SocietyRussian landowners barred from foreign travel over uncleared hogweed as new nationwide weed rules take effect
In Russia’s Perm region, bailiffs barred landowners from leaving the country after they ignored orders to remove Sosnowsky’s hogweed, a toxic invasive plant. The restrictions were lifted after the plots were cleared. Since March 2026, landowners and users nationwide have been required to remove hazardous plants or risk fines and losing their land rights.
