“I lost my phone” is gonna be heard a lot from now on over there.
Then they can say the classic line, “Don’t you all have phones?!”
Then you’ll get 4kg ankle monitor with 200$ deposit, which you’ll never get back, even if you return it. Complaints will be handled by spending undetermined time in a government “resort” with fun quarry themed activities.
Ruskies have this all this figured out.
That’s as good as saying “I lost my Driver’s License” after you get pulled over.
But they can look that up.
They can’t look up your whereabouts for the last few hours when your phone has been sitting on the coffee table.
They can put it in their records. If you “forget” too often, they’ll just assume you’re intentionally doing it and throw you in jail.
I’m gonna take a wild guess and say losing your phone is probably gonna result in a penalty

Surely the pro play would be simply not to go to Russia in the first place. Thinking about it that was always the pro play.
