Russia has granted citizenship to 3,344 foreigners since the start of the year under a decree by President Vladimir Putin that allows passports to be issued to participants in the invasion of Ukraine and their family members.
In parallel, Russia has implemented laws allowing for the revocation of citizenship from naturalized citizens who refuse military service registration.
Volk said earlier that 1,117 such naturalized Russians lost their citizenship in the first eight months of 2024.
