Ukraine's policy is meant to encourage men to sign up to fight against Russia’s invasion or to keep them available for military conscription.

That has led to heartbreaking scenes of separation, along with growing worry as some encircled, battered parts of Ukraine slip out of reach.

Europe now has alot of single Muslim men and unaccompanied Ukranian women. What could possibly go wrong?

Some of the women are actually going to Russia. They have relatives there.

Yeah. What a nightmare. I wouldn’t let my wife and kids go. The family that fights together stays together.

They probably ALL have relatives there.

And for your information...my aunt's husband had family in Ukraine. BEFORE Putin they had to meet in the city under supervision. AFTER Putin came to power, they were able to freely travel to the old farmhouse.

When the MSM starts to wail about Ukrainian women, Ukrainian children, Ukrainian LGBTQWERTY people, African-American Ukrainians (WTF?), Ukrainian Hispanics, etc., you know the whole thing has officially become a farce.

Serious question - How are they determining who is which gender?

“Europa”is multiple countries.
There are 1.4 million Ukrainian women and children in Poland.

There are 10s of thousands or less single men in Germany or the UK.

Different countries
