A rare address by the Russian president was abruptly rescheduled amid concerns of a mobilization and referendums in Ukraine.
The phrase"how to leave Russia" surged in Google searches on Tuesday ahead of Putin's much-anticipated speech, pointed out by the Mozhem Obyasnit Telegram. Putin's rare national speech was abruptly rescheduled for Wednesday, as the Kremlin has signaled it'll respond to losses in Ukraine with more aggressive approaches that could affect ordinary Russians.
Mozhem Obyasnit, founded by Russian dissidents and means"We Can Explain," found that Google queries about how to leave the country reached a peak at 6 p.m. Moscow time after seeing a sharp increase earlier Tuesday. Residents of the Khabarovsk Territory, in Russia's far east bordering China, were particularly interested in leaving, according to the channel.
Russian President Vladimir Putin speaks Tuesday during a meeting on the military-industrial complex at the Kremlin in Moscow. Putin's rare national address was pushed back to Wednesday amid concerns of a mobilization and referendums in Ukraine.
