Ukrainian soldier crashes Zoom call with Russian recruits

A Ukrainian soldier crashed a military recruitment event at a Russian university, telling students he would be forced to kill them if they joined the army.

In the viral clip, the masked soldier appears on a conference call during what seems to be a military outreach session at the Kuban State Agrarian University in Krasnodar, southern Russia.

Clad in a balaclava, camouflage colours and dark sunglasses, he first poses as a member of Russia’s elite Rubicon drone unit and embarks on an anecdote about “heroic Russian drone operators”, before suddenly dropping the pretence and revealing himself as Ukrainian, vowing to kill any enlistees.

“I am, in fact, a soldier, just not a Russian one,” he says. “I am Ukrainian. And I want to tell you this: God forbid you come here, I will have no choice but to kill you, each and every one of you who signs a contract."
