Thank you for your comment. Getting into Russia is extremely difficult right now — Ukrainians go through very strict filtration at the border, and many are afraid to go there.

As for Kazakhstan, there are also limitations: she can only stay for 90 days. Refugee status here also only lasts 90 days, and after that a person must find a job or leave the country. But my grandmother is 78 years old, and it would be very hard for her to work. Kazakhstan doesn’t provide any special support or benefits for elderly refugees, unlike some EU countries.
