Checkpoint.

This is coolbert:

Border crossing checkpoint Russia and Georgia overwhelmed with young men of military age fleeing conscription? Documents and conscription status being checked even as we speak? 

"Russia sends troops to Georgian border to 'set up checkpoint' as Kremlin denies plan to impose martial law and stop people from leaving after 260,000 fled Putin's draft in five days"

The article by CHRIS PLEASANCE FOR MAILONLINE  26 September 2022 | 

* "Russian troops were filmed arriving at border with Georgia Monday afternoon"  * "FSB said they were there to stop men storming the crossing amid huge queue"  * "But it comes amid rumors Putin is preparing to declare martial law and ban fighting-age men from leaving after 260,000 fled in just five days"  * "Kremlin denied that any conversations about closing border had taken place"

Border not closed but persons attempting to cross from that cohort of young men of military age being subjected to more rigorous questioning I would suspect.

"Russian troops have been deployed near the border with Georgia today even as the Kremlin tries to stamp out rumors that Putin is about to introduce martial law and ban people from leaving [Russia] in order to avoid being conscripted into the army." 

This seems to confirm my intuition is correct regarding opposition to the Russian limited mobilization. Persons who are Russian citizens but of Georgian and Armenian ethnicity decided to cross the border where they will be beyond the reach of Russian authorities.
