"Nothing can replace the loss of a son", he said in his opening remarks, shown on Russian state media. As per news report of BBC, several of the mothers are members of pro-Kremlin movements. Critics say they were carefully chosen for the meeting. Within Russia, opposition to his invasion of Ukraine has been growing. Across the country, groups of mothers of serving soldiers have been openly complaining that their sons are being sent into battle poorly trained and without adequate weapons and clothing, especially as the bitterly cold winter sets in.
