More potential income for Russian economy and recruits for Vlad Putin.

Ugh no, they will now flood the beaches of Goa, there are already too many of them.

Why didn’t you add that for Ukrainians too?
Hundreds of tousands? I doubt.
No one sane would like to have a Russian enclave in their country. It’s always starts with appealing to humanism and economic benefits and always ends with spies and provocations.
Stab in the back, Bali next?
Maybe they are afraid of the long term impact? Who knows, in 10 years, russia will try to liberate Sri Lanka due to bad treatment of russian speaking people? I wouldn’t rule out this if I were them.
Just came back from some vacations in the Maldives. Could not believe how many russian couples, whose husbands were totally in shape to be sent to the battlefield, were enjoying their deferment under the palm trees. Disgusting.
People in r/europe love giving putin manpower. I would prefer a few refugee spies over giving him more of what Ukraine is lacking.
I still think that if Russia wants to, it can easily funnel spies into Europe because Russians with a lot of money can still get into Europe so refusing so many Russian refugees because of spy paranoia is one of the stupidest thing we ever did.
Im pro this measure.
I would give work visa straight away for high income Russians, instead of this stupid loopoles.
Bring their GDP down to zero. If we have sanctions, we can forbid them to go to Russia until the war is over.
I do believe that alanya became a slavic province in antalya, there are more russians compared to turks and it is worrying.
*Russians and Ukrainians. They seem to not want either groups
> It comes amid a furious social media backlash over Russian-run businesses with a “whites only” policy that strictly bars locals. These businesses include bars, restaurants, water sports and vehicle hiring services.
Critical part of the story not addressed by the headline.
Nice move, putin need more people in country before next mobilization and war finally over
>Tourism minister Harin Fernando told Daily Mirror that the ministry has been receiving complaints of some Russian tourists running unregistered and illegal businesses in the southern part of the country.

Frkn audacity to go to someone else’s country, run an illegal business and exclude locals from it.

I would say that countries should offer them refuge. But it seems that Russians will be Russians. They should be excluded from all other countries, and let to rot there.
I’ve just been in Sri Lanka at the end of last year and I can very much imagine why this is now being pushed by the local authorities. I don’t think it has even anything to do with taking a stance regarding the war in Ukraine, generally the people of Sri Lanka are very welcoming people and would probably shelter anyone trying to escape a horrible situation, but the way some Russians behave is absolutely disgusting. During my trip I’ve run into all types of tourists, some very nice encounters with Germans and Dutch in particular, but also with Brits, Italians and French. The Russians mostly stay among themselves. They would show up in a 3 thousand year old Buddhist temple, that’s still in use and holly to the locals, spit on the ground, shout nonstop (one thing they’ve got in common with the Chinese tourists) and treat the poor locals like they’re not even humans. It really started to piss me off, ashamed of these fellow “white Europeans”. And I could tell that some locals also had enough, with many already having a very negative image of the Russians, just trying to avoid them if possible. It completely fits reading about them opening “whites only” businesses. I think I’ve even seen some of them in the South, all the signs at the front were just in Russian with cyrillic letters.
It seems wherever Russians go, even if they are technically escaping a war, they manage to upset the locals by showing an upmost disrespect for their culture. I’ve seen this in other places like Turkey too. The absurd thing is that many of the Russians “just trying to escape war” still seem to be very uncritical of their own government and extremely nationalistic. Many coming from the rich upper class of Russian society. There’s no need to shelter these people from war, they’re the very reason why Russia is even in that state. The ones that truely just want to escape an authoritarian government and having to serve in an unjust war should of course be given asylum, better than having them killing Ukrainians, I’d even go as far as forcing them to do labor that benefits Ukraine, I think that’s a fair price for not having to serve at the front and possibly dying a horrible death.
Stay classy, r/europe
So Sri-Lanka most probably caved in to a “generous” offer from Russia asking to put further pressure on relocants who ran away from the war and from internal repressions. Under the pretext that a few (out of tens of thousands) idiots did something illegal and/or disgusting (such as “whites only” policy).
And r/europe gladly jerks off to this yet another stupid move.
Instead of promoting things that would REALLY put pressure on Russia’s regime in short, medium and long terms. You need an example? Maybe offer free scholarships to bright students motivating them to move before they are conscripted. Maybe offer work places and visas to anyone in STEM fields motivating them to relocate? I could go on. Brain drain is the most effective medium and long-term neasure that EU and USA could implement.
why not just send the russian-run businesses with a whites only policy back?
