Russians flee their country to avoid conscription

Images and social media video from the border crossing between Russia and Georgia show long lines of stationary traffic through a mountain pass. Drone video uploaded from the area suggests there are hundreds of vehicles gathered on the Russian side, with witnesses saying that people are waiting up to 48 hours to cross into Georgia. #CNN #News

  1. I can’t believe so many people are suffering because of ONE CRAZY PERSON! Slava Ukraine! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

    1. “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17

      “Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.” Matthew 5:38-39

      “And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Matthew 6:5-6○

    2. The same thing happened when Adolf Hitler came to power. Millions died for one demented Austrian. He wasn’t even German
      Just so sad.

    2. @William Shaw right man goverment give out the order for the drafted if the war that threat the people and the world but this is not a drafted, its a forces to join with your say and mental to say no.

  2. I’m from the US, but I have a friend who live in Russia. He told me that, the situation is very worst. People who leave the country late are forced to stay, nearly half of the man are fleeing away from mobilization. He also added that, the demonstrations against military recruitment are bigger day by day, and the food are smaller than normal. But, at the end of his speech, he said that he only wants the peace and happiness, and he also wishes every Ukrainian good luck and safe and appreciate for their effort to protect their motherland.

    1. @James Guy Photography In Russia today, the police raped a young poet for writing poems against the war. His girlfriend was beaten and showed her a video of him being raped.
      Not everyone is ready to protest in such conditions.

    2. @James Guy Photography Well, Putin’s police, unlike Trump’s supporters, have indeed killed hundreds of people already. Often very cruel.

  3. I can’t imagine they are keeping a list of who is leaving and then sending draft notices only to the people who stayed. So I imagine when/if they return there will be a warrant. Sad.

    1. @Alex S That’s another obstacle, have any of the surrounding countries offered fleeing Russians asylum? I know Georgia allows Russians to stay for up to 1yr without a passport, but that may change if they have a migrant crisis. Plus, how are so many people able to uproot from their income and belongings and go to an entirely different culture & language then rebuild?

      Personally, I hope Ukraine can work with the Russians soldiers that don’t want to be there to figure out a way people being forced into a war because they protested it for ex, can safely surrender. I’m sure they would welcome the equipment too.

    1. I know, I think it is because the west did nothing when he invaded crimea. He assumed the west would do nothing again, he was wrong and he continues to be wrong on most decisions.

  4. Putin should take note of how effective we were in Viet Nam with an unwillingly drafted army. It ended the draft in our country.

    1. Ukraine is worse for Russia than Vietnam was for US. Cold war ended Soviet system and this war will end the Russian federation

  5. Heard a Mom who was protesting saying they are already taking the most valuable thing we have, our child’s lives, they can’t have my child’s life, I am not afraid as there’s nothing worse they can do to us than take our children’s lives.

  6. Respect for the women from Dagestan .. They said well ..WHO is attacking Russia..Nobody. Russia invaded Ukraine
    Respect for all standing to the regime

    1. What were the geniuses at Youtube thinking
      when they removed the block user button ???
      Now I can’t I just easily block the entire Youtube user profile
      of these annoying bots. Instead I have to block each message they post !!
      This is extremely annoying.

  7. In this day an age people don’t want war with others. The Country Leaders who wants it should be the ones on battle grounds with those who wants it.

  8. Each and every human being is unique, a fantastic living being. How tragic it is that young people are sent to war as cannon fodder because one man of power clings to power in the abyss of his greatness.

  9. I am heartbroken to see what the mothers are doing trying to prevent their young sons from being conscripted. Stay tough Russian people and stay safe.
