I’m sure this is not terribly different from the checks that the western world would (and, I say, very well should!) do on every citizen immigrating from a hostile country. It’s not a perfect situation, but nothing in this whole situation is exactly perfect. Did you read about the Russian spy that was caught trying to infiltrate the International Criminal Court?

Of course, this diligence should be handled by the authorities and once a person passes all those checks, they should be considered just like anyone else.
