RUSSIA REVEALS EXEMPTIONS AS MEN FLEE CALL-UP

Russia’s defence ministry has revealed a host of occupations that will be exempted from conscription aimed at boosting its war effort in Ukraine.

IT workers, bankers and journalists working for state media will escape the “partial mobilisation” announced by President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday.

Around 300,000 citizens face being called up as part of the drive.

The move has prompted a rush towards borders as young men attempt to flee to evade the draft.
