BBC World Service - Newsday, Russians scramble for flights out amid military call-up

The prices of tickets for remaining connections out of Russia have skyrocketed

Fears are growing that Russia’s borders could soon close or that a broader call-up may be announced

Large numbers of Russians are rushing to book one-way tickets out of the country after President Vladimir Putin announced a partial mobilisation of military reservists for the war in Ukraine.

In an address to the UN General Assembly, the President Volodymyr Zelensky, has said Russia must face just punishment for its aggression.

And nine people are now reported to have been killed at protests in Iran sparked by the death of a woman detained for allegedly breaking strict hijab rules.
