  1. Russians and Ukrainians are conspiring to steal the world with fake war. US and Eu are struggling with inflation while Russians and Ukrainians enjoy the sun and Sri Lanka. Leave them; we need to live; we need to stop inflation and high prices.

  2. Wait, why would the Russian embassy be supporting the draft dodgers? The Russian embassy represents the Russian government so shouldn't they be against draft dodgers? πŸ˜…

  3. Russians seem to have forgotten about 1939.
    They have a short memory too about Crimea and what they did to the original occupants in 2014.
    Every word that comes out of Putlers mouth or out of the Russian foreign ministers is pure dog shite… The country has been attacking neighbouring countries systematically for decades.
    Slava Ukraine πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

  4. I'd believe that to be true. Many Ukrainians the fled to England said they wanted to be put in "white only" communities. They tried it in Canada too. Lots of racism. Saying they "feared for their lives" when seeing someone that wasn't white working at a store or just walking around.

    Channel 4 covered this, for those asking for source.
