A Russian mother and son who fled Moscow in 2022 and became vocal supporters of Ukraine face deportation from Finland after being denied asylum twice by the Finnish immigration service (Maahanmuuttovirasto), which determined they face "no real risk" upon returning to Russia. Nikita Belov, 25, and his mother Olga, 55, say they will face immediate arrest and torture if deported, citing harassment by Russian authorities, military summons, and Nikita's past access to confidential government information linked to the war effort. Rights advocates and legal experts warn the case sets a troubling precedent for anti-war Russians across Europe, with Finland having deported more Russian nationals than any other nationality since the 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
