Russians leaving their country for Finland - BBC

[L. Coyote]

Some Russian people are anxious to get out of the country because there has been a persistent rumour that President Vladimir Putin's government might soon introduce martial law to deal with demonstrations against the invasion of Ukraine.

With flights to Europe halted, the only way out of the country is by car - crossing this border - or by train.
