Thousands of men queue at Russia’s borders to avoid serving in Ukraine war

Heartbreaking scenes in Russia today, with hoards of men rushing to the nation’s borders to avoid fighting in the war

On Wednesday, President Vladimir Putin announced a partial military mobilisation, calling on 300,000 civilians to serve their country on the battlefield.

On Russia’s border with Georgia, footage shows miles-long queues of vehicles.

Witnesses estimate the queue of cars at the Upper Lars checkpoint now stretches for over 5 kilometres, with some saying it’s taking seven hours to get across the border.

Georgia is one of the few countries Russians can enter without a visa.

However, neighbouring Finland does require a visa, and while officials say queue times are also longer here, it’s currently at a manageable level.

It comes as a video circulating online shows a child crying while saying goodbye to their dad.

In Ukraine, Russia has lost momentum recently as Ukrainian forces recapture key areas.

Senate upholds vote to release Epstein files despite White House delay attempt; Trump signals intent to sign bill.

The White House tried to delay a vote on the release of Justice Department files connected to Jeffrey Epstein, even as former President Trump insisted there was nothing to hide.

Despite this, the Senate approved the measure exactly as it passed the House, ignoring amendments proposed by Trump’s aides. This move clears the path for the files to be made public in full.

Trump has indicated he intends to sign the bill, marking a significant shift after the White House’s attempt to block or delay the vote proved unsuccessful. The decision could have wide-reaching implications for transparency and ongoing investigations.
