Russians escape the country in the wake of Putin’s military mobilisation.
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to call up 300,000 military reservists to join the war in Ukraine has created chaos in the country.
While men are being summoned to the front lines to fight in the war on short notice, others are fleeing the country to escape the draft.
We talk to some of them.
