Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — Uzbek citizens who found themselves in difficult circumstances in Russia have returned to Uzbekistan with their children with the assistance of the Migration Agency, which arranged and paid for their airline tickets, the agency’s press service reported.
The return was organised with support from the Migration Agency’s representative office in Russia. Assistance was provided to citizens in Moscow, Vladivostok, Yekaterinburg, Perm, Nizhny Novgorod and Novosibirsk.
