According to the press service of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Uzbekistan, the above information is unfounded.

“Referring to a fake order of the Russian Interior Ministry, attackers are replicating fake news that citizens of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan temporarily staying in Russia are subject to partial mobilization. If they refuse to conclude a contract, they allegedly face the annulment of their work permit and deportation,” the Embassy said in a statement.

Diplomats called on Uzbeks in Russia not to succumb to various provocations and focus only on official information.
