Do we have any other sources for the mass refusal to fight in #RussianInvasion of #Ukraine by Belarusian rank-and-file soldiers [1]? Seems like Putin's Plan B (extra infantry from #Belarus) has a serious flaw.

Any mainstream media (WP:RS) for the Melitopol protestors blocking Russian military vehicles on 1 March?

26 Feb: occupiers took over: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Melitopol

1 Mar: residents vigorously protest and make occupants wonder what on Earth they're doing there: https://nitter.it/GirkinGirkin/status/1498696712466092037

I guess "Zamoy"(?) means something like "Leave!" ?

"this is why russian invaders already lost. a group of unarmed civilians stopped russian tanks at dniprorudne in zaporizhia region. that tank man is the city's mayor yevheniy matveyev who convinced the invaders to turn around"

"But no one asks the citizens of RU. ... State TV presents only 1 point of view, ... of the supporters of the war. There are direct military threats, aggression and hatred against UA, US and [the West]. But the most dangerous thing is that war is presented as a permissible and inevitable development of events."
