DESPERATE Russians are frantically attempting to flee the country to avoid being catapulted to the frontline amid Putin's call up.
Huge queues have built at the borders with Finland, Georgia and Mongolia as tens of thousands try to escape being sent into the tyrant’s “meatgrinder”.
Protest erupted in 38 cities after Putin announced a partial mobilisation in a TV address to bolster crumbling efforts in Ukraine.
But they have been met with baton-wielding cops, with at least 1,386 people arrested.
As the fear of conscription ripples through Russia, some men have been hauled out of bed in the middle of the night and told they had four hours to pack their belongings and obey the mobilisation order.
There were reports of people cowering behind doors and refusing to accept the military summonses.
In Luchegorsk, men who refused to open doors at night were handed the summonses when they arrived at work this morning.
Some 60 men were taken to Bikin, in Khabarovsk region, and sent into the hands of the Russian military machine.
Footage showed Russians enlisted by Putin's mobilisation being taken to training camps.
One man made a last-ditch attempt to escape the enlistment office in Blagoveshchensk by leaping out of a first-floor window.
Police are still searching for him.
Orders have been issued stating all men in the two million-strong pool of reserves are banned from leaving their region.

Ivans have nothing tangible to fight for...unlike 1941 to 45.

Think again, Odessa, Kharkov and the eastern provinces were historically Russian, Catherine the Great created Odessa. The Russian people want their land back, as are rumblings with Poland reclaiming their historic territory.
Putin is much like Trump, he currently has a 95 percent approval rating.

“Let’s see...Our guys were called up for some little skirmish in Nam. My buddies and my cousins...didn’t have a choice.”
Hmmm. Your buddies: That implies you were all around the same age. THEY were called up...didn’t have a choice. You know what’s missing from your comment? YOU! Your buddies were called up; but if you had, as well, you would have said, “WE were called up.” But, you didn’t say that. So, you either enlisted (didn’t wait to get drafted), skated on a deferment, or hauled ass to Canada. Your profile page is blank. So, which was it?
“Probably. Countries defending themselves from invaders bent on conquest generally are willing to fight to the last man.”
That’s a fact. Only someone who is not willing to make such a sacrifice would criticize and ridicule someone who would. That says a lot about some of these pro-Russia posters: Tough at a keyboard, but would run away at the slightest hint of trouble. A man who would not be willing to give his all to protect and defend his country, his home, his loved ones, and all he holds dear, is not, in fact, a man; and his very name is an insult to those better than he.
B.S.
“Pretty big difference between being the invaded and fighting for your country’s existence vs being the invader in a mindless war of conquest launched by a mad man.”
Absolutely.
Go away TROLL
“In their shoes, I would be pleased with the ongoing demilitarization of Europe, NATO and the US, and opt to continue until I saw the bottom of their weapons barrel.”
You ARE in their shoes; you’ve been carrying their water from Day One.
Women are included in the Russian mobilization order: the plan is to draw females - non-officer females up to 45 & officer females up to 50.
It was called the draft. My husband was drafted and sent to Vietnam. He didn’t want to go but he did.
People forget, but this is another British tabloid, so there is that.
How do you know what the Russians expected would happen when they rolled into Ukraine? Did the media inform your opinion? 🤣
My buddies are work buddies and my cousins were younger than me. I'm 78...mother of 3 and grandmother to 5.
Ah. Please accept my apology; I mistook you for another poster.
If only Ukraine hadn’t violated the Minsk Agreements twice and attacked their own citizens in the Donbas for 8 years...
If only NATO had lived up to the terms of their 1991 agreement with Russia, forcing Putin’s hand...we wouldn’t be in this precarious situation.
Lots of blame to go around.
Sound of Music.

FIRST FLOOR WINDOW? Not much a leap. Not paratrooper material, it seems.
