Long queues have formed at Russia’s land borders as people try to escape President Putin’s mobilisation of reservist forces.
Flights out if the country are also said to be full, with tickets to the few countries that allow Russians visa-free travel selling at inflated prices.
Serbia is one of just a few countries to which Russians can travel without a visa.
Al Jazeera’s @Jonah Hull has this report from the capital, Belgrade.

you need MILLIONS out there not a few thousand. you have 122 million in th ecountry you need at least a couple million to protest. Ukraine in the 2013 protests had THOUSANDS, hordes o fpeople protesting. Not a couple hundred in little areas dotted around the landscape. The entire capital was bombarded and filled with people protesting. Thats what you need.
Has anyone ever noticed that the hats worn by top Russian military leaders is reminiscent of the pictures of saints and Jesus and angels? That halo above their heads? o_O (2:23)
Since when was the Far East in SERBIA???
Thank you for covering this story. I do have one bit of confusion…Russians in Serbia, but their signs are in English? Makes you wonder who their real targets are?
MUST READ = UN NY, ICC Hague Netherlands Only recognizes 4 Categories = War Crimes, Human Rights, Genocide ! Does Not Currently Recognize “Aggression” ! Idk Why. UN Reform is imminent, Likely if a state is deemed a terrorist, genocide, rights violator, it will be Stripped of veto power, but, can remain a simple “member” !! Lets Hope !! … I Surely Wish that Wars had “Great Referees” Like football/ Sports do !! A Painful LOL… rusky LIES when they “Fall Short” . Many, many times they have “wooden sculptured” jets and missiles. Painted them up, took video in heavy back light/ poor lighting, “And Said They Have Something BETTER Than the Free West”. Well, a painted wood sculpture Cannot FLY !!! Neither does putyn’s LIES Now !! GLAD puty will Never retire in his “Palace” !! Must Use Phraseology = “The Free West’s Support” , is Important !! Ukraine Sets the Base for ALL That Happens after this. Period. ww3 or what? Q is, will People CHOOSE Nukes, Dictators, Commy, War,… OR, will People Chose Freedom, Peace, and a Life ! ?? Your Choice World People, NOW IS The Moment People. Or, kiss your Freedom bye bye !! Support Ukraine/ YOUR Freedom!! Now is $millions, Tomorrow’s Price is $Trillions !! Your Choice people !! Check out NAFO = “N. Atlantic Fellow Org” !! Is a Counter Cyber Propaganda from cia usa, YOU Gotta See This Site, IS Awesome msg to rusky/ccp… !! Lucky there is even a “NO” Box !! Prison for no vote, state tv for yes vote!! Crazy…
I think Putin is the head feminist of Russia as he is sending all the Russian men to the butcherhouse and making Russia a women only nation.
Kurt Tucholsky said….Imagine that there is war and nobody goes there..haha…..Then the war will come 2 U….😎😎
Partial mobilization, nah there’s nothing partial about it, this is the beginning of the end for Putin
it’s a different story when the fight comes to you!
A ‘Personal body bag’ is a prerequisite for deployment and that should have conscripts asking themselves if they are soldiers are ‘Mere expendables’.
Iraq is a great place to start ovet!
Glory to Ukraine!
Life no country will fall into disrespect and when you think your leaders are worsted but you found out will much better then you live into your own country.
American
left lots of great equipment to start over in Afghanistan as well but little touchy on the church Christ thing
The Marxists and Communists in America should go to Russia and Enlist! It’s fair for them so they will stop complaining about capitalism and democracy they just complain and complain now they have the chance to fight for thier ideology eh. Leave now and go to Russia instead
COWARDS
It isnt cowardice to fight for a lost cause
Could be the ones who found Russia 🇷🇺 a safe heaven, and were hiding, migrants, and now Russia at war, wanna run, and they ran before, why would they wanna fight for motherland Russia,,!!.. they left mother land ?.. before to Russia to find ?? Well anyhow..locals who actually are from Russia would definitely be sitting there for them to leave and new ones to **.**..
This is what we called freedom and democracy because they are free to leave as will and freedom of speech so they can run away but in Ukraine they can’t go anyway.They will see later that if Russia get destroyed,you will never fine Russia to come back to call Russia
Close all those McDonald’s restaurant’s, well see what happens 🤔🤓
Losing war..losing countrymen…losing everythings they have….
Just shows that Russia don’t have military might to the extent that now they have to rope in ordinary citizens to fight the losing war
Don’t die for Nati Putin.
Your life is for yourself, and your family, not for Nati Russia, and Nati Putin.
Kosova must be carful here. Im sure mostly of them are soldiers sent by putin to start war in Kosova of course as serbian soldiers. But pretending to escape war. They did the same 2014 in donbas area where they colonized that area with russian people….
