Ryuu96 said:

Kremlin spokesman: Putin was unaware that Russian conscripts were sent to Ukraine.

He claimed that Russian armed forces were told not to involve conscripts. It's the first time that Russia admitted sending conscripted soldiers to fight in Ukraine.

Kremlin says Putin ordered conscripts to be excluded from Ukraine operations and is now asking military prosecutors to find and punish those who allowed conscripts to go to Ukraine. https://t.co/fkARqoGq8n

This is massive. Putin finally got pinned in a corner where he had two bad options and he had to choose one of them: Either admit he was lying to his own people or admit he doesn't have a firm control on his own military, further showing his incompetence.
