Exodul de frica mobilizării. Peste 113.000 de ruși s-au înghesuit la un punct de frontieră de frică să nu fie trimiși la război
Over 113,000 Russians left the country last week through the Verhni Lars border point amid fears of a new mobilization by the Kremlin. Increased recruitment measures and data collection on reservists have raised concerns about a rapid mobilization of hundreds of thousands by the end of the year. Despite Kremlin denials, the situation on the front lines suggests recruitment challenges for Russia. Recent laws indicate preparations for a more aggressive mobilization, while the government seeks to avoid an official declaration of mobilization to maintain its image. Efforts to recruit students have largely failed, reflecting a broader reluctance among young men to join the military.
