And that means that it's going to be very easy for western governments to start deporting them back to Ukraine. Given that there are a lot of political tensions in Europe over the issue, it's going to be a really easy choice once Ukraine starts trying to recall these people.
Accepting these people would be a really smart move on the part of Russia. It would show that Russia is fighting the regime in Ukraine as opposed to the people, and it would be incredibly demoralizing for people who got conscripted into Ukrainian army.
Yeah it would be an absolute PR coup for Russia. It would almost certainly turn into more surrenders and defections from Ukrainian units once word filters down to the front about how family members of Ukrainian conscripts have been settled in Russia and the feral orks aren't eating their skulls or whatever.
Which is why it won't be done lmao. Russian government is pretty shit at this kind of PR. Plus there would be a concern over SBU fucks sneaking in, AFAIK already were cases.
Plus, given how Russian government treats Russian "immigrants" from former republics (as in, Russian nationals who were living in USSR and wanted to "repatriate" after 1991). Let's just say I wouldn't get my hopes up
The solution, like it is to a lot of problems, is to export to China.
China has a massive security apparatus that frankly has been underused ever since they eviscerated CIA presence in the country.
Also, China could use some young people to even out the demographics a bit, particularly young people who haven't been culturally conditioned to not have too many children.
Exporting people from a completely different cultural background, with no knowledge of the local language, to somewhere that already has intense population density? Not sure it's a good idea, chief
