Groups of Russians have sailed to South Korea in an attempt to avoid being conscripted for the war in Ukraine — only for most of them to be refused entry at the border.
After Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said 300,000 reservists would be called up, Russian men of fighting age haveto avoid the draft, with thousands pouring into neighboring countries such as Georgia, Mongolia and Kazakhstan, as well places farther afield like Turkey.
The two successful applicants had documents showing records of having previously been in South Korea. Another boat, a 17-ton yacht carrying 10 Russian nationals, entered Korean waters but did not dock in the country. The boat instead set sail for the east Russian port of Vladivostok on Oct. 5, but was forced to make a stopover on Ulleung Island due to adverse weather and dangerous sea conditions before finally departing South Korean waters on Tuesday.
