As Russia begins a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, discussions continue in the European Union about whether to keep Russians in.
The Norwegian Immigration Authority has suspended the consideration of nearly 300 Russian citizens’ applications for asylum. They intend to develop a separate method for them. On Thursday, October 20, TV2 reports.
The Norwegian Immigration Office reported that by the end of September, 244 Russians had arrived in the country for asylum, and several dozen more – in particular those avoiding mobilization – did so later.

Norway has decided not to grant asylum to Russians and wait until the European Union agrees on a common policy in this direction.
“We hope for cooperation with the EU and we want to see how it is in the rest of Europe,” – explained the representative of the department Wenche Fone.
He emphasized that avoiding military service in itself is not a basis for asylum in Norway, but there are exceptions to the rule – for example, if it means that a person cannot be involved in war crimes or crimes against humanity.
It should be noted that in recent weeks in Norway there have been several arrests of Russian citizens who took suspicious photos, including from drones. It has been unofficially reported that one of those detained may be the son of a close associate of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
