TBILISI, Nov 28 (Reuters) – A month after Russia said it had ended a recruitment drive for its war in Ukraine, men who fled to neighbouring Georgia to avoid the draft say they are in no rush to return home.
Russia announced the call-up on Sept. 21 after suffering setbacks on the battlefield – a move that prompted hundreds of thousands of draft-age men to head for the likes of Georgia, Armenia and Kazakhstan to avoid being sent to the front.
