Ukrainians hacked into the video and told Russian students: “Come and we will kill you!”
During a military presentation event, a soldier who was supposed to be Russian, but was actually Ukrainian, allegedly warned university students in Kuban against joining the army and told them that they would have to be killed at the front.
Students and professors at the State Agricultural University in the Russian city of Kuban found themselves in an unexpected situation during a mandatory lecture on military recruitment. A video conference aimed at persuading students to sign contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defense was interrupted after an individual who identified himself as a Ukrainian soldier joined the broadcast. Radio Moldova reports.
The video went viral on social media
The video of the incident quickly spread on Telegram through channels associated with Yevgeny Volnov. Although Volnov shared the video, he did not officially claim responsibility for the hack. Independent media outlet Meduza confirmed the location of the event, as the background in the video matches well-known premises of the university. The exact date of the incident remains unknown, but the university’s insignia is clearly visible on the video.
A cemetery that spans two countries
The hack was accompanied by a direct message to the participants. The unidentified speaker claimed that he and his troops had already identified those present, including the university chancellor and military representatives. “I’m a soldier, but not Russian – I’m Ukrainian,” he declared during the broadcast.
He warned the students not to join the war, and in harsh words described the consequences of entering Ukrainian territory. The speaker emphasized the scale of the conflict, describing it as a “graveyard stretching across two countries.” He concluded his address with a direct threat to all who would sign a contract to serve on Ukrainian territory.
The incident points to the possible use of psychological operations aimed at domestic Russian recruitment efforts.
