Russian Family Denied Asylum in Finland, Fear Reprisals for Pro-Ukraine Activism

A Russian family denied asylum in Finland says they fear reprisals after pro-Ukraine activism. Reporting describes the family supporting Ukrainian refugees and helping with humanitarian efforts while in Finland, alongside political expressions of opposition to Russia’s war. After asylum decisions went against them, deportation procedures advanced, leaving them to await removal despite their claims of risk on return. They say their activities could expose them to serious criminal charges in Russia, including treason-related accusations.
