The unstable situation in Ukraine has forced thousands to flee Ukraine and seek refuge on the territory of the Russian Federation. Someone escapes with their relatives, and some of them have to begin life in a foreign country with a clean slate. Usually, for such people there are just 4 scenarios that depend on what status they decide to adopt in Russia.

The first 2 options – to obtain the status of refugee or forced migrant. Between these two concepts there is a difference. The most important difference is that the forced migrant status can only obtain those who have the citizenship of the Russian Federation. A third option is to ask for temporary shelter – this option is suitable for those who are considering Russia only as a "transit" point. The fourth option is to declare the desire to receive Russian citizenship. The last option it is also possible for refugees to decide that in the near future, they should not return to their homeland.

  1. Even when refugee status is present, it is only a temporary benefit limited to three years, after which it must be extended on an annual basis. Opponents of the law suggest that the process in and of itself is difficult to manage. Once a determination is made, the refugee should be free to live like all other residents of the country.
