#1 of my friends is a russian immigrant and he's mentioned before that at this point#basically every russian has ukrainian cousins/aunts/uncles and every ukrainian has russian cousins/aunts/uncles#and like here in america im mostly getting a fuckton of super nationalistic rhetoric and framing of the conflict#and like a lot of the new russian immigrants r fleeing because they want to avoid being drafted or having their sons drafted#and on a seperate but related note another 1 of my friends works in the school system in portland serving a lot of immigrant communities#and portland has a large russian AND ukrainian immigrant population#and all the russian and ukrainian refugees immigrating to portland due to the war has sparked new conflicts between the child refugees#like beyond the expected russian kids vs ukrainian kids#there's a major split in portland's ukrainian immigrant community thats also playing out in conflicts between elementery schoolchildren#and it has to do with ukrainians being friendly/in community with russians#cause like before the war russian + ukrainian migrants like shared info and resources and like basically had overlapping/shared communities#but a lot of the new waves of ukrainian migrants see this sort of dynamic between russians and ukrainian as like betrayal or something idk
