A growing wave of Russians is fleeing the country this summer, driven by panic over potential military mobilization, crippling internet restrictions, and a worsening fuel crisis.

Support groups helping expats report an eightfold surge in requests since mid-July, as citizens scramble to cross borders into neighboring nations like Georgia. Fleeing Russians describe a suffocating climate of fear and unpredictability, with one migrant noting, "You never know what will happen tomorrow."

While smaller than the 2022 exodus, this latest flight underscores mounting desperation as domestic pressures tighten.
