Well those who have left are effectively stranded where they are, unless they want to return. If you left as mobilisation was announced and you're in Georgia or Armenia right now you likely do not have permanent residency - many applied and few got it. So you have a temporary visa on which the clock is ticking. If you want to go to the UK or Germany you'd have to return and apply for a suitable visa in the embassy in Russia. One good change in this specific case would involve permitting Russian citizens to apply abroad - at the UK embassy in Yerevan or Tbilisi (or wherever). And those who haven't left, I'm sure there are ways they can be assisted too that we should also do. I'm not sure why "let's help this group" keeps getting interpreted as "let's punish this other group" :-/
