Across Europe, concern is growing that traffickers and fraudsters are exploiting Ukrainian women fleeing war. Helsingin Sanomat reports that the phenomenon has reached Finland, detailing an undercover investigation by news agency STT.
Ads on Ukrainian staffing sites advertise well-paying jobs at Finnish factories including Sinebrychoff and Huhtamäki that do not actually exist, according to the companies themselves. The ads require applicants to pay a fee to apply for positions that don’t require any specialisation or local language skills.
To warn citizens about exploitation risks, Ukrainian officials have sent text messages through local mobile operators warning people of traffickers and urging them to turn down shady job offers.
While I am very positively for freezing their international assets and have no sympathies for enablers of neo-fascists and the likes, I have doubts about this.
The concept of Sippenhaft is dangerously close. We must not go this way.
American evangelists are telling refugees on the Ukraine-Poland border to repent and accept Jesus, which rather implies that they have sinned and the war is divine punishment.
Given that they ARE there, there’s many more practical things they could be doing to help than singing happy-clappy songs about a middle-eastern mediaeval would-be prophet to a crowd of fleeing refugees who have been bombed out of their homes.
To repeat my comment of around over 300 posts ago upthread, in response to the same shit up there…
Worst furry convention ever.
A bit of context translated from the original post:
So many things they could do that could help and they chose that.
Well, these are the same ilk that travel up jungle rivers and do the same to indigenous people who have been living peaceful “godless” lives for eons.
What about Misha’s family?
That depends on whether the FSB can figure out who “Misha” is (and if they can be bothered).
Do these folks not realize how many Ukrainians are Orthodox or do they think of that denomination as not “true” Christianity?
A lot of American Evangelicals think that Catholics are not proper Christians, so who knows what they think of the Eastern Orthodox churches.
