many ukrainians left their homes long before moscow staged. it's so cold referendums on their future. those who stayed face the likelihood they'll now have to live as citizens of russia, and perhaps even become fighters for its army. lulu detail view correspondence. ne conley is in the ukrainian capital kiva, and gave us his assessment of whether people in occupied regions of ukraine would fight for russia. was sidney. we have already seen signs the russia is trying to recruit people in these regions so far with a promise of money and other cut near. occasionally there been reports of dressed and kind of pressure applied these people to different offense. the russia would rather recruit people from tonya formula. honda can maybe even put egypt, other parts are locked by ukraine rather than risking the kind of kind of social conflict we're seeing in the mobilization in russia itself. as for people being willing to fight against you, granting it their own country, you're often going to be a question of how much freedom they have to choose. how m

so moscow is not listening to what mr. gotta go. tennis is saying, a lot of moscow is in another world. russia is bracing for celebrations and the historic speechway vladimir putin. president vladimir put him tomorrow. so i mean, the logic here is very different. we are in the, i'm, i mean, i'm talking from a place where, i mean, things are seen from a completely different perspective. russians are bracing for what they call the correction of history. i think that those 32 is blocked russia and that it was wrong in the 1st place to, to let them go. and now it is time. it is the coronation of this, or of the sacrifice is given by the but by the ashes during this war and before. and it's, it's just less than 24 hours before the before it starts. and that is when the president vladimir putin will sign this agreement with the leaders of the for breakaway regents who have already landed here in moscow. i don't think that russia is really listening to what the secretary general of the united nations is saying. and they think tha
