SCRIPT via Ruptly -youtube- Ukrainian mothers issued an emotional and tearful statement to President Poroshenko of Ukraine on Friday, asking him to not call men from their village community of Suhoy Liman up for military service. The village is located outside the city of Odessa Over 100 men in the villages surrounding Odessa have recently received new draft notices to join the Ukrainian military, inspiring women in at least four regions of Ukraine to protest. Slava, a local wife and mother explained that the women are fearful that the military does not have the money or equipment to protect the men. She added it is better politicians and oligarchs send their own children to war to set an example. ............................................. M/S Mothers holding banners C/U Sign reading (in Russian) Dont make children orphans and wives and mothers widows! SOT Slava, local mother (in Russian): (If the state) is mobilising the population, the state is obliged to provide them with protective equipment, food and respectable supplies. But at this stage, when the states treasury is empty, it looks not like a mobilisation, but as a set of cannon fodder. C/U Letter M/S Mothers listening SOT Slava, local mother (in Russian): And talking untruth, that all these protests, mothers protests are paid for. This is not truth. We are all here... Nobody has paid us anything. We are coming out with pain in our hearts, are worried, to protect our children. C/U Sign reading (in Russian) Why is mobilization avoiding office-holders` children? SOT Slava, local mother (in Russian): Lugansk and Donetsk are already overflown with blood! Do you really want the whole of Ukraine overwhelmed by blood?! No goals can justify the death of the citizens of Ukraine. Stop! We will not let go of our sons and husbands! Kill us together with them!
