Russians staying in Sri Lanka have showed their gratitude by creating a number of “whites only" night clubs, denying access to local Sri Lankans. So Sri Lankan authorities now decided to help the racists by telling all 288,000 Russians in Sri Lanka to take the next flight back to good old Moscow, where the average skin color is more to their liking.

Perfect! 😘👌

@randahl well, the flip side of this is that, if they return to Russia they'll be sent to the front to kill Ukrainians.

@so_treu @randahl actually, TBH, Ukraine's invasion by Russia has massive geopolitical implications which I find very disturbing and will have serious consequences at multiple levels if Putin succeeds in his objectives. From your POV, the reports of racism by the Ukrainian authorities may seem of great importance, but for me it is not irrelevant that hundreds of thousands of Russians may become available to feed Russia's cannon fodder attack on Ukraine.
