Russians are reportedly leaving the country after an attack on Moscow involving large numbers of drones, with some accounts describing growing fear of renewed military action. The Daily Express and the Mirror both report that people are departing amid concerns about possible mobilisation measures.
Both outlets link the exodus to worries about restrictions on leaving and changes that could affect travel and residency. The Mirror adds that this flight occurs despite Vladimir Putin’s election win, framing the movement as continuing politically regardless of the result. Neither outlet provides independent confirmation of official policy changes in its summary, and details of the scale of the departures and the specific legal mechanisms driving them are not consistent across the two reports.
Overall, the outlets agree on the basic sequence: an attack on Moscow occurs, and then reports emerge of Russians leaving in fear of mobilisation or departure restrictions. They differ mainly in emphasis, with one focusing on fear after the attack and the other highlighting the timing relative to the election outcome.
