In Russia, Fear of New Mobilization Drives Men Into Exile
According to Le Monde, Russian men of military age are preparing to leave the country should a general mobilization be announced following legislative elections scheduled for September 18-20.
According to an article published by Le Monde, several Russian men of military age are considering leaving their country over fears of a new wave of military mobilization, which could be declared after legislative elections scheduled for September 18-20.
According to the newspaper, some of these men have already purchased airline tickets and are ready to leave as soon as a general mobilization order is announced. Georgia, Armenia, and Serbia are among the most popular destinations for those seeking to avoid a potential call to arms.
Le Monde cites testimony from Russian citizens expressing their reluctance to participate in what they describe as an "endless war." According to statements reported by the newspaper, "ordinary citizens do not want to be sent to an endless war."
The article notes that this concern comes at a time when questions about additional mobilization have resurfaced as the legislative vote approaches, though Russian authorities have not yet confirmed such a measure.
Le Monde does not specify the exact number of people involved in these anticipated departures, nor the precise terms of any potential new mobilization.
