In a scathing address, Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized Kiev’s decision to lower the mobilization age, labeling it a "crime against the Ukrainian people." He accused the Ukrainian government of treating its citizens like “stray dogs,” forcibly rounding up men in the streets and now targeting young boys to face bullets on the frontlines. Putin condemned the policy as reckless and inhumane, arguing that it reflects the desperation of Ukraine's leadership amid ongoing conflict. The remarks have sparked heated debate, drawing attention to the human cost of the war and the controversial methods employed to sustain Ukraine's military efforts.

00:00If they reduce the mobilization age, lower the service age, young boys will be herded
00:06and sent.
00:08We saw how they are being caught in the streets like stray dogs.
00:12So is this statehood?
00:13No.
00:14This is clear signs of the loss of statehood.
00:20So I think if they reduce the mobilization age, lower the service age, it will not change
00:32the situation on the battlefield like it didn't for Hitler's Germany.
00:36But it will be one in a series of crimes they commit against their people.
00:41It doesn't protect the interests of the Ukrainian people.
00:45Such a decision would only protect the decisions of those who give decisions from abroad.
00:50That is the only motivation.
00:54Young boys will be herded and sent to be slaughtered.
01:01We saw how they are being caught in the streets like stray dogs and sent to face the bullets.
01:09And now they'll be sending young boys to do that.
01:13The minister mentioned the illegitimacy of the Kiev regime, which we're fighting against.
01:19And that's one of the things I want to emphasize.
01:21We're not fighting against the Ukrainian people, but the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev, which captured
01:28the power in 2014 through a coup d'etat.
01:31That is the source of their power.
01:33And all the troubles of Ukraine today and all Russia's troubles that stem from this
01:39began with the bloody anti-constitutional coup.
01:44And that is something that is still relevant today.
01:47Because those people in power there, they commit crimes every day against their own
01:56people.
01:57This regime is obviously losing the nature of a state.
02:05Our priorities include maintaining stability, strategic security, protecting territorial
02:12integrity and sovereignty of our country through the development of our strategic nuclear forces.
02:23And we will continue this work, creating new systems.
02:29The share of state-of-the-art military equipment in nuclear forces is now 95 percent.
02:38And the basic principles governing the use of such weapons have been updated, as outlined
02:44in the updated state nuclear deterrence policy.
02:49And once again, so that no one accuses us of nuclear saber-rattling, it is a deterrence
02:58policy.
02:59Countries are racking up their military expenses, they're deploying their strike groups near
03:08our borders.
03:11And now there are over 100,000 troops in Europe.
03:18And this is far more than the warranted amount.
03:22They're also growing their presence in the Asia-Pacific.
03:27The United States is creating new military and political alliances that undermine the
03:35established security architecture that had been created over decades.
03:40The Oreshnik Intermediate-Range Strike Complex has been a well-noted innovation.
03:48We have used it as a response to the Western long-range weapons being deployed in Ukraine.
03:58It was used in a non-nuclear form.
04:02And we must ensure mass production of these complexes to protect ourselves and our allies.
04:08They are working on the deployment and redeployment of missile systems in Europe and Asia-Pacific.
04:18And we used to have a treaty which regulated these activities.
04:23But it has now no longer in force.
04:27Due to the actions of the United States, we have underscored many times that we will not
04:34deploy intermediate-range missiles until the United States deploy similar weapons in a
04:41region of the world.
04:43That was essentially a unilateral obligation undertaken by Russia.
04:48But if the United States start deploying such weapons, then any and all such voluntary restrictions
04:55will be lifted.
04:58And considering the situation, we have to take additional measures to ensure our safety
05:03and the safety of our allies.
