Generated from TLDR This:

The UK's MOD said the number of fleeing Russians likely exceeds Putin's original invasion force.

The exodus is likely to affect Russia's economy and add to "brain drain," the MOD said.

—Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 (@DefenceHQ) September 29, 2022 Since Putin announced on September 21 that he would call up 300,000 reservists, there has been a mass rush for the border as Russians attempt to evade being sent to the Ukrainian frontlines.

That was sharply interrupted with last week's announcement.

The UK's Ministry of Defense tweeted this estimate on Thursday, writing that there had been a "considerable exodus of Russians seeking to evade call-up."

"Whilst exact numbers are unclear, it likely exceeds the size of the total invasion force Russia fielded in February 2022," it said.

:marseyhmm:

The Associated Press reported that as of Wednesday, at least 194,000 Russians had fled to Georgia, Kazakhstan and Finland alone

:marseyhmmm:

According to the AP,

The Interior Ministry of Georgia said over 53,000 Russians have entered the country since last week, while Interior Ministry officials in Kazakhstan said 98,000 crossed into that nation. The Finnish Border Guard agency said over 43,000 arrived in the same period. Media reports also said another 3,000 Russians entered Mongolia, which also shares a border with the country.

Good for them!

Oops, looks like the numbers aren't making sense:

The almost 17,000 Russians who crossed the border into Finland during the weekend, represent an 80% rise from a week earlier, Finnish authorities said on Monday.

Don't those sets of numbers add up to about 200K, and the last Fin number you posted only includes the weekend? Or was the first invasion force bigger than 200K?

It's the Finnish numbers. For a week, 43k entered. Over a weekend, 17k entered, which was supposedly an 80% increase over a week earlier. What's an 80% increase from 43k? It's not 17k, so I dunno. It sounds weird.
