International students fleeing the Russian war on Ukraine; experienced racial discrimination and went through a very rough journey, crossing borders into some European countries where they now take refuge.

These students are going through what might probably be the worst times in their lives, there are videos making the rounds on social media, of some students still trapped in Ukraine and begging to be evacuated.

Students who have lost almost everything, school fees paid, properties left behind and not sure of what is next with their life and education. and now the European Union is adding more burden to their situation, asking these students to go back to their country of origin, most of these students are from the so-called “third world countries” and we know what the situation is in these countries.
