STORY: Russian politicians are apparently calling for a ban on leaving the country for men able to fight. Anyone of draft age should not be allowed to travel abroad in the current situation, MP Sergei Tsekov said on Monday. According to its own statements, the Russian government has not yet made any decisions about border closures, said government spokesman Dmitry Peskov. In addition, some convocations were incorrect. This will be corrected. After the partial mobilization in Russia, many Russians are trying to leave the country. Queues have been seen at border crossings to Georgia or Finland for days. According to the Finnish authorities, almost 17,000 Russians crossed the border over the weekend. That is an increase of 80 percent compared to the weekend before. The border traffic calmed down a bit early Monday, but was still more lively than in the previous weeks, the border guard said.
