After Russian president Vladimir Putin announced a war mobilization of 300,000 additional troops and raised the possibility, residents in Russia have been eager to flee the nation, seen here along the Russian-Georgian border in Vladikavkaz.

"The situation in Russia is alarming, I'm against it because not one normal person wants to fight, I won't take up arms either," said Artem, a Russian citizen driving across the border.

Russian traffic police have shut down parts of the border and instituted a curfew and are reportedly only allowing cars with local license plates to cross the border. Some people are going to the border and being transported by locals, according to Newsflare sources.
