"Colleagues from the Migration Department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Moscow have decided to terminate the citizenship of two men who failed to fulfill their obligations for military registration... As part of the decision taken, the violators were notified personally. This was reported on her Telegram channel by the official representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia Irina Volk.
