Report: Nearly 200K Russians Have Fled Since Putin Mobilization Order
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The Associated Press reports nearly 200,000 Russians have fled to
Georgia, Kazakhstan and Finland since Russian President Vladimir Putin
announced a partial mobilization to draft at least 300,000 to fight in
Ukraine. Traffic jams heading into Georgia have been up to 10 miles
long. One Russian man spoke to Reuters after crossing into Georgia with
his children.

Denis: "People who are against the regime, who are not ready to go to
war, I mean, they are ready to fight if there is a war for truth, a fair
war. When you are defending your home, it is fair. You go, and you are
not afraid. And when you go to fight in a stupid war, to kill your
brother, it is a war about nothing. And that's why people are leaving."
