On October 15, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree approving the migration policy concept for 2026-2030. The document is published on the official Internet portal of legal information.

The main provisions of the concept include a decrease in the number of children of foreign citizens who do not attend school, an increase in the number of migrants who share the traditional values of Russia, as well as limiting the stay of unemployed and non-studying migrant family members. The authorities intend to take measures against the formation of ethnic enclaves and the marginalization of migrants, as well as introduce information technologies and biometrics to control migration.
