Germany confirmed its readiness to receive those fleeing the Russian army, according to two ministers, amidst reports of many people leaving to escape the partial mobilization announced by President Vladimir Putin.

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said, according to excerpts from an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, that "those fleeing the army threatened with repression can receive international protection in Germany."

For his part, Justice Minister Marco Buschmann wrote in a tweet accompanied by the hashtag "partial mobilization" that "many people apparently are leaving their homeland... Everyone who hates Putin's path and loves liberal democracy is welcome in Germany."

On the other hand, the Czech Foreign Minister announced that his country will not issue humanitarian visas to Russians fleeing their country to avoid Russian mobilization.

Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský said in a statement received by AFP, "I understand that Russians are fleeing Putin's increasingly desperate decisions," according to his expression.

Lipavský added, whose country is holding the rotating presidency of the European Union, "But those fleeing their country because they do not want to fulfill a duty imposed by their state do not meet the criteria for obtaining a humanitarian visa."
