Putin beordrar styrkor att gå in i Ukraina - INVASION NU (2022-02-24)

Myndighetsanställda flyr Ryssland: ”Diskar inte ens kaffekopparna efter sig”
När den ryska mobiliseringen inleddes för fem veckor sedan fick många statligt anställda, bland annat it-specialister, löften om att undantas.

Något skriftligt löfte har fortfarande inte kommit – därför har en lång rad anställda i den federala regeringen och lokala myndigheter i Moskva flytt landet av rädsla för att bli inkallade, skriver oberoende Meduza med hänvisning till Verstka, en annan oberoende medieplattform.

Enligt en rad regeringskällor har så många som 20 till 30 procent av personalen lämnat vissa myndighetsavdelningar i Moskva.

'Like bats out of hell' Many of the draft evaders fleeing Russia for Central Asia have been government workers
In the five weeks since Russia's mobilization drive began, hundreds of thousands of draft-eligible people have fled the country. While the authorities have vowed to grant draft deferments for certain people such as select government officials and IT workers, these promises have not always been enough to keep people in those groups from getting conscripted. According to the independent media outlet Verstka, many government employees have decided not to take their chances: numerous people who work for both the Moscow city government and Russia's federal ministries have fled the country in recent weeks. The majority of them have been fired soon after leaving, but some have flown under the radar and remain on the payroll. In English, Meduza summaries Verstka's findings.
