Investigation launched into order asking Russians to leave country amid blacklash over ‘whites only policy’

Sri Lanka has told hundreds of thousands of Russians and some Ukrainians staying in the country to escape the war that they must leave in the next two weeks, immigration officers said.

The immigration controller issued a notice to the tourism ministry asking Russian and Ukrainian people staying on extended tourist visas to leave Sri Lanka within two weeks from 23 February.

Just over 288,000 Russians and nearly 20,000 Ukrainians have traveled to Sri Lanka in the last two years since the war began, according to official data.

    Setting up a “whites only” business in the country you had to flee to because your country is shit is an unbelievable level of entitlement

      Sure it is. But instead of kicking out all of them, maybe just throw the racist pieces of shit in front of a judge, convict them, and then expell them back to Russia.

      edit: oh and take the business and auction it off.
