Russia is persecuting migrants en masse to mobilize them for war in Ukraine, says British intelligence

by Nazar Bogudan

British intelligence assessed the Russian legislation on military registration for new citizens and analyzed its impact on the war.

Russia is massively persecuting migrants for mobilization for the war in Ukraine, &mdas > </p> <p>Russian legislation on depriving acquired citizenship due to evasion of military registration will not have a significant impact on mobilization in Russia, the British Ministry of Defense intelligence explains.</p> <p>British intelligence officers note that at the end of July the State Duma of the Russian Federation approved a bill providing for the deprivation of citizenship. naturalized citizens, unless they register with the military. The co-author of the bill was Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin, which, according to British intelligence, “indicates the Kremlin’s approval.”</p> <p>Once the relevant law is signed, the practical implications for recruitment into the Russian army are likely to be limited, although independent Russian media continue to report that law enforcement agencies are targeting migrant communities, including for the purpose of generating recruits, and this law provides another form of legal coercion in this regard.</p> <p>Also, UK intelligence believes that this law should be considered in the context of increasing anti-migrant sentiments that are being fuelled by some members of the Russian government. Especially when it comes to people from Central Asia.</p> <p>“These sentiments and rhetoric have increased markedly since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, likely as part of an attempt to establish additional sources of government legitimacy in the face of high casualty rates and declining living standards,” the department noted.</p> <ul> <li>Bloomberg previously reported that Russia is preparing to bring in more contract soldiers to avoid, at least for now, another mass conscription that could undermine support for the war among the Russian population.</li> </ul> <p><!--noindex--></p> <p><a rel=lb.ua
