Moscow is concerned about recent unrest in Bangladesh and hopes the country will soon return to constitutional norms, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry. The ministry acknowledged that changes in Bangladesh’s government are considered an internal matter.
The Russian Embassy in Dhaka reported that no Russian citizens were harmed amid the turmoil.
On August 5, Bangladeshi media reported that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her cabinet resigned following massive protests. Demonstrators had been demanding justice for officials responsible for deadly anti-government student protests in July. The unrest, initially triggered by a quota-related issue, intensified with protesters vandalizing properties and defacing the statue of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Bangladesh’s founding leader. The violence led to Hasina’s resignation and her departure from the country.

Currently, the Bangladeshi Army is managing the situation, and a transitional government is expected soon. Reports indicate that Hasina fled to a “safer place” after protestors stormed the Prime Minister’s official residence, Gonobhaban, in Dhaka.
India has granted Hasina an interim stay as her government collapsed. She is reportedly seeking asylum in the UK and is on her way to London via India. The Indian government is providing logistical support during her transit.
The UK government has not yet confirmed whether Hasina will be granted political asylum. Her stay in India is temporary, pending her relocation to the UK.
