Russians fleeing, because of Putin's broadening of his war

About huge numbers of Russians fleeing, because of Putin's broadening of his war on Ukraine, WITH HIS RENEWED OPEN THREATS TO "NUKE THE WEST", and his announced "Calling Up Of Reservists", conscripted to be forcibly sent there, to do his dirty-work.

My personal observations and comments:

It is very unfortunate, in my view, that most bordering western aligned/pro-Ukraine nations, have now closed their borders to ALL RUSSIAN-FEDERATION  citizens. Previously those border nations were the quickest and easiest countries to flee to: by train, short air-flights, roads, or to simply walk into,  for those many moral and righteous Russians, who do not want any part in Putin’s murderous fratricidal unjust war against their brother and sister, Ukrainians, a vicious genocidal war which many many Russian people, especially among the younger generation, MANY OF WHOM, DO NOT LIKE ANYTHING ABOUT PUTIN, or his insane plans to return Russia and its former satellite Soviet-Era  captive nations to  the “good old days” of the abysmal dismal backward  and unfree, USSR, and march further on, to rule the world. SO, they have to flee, if they can…but that takes MONEY, which many of younger Russians  do not have, especially as their Russian rubles now, are not being accepted in western nations.

So who can comfortably flee to the West. .or to ALMOST virtually anywhere around the globe?: wealthy Russians, with the Oligark class the most able to easily leave (perhaps even on their own luxury yachts, or jet-planes) and begin their lives anew, in the free West…or wherever.

P.S. In this sorry old, fallen from God’s grace, world, it is often the innocents, both of humans and the innocent animals,  and the materialy poorest, who suffer the most, from those who in their worldly arrogance, routinely imagine,  - that they DO NOT NEED GOD, and who distane the poor,  and in their sins and material excesses, of the most morally wicked among us….those who, in general RUN THIS ENTIRE WORLD…in .all nations, not alone Putin’s enslaved post-Soviet Russian Federation. ”The fool has said in his heart: There is no God!”.

IF Putin and his fellow Kremlin gangsters are not soon removed from power, it is now highly likely, for world-wide  nuclear war, at any day now. Entire nations may be removed from this earth. “Oh how! the wicked prosper!”

Even so, Come quickly Lord Jesus! Come quickly!

In prayer…………. and tears……….. and preparing for my own immortal soul’s departure,  I hope!... to the New Jerusalem On High- God grant it!

But why do so many others, now, not seem to understand, TO SEE,  how very grave is this situation?

Russians Rush for Flights out amid Partial Reservist Call-up

Wednesday, 21 September 2022

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Large numbers of Russians rushed to book one-way tickets out of the country while they still could Wednesday after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a partial mobilization of military reservists for the war in Ukraine.

Flights filled up quickly and the prices of tickets for remaining connections sky-rocketed, apparently driven by fears that Russia's borders could soon close or of a broader call-up that might send many Russian men of fighting age to the war's front lines.

Tickets for the Moscow-Belgrade flights operated by Air Serbia, the only European carrier besides Turkish Airlines to maintain flights to Russia despite a European Union flight embargo, sold out for the next several days. The price for flights from Moscow to Istanbul or Dubai increased within minutes before jumping again, reaching as high as 9,200 euros ($9,119) for a one-way economy class fare.

Putin's decree stipulates that the amount of people called to active duty will be determined by the Defense Ministry. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said in a televised interview that 300,000 reservists with relevant combat and service experience initially would be mobilized.

Russia has seen a marked exodus of citizens since Putin ordered his troops to invade Ukraine almost seven months ago. During the early morning address to the nation in which the president announced the partial mobilization of reservists, he also issued a veiled nuclear threat to Russia's enemies in the West.

Reports of panic spreading among Russians soon flooded social networks. Anti-war groups said the limited airplane tickets out of Russia reached enormous prices due to high demand and swiftly became unavailable.

Some postings alleged people already had been turned back from Russia's land border with Georgia and that the website of the state Russian railway company collapsed because too many people were checking for ways out of the country.

Social networks in Russian also surged with advice on how to avoid the mobilization or leave the country.

In an apparent attempt to calm the panic, the head of the defense committee of the lower house of Russia’s parliament, Andrei Kartapolov, said authorities would not place additional restrictions on reservists leaving Russia, according to Russian media reports.

A group based in Serbia, Russians, Belarussians, Ukrainians and Serbs Together Against War, tweeted that there were no available flights to Belgrade from Russia until mid-October. Flights to Turkey, Georgia or Armenia also sold out, according to the Belgrade-based group.

“All the Russians who wanted to go to war already went,” the group said. “No one else wants to go there!”

Serbia's capital, Belgrade, has become a popular destination for Russians during the war. Up to 50,000 Russians have fled to Serbia since Russia invaded Ukraine and many opened businesses, especially in the IT sector.

Russians don’t need visas to enter Serbia, which is the only European country which has not joined Western sanctions against Russia for its aggression in Ukraine.
