Yeah... we already knew they lived in a fantasy world. Russia Is Afraid of Western Psychic Attacks Pseudoscience and mysticism are common among the Moscow elite. https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/01/03/russia-western-psychic-attacks-mystics-astrology-putin-ukraine/
Okay - this, from the UN, makes NO sense under the prevailing narrative that Russia is all evil all the time and the Ukrainians hate the awful Nazi Russkies: The number of Ukrainian refugees who arrived in Europe exceeds 7.9 million people. The most amount of refugees accepted by one country is Russia, with more than 2.8 million people - Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. Why are 35% of Ukrainian refugees fleeing towards the invaders, who no doubt, will only rape, torture, murder and imprison them, if reports are to be believed. What do they think that CNN knows to be untrue?
You provide no linked source for your claim that 2.8 million Ukrainians have willfully fled to Russia so here is some help. We know that many hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have been kidnapped by Russia and sent to remote regions -- including thousands of children who were ripped away from their parents. Why don't you go take a look at the following thread and educate yourself. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/putin-a-war-criminal.365790/
The answer to the 2.8 lies herein: And it is not pretty. Not sure where the biased poster got the "willfully" from. https://www.brookings.edu/blog/future-development/2022/10/14/ukrainian-refugees-challenges-in-a-welcoming-europe/#:~:text=In October 2022 the U.N.,evidence of executions and torture.
I believe the first paragraph of this article is important for context... In October 2022 the U.N. listed 7.6 million Ukrainian refugees across Europe, including 2.85 million in Russia—many of the latter were sent there by Russian occupiers and were subjected to a “filtration” process with credible reports of war crimes emerging, including evidence of executions and torture. Some 4.2 million Ukrainian refugees have registered for the EU’s temporary protection scheme or other national programs. A further 3.1 million had returned to Ukraine as of June 2022 when the U.N. also noted 6.9 million internally displaced peoples.1 In all, nearly one-third of Ukrainians have been displaced. A further 13 million are stranded within Ukraine due to fighting, impassable routes, or lack of resources to move.
Let's face it. Russia is not exactly "the destination of choice" these days. The Ukrainians fleeing to those European countries have to also compete with Russians fleeing to those countries. Russia is a shit-hole country that has fucked up everything for the civilized world. All their buddies are terrorist scum bag countries.
Just a reminder... if we spend another 5% we can destroy the rest of Russian military capability. 5% of U.S. Defense Budget Destroyed 50% of Russia’s Military in Ukraine https://www.19fortyfive.com/2023/01...-destroyed-50-of-russias-military-in-ukraine/
