Putin Insists 99.9 Percent of Russians Ready to 'Sacrifice Everything'Russian President Vladimir Putin said that 99.9 percent of Russians would be willing to sacrifice their lives for the good of the country amid Moscow's ongoing invasion of Ukraine.Putin spoke on the matter during an interview with journalist Pavel Zarubin during a Christmas Day Rossiya-1 broadcast from Moscow.While the Russian leader did not specify which behaviors he viewed as counter to his plans, Russia has been dealing with a notable wave of desertions amid its efforts to mobilize troops for its invasion of Ukraine.Kazakhstan alone claimed at the time to have seen around 200,000 people enter its borders for that reason, with others also heading for Finland, Georgia, and Mongolia.The effort, however, continued to be wracked by chaos, with reports emerging of men being sent to the front lines with little or no training or equipment."
