And in Russia it is nice tropical weather /s Are we talking about closing borders just for the winter, of for the summer as well? Are we talking about closing boreders for Russians that cant pay ticket to continue to other coutnries or to all russians? These are nonsense arguments where you pretend to make descision in their best intrerest. Are they too stupid to not be able to make a decision themselves to leave the country if they are under threat of certain death in a war. They would rather live in a tent then in a battlefield under same freezing conditions. How can someone in all honestly believe this clear lie?

Everybody's opinion matters, especially of EU citizens and even more of Estonian regarding this issue. Estonia can obviously deal with more migrants, it is just not convenient. Estonain goverment doesnt care about its citizens, but about getting reelected. They will do what is most in their interest.

Placing convienice of people from your country over others lives is obviously morally wrong. And unless you are a nationalist (right-wing) you can not believe that people from certain country have lives worth less than from another, even yours. So there is no difference between russian and estonian, and their interest should be placed at the same value. To disagree is by definition nationalism and if we are talking about ethnicity, racism.

"Close them down, nothing of value in Russia at the moment". while talking about closing borders for Russian refugees. Hardly can be interpreted any other way then talking about human lives. But maybe you didn't know article was about migration, but by title alone assumed it was just sanctions.

I agree. Thank you then for your explaining. Sorry for misinterpreting your comment.

He never said that it is impossible to overthrow him, he said that it is very difficult. Which is objectively true. Putin is a leader of a superpower, he has nukes for god's sake. This other user is claiming that because they overthrow their president that they could also overthrow a dictator that has been in power for dacades consolidating his power and controls a huge military aresenal at his disposal.

Furthermore. this user from Ukraine, that of course we all simpatize on terms of being at war, has clearly belived in anti-russian racist propaganda so much that he belives that people in Russia are not forced to go to war, but are volenrarly getting shot at in war just because they are so evil and want to kill as many Ukranians as possible. They clearly stated that they live lives just as comfortable as before 2014, and doesn't understand that they are under santctions and has no understanding of what santions actually do to a population.

He is educating him on exclusively Russian politics.

So kill everyone that is fleeing a war? Should Ukrainans fleeing a war be killed as well for not fighting for their country? Or are you just openly racist against Russians, saying all of them are bad and need to be killed.

Did Yanukovich kill anyone who critissized his government? How violent and determined to stay in power was Yanyukovich compared to Putin? Also this is clearly a general anti-migrant comment. "Fix the problem in your country instead of fleeing" is a dangerous and hipocritical rethoric. Why don't you fix it for them if you are more brave then them? Are you fighting in Ukranian war, risking your life being shot at? Or are you at home critisizing someone for not risking their lives enough? There is no reason to force them to fight in a war by not allowing them to enter another country.

Do you seriously believe racist propaganda so much to think that Russians are an evil population that willingly goes to war and not because the ruling class is making them fight? How many people do you know that willingly went to fight in a war and get shot at? Even those that believe that some wars are justified almost never actually do this. And have you even heard of sanctions? Let alone experience life in sanctions? This is most ignorant comment here.

How many regimes against your own countries government have you overthrown? Calling someone gutless for refusing to go to civil war is cruel at least and almost always hipocritical as well. Easy to type on Internet about why someone doesn't fight a war for you. Are you doing your part in overthrowing their government? Are you physically fighting in this war? Did you overthrow your government when your government went to a war without your support? Let me guess, you are from a country that is in NATO that started more wars that Russia did in a last decade all around the World, that you as well clearly know is for oil and you do not support and yet sometimes not only did you not overthrow your government, but instead voted for people who are pro-NATO and pro war, just because they pretended to be less racist then other politicians.

Oh look, another liberal racist. Of course if ukrainins can be regugees doesnt mean russians arent. We are talking about civilan lives here, just because they are from Russia, doesn't mean they are not "real refugees" from war. Also combining word of nationality (russian) and ideology (nazzi) like that is clearly racist and you must admit is far-right view. Which is ironic that far-right opinions are so often disguessed as fight against nazzism. Even more ironic that Russian government used this same excuse for a war.

