On Tuesday, March 7th, Russia’s top parliamentarian dealing with the Ukrainian refugee influx into Russia — dealing, that is, with the people who have fled Ukraine as a result of U.S. President Barack Obama’s 2014 coup overthrowing Ukraine’s democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych — presented the first-ever comprehensive number of asylum-applicants from Ukraine who have received asylum there after that February 2014 coup. The Russian government had never before publicly provided a number, but does have an established system of processing refugees, including assignment of official refugee status, which «allows the recipient various social benefits, including unemployment compensation» and so each Ukrainian refugee has a file with the government.
As reported by Tass:
Russia has received more than 2,500,000 refugees since the outbreak of the conflict in eastern Ukriane, Yuri Vorobyov, Deputy Speaker of Russia’s Federation Council (upper house of parliament) and Chairman of the Committee for Public Support to Residents of Southeastern Ukraine, said on Tuesday. «Europe has received 900,000 [refugees] and shuddered, while we have received over 2,500,000 refugees on our territory and continue to provide assistance», he said opening the round table discussion «Russia-Donbass: New Cooperation Mechanisms».
That coup, which generated these millions of refugees, had been planned by the U.S. White House since 2011, and culminated on 20 February 2014. Also on that day, hundreds of Crimeans who had been standing in Kiev with signs opposing the overthrow of the President for whom 75% of Crimeans had voted, were attacked by supporters of the coup (which was fronted by, and was propagandized as being, the «Maidan revolution» demanding ‘democracy’ in Ukraine, though it actually ended democracy there). These Crimeans immediately scrambled back into the eight buses that had taken them to Kiev and headed back homeward, but the U.S.-government-backed Right Sector paramilitaries went in hot pursuit of the buses, and burnt some of them and massacred many of the demonstrators, outside of Kiev, in the town of Korsun. This became called «the Korsun Massacre», and Crimeans in Crimea immediately started demonstrating in Crimea, for Crimea to become, once again, as it had been until 1954, part of Russia.
Crimeans overwhelmingly favored Russia over the United States, and were terrified by the racist anti-Russian government that now ruled in Kiev. This fear wasn’t only because of the massacre, nor only because 75% of Crimeans had voted for the man whom Obama had overthrown, but also because Crimeans generally (and most Ukrainians who had voted for Yanukovych) knew well the intense racist hatred against pro-Russian Ukrainians by the Right Sector people, who had actually carried out the coup. A plebiscite was held in Crimea on 16 March 2014, and the vote to rejoin Russia was over 90%. U.S. President Obama then imposed economic sanctions against Russia for accepting Crimea back into Russia. These sanctions, and U.S. military aid to the new junta-government in Kiev, publicly renewed The West’s Cold War against Russia (which had actually continued secretly against Russia ever since the end of the Soviet Union in 1991; the Cold War had ended only on the Russian side).
U.S. President Obama recognized, of course, that the residents in the far-eastern region of Ukraine, Donbass, where the vote had been 90% for Yanukovych, could make impossible, in any subsequent nationwide Ukrainian Presidential election, a continuation of the U.S.-imposed Ukrainian government’s rule over Ukraine; and, so, his Ukrainian government instituted an ethnic-cleansing campaign in Donbass to kill as many of them as possible and force as many as possible of those Donbass residents to flee into Russia. Getting rid of those voters was essential to the success of Obama’s Ukrainian operation. That ethnic cleansing is the reason why 2.5 million former Ukrainians are now living in Russia: their presence in the Ukrainian electorate would jeopardize continued U.S. control over the Ukrainian government and was thus impermissible. These 2.5 million have thus been entirely removed from Ukraine now, and perhaps enough of those voters are gone from Ukraine so that once again Donbass will be able to become part of Ukraine, even while the U.S. continues to control Ukraine.
In the U.S. and the other nations that are controlled by the U.S. aristocracy, newsmedia typically criticize Russia regarding the Ukrainian refugees, such as by saying that «the Russian government’s policies puts them in an even more disadvantaged position» than Russia’s native population endure, so that these refugees suffer not because of the U.S. government, but because of the Russian government.
America’s new President, Donald Trump, has made clear that the economic sanctions against Russia will not end until both Crimea and Donbass become again parts of Ukraine. So, he supports his predecessor’s Russia-policy. America’s wars to strangle Russia (such as by eliminating leaders friendly toward Russia, including Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, and Viktor Yanukovych — and attempting to do it also to Bashar al-Assad) will, in other words, continue.
Soros is soooooo proud of his interference in Ukraine.
Gee….why didn’t we hear of this catastrophe from our crack media? Amazing how corrupt the Democrats are.
Must be ethnic Russians. Communism gave them no room to return. The smart ones with kids should come here. Food not as spicy.
Soros is soooooo proud that no one has tried to stop him and his evil ways all these years.
(sneaky snarky sarcasm)
If you need any more proof that the immigration crisis is organized and planned you need help.
I guess the Russian invasion and the takeover of Crimea had nothing to do with it then.
LOL
Trump has to get out of the terrible box the neocon globalists have built around him to stop a diplomatic solution with Russia
Meanwhile the Ukrainians and Russians annexed into Ukraine pay the terrible price of living in the midst of rich gas fields and strategic sealanes coveted by east and west
I’ve often thought it would be nice if some Russian hacker could hack all of soros accounts and empty them.
That was a result of US interference in Ukraines government and the resultant civil breakdown
Not a cause
Meanwhile, it was the Soros-supported OBAMA administration that handed KGB Putin all that he wanted and more regarding such critical things like missile defense and nukes, including the Iran nuke deal that Putin likes so much. Likewise, it was the Obama-Hillary regime who turned over 20% of our uranium production to the Russians. This while they (the OH admin) practically took apart OUR military. Putin couldn’t hope for a friendlier admin than he had with O.ii

Is this Russians going back to Russia as opposed to Ukrainians going to Russia?
Russia and Germany have been very abusive of the Ukrainians and Polish people in the last 100 years. God bless both races.
I remember the Ukrainians were voting to become independent from Russia and President George H Bush made a speech at the time encouraging them to stay and thinking at the time, how does he know what is best for them? I realize now he is just a globalist.
It might just be me but could someone here please translate this?
What are Right Sector people? What’s a plebiscite?
The first couple paragraphs I could maneuver through and after that it seems to become dribble.
Well it’s Tass. The Russian equivalent to the Wash Post. Our Pravda on the Potomac. Purveyor of dribble.
I’m sure the Russian people appreciate odumbo’s efforts. SARC!
>What are Right Sector people?
Ukrainian Neo-Nazi’s who provided the muscle for the Maiden coup and then led the charge to ethnic cleanse the east of Russian speakers.
Funny how Russia now claims to be anti-communist, yet continues to support and arm every hard left US-hostile regime on the planet, including North Korea and Marxist dictatorships throughout Latin America.
My guess is the Russisn Bear is simply waiting for the right moment to return to communism. It’s clear that KGB Putin is out to restore the evil empire. Whether they eventually return to communusm remains to be seen. But either way, the new Russian empire will be an evil one. How could it not be with an evil SOB like Putin in charge. He and all his former KGB/FSB pals currently running things there.
The Russian war on eastern Ukraine obviously had nothing to do with it. /s
