Moscow, March 21, 2025: Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered Ukrainians residing in Russia to legalize their immigration status by September 10 or leave the country. Authorities have warned that failure to comply could result in deportation or other legal actions.
The directive has sparked criticism from international human rights groups, who argue it endangers displaced Ukrainians. Ukrainian officials have also condemned the move, calling it an attempt to pressure their citizens living in Russia.
