Mehr Russen verlassen die Heimat um Mobilisierung zu entgehen
October 5, 2022 -
Seit Präsident Wladimir Putin die teilweise Mobilisierung angeordnet hat, haben tausende Russen hre Heimat verlassen um keinen Militärdienst bei den Truppen in der Ukraine leisten zu müsssen.
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said more than 200,000 people have been conscripted into the army since Putin’s Sep. 21 order for a partial call-up, according to Bloomberg.
That matches an exodus of more than 200,000 Russians to neighbouring Kazakhstan alone over the same period. Almost 69,000 Russians crossed into Georgia by Sep. 30 and the EU said last week that 66,000 Russians had entered the bloc in the week to Sep. 25.
In Mongolia, border officials reported that more than 12,000 Russians entered the country by Oct. 2, Bloomberg said.