Putrd’s daleks, now is your time to shine.
Nice CHECK MATE BY RUSSIA GET rid of the enemy inside. US SHOOTING DO IT too see all the liberal run
My dear peoples@ bro @ Sister, u remembered now the value of LIFE.
How could u forget when the WAR STARTED???….
After getting all of U in TARGET, remembered the VALUE of LIFEE…..
If all of u took this action at 1st before war started. This situation wouldn’t came.
Just think how many LIVES lost in Ukraine 🇺🇦…
They just sent thousands, and they’re sending another thousands
I never knew Russians people were scared of war, what is happening to them😂. I guess westernisation is real😅
This is the awakening moment of the Russian people. Ukraine is an independent sovereign nation and never to be enslaved by another country. Slava Ukraine! Watching from California.
Люди в проблеме. Ни один простой русский не хочет войны с Украиной. Молитесь о мире.
after usa bombed and killed algezera Yugoslavia war there just as bad as NYT LIES very clever but same bs
For those that swallow stupid shows like these:
1. Where can they flee to? Did you realize that Russian flights are ban over whole of Europe?
2. Sanctions on Visa has been imposed for Russians. Furthermore, did you think they could get visa in 24 hours?
3. The mobilization is for reservist. Those that have served in the army and finished their contract are placed in reservist. Not any college students or those with no experience.
4. Long lines of cars …..where are they heading? All visas are banned by all EU and NATO nations!!!!
This is western propaganda….
War is unfortunate, but NAT0 left Russi@ no choice. And this is misleading. RESERVISTS were called up. That’s people who were trained & already agreed to fight. Why would they object now? Smells like fake news to me.
I’m not a Russian and i wanna serve Putin. Someone knows how to enlist in?
We need genuine man at this moment.
Verry sad only poor going to war🙄🙄🙄
0:09 – PUCK FUTIN
Get on the streets Russian’s! He can’t arrest all of you !🇺🇦🇩🇪
Peace and freedom for Ukraine forever! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇩🇪
Russian opposing war that their brothers are fighting for their future security… Are this guys mad or something??
Long live Russia
in europe they accept traitors so you are welcome there🤘
They didn’t protest when the war began in January.
They protest now for they have to go to the war.
They need to go to the streets and protest!! Vladimir Putin war criminal
Putin just technically confessed to his people that he lied. He invaded Ukraine (it is not a special military operations)…now it seems 60k (per US intel) Russian soldiers died hence Putin wants 300k more to be sent in Ukraine.
Hey serbians, maybe In 5 years you gonna have a referendum for annexation to URSS?
Why are the Russian police behaving brutally toward young Russians expressing their opposition to the war in Ukraine?
Путин и Русия извършват престъпление срещу човечеството с този фалшив и агресивен псевдоокупационен “Референдум”, наложен по време на война, който е жив фарс с шепа осакатени инвалиди и болни старци и в чужда държава. ..
Без мъжете повечето деца и 60-70% от хората…
Когато този прогонен от него наорд се върне, той явно ще има статут на гост и чужденец в собствения си дом.
ТОВА Е ПОРЕДНОТО ПРЕСТЪПЛЕНИЕ СРЕЩУ ЧОВЕЧЕСТВОТО И Е ДОКУМЕНТИРАНО ОТ САМАТА МОСКВА В ТОЗИ ЧАС!!!
САМИЯТ ЮДА СЛОЖИ ВЪЖЕТО НА ВРАТАТА СИ
Putin and Russia are committing a crime against humanity with this false and aggressive pseudo-occupation “Referendum” forced during war, which is a living farce with a handful of crippled disabled and sick old men in a foreign country as well. ..
Without men, most children and 60-70% of people…
When this naord he banished returns, he will clearly have the status of a guest and a foreigner in his own home.
THIS IS ANOTHER CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY AND IT IS DOCUMENTED BY MOSCOW ITSELF AT THIS HOUR!!!
JUDAS HIMSELF PUT THE ROPE ON HIS DOOR
Путин и Россия совершают преступление против человечества этой фальшивой и агрессивной псевдооккупационной «референдумкой», навязанной во время войны, которая является живым фарсом с кучкой искалеченных инвалидов и больных стариков в чужой стране. ..
Без мужчин большинство детей и 60-70% людей…
Когда этот наорд, которого он изгнал, вернется, он явно будет иметь статус гостя и иностранца в своем собственном доме.
ЭТО ОЧЕРЕДНОЕ ПРЕСТУПЛЕНИЕ ПРОТИВ ЧЕЛОВЕЧЕСТВА И ЭТО ДОКУМЕНТИРОВАНО САМОЙ МОСКВОЙ В ЭТОТ ЧАС!!!
