Russian man flees to avoid conscription to fight in Ukraine – BBC News


Some Russian men have left their country to avoid being called up by recruiters for Russia’s first military mobilisation since World War Two.

Long queues of traffic formed at the border crossing between Russia and Georgia.

Some of those heading into the neighbouring country used bicycles to bypass lines of cars and evade a ban on crossing on foot.

Despite his past service with an elite unit of the Russian army, one young man did everything he could to avoid being sent to fight in Ukraine.

He shared his ordeal with the BBC.
