So, let’s punish refugees trying to leave the nation.
Look, I get it. This sanction is meant to make it even harder for Russia to move money in and out. But realistically, this is going to disproportionately affect the people trying to run away from the draft, or other political dissidents.
Did you forget how as soon as the war started, the Russians protested and thousands were arrested, beaten, jailed, etc?
The people in Russia have family and children to worry about, you can’t blame them for staying and not wanting to risk starving and leaving with nothing.
Not to mention that they know their country is in the wrong, so they would also be fearing oppression outside of their country as well, not to mention losing all of their assets, being homeless, potentially starving.
The people that will be fleeing now will be desperate. It’s clear that all the risks they face outside of Russia are now less than what they face remaining.
The citizens of Ukraine have had it incomprehensibly worse obviously, but that doesn’t diminish the plight of Russian refugees now, it all adds together in the cost to humanity.
Russians aren’t a race. Slavic is a race, but I’m clearly not anti-Slavic: I am pro-Ukrainian, and Ukrainians are also Slavs. Anti-Russian is both precise and correct, thanks.
You should read up on how Ukraine handled their own exodus from the war zone in March-April 2022 and the following months. They didn’t squeal and whine about not being able to take this or that; they worked together with the neighboring countries to get as many people out as they possibly could.
Not a whine, not a mewl, not an aggrandized, entitled demand among them. They did what needed to be done without stamping their feet and demanding that the world change for them.

You both could learn from them.
Слава Україні!
