Russians who fled the country to side with Ukraine should be charged with treason and sent to work in mines in parts of Russia where there is “no summer” if they return home, the chairman of Russia’s parliament said on Wednesday
Ednews reports citing The Telegraph that, Russia’s war in Ukraine, which it calls a “special military operation”, and a subsequent mobilisation campaign, prompted several hundred thousand Russians to leave their homeland, though it is unclear exactly how many.
Moscow has tried to encourage some specialists, such as IT workers, to return and says some Russians have come back.
