Russia says they have ‘relocated’ 400,000 Ukraine’s that wanted to leave. So if they wanted to leave, why didn’t they immigrate to Russia before the war?
Just askin.
Russia has immigration laws, unlike America.
The Ukrainians prevented them from leaving. This whole thing began because of the major Russian component of those two states in the Donbas. The states had wanted to reunite with Russia, and then tried to secede (supported by a popular referendum) and were not recognized or permitted to leave. The Ukrainians have been shelling and otherwise attacking them since 2014, but ramped up when Zelensky took over and in the last year, probably because he felt he had Biden’s support. I guess he took random Biden ramblings as a plan, and of course he knew how deeply compromised Biden was by his Ukrainian dealings as VP.
“Russia says they have ‘relocated’ 400,000 Ukraine’s that wanted to leave. So if they wanted to leave, why didn’t they immigrate to Russia before the war?”
I find this most odd myself. Why was this done if it is true. Their is something wrong with this story.
