Moscow is trying to prevent the exodus of civil servants through such actions, the report said.
The Federal Security Service (FSB) of the Russian Federation is restricting the exit of officials from the country to prevent their departure. About that expressed to UK intelligence, according to the British Ministry of Defense on Twitter on Wednesday, March 15.
Since the start of Russia’s major war against Ukraine, Russian civil servants have been subject to severe restrictions on travel abroad: some may have to surrender their passports to the FSB.
Employees close to the Kremlin are prohibited from traveling abroad on vacation.
The British department said it was an extension of measures taken during the Soviet era.
The restrictions themselves began to tighten after the annexation of Crimea in 2014. British intelligence officials believe the measures are meant to prevent increasingly disgruntled officers from defecting.
According to intelligence, there is a real possibility that as the militarization of the Russian Federation continues, travel restrictions will be tightened for an increasing number of public sector workers.
Remember, the Russian media wrote that in Russia foreign passports were taken from officials and employees of state-owned companies.
