Covert Measures Against Men Of Draft Age Have Begun In Russia

Additional non-standard checks are being implemented.

The "Atesh" partisan movement has reported new signs pointing to the start of a new large-scale wave of mobilization in the Russian Federation. This time, it involves covert monitoring of men of draft age leaving Russia.

According to the movement, additional, non-standard checks are allegedly being conducted at airports in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Yekaterinburg.

According to “Atesh,” men with valid documents may be subjected to additional checks, which allegedly causes some passengers to miss their flights. However, they are not officially barred from leaving the country.

According to the movement, border control officers may cite standard procedures: checking documents, clarifying the purpose of the trip, or verifying data against databases. After check-in is complete, passengers are allegedly given their documents back and asked to leave the airport without an official decision prohibiting their departure.

“Atesh” also claims that the authorities are allegedly trying to conduct such checks selectively so as not to cause widespread discontent or provoke a rise in panic amid talk of a possible new mobilization.
