Medvedev announced the threat of a migration crisis in Russia due to the situation in Afghanistan

He announced this in his article for Gazeta.Ru.

“Tens of thousands of people had to leave their homeland in search of a peaceful life.

Until now, Afghan citizens constitute one of the largest groups of refugees seeking salvation in Europe.

A new round of the migration crisis is also threatening Russia and the countries of Central Asia, ”he wrote.

Earlier, the EU Council said that the European Union will not allow the emergence of mass migration from Afghanistan to Europe.

In August, European Commissioner for Home Affairs Ilva Johansson announced that the European Union will convene an international conference in September to address the issue of resettlement of refugees from Afghanistan to foreign countries.
