“The policy pursued by the Russian Federation is finding an increasingly positive response among citizens of other countries,” Volk wrote in her Telegram channel.

A representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs noted the case when a young football player from Syria, a participant in the Future Games, approached President Putin.

“The boy expressed a desire to become a citizen of our country.

The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, for its part, will provide comprehensive assistance to the child and his parents in acquiring Russian citizenship,” Volk said in a statement.

Last May, former US President Joe Biden aide Tara Reade said she would like to apply for Russian citizenship.
