Ukraine conflict: Leaving Russia for fear of the future

The threat of martial law in Russia - and possible military conscription for men of eligible age - has been circulating widely on social media around Russia. And people are leaving the country because of it. Business Matter's Fergus Nicoll managed to get through to a business owner from Sochi whom we'll call Dmitri. He's travelled to Israel, leaving his family behind, rather than face financial ruin and possible conscription back home.

"You could feel the doors closing - and they're closing really fast. I'm scared and I'm trying to find solutions."
