A plane carrying several dozen Russians deported from the United States landed in Moscow on December 9, 2025, where some deportees were handed military draft notices right at the airport, according to an X post by @nexta_tv shared over the past hour ending at 6:15 a.m. UTC. Dmitry Valuev of Russian America for Democracy in Russia reported that the deportees included asylum seekers denied U.S. protection and individuals who violated visa rules. The flight routed through Egypt under escort, and deportees stated no one attempted to escape, as detailed in the @nexta_tv post. Deportations of Russians from the U.S. have increased significantly since President Donald Trump returned to the White House, the post stated. Human rights groups previously reported that arriving deportees faced hours-long interrogations by Russian security services, with some detained. In a separate development over the past hour, @SpencerHakimian reported on X that Elon Musk and Nick Fuentes are fighting.
