Brits sign up for Putin's offer to escape UK
Worried UK citizens have registered an interest in the Russian president's scheme
His move to sign people up to live in Russia comes amid a cost of living crisis that has gripped the UK
Desperate Brits are signing up for Vladimir Putin's offer to escape the UK and move to Russia, it has been revealed. The move is part of the Russian president's plan to entice people to live in his country amid a worsening cost of living crisis in the UK.
The scheme, which has been launched under the banner of the “State Program for the Voluntary Resettlement of Compatriots Living Abroad,” has reportedly seen thousands of UK citizens sign up to move to Russia.
According to reports, the scheme is open to anyone who has Russian ancestry, speaks Russian, or is married to a Russian citizen.
The scheme offers successful applicants the chance to live and work in Russia, as well as access to free housing, healthcare, and education.
The UK is currently facing a cost of living crisis, with inflation at a 40-year high and energy bills soaring.
The crisis has led to many people struggling to make ends meet, with some even being forced to choose between heating their homes and eating.
The scheme has been met with mixed reactions, with some people praising it as a lifeline for those struggling to make ends meet in the UK.
However, others have criticized the scheme, saying that it is a propaganda stunt by Putin and that it will not solve the underlying problems that are causing the cost of living crisis in the UK.
