Thousands of desperate young men are trying to escape Russia after
Vladamir Putin announced a plan to mobilize 300,000 reservists to
fight in Ukraine. His forces have recently suffered a string
of embarrassing military defeats. Some Russians are already seeking
to escape by crossing the long border into neighboring
Finland. On the margins of the United Nations General Assembly
in New York, we sat down with Finnish Ambassador Elina Kalkku to
discuss the recent influx of Russians frantically trying to
avoid Putin's plans for them to fight in Ukraine. She takes us into
her country's complex relationship with Moscow and how they are
coping with the constant threat of an imminent Russian attack,
especially following President Putin's recent threat to launch
nuclear weapons.
