https://www.yahoo.com/news/african-students-fleeing-ukraine-report-racial-discrimination-at-borders-234429880.html

Quote
Amid the chaos and deadly attacks on major cities that the U.N. estimates have so far killed approximately 3,300 civilians, some African students have reported encountering ugly instances of racism from some civilians and members of the Ukrainian military as they try to escape the country.
...
“On our way to the border, a man held a gun up at me and told us that if we don’t leave in five minutes, he would shoot us,” Sky told a pool of reporters that included Yahoo News. “Other Black women have been reported being shoved, being pushed, women with children. It’s horrific. The treatment has been awful.”

The last 24 hours of her journey in the queue, Sky said, were the worst because that’s when she started facing “racism and segregation.” She said that while she and her husband were making their way to the front of the line, Ukrainian civilians began aggressively circling their car, with one man allegedly lunging at her.

Fearful of the mob, Sky’s husband pulled the car off the road to seek assistance from the Ukrainian military, but was met by another civilian who attempted to divert them onto a pedestrian border crossing.

“In that pedestrian queue, there were only people of color,” Sky said. “There were Asians, Arab people, Black people. There were no Ukrainian people.”

At another crossing point, she said, Ukrainian people were just walking through the border.

“If you look on the other side, there was a fence, there were Ukrainian people just walking through, but we were told to queue. We had to queue, and there was not a single Ukrainian person in that queue,” Sky said.
...
Another African student, Alexander Somto Orah of Nigeria, tweeted that when he finally reached the border with some companions, Ukrainian police and members of the army initially refused to let them cross while allowing white Ukrainians through the entry point without incident.

According to the New York Times, 24-year-old Nigerian doctor Chineye Mbagwu, who resided in the western Ukrainian town of Ivano-Frankivsk, said she was stranded in the town of Medyka for two days at the Poland-Ukraine border crossing as foreigners were denied passage by border guards.

“The Ukrainian border guards were not letting us through. They were beating people up with sticks” and tearing off their jackets, she added. “They would slap them, beat them and push them to the end of the queue. It was awful.”

Other accounts using the #africansinukraine hashtag (but unverified by Yahoo News) involve African men, women and children being shoved off trains and buses by Ukrainian troops.

Russian troops accused of raping ‘numerous’ women as they rampage through Ukrainian cities
Quote
RUSSIAN troops have been accused of raping "numerous" women as they rampage through Ukrainian cities.
Quote
As the war rages on for a ninth day, Ukraine's foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba alleged there have been reports of Putin's soldiers sexually assaulting Ukrainian women.
Quote
He told a briefing at Chatham House: "We have numerous cases of, unfortunately, when Russian soldiers **** women in the Ukrainian cities."

Kuleba backed a call for the creation of a special tribunal to punish Moscow's aggression as Russia's hostility escalates beyond bombing.

Kuleba said international law "is the only tool of civilisation that is available to us to make sure that in the end, eventually, all those who made this war possible will be brought to justice".

He said: "We are fighting against the enemy who is much stronger than us.

"But the international law is on our side, and hopefully... it will make its own contribution to help us prevail."

Svetlana Zorina, 27, from the Russian-controlled city of Kherson, also accused the invading Russian forces of sexually assaulting women.

Americans head to the war zone
Quote
With the war in Ukraine now in its second week, some Americans are stepping up to the plate, including a groom who postponed his honeymoon to fly to the front lines. ABC News' Will Ganss has more.


Reminder: Palestine has been a war zone since 1948. I know, unfortunately many Palestinians have brownish skin and many of them are Arabs. What a shame for them aye?

Quote
During the 1948 Palestine War in which the State of Israel was established, around 700,000 Palestinian Arabs or 85% of the total population of the territory Israel captured fled or were expelled from their homes by Israeli forces.

77 years after WWII, both sides of the Ukraine war keep making appeals against Nazis, lol.

Quote
Ukraine president asks Jewish people around world to speak against Russia
[...]
I am now addressing all the Jews of the world – don’t you see what is happening? It is very important that right now, millions of Jews around the world do not remain silent. Nazism is born in silence,” said Zelenskiy.
[...]
Later on Wednesday several prominent groups representing Holocaust survivors condemned Russia’s claim that its military action in Ukraine is aimed at “denazifying” the country.

“The signatories of this appeal denounce the use of the words ‘denazification’ and ‘genocide’ to justify the attack on Ukraine... We cannot accept that these words are tarnished in this way,” read a statement signed by representatives from the committees of several former Nazi concentration camps, including the International Auschwitz Committee, and those of Dachau, Buchenwald-Dora and Ravensbrueck.

Under Vladimir Putin, the Soviet victory in the second world war has become a major building block of Russian national identity, and Putin has attempted to portray modern Russia as the inheritor of this proud anti-Nazi heritage, even as his government has targeted minorities, reduced freedoms and is now waging an expansionist war.

Russia alleges, that since the Maidan revolution in 2014, Ukraine has been run by a far-right cabal, with Putin refering to the government in Kyiv as “a band of drug addicts and neo-Nazis”.
[...]
Azman, who was born in Leningrad, now St Petersburg, recorded an angry appeal to Russians and Russian Jews on Tuesday, clutching a Torah and criticising the lack of public outcry in Russia against the war.

As we guessed, Ukrainian armed forces were indeed not checking passports but outright letting through anyone "white" and not letting through anyone "non-white" (even if they actually had Ukrainian passports!):



One day Ukraine must become 100% populated by "non-whites". This alone will be poetic justice for the above behaviour. We should try to make this happen within our lifetimes. Climate refugees could certainly use Ukraine as lebensraum:

Ukraine claimed to have taken out a variety of Russian equipment during Moscow’s initial assault against Kyiv.
