Update from Saturday, September 24, 8:54 a.m .:
Before traveling to the war front in Ukraine, some Russian reservists seem to get drunk again.
This should show videos that are circulating on social networks.
Some of Putin's soldiers can hardly stand up.
A group of mainly young men toasts each other with red cups.
The bus seems to be waiting at the top, taking the group further and further in the direction of Ukraine.
Despite mass protests across the country, the men appear to have resigned themselves to their fate as war soldiers.
It is unclear whether they want to drink courage or celebrate one last time.
Videos should show how Russian soldiers go to the front (symbolic photo).
