  1. Anything else would mean all male russians would get asylum should they want to.

  2. It has to be a bigger threat against yourself as an individual to get political asylum than fleeing from mobilization. If he had be granted asylum, there would be many more trying to do the same. Correct decision.

    Correct me if i’m wrong, but isn’t it illegal to deport people into countries that are active war zones?

    That is to say, sucks to be the attacking country 🙂

    I’m torn. On the other hand, Norway does not have the capacity to accept every Russian male who wants asylum, and there are also security risks to consider.

    On the other hand, fleeing from mandatory conscription into an unjust war where you are likely to be injured or killed seems to me a very valid reason to claim asylum. I can’t help but to empathize.

    It’s really funny that you expected another decision. Lol.

  6. It’s sad because of course most people have nothing to do with these politics and just want to be safe and live a normal life.. but the situation is a little tense to say the least, and most likely matter of national security..

  7. Zero sympathy. Russia and russians can fuck right off until they are ready to act like adults on the international scene. Remove your dictators from power and be better.

    No EU state should ever accept asylum from russians, despite the innocent people who’d be affected by that. Russian propaganda is ever increasing in EU states + EU condidate states such as Republic of Moldova, which is the target for a massive Russian propaganda right now considering their EU referendum in October.

    We don’t need Russians coming to EU just because they don’t want war, because we know damn well not only the innocent people who want peace will use this asylum, but it’ll be an open gate for Russian spies and agitators.

    We would have ended up with a quarter million Russians, at least. They’d make a mess out of social services and cause widespread unemployment(except for Vinmonopolet who would have to hire more workers… )

    Also, Putler would claim that because that a ‘large group of people in Norway have Russian ancestry and speak Russian’ that he would have to send the army to protect them and make Norway a part of Russia. (Maybe not, but only because Norway is a member of NATO. Any country with borders to Russia, and not a NATO member, though… )

    Biggest problem is most russians claim to be political neutral, what created this shit.

  11. Maybe China or North Korea will take them? I have nothing against the average Russian but I feel this is simply not our problem. If they dont like their government its the citizen’s job to get rid of them.

    I disagree with most in this comment section. If you want to not fight against Ukraine, you should be able to flee to another country and seek asylum.

    I also see the conundrum, many ‘spies’ or bad actors would do this to come in and try to destablize us from inside.
    Still, I’d rather have non-combatant russians in Norway than combatant russians in Ukraine.

  13. > The UDI said that it had decided that none of the criteria applied to Suetin, adding that there was currently no mobilisation in Russia, citing statements made by Vladimir Putin and former Russian Defence Minister Sergey Shoigu pronouncing an end to mobilisation in October 2022.

    So, only because there is currently not a mobilization? What happens when there is a mobilization?
