India, Jan. 16 -- Philippine authorities confirmed on January 15 that the Russian YouTuber Vitaly Zdorovetskiy is set to be deported to Russia in the coming weeks after serving a prison sentence for a string of harassment-related offences in the Philippines.

Vitaly was arrested in April 2025 in Bonifacio Global City (BGC), Taguig City, and detained for nearly nine months before the conclusion of his cases.

The Bureau of Immigration (BI) Board of Commissioners has already issued a deportation order against Vitaly. The order, however, states that his return to Russia will take place only after all required clearances from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the courts wherehe faced charges have been obtained.
