Migrants who have received Russian citizenship should be stripped of their citizenship if they refuse to participate in the Ukrainian war

As long as the special military operation continues, I think they should be involved in the special military operation. If a citizen of the Russian Federation does not fulfill his military duty, he should be deprived of his citizenship," said Alexander Bastrykin, chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation. In January of this year, the head of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation spoke about sending the representatives of the Central Asian and Caucasian countries to the war. The official claimed that foreigners are using the opportunities of Russian citizenship while avoiding military service. "In the last 5 years, more than one million people from the countries of Central Asia and the Caucasus, including 550 thousand people from Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, received citizenship. In particular, in the first half of 2022, more than 60,000 adult citizens of these countries became Russian citizens. "(Citizenship) not only provides rights, but also provides constitutional obligations to protect the receiving country," said the head of the Investigative Committee. In recent times, it is said that the number of migrant workers living in Russia without receiving Russian citizenship is increasing and is being sent to the war in Ukraine in various ways. According to the report of the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain, the Russian government is trying to persuade labor migrants from Central Asian countries to participate in the Ukrainian war. In return for voluntarily going to death row, a monthly salary of $4,160, as well as Russian citizenship, is promised. Earlier, the BBC reported that at least 93 Central Asian citizens, including 34 Uzbeks, had died on the battlefield since the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Source: khabar.uz
