> The Tula regional government has ordered residents to leave temporary accommodation centers that have housed refugees from Ukraine and Russian border communities since 2022. Many are single mothers with children, older people, or people newly escaped from fighting who have yet to find work or settle in. After repeatedly extending the deadline, managers told residents there would be no further extensions; local officials cited insufficient funding.
