A prominent Putin ally appeared to air grievances on live TV after supposedly receiving a conscription notice, but is the translation accurate?
There is no evidence that Vladimir Solovyov has been called up into the Russian army. The video is actually a deliberate mistranslation.
"Look at the conditions for those who are eligible for partial mobilization. Create the same conditions for the volunteers—god knows there are many more of them," Solovyov tells his guests."Give them the debt repayment break, give them job guarantees, give them a salary on par with professional soldiers."
The discussion continues, with Solovyov complaining about the lack of vetting for conscription, with notices handed out to people without checking their military service status. Throughout the video, the translation continues in a similarly misleading vein, picking out individual words correctly but twisting the meaning.
