At the St. Petersburg International Legal Forum held on June 27, 2024, the head of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin, revealed that the Russian authorities had identified 30,000 migrants who had recently received Russian citizenship and were not registered for military service.
According to him, 10,000 of them have already been sent to Ukraine to perform non-military tasks, such as digging trenches, in the rear areas. According to Russian media reports, this is part of a broader campaign to recruit migrants, particularly from Central Asia, into the army in exchange for citizenship or as a means of avoiding trumped-up charges, demonstrating an attempt by Russian law enforcement to minimize resistance among more influential segments of the population.