ИУДА САМ ЗАКРЫЛ ВЕРЕВКУ НА ДВЕРЬ
Putin y Rusia están cometiendo un crimen contra la humanidad con este falso y agresivo “Referéndum” de seudoocupación forzado durante la guerra, que es una farsa viviente con un puñado de lisiados discapacitados y ancianos enfermos también en un país extranjero. ..
Sin hombres, la mayoría de los niños y el 60-70% de las personas…
Cuando este naord que desterró regrese, tendrá claramente el estatus de huésped y extranjero en su propia casa.
ESTO ES OTRO CRIMEN DE LESA HUMANIDAD Y ESTÁ DOCUMENTADO POR LA PROPIA MOSCÚ A ESTA HORA!!!
JUDAS MISMO PUSIO LA CUERDA A SU PUERTA.
“why don’t the presidents fight the war?, why do they always send the poor?”
~ System of a down (b.y.o.b)
They do well, hugs for those Russians who don’t want to go to war!
Марш из Србије у Њемачку и Енглеску!!
Time to remove the dictator Putin
It’s not only Russians who don’t want war, it’s people all over the world in general who don’t want war. It’s the governments pushing their agendas, who don’t respect human life, neither abroad, nor at home. So, it’s governments who have to change, not the people!!!
Brave brave Russians. Hope they can rid themselves of the filth at the top.
Not enough brave Russians apparently, they need to turn out by the thousands like Iran.
Putin is an international joke now. He likes to announce his moves. His mouth is fighting the war not the troops on the ground. He is just bluffing with nuclear weapons. Because if he really has any balls to use nuclear then he would not be sending in more troops to die. No one will die for Putin.
long hair dezertor hahahah why you want him in your team when you can have gopnik that gopstop them all
This could mean the beginning of the end of male disposability.
what do you mean by “the beginning of the end”
Soviet citizenry needs to accept that they are canon fodder and must willingly sacrifice themselves for Putin.
They were not protesting the killing of Ukrainian children and women, but now that they are being called to go fight they are protesting. Send them to the killing fields.
WW3 progressing nicely.
So u could be a baker bus driver factory worker . Next day in a hole with a machine gun lol crazy !!!!!!!
Let’s not be naive, many Russians still support Putin wherever they are, whether they are fleeing because of Putin or because they fear for their lives, both or could be other reasons…it’s not clear. There could be saboteurs, spies, terrorists… among them. And so many Russians men could raise tension in the population wherever they are. These men will be more useful protesting in their own country Russia… a future democracy?
As if only PUTIN and the police left in the entire Russia 😃😃😃, am sure even if is only 10 Russians that crosses the borders, aljazeera will still call it “Russians fleeing”.
NE TREBA I PATRIJARH PODUPIRATI BRATOUBILAČKO KRVOPROLIĆE,
SAMO ZATO JER TO ČINI PREDSJEDNIK NJEGOV.
PATRIJARH NAGOVARA LJUDE NA RAT I U TOM RATU KRŠĆANI TREBAJU UBIJATI KRŠĆANE JER TRAŽE VOLJU BOŽJU.
Putin why is this thing called a man not on the Ukrainian front? Is Putin hiding in a frilly dress?
No smoke without the fire. The West is involved in this war, they are sponsoring this war.
Go to VK then and get off West social media.
@Distinguished Netizen ? Western social media? What a childish response.
@VK RGFAN It’s an absolutely fair response. Many people like you are Putin lovers & apologists while enjoying the services from the West. If you were truly principled you would boycott services from the West, but you’re a hypocrite so here you are.
@VK RGFAN The main responsible for this war is dictator Putin and his fascist imperialist regime
It isn’t clear? “Russia without Putin”. It doesn’t get any clearer than that. Seems Al Jazeera is listening.
The protests in Iran are a clear example of hundreds of thousands standing up for what’s right. Russians should take inspiration from them so they develop courage. Right now only small protests in Russia and police are picking them up easily. It’s a very weak way of protesting.
In my opinion the best solution is : stop that useless war. It hurts everybody. Jesus doesn’t like that war.
Pooptin 💩 war
Let’s sanction him some more for what he is doing to the Russian people.
Support Russia
Support the military of Russia.
This is a proof that Russia is a country full of cowards.. they are running away like rats instead of staying and fight Putin regime and bring him down.

The ramifications of this war run much deeper than the impact it will cause to those directly involved in the conflict. It will reshape the world, as it is likely that other latent frictions between countries and territories will be activated as a consequence of the Russia-Ukraine situation. This war just opened an era of wars, small and large, between different peoples.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson recently said that this war could easily become “the biggest war in Europe since 1945”, and I agree. If countries with similar backgrounds cannot reach agreement between them, then how much more likely it is that several countries that have big differences and ancient conflicts may easily slip into war for no apparent justifiable reason.
