      Why? They were in Ukraine and from what I see they were allowed to stay 2 years in the EU. It’s shit they didn’t get to graduate but it’s not EU’s fault. They should apply for a university in the EU, I’m sure they can find a good uni to continue their studies.

        Let’s maybe also look at the fact that these are in fact European-educated students rather than just people with the wrong nationality. Throwing them out of the EU will not only generate ill will toward the EU but nearly universally be a loss to their former host country.

        Yeah, no. It is extremely difficult for non-EU non-EFTA citizens to study in the EU (or immigrate in general for any reason).

            You have an attitude towards them “sucks to be you, deal with it”

            My attitude is more like “man that’s really unfair they’re in this pickle to no fault of their own, and we have the ability and the means to help them to no disadvantage to us, let’s help them”

            I wonder if your feelings were different they were Canadians?
