Since Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a partial mobilization order last week, there have been continuous departures of nationals, many of them by land to other countries, and more than 190,000 Russians to Kazakhstan, Georgia and Finland.
Kazakhstan has the largest share with 98,000 people, followed by Georgia with about 53,000 people, Finland with about 43,000 people and Mongolia with about 3,000 people. According to reports, the Chelong on the Russian border with Georgia was 15 kilometers long on Tuesday (26th). The Russian Defense Ministry said it would not ask the countries concerned to repatriate. Putin said on Tuesday that farmers would be drafted into the army.
In addition, U.S. officials revealed on Tuesday that the U.S. is ready to provide Ukraine with another $1.1 billion (about 8.5 billion Hong Kong dollars) in military aid. The aid is said to include High Mobility Multiple Rocket System (HIMARS) and munitions, anti-drone systems and radar systems, training and technical support.
