Russia's attacks against Ukraine continue on the 216th day. Even though the army is fighting, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a week ago that, if necessary, Russian citizens should be recruited into the army and sent to the war front of Ukraine. Russia has a law that states that the government can send any number of citizens into the war if there is a shortage of troops during the war. But the government will re-enlist people with some war experience. Citizens are scared after this order. Since they don't want that, they are leaving Russia. Citizens also say we do not want to fight against Ukraine in this endless war. That is why they are reaching Georgia with their cars and other vehicles. Putin's close businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin said citizens are afraid to join the army. Putin's attack on Ukraine was against the people's will. A soldier in Siberia died after being shot. He had recently joined the army. After that incident, people are afraid to join the army.
