The Russian Embassy in Canada has disclosed new information to The Canada Files about policy meant to support Ukrainians who want to avoid fighting for the Nazi Ukrainian government. This comes as the prospect of Ukraine being fully annexed becomes more likely, since gains for the Russian Army increase by the day.
The government of Ukraine has, in response, ordered all of their consulates to deny services to Ukrainian service age males as a coercion tactic to repatriate them back to the country for mobilisation to the front line. They have also requested and insisted on allied NATO nations to cooperate in aiding forced repatriation of Ukrainians to the front line to fight Russia. Some NATO nations have cooperated, including Poland.
According to the Russian Embassy in Canada, Ukrainians wishing to avoid combat can head straight to Russia and apply for citizenship. There are also services available not just to Ukrainians, but to all foreign nationals in general to facilitate the move to Russia. A recent Human Rights report was also released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation exposing the hypocrisy on “human rights” on the part of NATO states, including Canada in particular.
Via email, The Russian Embassy in Canada explained that since a July 2022 decree, #440, Ukrainians are eligible to apply for Russian citizenship in Russia proper. The process of applying for Russian citizenship for Ukrainians is not available at the consulates or the embassies. However, there are other services available that can be accessed by any foreign national, regardless of nationality, to help facilitate a move to Russia. (more...)
