Russian border area.
A 16-kilometer long line of vehicles heading to neighboring Georgia was captured in satellite imagery.
After Putin announced the partial military mobilization order, Russians flocked to avoid conscription.
After the escape procession drew attention from foreign media, Russian authorities eventually began to restrict the passage of vehicles.
The head of the Autonomous Republic of North Ossetia in Russia, which is adjacent to Georgia, said on social media that "we have ordered to restrict the entry of vehicles into North Ossetia, and at the same time have issued a warning to the region."
It is reported that the number of Russians who have fled abroad for four days from the 21st is 260,000.
Despite the authorities' denials, the possibility of border closures or martial law in Russia to prevent the escape of its citizens is constantly being raised.
In this regard, the US embassy in Russia posted a security alert on its website, advising Americans living or traveling in Russia to "leave Russia immediately."
The U.S. authorities' actions are believed to be aimed at avoiding arrests for U.S. travelers or U.S. citizens with dual citizenship for being drafted or for engaging in anti-mobilization protests.
