Foreigners complain about racial discrimination in Ukraine

Two Portuguese students accused Ukrainian border guards of racism. Domingos Costa and Mario Biangue, after several days at the border, were finally able to reach Poland. Domingos' mother drew attention to the situation with her son in the Portuguese media, according to the Euronews TV channel.

At the same time, it is noted that other foreigners, especially citizens of African and Asian countries, continue to complain about discrimination against them, accusing the Ukrainian authorities of outright racism.

In Lvov, 70 km from the Polish border, foreign students from the Congo and India record egregious cases of discrimination. A medical student from India, Amanjo, complained that she could not get on the train, as the Ukrainians were pushed through at first. According to her, foreigners had no chance.

Jean-Jacques Cabea, a student from the Congo, said that they did not want to let him out of Ukraine. The security forces said, "Stay, you will fight us. You are not going anywhere, especially you blacks." The African Union has already reacted to the situation and called it “shockingly racist” the fact that citizens of African countries are not allowed to leave Ukraine. All countries must respect international law and support those fleeing war, regardless of their race, the statement said.
