Bastrykin said the authorities have begun to implement the provisions of Russian laws that require persons who have received citizenship to register with the military and, if necessary, take part in the special military operation. He added that about 10,000 of them have been sent to the special military operation zone in Ukraine.
Russia has a large number of workers from Central Asian nations. But the move requiring military registration and deployment has reportedly led migrants to begin leaving Russia.

Kremlin sends migrants to dig trenches in occupied parts of Ukraine
Russian authorities have been using foreigners who have obtained Russian citizenship to help fight the war in Ukraine, Aleksandr Bastrykin, head of the Russian Investigative Committee, said Thursday.
Moscow “located” more than 30,000 foreign migrants who recently received Russian citizenship but did not register for the military in Russia, Bastrykin said.
Russian law enforcement agencies have reportedly been raiding factories and enterprises all across Russia, searching for legal and illegal migrants. During each raid, they issue military draft notices to the migrants, according to reports.

When will they send Snowden to the war already?
I wonder how that will work out for their immigration, even as they're trying to support an overaged populace. Pretty hard to draw young foreign workers in when they're liable to being drafted into an active war for a country they don't care about.
