Protests have erupted across Russia since President Putin yesterday issued a mobilization order for the Ukraine war.
Escape marches continued on the roads leading to the border and airports as people trying to escape enforcement, and Internet searches for things like ‘how to break an arm’ skyrocketed.

“No war! No war!”
After protesting Putin’s announcement of mobilization orders poured into the streets, Russia used armed police to detain protesters.
In just one day yesterday, more than 1,300 people were arrested in 38 Russian cities.

“The most valuable thing a government can take away is the lives of our children. I will not give up on their lives.”
A Russian opposition leader has urged protesters in a prison video, saying Putin’s greed is killing people.

“Putin is now throwing millions of Russian citizens who should have led normal lives into the meat grinder of war.”
With the declaration of the mobilization order, an escape march continued at the border and the airport.
The road to the Finnish-Georgian border has become a parking lot with the influx of vehicles, and direct flights to Turkey and Armenia, where you can go without a visa, are sold out.

“I am afraid that the Russian government will take my interview and question it. I want the war in Ukraine to end.”
Those who cannot leave Russia are looking for ways to avoid enforcement, and ‘how to break an arm’ has exploded in searches in just one day.
From tomorrow, Russia will hold a vote to annex the territories of the four occupied territories, including Donetsk and Luhansk, earlier than expected in November.
Regardless of the recognition of the international community, it appears that the mobilization order was used to counterattack the pretext that Ukraine invaded Russia after turning it into Russian territory by referendum.

“I emphasize once again, by all means available. Those who try to scare us with nuclear weapons need to know that the wind can turn.”
To Putin, who suggested that he might even use nuclear weapons, the United States warned that the use of nuclear weapons would have serious consequences.
