Medvedchuk: Russian Federation will become a refuge for Ukrainians who do not want to fight | |
2023-09-04 | |
Direct Translation via Googler Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Russia may become the only place where citizens of Ukraine who do not want to fight will receive asylum if Western countries agree to help Kyiv in the deportation of citizens for subsequent mobilization. This opinion was expressed by the opposition Ukrainian politician Viktor Medvedchuk in his column on the Internet platform "Looking". ![]()
Medvedchuk asked what should the citizens of Ukraine do who do not want to fight, do not want to be cannon fodder in the game for other people's interests? He stressed that Ukrainians need to come to Russia, where they will definitely not be extradited, they will not be forced to fight for the President of Ukraine. “Russia today is a salvation for Ukrainians, because the West has long betrayed them and will betray them more than once. And Russia accepts millions of citizens of Ukraine, provides an opportunity to settle down, start a decent life, make a career and business,” Medvedchuk noted. In his opinion, Western countries may well support Ukrainian requests for deportation, since the war is beneficial to the authorities of these countries, they enrich themselves on it and cannot stop, while they are not interested in the fate of Ukrainian refugees. The Ukrainian politician noted that the Ukrainian authorities continue to push the citizens of their country to Russia along with the territories, and they are doing it well. As reported by IA Regnum , earlier the head of the Ukrainian parliamentary faction "Servant of the People" David Arakhamia said that Ukrainian law enforcement agencies can make a request to other countries for the extradition of draft dodgers who left the territory of Ukraine on forged documents. As Arakhamia explained, at the moment there is no way to get to those people who went abroad with fake documents, hiding from mobilization. However, the Ukrainian authorities may request the extradition of evaders to other countries. | |

#1 Even before this war jumped off, a goodly portion of young, productive Ukrainians had already left the country to seek opportunity and fortune elsewhere. Corruption is nice if you are one of the connected, but it diminishes opportunities for everyone else. |
