The number of Russian refugees in the West has always been small, and they were mostly residents of Chechnya, political activists or members of the LGBTQ+ community. In 2022, however, asylum requests from Russians more than doubled in the EU and increased almost 50-fold in the US, and most of them flee their country as they oppose the war, or they are deserters and potential soldiers seeking to avoid military enlistment.
Yes, unfortunately not all countries grant asylum I’m afraid.
@0x815 Yea. I’m following Roman (NFKRZ) on YT and he says that it is hard as hell to get asylum. And if you don’t get it from the first time, you’ll have even less chances further going.
