The head of Russia's Investigative Committee, Aleksandr Bastrykin, said on June 27 that nearly 10,000 migrant workers with Russian passports have been sent to the Kremlin's war in Ukraine.

Bastrykin described this movement as "a good feature that led to the situation when emigrants began to slowly leave Russia."

He added that the Russian Investigative Committee has "captured" more than 30,000 immigrants who have obtained Russian citizenship but failed to register at military offices, an obligation for men in Russia.

The government in Central Asia has warned its citizens living in Russia that they face charges of mercenarism in their home states if they join the war in Ukraine to fight for either side.

The Russian President, Vladimir Putin, - who started the invasion of Ukraine in 2022 - has said that there are currently 700,000 Russian troops on the war fronts in Ukraine. Some of them were recruited during the partial mobilization in the fall of 2022./ REL
