Putin squirms in his seat as Belarus dictator Lukashenko rants about men 'running away' from mobilisation in Russia

 Putin squirms in his seat as Belarus dictator Lukashenko rants about men 'running away' from mobilisation in Russia as huge traffic jams on Georgia border are captured in images from SPACE

• Belarusian president monologued and spouted rhetorical questions in his rant
• Putin sat silently, clearly uncomfortable, as he listened to his counterpart go on
• The call for mobilisation has proved wildly unpopular throughout Russia
• Hundreds of thousands have already fled the country amid widespread protests

• This is the moment an uncomfortable-looking Vladimir Putin squirmed in his seat as he was forced to endure a bizarre lecture on people fleeing his rule from fellow autocrat Alexander Lukashenko.

  The Belarusian president - who needed Putin's help to crush a pro-Western democratic movement in his country in 2020 - assured the Kremlin leader he would win his war in Ukraine, despite the growing unrest over his decision to mobilise 300,000 new troops.

  The Kremlin chief looked hunched and uncomfortable, saying little during the meeting in Sochi as Russians continue to protest his mobilisation edict or flee abroad to avoid being drafted.
