650,000 Russians have fled country since Ukraine war began, study estimates | BBC News

Hundreds of thousands of Russians are estimated to have left their country since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

President Putin began a military mobilisation in September 2022 described as “partial” by the authorities, but in reality it meant most men were at risk of the draft.

Families started leaving in droves, creating long queues lasting for days on Russia’s borders with Georgia and Kazakhstan.

  1. meanwhile over half of ukraines population is now living in a foreign country or fled. but sure, keep telling us about all the russian problems in a country of over a hundred million people…

  2. I read information suggesting that Russia attacked Ukraine just because they were joining NATO, which made Russia feel threatened, and they did not hesitate to attack their own homeland.
    What a lovely country

  3. What a brave young woman. I can see the pain in her face and hear it in her voice. But it is important the her voice is heard. It is so easy for us westerners to think of all Russians as could soulless monsters. I know it will be a long time before Russia will be seen in a kinder light rightfully so. But it is important to know that even in Russia there are some good people.

  4. 美西方是阿拉伯慕斯林苦难制造者,一次又一次的侵略阿拉伯弱国伊拉克,利比亚,叙利亚,阿富汗,巴勒斯坦,黎巴嫩搞到当地人家破人亡难民流浪,美西方人权何在?

  5. Russia is not a superpower. It’s a country run by mafia. These gangsters use criminal means to exert power over those dissidents who flee. Ordinary Russian Criminals (ORCs) have to be stopped.

  6. You forgot that there's two sides to the story Pinocchio. 20 million Ukrainians have left Ukraine, and they had to implement Marshall law because probably they would be no Ukrainians left in Ukraine. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  7. Almost 10 million people have left Ukraine since the War began and "According to the U.S. State Department, about 9 million U.S. citizens live abroad"-forbes , so 650k pails in relation to these numbers. So what is your point BBC?

  8. This is bias and misinformationing of BBC! In Bharat we very good very loyal friend or Russia there are only few Russia people! We are most welcoming of Russians, we hate only Britishers and Germany and France and all EU. Jai Hind! Jai shree Putin!!

  9. There are people who refuse to critically look at "a dictatorial state that punishes the freedom of its citizens through law." They tend to avoid reality, and are likely people who are obsessed with reading paranoid, anti-social books or who have been brainwashed by cult ideology.
    And I would like to say in particular to the portion of Indians who are emotionally complicit with the invaders. The proof of true friendship is "sternly pointing out the wrong actions of a friend."

  10. Even those who live in Kursk haven't left why is the BBC lying, when one journalist runs they paint a group of people 😏. There's a US air force vet who is currently serving the Russian army in Ukraine why is it not in your news.

  11. Beware of all religions. Here are the words of the Lord God: “Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbour as yourself. I am the Lord.” – (at Leviticus 19: 18) – For God is our true Father in heaven and on earth. So never worship and pray in the way of the many false prophets who lead all religions.

    “But when you pray, go into a room by yourself, and shut the door. Pray to your Father who is there in the secret place; and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you openly.

    In your prayers do not go babbling on like the heathen, who imagine that the more they say the more likely they are to be heard. Do not imitate them. Your Father knows what your needs are before you ask him.

    This is how you should pray:

    Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,

    Your kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven,

    Give us today our daily bread,

    Forgive us the wrong we have done, as we have forgiven those who have wronged us.

    And do not bring us to the test, but save us from the evil one.

    For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever.

    Amen.

    For if you forgive others the wrongs they have done, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, then the wrongs you have done will not be forgiven by your Father.” – (The Prophet and Messiah Jesus of Nazareth at Matthew 6: 6-15) –

    “Pass no judgement, and you will not be judged. For as you judge others, so you will yourselves be judged, and whatever measure you deal out to others will be dealt back to you.” – (at Matthew 7: 1-2) –

    “In truth I tell you, if anyone obeys my teaching he shall never know what it is to die.” – (at John 8: 51) –

    “Always treat others as you would like them to treat you: that is the Law and the Prophets.

    Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it.” – (Matthew 7: 12-14) –

    “I am the gate; anyone who comes into the fold through me shall be safe. He shall go in and out and shall find pasturage.

    The thief comes only to steal, to kill, to destroy; I have come that men may have life, and may have it in all its fullness.” – (John 10: 9-10) –

    “Beware of false prophets, men who come to you dressed up as sheep while underneath they are savage wolves. You will recognize them by the fruits they bear.” – (Matthew 7: 15-16) –

    “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” – (Matthew 7: 21) –

    “I am the resurrection and I am life. If a man has faith in me, even though he dies, he shall come to life; and no one who is alive and has faith shall ever die.” – (John 11: 25-26) –

    “I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world” – (John 12: 47) –

    “Whoever then will acknowledge me before men, I will acknowledge him before my Father in heaven; and whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.” – (Matthew 10: 32-34) –

    “I am the way; I am the truth and I am life; no one comes to the Father except by me. If you knew me you would know my Father too.” – (John 14: 6-7) –

    “An expert in the law, [a leading religious Pharisee] tested him with this question: ‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?’ He answered, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind. That is the greatest commandment. It comes first. The second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself. Everything in the Law and the Prophets hangs on these two commandments.’” – (Matthew 22: 35-40) –

    “There is no greater love than this, that a man should lay down his life for his friends.” – (John 15: 13) –

    “Do not call any man on earth ‘father’ ; for you have one Father and he is in heaven. Nor must you be called ‘teacher’ ; you have one Teacher, the Messiah.’” – (Matthew 23: 9-10) –

    “Take care that no one misleads you: For many will come claiming my name…” – (Matthew 24: 4) –

    “Many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many; and as lawlessness spreads, men’s love for one another will grow cold. But the man who holds out to the end will be saved. ” – (Matthew 24: 11-13) –

    “Teach them to observe all that I have commanded you. And be assured, I am with you always, to the end of time.” – (Matthew 28: 20) –

    Yours, in true Spirit and in our one given prayer, 2gointruth, on Tuesday the 1st of October 2024: – (Please read Matthew 5: 14-16) – Where every minute (of both day and night) can be a new beginning for any one of us. Let it always be you. Pray to God often, as prescribed above, before it is too late.
