Resuming case processing of Russian nationals

Because of the developments in the country, the processing of applications for international protection filed by Russian nationals was temporarily blocked.

The CGRS collected new COI and is resuming case processing of Russian nationals as of 19 February. The CGRS assesses whether applicants for international protection need international protection and does so on the basis of the refugee and international protection definitions established by law and international treaties.

From 12 June 2026, the CGRS will apply new EU rules for the asylum procedure, including mandatory recording of the personal interview, wider use of the accelerated procedure and revised rules on safe countries.
