A survey has found nearly half of Russians questioned said they felt fearful or anxious after hearing the Kremlin was drafting hundreds of thousands of soldiers to fight in Ukraine.

Following the announcement, thousands of draft-age men fled Russia.

More than 2,400 people have also been arrested at unsanctioned anti-war protests in more than 30 towns and cities, according to the OVD-Info organisation. Some were promptly given call-up papers – something the Kremlin said was perfectly legal. “In the course of this mobilisation, many questions are coming up and all mistakes must be corrected and prevented from happening in the future,” Putin said.

“For example, I’m thinking of fathers of many children, or people suffering from chronic diseases, or those who are already past conscription age.” Russian authorities have opened more military enlistment offices near Russia’s borders in an apparent effort to intercept some men of fighting age trying to flee the country.
