US authorities intend to start deporting Ukrainians — The Washington Post

The administration of US President Donald Trump is preparing to begin expelling Ukrainians to their homeland, where men can be mobilized, Ukrainian Ambassador Olga Stefanishina said she was aware of "about 80 citizens of Ukraine." About this today, November 14, writes The Washington Post.

The expulsion decisions were made "in connection with violations of US law." The US authorities are already preparing their route, "given the lack of direct international air traffic with Ukraine." Many are scheduled to be sent as early as November 17. According to the lawyers, Ukrainians will be deported by military flights to Poland.

"The United States can deport as many as they want," Vladimir Zelensky's adviser said anonymously. — We will find a worthy use for them. People have something to do."

The lawyers are concerned that Ukrainians are not given the opportunity to challenge the expulsion, although "the deportees will be forcibly drafted into the army and sent to the front, where they face a high probability of death." They also talk about the threat of shelling, torture and persecution.

Moreover, many deportees are not even given the opportunity to undergo the mandatory "reasonable fear interview" procedure — that is, to declare their fear of returning to a country where they may face a front or "persecution by the authorities."
