DLNews Ukrain-War:
As soon as Vladimir Putin (69) announced the partial mobilization of the armed forces on Wednesday, countless Russians started looking for ways to leave the country. Related inquiries went through the roof on the Internet, and flight prices exploded.
Now the warmonger is panicking about a mass exodus - and reacts with all severity: The "law on the mobilization of Russia" forces a travel ban on conscripts!
It states: “Citizens who are registered (as reservists) in the military register are prohibited from leaving their place of residence from the moment of mobilization without the permission of the military commissariats and the executive bodies responsible for reserves.”
That's not all: Anyone who refuses to fight faces up to ten years in prison! In addition, the prison sentences for voluntary entry into captivity were increased.
"Let's get away instead of going to the front."
The partial mobilization, which according to experts, could end in a MEGA failure, is shocking its own population! Observers on Twitter speak of panic in the country.
A young recruit cries after being drafted into the military: After the partial mobilization of warmonger Vladimir Putin, one-way flights in Russia are in great demand.
The result: After Putin's announcement that he would send 300,000 fresh soldiers to Ukraine, more and more Russians wanted nothing but to leave instead of going to the front! Long traffic jams form at the first borders. And according to Internet data, demand for one-way flights has exploded.
Airfares skyrocket
Statistics from Google Trends show a spike in searches for Aviasales, the most famous Russian website for buying airline tickets. However, flights from Moscow to Istanbul and Yerevan (Armenia) - both destinations for which Russians do not require entry visas - are already sold out on Wednesday, according to Aviasales. For example, some routes with stopovers, including Moscow to Tbilisi, were also unavailable.
The cheapest flights from the capital to Dubai cost more than 300,000 rubles (about 5,000 euros), about five times the average Russian monthly wage. And example Istanbul: The trip, which costs around 500 euros, suddenly costs 2500 euros in the coming days.
Prices to other destinations, such as Belgrade, have also exploded.
Traffic jam at the border with Finland
Witnesses report on Twitter that the first Russians wanting to leave the country have been turned away at the borders. Webcams show that a long traffic jam towards Finland has formed at the border between Russia and Finland - the last connection to the west.

Even the citizens of Moscow are no longer safe from Putin's war mania. Residents warn that military patrols are moving, stopping people on the street and issuing summonses for military service. The Kremlin-critical portal "Where is Russia today?" quotes an eyewitness: "They (the military) just took three guys off the street and put them in a military unit."
Crazy: Online searches for "how to break your arm" have also increased dramatically. For many Russians, the prospect of pain and a few weeks of plaster still seems better than being burned to death at the front.
