Russia is conducting its largest military recruitment drive since World War II. President Vladimir Putin's decision to mobilize was followed by protests and arrests in 38 Russian cities and great interest among citizens to leave Russia.

Fearful of being called up to fight in Ukraine, large numbers of Russians rushed to book one-way tickets to flee the country.

The panic followed President Vladimir Putin's decision to partially mobilize reservists for the war in Ukraine, Russia's first since World War II.

300 thousand recruits are expected to join the Russian army. Immediately after the decision, citizens started receiving calls, said a human rights lawyer.

Protests broke out in 38 Russian cities while the police arrested about 1,400 people.

Airline ticket prices peaked. Citizens fear that Moscow may stop flights abroad.

Data from the Google platform shows an increase in searches for "Aviasales", the most popular Russian site for booking travel tickets.

"Air Serbia", the only European company apart from the Turkish "Turkish Airlines" that carries out trips from Russia despite the embargo imposed by the European Union, quickly sold tickets for the next few days, while the prices for flights from Moscow to Istanbul, or Dubai have reached up to over 9 thousand dollars, for a one-way economy class ticket.

"Every normal person is worried. War is terrible. It's normal to be afraid of war and death," said Sergey, a Russian who fled to Belgrade.

Russians can enter Serbia without a visa. Belgrade has not joined Western sanctions against Moscow to condemn Russian aggression against Ukraine.

Meanwhile, more than 100 Russian passengers arrived in Istanbul on Thursday. One of them said that the Kremlin's decision prompted him to leave the country.

"Partial mobilization is one of the reasons why I am here. A wrong decision that could cause problems for many Russian citizens", said Alexi.

He traveled alone with a carry-on bag on an early Turkish Airlines flight.

"I am worried. I did not believe that the next step will be mobilization, and I think that not many Russians want to fight, mobilize and go to the army," he said.

Another Russian citizen arrived in Turkey with his wife and daughter.

"The mobilization was inevitable because there were shortages in people. I am not worried because I am 59 years old while my son lives abroad", said Vasiliy.

The Kremlin declined to comment on whether borders will be closed to those subject to the mobilization order, while asking residents to be patient until the law is clarified.

The Russian Defense Minister said that the army is calling for experienced people and specialists.

But there is little clarity about who falls into these categories. People with medical skills appear to be most in demand as a large number of doctors in Moscow have received mobilization orders.
