Putin signs law to mobilize 300,000 Russian men of fighting age

To join the front line as cannon fodder for the war against Ukraine. Within minutes Google searches for one way plane tickets out of Russia to the few remaining Russian friendly destinations including Tel Aviv jump 400%. Airline seat prices also sky rocket.

The law has also been changed to make avoiding conscription a crime punishable by jail time.

@tindrummer They don’t have a choice. If they speak out against him they will be arrested and jailed for 15 years. Life in Russian gulag is no holiday.

@justanothername I know that but most russians don't have to be threatened - they believe what putin's media tell them and support his war

@tindrummer They either don’t have a choice or they don’t get a choice.
