Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst More than a quarter million Russians in military age have fled the country. That is a big number even for a country as huge as Russia. Things are not working well in that society, and many don't want to die for oligarchs or for antiquated dogmas of nationalism. If the conflict spreads to the rest of Europe, how are young Europeans going to react? Why conflicts should happen again in this part of the world already tired of centuries of strife? And what to do with all these "no refugees" which probably increase in the near future? Worrying situation.
