The Foreign Labor Migration Agency has issued a cautionary statement urging Uzbek citizens working in Russia to stay informed and exercise caution in light of recent military operations between Russia and Ukraine.
As reports circulate regarding military conflicts between the two countries, the agency emphasizes the importance of awareness and safety for Uzbeks currently residing in Russia. The advisory specifically discourages Uzbek citizens from venturing into areas directly affected by the Russia-Ukraine conflict for work purposes and strongly advises against participating in any military operations.
The agency's directive aligns with legal considerations, citing Article 154, paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code, which deems recruitment into the military service, security, police, military justice bodies, or similar foreign entities as punishable offenses. Offenders face the prospect of restricted liberty for a period ranging from 3 to 5 years or deprivation of liberty within the same timeframe.
This advisory comes amidst a backdrop of challenges reported by Uzbeks working in Russia, including issues related to the delivery of products. Some have encountered difficulties with online advertisements promising the transport of goods from one location to another for a considerable fee.
Earlier Daryo reported that former deputy and current Russian propagandist-official Zakhar Prilepin has stirred controversy with remarks on immigration and territorial expansion. Applauded by other Russian officials, his comments suggested an assertive stance toward the homelands of immigrants. Prilepin suggested a simple solution to potential migration-related conflicts: boost the Russian population. He asserted that a larger Russian population would mitigate issues associated with misbehavior, proposing the annexation of territories from which guest workers originate.
