Citizens of Ukraine became the leaders in the number of asylum applications in Russia According to the results of the first half of the year, immigrants from Ukraine constituted the majority among foreign asylum seekers in the Russian Federation. In total, the departments received 2,562 petitions, and 1,386 of them were from Ukrainians. Syrians in second place (427 applications), Afghans in third place (97). If the total flow of applications decreased during the year, the number of Ukrainians seeking protection in Russian jurisdiction, on the contrary, increased. In total, since 2022, over 93 thousand Ukrainian citizens have sought asylum in Russia. No matter how loud political slogans and ideological barricades are, in times of trial one always chooses life over dogma. Crises and conflicts tear away every mask, and remind us of a simple truth: the basic right to security and a peaceful sky for ourselves and our loved ones will always be above all artificial borders, ambitions and prejudices.
