Moscow: Russian airlines have categorically refused to give tickets to people in the age group of 18 to 65 years. Airlines will not give tickets to these people in this age group unless they show permission to travel from the Ministry of Defense. Let us tell you that on Wednesday (September 21), Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a partial deployment of three lakh reserve troops. Subsequently, tickets for all Russian flights from Russia to foreign destinations were sold out.
Russian officials have informed that plans have been drawn up for partial deployment of 3,00,000 'reservists' (reserve soldiers). Putin called it necessary, saying that Russia was fighting "the whole Western military machinery". According to Russia's top travel planning website aviasales.ru, tickets for all September 21 flights from Moscow to Georgia, Turkey and Armenia, where Russian nationals do not require visas, were sold within minutes of Putin's announcement. By noon Moscow time, direct flights from Moscow to Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan also stopped appearing on the website.
Indeed, there has been a stir in Russia since Putin's announcement of the deployment of reserve troops. To stop people from fleeing the country, Russian airlines have refused to give tickets to people between the ages of 18 and 65 without the approval of the Defense Ministry. Putin, in a televised address to the country, warned the West that Russia would do everything possible to defend its region and that it was not "blatant rhetoric".
Russian President Vladimir Putin further said that he had signed that order and that the process would begin on Wednesday. A reservist is a person who is a member of the 'Military Reserve Force'. It is a civilian, who is given military training and can be posted anywhere if required. It does not provide services during peacetime. Putin said the expansion of the border line, the constant firing by Ukrainian forces along the Russian border, and the withdrawal of troops from the reserve were necessary for attacks on liberated areas.
