Queue at Russian border stretches 10km as people flee

Hours after the Kremlin shocked Russia by announcing the first mobilisation of at least 300,000 troops since the second world war has led to a rush among men of military age to leave the country.

The line at the border between Russia and Georgia is approximately 10km long, Qazet.az reports according to BBC.

Options to flee are limited, people fleeing previously told the Guardian. Earlier this week, four of the five EU countries bordering Russia announced they would no longer allow Russians to enter on tourist visas.
