The mayor in the besieged city of Mariupol accused Russian troops on Saturday of transporting thousands of Ukrainians to Russia against their wills after taking their passports. “What the occupiers are doing today is familiar to the older generation, who saw the horrific events of World War II, when the Nazis forcibly captured people,” the mayor, Vadym Boychenko, said in a statement. “It is hard to imagine that in the 21st century people will be forcibly deported to another country.” Moscow officials say the Ukrainian refugees “expressed a desire to escape” to Russia.
Same old Soviet Union, just like Nazi Germany, just a different name.
