		</div><p>About 98,000 Russians have crossed into Kazakhstan in the week since President Vladimir Putin announced a partial mobilisation of reservists to fight in Ukraine, Kazakh officials said.</p>
<p>As men seeking to avoid the call-up continued to flee by land and air into neighbouring countries, Kazakhstan and Georgia – both part of the former Soviet Union – appeared to be the most popular destinations for those crossing by car, bicycle or on foot.</p>
<p>Those with visas for Finland or Norway have been arriving by land. Plane tickets abroad had sold out quickly despite high prices.</p>
<p>That fuelled fears of a much broader call-up, sending droves of men of all ages and backgrounds to airports and border crossings.</p>
<p>In announcing the number of Russians crossing the border, Kazakhstan interior minister Marat Akhmetzhanov said authorities will not send those who are avoiding the call-up back home, unless they are on an international wanted list for criminal charges.</p>
<p>President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev ordered his government to assist Russians entering his country “because of the current hopeless situation”.</p>
<p>“We must take care of them and ensure their safety. It is a political and a humanitarian issue,” he said.</p>
<p>“I tasked the government to take the necessary measures,” Mr Tokayev said, adding that Kazakhstan will hold talks with Russia on the situation.</p>
