A clip shared to Twitter on Tuesday by Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to the Ukrainian Minister of Internal Affairs, showed a woman being interviewed on a Russian news program and purportedly explaining the grim predicament her friend is experiencing with her son.

“An acquaintance of my family sold practically everything she had and sent her [son] to the Canary Islands because she is very worried about her child,” the unnamed woman said in the clip, according to subtitles provided by Gerashchenko. “She is willing to give anything to have her child there, away from this situation she does not understand. Do you understand mothers? Do you understand how they feel at that moment?”

A Russian priest, who was not identified in the clip, suggested in response that mothers should should have had more children if they are now worried about losing sons to the war in Ukraine. He also took the opportunity to implicitly denounce abortion and various means of contraception.

“I understand that every woman by nature has been allowed by God to have many children in most cases,” the priest said, according to the subtitles. “If a woman keeps the commandment of procreation and has renounced artificial means of termination of pregnancy, in the widest range, it is obvious that she will have more than one child in most cases. So she won’t be as [pained] or scared to part with [them]… God willing, things will turn out alright.”

As of roughly three hours after the clip was shared, it had been viewed on Twitter nearly 105,000 times and received over 2,500 likes.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced in late September that the country would be implementing its first partial military mobilization since World War II, in order to bolster the war effort in Ukraine. As of October 14, Putin said that around 220,000 men had been drafted into military service, with the goal being 300,000. Another Russian official hinted the following Monday that the mobilization effort had ended, though it remains unclear if the final goal was met.

As of August, six months after Russia initially invaded Ukraine, the Pentagon estimated that 70,000 to 80,000 of the country’s soldiers had been killed or wounded in the conflict. As many as 700,000 Russians are estimated to have fled the country in response to Putin’s partial mobilization.