On a personal level, it saddens me to see how fate turns around and once again we find ourselves at war. I am sorry and restless since I have many students in Russia and Ukraine who are under threat and feel how the deteriorating situation is affecting them and the whole world. In Israel, too, I have many students who follow with concern what is happening in Eastern Europe, anxious about the fate of their family members and friends.
My hope is that the manifestations of hatred between the Russians and the Ukrainians will stop soon, two peoples who have lived side by side throughout history. If it were still possible, I would give everything I could to silence, calm down, avoid the escalation, but this is impossible for now.
There is not much that we can do at this stage. We can only long for peace and a ceasefire, talk about all parties showing restraint. The parties in conflict could follow the example of the Native American tribes who buried their hostility in a ceremony during which previously warring tribes agreed to settle their differences and live in harmony, and sealed their agreement by the chief of each tribe burying a war hatchet in the ground.
Such a scenario does not look realistic under the current circumstances. Thus, above the forces of hostility, above the egoism and control as the driving forces of all the conflicts in the world, we can only raise a global prayer for peace, asking that we all get along with everyone. Because only in the power of connection and in the connection between our hearts, can a great positive force arise, a force that is able to unite all parties, to reconcile the haters, to awaken the truth in us all that we all belong to one soul. As it is written, “He who makes peace in His heights, may He make peace upon us…” (The Book of Job)
Not a drop in the ocean but a drop into a 4m cube of water. Approximately. That is not so bad.👨🔬
Nothing motivates people as much as being conscripted in an imperialist war of aggression, to fight in the name of a corrupt Mafiosi dictator’s fascist regime.
Especially when they have to fight in a region 9000 km away from their homes
funny though isn’t it they were all up for taking Ukraine untill they get called up now the RUSSIANS are showing what there really like
afraid
not like Ukraine at least they fought for there country
All of this is sad to say it’s just 1 man telling them what to do
don’t sniper bullets travel 2 or 3 mile now day or further
SLAVA UKARINA! 🇺🇦
Pretty pathetic demonstration. There would be more people in a Starbucks coffee shop waiting for their drink.
Putin is a strong man, he will never step down no matter how huge protesters come
Revolt against Putin is to fight back with anything including looted materials and guns like Romania under Ceausescu and Burma’s Ne Win. Putin is responsible for what is going on in the country.
This g
This men is a hirler demonio
All the Russian dissidents are true patriots and heroes! Glory to the people of Ukraine and Russia. Down with Dotard Puta.
By tomorrow as many Russian soldiers will have been killed in Ukraine in 8 months as the US lost in eight years in Viet Nam (58,220)

A child has more sense than this Russian madman
No degen que un loco idealista arranque de sus corazón a sus seres amados se están matador entre hermanos el pueblo superb al ejército tengan el valor de decirle no no ala gerra liberty ♥ love Libertad good bless ♥Russian ukrania people ♥together ♥ Libertad Libertad usa love Libertad ♥
So glad not all Russians are evil like the government and the Russian troops committing war crimes …
SOMETIMES, A COUNTRY’S LEADER, NUANCED FEELING OF IMAGINED MACHISMO AND MALE IMAGINED EGO BOOSTINGS….DESTROYS NOT ONLY HIS OWN COUNTRY, BUT ALSO OF THE WHOLE WORLD.
REAL INTELLIGENT INDEED.
Run draft dodgers, don’t ever go back , prison will be waiting for you in Russia. Run.
Eu, US involvement in this has made it so much worse.
Russian people no unity at all. They are millions of people why they cannot form a millions of people power on the road and protest against their president. Sad to see thousand of people killed in this war and now they mobilized even old russians they included on war. For the ego of their president.
Cynical and misanthropic as despotic communism always is. First a country in the ground with rockets, tanks and grenades, slaughtering children, abducting people and then a referendum nomination whether one would like to stay with the murderer, robber, looter or rather stay with the pistol in the back. This is the beast from the Kremlin and its executioners. It is no longer possible to degenerate humanly. Answer this beast with the glorious mercenaries of Ukraine.
This reminds me of the movie “Enemy at the Gates”…the young men were forced to fight..going in to the war with the enemies guns aimed at them…and behind them.. their own country men’s gun taking aim as well…really sad..
No to war, yet they still support the invade of ukraine 🤡
True blood Ukraine knows *nothing* has changed since ww2-
Eastern Bolsheviks & U.S. Plutocrats are *always* preying on others
Cowards
