Margarita Simonyan, speaking on Russia 1, described meeting foreigners who have moved to the Russian Federation during the SMO:

“[They] say: ‘You have remained the only thing that in English is called a safe haven — a safe harbor for normality.’”

The RT editor-in-chief noted that during the SMO, 11,000 foreigners moved to Pskov Oblast alone.
