The expulsion of Russian citizens from America and Europe is increasing. A BBC official statistics review shows that the expulsion process of Russian citizens from America and Europe is growing. After Russia's massive invasion of Ukraine in 2022, tens of thousands of Russians left for Western countries to escape political pressure, the possibility of being sent to war, and the growing isolation of their country, but in the last year more than a thousand of them were returned to Russia. Among these people are anti-government activists and deserters.

Some faced arrest, imprisonment, or forced military service. The number of people expelled from America grew by more than five percent between 2023 and 2025. Finland and Germany also saw a similar increase.
