Lukashenko: Russians who fled abroad from partial mobilization will return
After Vladimir Putin announced a partial mobilization in Russia on September 21, huge queues of our compatriots who wanted to leave the country lined up on the border with Kazakhstan and Georgia. It was also reported that on the day the corresponding order was signed in Moscow, all air tickets to popular visa-free destinations were sold out.
Thus, "potential conscripts" are trying to avoid partial mobilization by simply leaving Russia.
This situation caused a flurry of indignation both among ordinary citizens and in the political leadership of the country. In particular, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, spoke out with sharp criticism of the “deviators”, calling the latter “cowards” and men without honor.
At the same time, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko does not consider the situation threatening or critical. He recalled that Russia's mobilization reserve reaches 25 million people. Consequently, if 30-50 thousand "evaders" leave the country, then this will not affect the combat capability of the Russian army in any way. Moreover, in the course of partial mobilization, about 300 thousand people should be called up.
In turn, Lukashenka is confident that the Russians who fled abroad from mobilization will return. According to him, something similar happened in his country during the failed coup in 2020. Now many people have returned.
- summed up the Belarusian leader in a conversation with the President of Russia.
