The cost of air tickets for the following dates in visa-free countries for Russian citizens increased tenfold after mobilization was announced in the aggressor country.
Russian media report this with reference to the TourDom portal and the Biletix company.
In particular, the cost of a flight to Tel Aviv (Israel) starts from 378 thousand rubles (about 6.3 thousand US dollars), to Dubai (UAE) - from 373 thousand rubles (about 6.2 thousand US dollars), to Astana ( Kazakhstan) - from 134 thousand rubles (about 2.24 thousand US dollars).
