- BI Legal Division Chief Arvin Cesar Santos confirmed coordination with Russian authorities is underway to facilitate the deportation.
- Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla said the process will rely on Zdorovetskiy’s Russian passport despite his U.S. green card, noting he has served his penalty and shown remorse.
- Zdorovetskiy was arrested in April 2025 in Bonifacio Global City and detained for nearly nine months over livestreamed offenses including unjust vexation, alarm and scandal, and attempted robbery, leading to his designation as an undesirable foreign national.
- Local outlet News5 reported a planned transfer from Manila to Kalibo, Aklan, before a flight to Moscow, while Russian Ambassador Marat Pavlov urged nationals to obey local laws.
