Original review summary

The review says the cited figure of about 1,500 applications is inaccurate: Russian officials reported 1,156 applications since the visa was introduced in September 2024, a period of nine months rather than one month. It also says the claim of a surge is unsupported because no comparison period or earlier migration figures were provided.[S1]
