'Our families need it': Russian soldiers demand pay after mobilisation order

Mobilised soldiers from the Omsk region in Russia have recorded a video to say funds they have been given are not enough.

Putin has since made televised comments to say he has signed a decree to make 'corrections' to the mobilisation order after thousands of Russians tried to flee the country.

The Russian president said the updated decree would defer conscription for additional categories of students, including certain postgraduate students and those enrolled at accredited private universities.
