Sounds like they were kicked out
Doctors with Borders Made for Them.
Doctors With Some Borders
Doctors with exclusion zones
Doctors for me but not for thee
Doctors With Honestly Pretty Understandable Borders
They will now be known as Doctors With One Border
Niii!!!
Don’t cross that shrubbery.
Not very hard to get labelled as foreign agent these days.

They need a Militaire Sans Frontiers to protect them...
@101 Because there, perhaps, they would be Doctors With Borders, or Doctors With Would-Be-Czar Expanding Borders?
They would be classified as a foreign-backed political organisation, which puts any member still in the country in danger of spending 15 years behind Russian bars.

Médecins Avec Frontières
So... There's at least one border, then.
