I think that right now it's super important to keep a cool head, not to draw attention to oneself too much, look for possible solutions and search for information that may help. I also heard, that there is a "service" now, where people can tell on their neighbors if they suspect they are pro-Russian, so better not to play with that. Wish you luck!

A ticket from Pinsk to Moscow, for example, now costs almost 100$ It is a bit expensive (probably would cost more, depends on where in Russia are your friends) but maybe if you could at least flee the country, we could collect money for the ticket for you? Maybe you could talk to your Russian friends?

I'm saying that you can not cross the border now, even if I can reach it - even the guards let women out of the country with reproaches and insults, blaming of betraying the motherland. and men chafing with transport and transfer to the military. situation is compounded by the fact that I have 3 younger brothers and sister, 2 brothers - little kids. I alone might try to take a chance to wade, but to do it with the whole family? all men from 18 to 60 - in the list. junta has forbidden to leave even the border of region. We just, at best, be arrested.

Притвориться что ты сильно уверовал в то чему они учат. Но повестки уже есть, + если они уже людей с улицы попросту забирают - не вариант. Единственный вариант переехать куда-то, но как. Если есть знакомые, близкие или родня в России – можно попробовать, даже если нету, все равно нужно уезжать.
Знакомые в России есть, но они все очень далеко, и добраться туда теперь стоит больших денег. И теперь, выбраться из страны легальным образом невозможно. Они просто ловят каждого не то что на границе, а вообще в любом транспорте даже пригородного сообщения.

Mobilization flooded cyberspace messages full of grief and despair. Wives, mothers and sisters are trying to figure out how to avoid the mobilization of men, and there are a few Ukrainian guys eager to go into the war zone.
"I do not want to join the army, I am a free man, no one can make me do this, I owe only to my parents and children. I suppose that this war is for volunteers or mercenaries" "Vyshivatnik in Postol" writes in a blog. "Everyone knows what to do. Whilst still free, you have a choice. Once captured, your choice narrows dramatically" a man named krizis_ua suggests in one of the blogs.
Several options of avoiding were suggested in the forum by some ru_antifem "Tear the notice apart, don't go to any draft boards. If caught - just refuse, do not take the oath. Even if caught - find a way to escape through the fence, yet there is no guard as in prisons. " [could be dangerous..]
"To hide, to leave for six months. You do not need to hide for 10 years, after a few months the situation will change drastically. Situation is that one will be punished, all - no. Failures will be massive, they will not punish almost anyone. Perhaps one should break his arm or something like that then. Healed in a month or two, and it's better than if you will be killed in the war or will get a much more serious injury," the forum residents say.
A more peaceful and legal proposal was received from a user under the name of Shtirlits "Ukrainian mothers ought to write letters to the UN en masse stating that their sons want to exercise their fundamental right - the right for life and are not willing to fight for the criminal regime of Kiev. I think that if there will be millions of such letters, the UN will not be able to ignore them. " [useless I think]
But it turned out that not only the male population of the country are concerned about the prospect to serve their fatherland. [the image suggests that women can also be possibly recruited like in Israel where women also must serve]
In his personal blog on Livejournal, the journalist Alexander Zhilin devoted a column to the question of paying one's way out from mobilization stating very specific prices: two thousand dollars or more.
"Three days ago, a friend of mine at the age of 28 years from Vasil'kova, which is 30 km from Kiev, bought off directly at the assembly point for 5 thousand dollars," says Zhilin.
"Specially trained people serving military commissars appear on the collection points, as the devils out of the ground. They look and evaluate how much you can cost. Uncapable to pay losers are sent to the front in the first place, and quickly, to get rid of them. But dollar keepers are being "pressured and forced to redemption of their own lifes" this is how their professional slang describes this activity," says Zhilin.
It has long been on the internet that recruits are being pulled straight out of their personal cars, private apartments, offices or even on the way: from trains. Just recently, one of these warnings was posted by the journalist Alyona Kochkina on Facebook served the reason for a new internet meme.
This post has caused a boom in the network with more than a thousand reposts, where everyone suggested their unique versions of where and who else can be captured.
