Men in Russia fleeing due to conscription order

Article here. Can you blame them? Excerpt:

'Within hours of Vladimir Putin’s announcement that he was introducing “partial mobilisation,” to bolster his crumbling army in Ukraine, Russian men began to flee the country in huge numbers.

Russian defence minister, Sergei Shoigu followed up Putin’s speech with an announcement that 300,000 reservists would be conscripted into the armed forces.

Video shot at Russia ’s border with Finland showed a tailback over 20 miles long, with hundreds, perhaps thousands, of men trying to get out of the country before they were called up.'
