Moscow are on the verge of possibly declaring martial law and could be set to close their borders to stop “everyone” of “conscription age” from fleeing Russia’s first mass mobilisation since World War Two.
Vladimir Putin has ordered the Russian authorities to send in soldiers to the borders and they are issuing call up papers and it will most likely end up with them arresting everyone who is of conscript age and throw them into training camps.
Russian regional officials have gone to the Georgian border where “some 10,000 Russian men” are queuing to evade conscription to enter the country.
However, the former Vice-Speaker of Georgian Parliament and ex Deputy Foreign Minister, Sergi Kapanadze wrote on Twitter, “The situation on the Russian-Georgian border is starting to resemble a humanitarian disaster.
“Probably around 40-50 thousand persons are queued up to cross into Georgia.

“Men are abandoning cars and leaving wives and children behind just to cross the border before being mobilised.”
“They say BTR is there to prevent reservists from illegally escaping Russia… but that there are no restrictions on draft-age men.”
“The armored personnel carrier is moving there, but it is not moving to set up a checkpoint, it is, roughly speaking, a reserve just in case the reservists want to break through the checkpoint and leave the country without completing any border formalities.”
