In local news our national broadcaster and right wing rags have reported that most of these newcomers are from Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Somalia.

Here's also a link to a relevant news story from our national broadcaster YLE's english version, if you're interested to read more: https://yle.fi/a/74-20062259

Hmm interesting, thank you for the article. I wonder if this is more of a Russian trying to get rid of migrants of a mistrusted group and have a convention enemy to push them on to or a planned operation to draw them to Russia to use them as international political fodder.

[-] Kallioapina@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Perhaps both. There are also news reports that some of these migrants now stuck in Russia are being pressured by russian military authorities to sign contracts to go fight in Ukraine, in exchange getting Russian citizenship later. More cannon fodder to the grinder...

Migrants have always been a big part of Russia's workforce, and while the population's opinion on them varies (as it does everywhere), Russian government didn't show much hostility to migrants, and they are vital for Russian economy.

Getting rid of migrants is undermining Russia.

It’s just busses of migrants but Russia instead of a republican
