This is not true, we (Russians) can leave country by any means, just most Russian companies won't fly their jets abroad as they might be arrested (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/3/5/aeroflot-halting-all...). Foreign companies fly just fine.

first there were warnings, that with the latest escalations, borders will be officially closed: https://news-ycombinator-com.translate.goog/item?id=30542063...

then there came various confirmations lately by IT people that they could not buy tickets (eg to Dubai or Egypt) anymore, and had to leave via Georgia on the landline.
