Russian birthing tourism, a growing trend in the nation for the past year, was made public last week when immigration officials detained six pregnant Russian women at an airport in Buenos Aires.
Russian pregnant parents who are fleeing the possibility of conscription and looking for new passports in Argentina have steadily becoming more common as Russia’s President Vladimir Putin escalates the conflict in Ukraine.
Over the past year, pregnant Russian women and couples with new babies have become more prevalent in Buenos Aires, especially in private clinics, parks, and cafes.
The Directorate of Migrations was alarmed by the situation involving the six arrested ladies and suspected that illegal activity was taking place.
The six extremely pregnant women had tourist visas but no return tickets and were unable to provide any information about their intended destinations. They traveled individually and were only detained for a short time across two days.
In reality, the Russians only wanted to give birth in the nation, but authorities were concerned that criminal organizations were involved.
One of the draws of Argentina is the high standard of its medical facilities as well as how simple it is to become a citizen.
I desire for my son to live.
Yet, a lot of people are motivated by the idea that one day their kids would be drafted into the military and sent to fight in a terrible conflict, just like Putin is doing in Ukraine with the current generation.
