The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry made this statement during government hours in the State Duma, Orda reports, citing RBK.
We proceed from the fact that it is necessary to tighten control over behavior, but not to put up barriers, much less introduce a visa regime, he said.
At the same time, Russia has tightened migration restrictions.
In 2024, the State Duma adopted 14 laws tightening migration policy.
Starting April 1, migrant children in Russia will be required to pass a Russian language examination before school enrollment.
Parents whose children fail the test and don't attend language courses may face legal consequences, including possible deportation, according to Novaya Gazeta.
