a conflict that's been raging much longer than expected. yes, vladimir prudence leaders decree is not going unchallenged in russia. but the states crackdown is hard. nonetheless. i protest wandering groups as mass arrests have been made across the country, including in moscow. yes. well, i'm not afraid and not afraid of anything. the most valuable thing that they can take from us is the life of our children. i won't give them my child life found it wouldn't, has called the mobilization necessary in urgent. he accused the west of crossing a line by providing sophisticated weapons for you, grin her to novel. i'd like to remind you that our country also has various weapons of destruction and in certain aspects, even more modern weapons, the nato countries. if there's a threat to the territorial integrity of our country in order to protect russia and

our people, we will certainly use all the means at our disposal. this is not a bluff nationalist, but his is. the announcement has also triggered an apparent exodus of people unwilling to join the conflict. many of these russians arriving in serbia, still fearful of speaking in opposition to the wall. i asked me, it is you and i have a director because of my vermont and hope all is a seed and i didn't have problem in my thinking about a but i want to say i read on for you brain i. i wonder, please somebody is still pollution. the price is a one way flights from russia has been skyrocketing since bought in speech. and they're still selling out fast. of more on this, let sass fi to our moscow bureau chief erie was shadow. he's faced in riga,

latvian now after d. w was forced to leave russia. how you're a good to see you. so what are you hearing today about the descent and russia after president putin's column of reservists? the descent seems to be wide spread across russia and people absolutely nervous. it said that partial mobilization, it will affect 330-0000 reserve, is to which supposed to be just 1 point, one percent of the total number of those who can be called up. but the problem is that most in russia do not believe in partial mobilization and think that much more men will be cult up than announced. some are trying to leave the country, we just saw it in the report. a plane tickets have skyrocketed, orders, go to an advocate, and the 3rd will probably try to get fake certificates about an illness in order not to be called up. i've got many friends and russia who are now leading in great fear, even though they have never served in the army. yuri,

how is state media tracing the call up and how does their coverage of putin move public opinion? well, of course the russian state media leave no doubt that to the mobilization in russia is right and to necessary. oh, it's no wonder they absolutely aligned. a war is about dying at the front of a shadow to buy other specific warriors, such as what shall i do with my mortgage if i am called to up to my employer, officials officially, virus, me or will the reserve is to be treated financially the same way in the same way as a professional soldiers. of course, all of this distracts from the real question. will i survive at all or will i have to die at the front, like thousands or of other russian soldiers in recent months? but these questions have been not asked are on russian television so far, but on the streets where yesterday thousands of people, protested sir uri, we're seeing descent. we've seen arrests. we've even seen booked. i have flights on

which many russians seem to be, fling the country. is it likely that there will be any tangible impact on proven or the conduct of the war in ukraine as a result of all this? it's pablo difficult to say and if and how many russians are going to take to the streets in the next days or some experts say that to this mobilization is at the beginning over the end of pollutants. korea, because of the mood in the country can change completely. all of us on the other hand, the don't see any mess protests coming because people are totally intimidated. i think that the russians are just totally disoriented, disoriented to the war that seemed far away. somewhere beyond the board, us is now suddenly in the arrow own country and many who didn't want to know anything about as his so called special operation at many are now directly confronted with the war as for pollutants plans in ukraine. i think that a,

with this mobilization has clearly shown that he has no intention of changing his plans of ending this war. on the contrary, his obviously preparing the russians, the russian people for a long war. thank you. you re did abuse, erie re shadow in the last the and capital reagan. thank you. now to some other stories making headlines around the world. european union foreign policy chief, she sat barella says the e, you will impose more sanctions on russia. well spoke after emergency meeting of a you foreign ministers on the sidelines of the un general assembly. the decision comes in response to the crammed ends, order to mobilize to reserve troops for the war. a new crank. miss winey is government says it will assess every these application by russian citizens seeking to avoid military service. there are already exceptions for russians on humanitarian grounds. earlier neighboring latvia said,
