You're right in principle, but in practice this is more a more sensitive matter when you share a border with a country like russia.

What they could do is bar any russian from entering unless they can prove on a case-by-case basis at the border that they are escaping persecution in russia for being against the invasion and need to cross it. I think that would be legal and ethical.

IIRC they did the exact opposite: they announced Russians running from the draft will be deprted back to Russia because they shoud not be allowed to "escape responsibility".
