Where were the streams of thousands of ethnic Russians fleeing Ukraine for the safety of the Russian motherland?

The Ukrainians didn’t build an iron curtain to keep them in.

When there is persecution of Cubans, we get Cuban refugees ...
When Venezuela persecutes those opposed to communism, we got rivers of refugees.
Persecution in Africa sends forth hundreds of thousands.

But when ethnic Russians were supposedly persecuted... there were no rivers of ethnic Russians voting with their feet. and pouring out of Ukraine in hopes of escaping persecution.

You have a silly take on things.   Those ethnic Russians have been living in the Ukraine for generations.   They have intermarried and share common roots with the Ukrainians from the past thousand years.   There was a flood refuges even if you refuse to believe it.   There has been a flood of so called ethnic Ukrainians fleeing conscription in a sham proxy war Victoria Nuland and the rest of the Neocons planned.

Just to give you a hint:   My next door neighbors were Jewish immigrants from Russia, specifically Moscow.   He had been an engineer in a Soviet Design Bureau, an expert calculating stress forces on helicopter rotors, but passed away several years ago.   Funny thing, after the Special Military Operation, our neighbor next door let us know she was ethnic Ukrainian even though she never lived there.   She was enthralled that Voldemort Zelenskyy was Jewish and fighting Russia.

This whole situation is none of our business and you are a fool for picking sides or are pushing your own agenda.
