Behind the scenes in Putins stage managed dinner with pro Putin mothers
Putin told the dozen or so Russian mothers that he felt their pain of losing their sons on the battle field of the Ukraine.
What he left out of the stage managed meeting was that their sons had not been trained, were poorly equipped, had no medical supplies, were used as cannon fodder and would have been arrested and thrown in jail fir Treason against Mother Russia if they had refused the call up for compulsory military service to the Russian Motherland.
According to Putin they died as heroes which is probably better than being jailed for treason and left to rot in a Russian Gulag.
