Makes me wonder. This war blows over and it’s rebuild time. What’s there for any of us wishing to invest $100k? I’d settle for a condo in downtown Kiev with a lot of nightclubs and a fast internet connection. I’d be quite happy.

If blacks were given priority egress out of Ukraine, the narrative would STILL be “Racism!”.

How many blacks would be willing to flee into Poland, if their only option would be to be deposited at the airport for a flight back to Africa?

Must be terrible weather to have "scorching cold weather.

It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry
The sun so hot I froze to death; Susanna, don’t you cry.

Such bullshit.

This is the second such story that I've seen.

Thousands of Ukrainians have been killed and injured and newsweak and the bbc chose to focus on a couple of butt hurt Africans, who weren't given expedited service.

Perhaps, they were giving precedence to their own citizens.

Guests, legal or illegal will just have to wait your turn.

Ukrainian guards prioritizing Ukrainians over foreigners, foreigners who are trying to return home vs. Ukrainians who have no safe home to return to.

Why don’t blacks ever want to be free of racism and live in majority black countries?

Start the airlifts into Texas. There are plenty of raves left where this invasion came from and nation building is so 2006.
