Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the creation of an intergovernmental commission to implement temporary restrictive measures against political exiles. The decree was published on Russia's official legal information portal.
The commission is composed of representatives from various Russian government bodies, including the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Interior, the Federal Tax Service, the Federal Security Service and the Federal Security Service. The full composition of the commission was not fully specified in the document.
These measures come in the context of increasing repression in Russia against critical voices and dissidents. Many Russians who oppose the regime or who fled the country after the beginning of the war in Ukraine have been targets of criticism by Russian authorities.
