Matviyenko on migrants: we are not fighting, but bringing order to the country
Measures against illegal immigration are not a fight, but merely measures to restore order in the country. This was reported by the Chairperson of the Federation Council Valentina Matviyenko.
"We are not fighting with anyone. We are restoring order in a country that should have been restored long ago. Especially in terms of illegal, unlawful migration," Matviyenko said at a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, broadcast on the website of the Federation Council. She also noted that these measures negatively affect countries whose citizens enter Russia illegally.
As part of the measures taken, Russia is working on a calm and civilized solution to the problem of illegal migration, but this requires a respectful and sensitive approach. Matviyenko emphasized that this is in line with the principles of behavior of sovereign states.
