Cool. But I can’t help the fact that it feels like a potential security risk to me. It is not unknown just how low they can stoop to get their way so I would expect that to be no different there.

The implications are great through. The Russian soldiers who would defect or abondon the army get to see that other soldiers who do that have paths to residency. Even if someone tries to play this system, and they will, it helps encourage Russian deserters which is smart when intel says their confidence and morale isn’t high.
