News has been spreading daily that the Russian government will ban conscriptable men from leaving the country next week. According to information, the provision will come into force from Wednesday, in connection with the results of the sham referendums in the occupied territories being submitted to the Duma on Thursday, after which Putin will announce the annexation of the territories on Friday.
The independent Russian news portal Meduza, citing government sources, said in the evening that the restrictions could come into force tomorrow. The military commander of the Rostov region, Igor Yegorov, did not wait for this either and said this evening that men aged between 18 and 65 would be allowed to leave the country only with the permission of the military authorities. At a press conference yesterday, Yegorov said that the training of those called up would take up to ten days (!
According to a statement from the Ukrainian General Staff this evening, some of those called up this week are already at the front. No other source has confirmed this so far, so we treat it with reservations, but it would not be a big surprise.
In Dagestan, there have been demonstrations against the conscription throughout the day, with several clashes between the population and the police. A large number of men from the Caucasus region have already been sent to the front.
A 30-kilometre queue has formed at the Georgian-Russian border, with many people leaving their cars behind to cross on foot, but there are already reports that Georgia is closing its borders to Russian men, following Finland. There is also a 30-kilometre traffic jam at the Kazakh-Russian border at Ozinki.
The Russian population is now not only watching Putin's war on TV, but has become part of it
