In Russia, restrictions on foreign travel for public sector workers may be further tightened.
Russia is introducing increasingly strict restrictions on the travel of civil servants abroad, reminiscent of the bans of the USSR. Since the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian civil servants and employees have been subject to increasingly strict restrictions on travel abroad. Some officials were probably deprived of their passports by the FSB.
This is stated in the daily report of the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain.
The employees of the central authorities are also facing more and more strict restrictions. In particular, Kremlin officials are prohibited from all foreign vacation trips. Similar measures date back to Soviet times. And travel restrictions were tightened after the occupation of Crimea by the Russian Federation in 2014.
«Probably, such steps are aimed at preventing the flight or desertion of increasingly disaffected officials. It is quite realistic that as Russia’s isolation from the world increases, travel restrictions will be tightened for an increasing number of public sector workers,» it says. messages
