flag Russia passes law granting immunity and fast citizenship to foreign and stateless fighters in its military since 2022.

flag Russia has passed a law shielding foreign and stateless fighters who served in its military from extradition and prosecution abroad, effective immediately. flag The law, signed by President Putin, applies to those who signed contracts with Russia’s armed forces since November 2022, including stateless persons since July 2024. flag It offers a fast-track path to citizenship, waiving language and residency requirements. flag While Russia only confirms North Korean troops, estimates suggest thousands from countries including Cuba, India, Nepal, and African and post-Soviet states have joined, lured by pay and citizenship promises. flag The move supports Russia’s ongoing war effort amid domestic recruitment challenges.
