Russia Deports Multiple Undocumented Migrants, Including Afghan Nationals
Russian authorities have reportedly arrested and deported 15 undocumented migrants from the city of Pskov, according to local media.
The deported individuals were identified as citizens of Afghanistan, Kenya, Sri Lanka, and Kazakhstan, who were allegedly attempting to cross the border into Europe illegally.
Under Russian immigration laws, the deported individuals are banned from re-entering the country for the next five years.
Government statistics reveal that since the start of this year, security forces in Pskov have deported 520 foreign nationals, a figure nearly three times higher than during the same periods in 2022 and 2023.
Over the past three years, an increasing number of citizens from Central Asia and Afghanistan have used Russia as a transit point to reach Europe. Many of these individuals have been apprehended and subsequently returned to their home countries by Russian authorities.
