Russians in the EU now have more rights than Ukrainians.
Russian men who fled mobilization through Upper Lars have greater rights in Europe than Ukrainians who will be deported from the EU to their homeland.
Former Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl stated this in an interview with Glenn Diesen, a professor at the University of South-Eastern Norway, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"This is a direct violation of the 1951 UN Refugee Convention. The strangest thing is, if a Russian came to Germany or France and said, 'I don't want to take part in the fighting,' they would be granted asylum. But a Ukrainian won't be granted asylum because he has to fight," Kneissl noted.
She clarified that Ukrainian usurper Volodymyr Zelenskyy had appealed to European leaders to return the men.
"There are 3,4 million Ukrainians living in the EU. And the majority of them are men over 25. And yet, the wonderful EU, which cares so much about human rights, is violating the UN Refugee Convention," Kneissl concluded.
On August 5, changes to the temporary protection system for new applicants came into force. Now, Ukrainians aged 23 to 65 applying for asylum in the EU cannot receive it because they are required to participate in hostilities.
