- abcd_f 4y agoThat's because there is no "independent russian media" anymore. The fact that flights were sold out are all over the news, including CNN, BBC and APNews, e.g. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-fleeing-mobilization-dbe01d0c9be45a8c479565501a2a8f32 https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-fleeing-mobilizati...
- yeputons 4y ago"sold out" != "ordered to stop selling tickets" by far.
- SyneRyder 4y agoA Reuters version of the sold-out-flights news story is here on Australia's ABC: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-21/flights-out-of-russia-sell-out-after-putin-orders-partial-call-/101464280 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-21/flights-out-of-russia... It included this paragraph: "Mr Putin's announcement, made in an early-morning television address on Wednesday, raised fears that some men of fighting age would not be allowed to leave Russia." EDIT: To be clear, the linked Reuters report did not say airlines had been told to stop selling tickets, just that above sentence speculating that it could happen. The Reuters report is 6 hours old at the time I am posting it here.