It is a nonsense problem created to excuse clearly right-wing anti-migrant politics as left-wing, by saying that you care about people so much, that you can't have them sleep on the street, so better to let them die in a war. Because at that point, that problem is somewhere else, in another country. Better then to see suffering on your own streets.

It is a weak argument to claim that people must stay in a region where they will be killed, until you are certain that you can allow 100% comfort in nice houses for them to live with. If they want to come to that country and sleep in a tent, rather then die in a war, why not let them in? I understand that right-wing people make racist arguments and are clear on that they don't like migrants and hate other popluations, but when I hear this from people who consider themselves left-wing, they always make up some nonsense excuses how they are actually letting people die for their own sake.

You shouldn't close your borders until you have an alternative. Human lives are a first priority. Your income will be fine, EU is the richest region in the World. Most migrants can get a job as well and they are negligable addition to population of Europe that has more then a billion citizens. These are weak excuses for what is clearly classic anti-migrant racism.

Yes, it is better to let them die in a war then let Russia create pressure and confusion. /s What are your motivations for policies? Human lives or just winning a war against people you don't like at any cost?

There is no funding avaliable for train tickets to other countries, but there is funding for train trasnport and manufature of guns to kill those people when they are forced to become soliders. There is no real concern about heir lives, just that somehow, the richest region in the World, EU, cant find funds for train tickets for citizens (if they are Russians). Better to let them kill and be killed in war, then pay for a ticket, that I am sure most can pay for by themselves. Just let them in if they have money for a ticket at least. That is a really weak excuse to force people to fight in a war.

And what is with this paranioa that they Russia is just sending millions of people to try to make a brakaway region in every country in Europe, instead of using those people in war. This propaganda, like most, is so contraditory and ridicolous. In one article they say, Russians don't have any more soliders, they are losing a war, in next, they have millions of people that they will send to your country to somehow take it over. It is a classic anti-imigrant logic where migrants are both too weak and too strong, depending on the arguement. Too lazy to work and yet take all your jobs. Too incompentent to fight authority in their own country, but competent enough to take over yours. War migrants are dangerous horrible people that are at the same time running away from a war, but somehow are flipped to be disgusied unarmed soliders at the same time.

Even if all of this could be true, that somehow they could create a breakaway region in another country, would it really be more moral to let them die in a war instead of giving them a region where they would have autonomy? What kind of warmongering is this? PS: Can you give any source of any country ever sending people to a region where there werent already siginficant portions of those populations and forming a breakaway region?

If my country was at war, I would rather cross 4 countries then die in a war. It makes no sense to not give them a choice, claiming that you care too much about them to let them be inconvineced by the act of saving their lives.

And of course there are always security concerns when we are trying to help people save their lives. What about security concerns of Russians that are trying to flee? Are Estonian lives more valuable then Russian lives? Is it safer for everyone to forcefully keep as many people in region of war as possible? To let them forcfuly become soliders that will shoot at other people and arm people they are attacking so that someone has to die. Is it better to let all Russian citizens become soliders and either kill Ukranian soliders or die themselves in a war, then risk to let unarmed people in another country, because some of them, somehow, could be the bad guys, simply because they are from Russia. As if they are more likely to be dangeous than people from any other country.

They are also forced to fight in a war for Russia. But it seems that a lot of people who consider themselves left-wing, don't actually care about stopping a war, but to kill as many enemy soliders. They are pretending that their actions are motivated by compassion for victims of war, while actually they would let as many as people needed to die to hurt the person they hate as much as possible. It is hate, not love, that dictates their decisions.

So the solution is to decide in their name to keep them in country of war, where you claim they will be safer, without even hearing their opinion.

Any law that prohibits people that are fleeing a war from entering a country is a pro-war inhumane law that shouldn't exist. It is only moral to break any law that stops you from saving someone's life. A lot of people like to imagine that during ethnic cleansing in their countries they would be heroes that shelter people in secret, but it is obvious that even people who consider themselves left-wing, value law (the will of the state) more than human life.
