According to the country’s authorities, since the beginning of the Russian war against Ukraine, 83 Russians have sought asylum in the Netherlands.
Russian citizens who come to the Netherlands to avoid military service in the Russian army will “definitely not” be sent back. This was announced on Saturday, September 24, by the Secretary of State of the Kingdom, Eric Van der Burgh, writes RTL.
The publication also recalled that at the end of June, the Secretary of State of the Netherlands said that Russian conscripts who refuse to fight in Ukraine or desert will be allowed to stay in the country, at least until the end of 2022.

According to Van der Burgh, the issue of granting asylum to Russians who do not want to fight will be decided on a case-by-case basis.
“The main question is what happens when they are sent back: are they welcome or in danger?” – asked the officer.
The Dutch Immigration and Naturalization Service has not yet received applications from any Russian draft dodgers. According to the service, since the beginning of the war, 83 Russians have sought asylum in the Netherlands.
It will be recalled that after the mobilization announced by Putin, Russians began to flee the country. As a result, huge traffic jams formed on the border between Russia and Georgia at the Upper Lars checkpoint.
It should be noted that in response to Putin’s announcement of partial mobilization in the Russian Federation, Russians began to leave the country en masse, in particular, to Finland.
Peskov was surprised by the “hysterical” reaction of Russians to the mobilization
