“Humanitarian Aid” Delivered to Russian Embassy

On the anniversary of the Kerch Strait incident activists “add” to what Russia stripped from navy vessels returned to Ukraine.

Politics and Humor – In Kyiv, Ukrainian activists collected what they called “humanitarian aid to Russia”. They brought toilets and toilet paper to the Russian Embassy — on the anniversary of the Kerch Strait incident.

“We were really impressed, maybe amazed, by behavior of our Russian neighbors, of their barbarian behavior. Because almost everything in our ships was stolen. And we thought that maybe the reason why they did it was because they need help. So we discussed maybe two days ago ‘hey, let’s go and help them,’” rally organizer, Anatoliy Didyk, said.

Exactly a year ago Russia seized 3 Ukrainian Navy vessels with 24 sailors and a dog on board. The sailors were released as part of a larger prisoner exchange in September this year.

The vessels were finally returned to Ukraine last week. But before doing so, Russia stripped them of all valuable equipment — from weapons and electronics, to light bulbs and even toilets. This prompted today’s unusual protest.

Another protester said, “We came here to show the thieves from Russian Federation that if they don’t have any kinds of items of hygiene like the toilet paper, tiolet seats and even the toilets, then we can help them. So even for those who we consider our enemies — we should help, and it’s like that.”

    Lol! That’s just a great idea! This should be in the news around the world. I can think of hardly anything more embarrassing for those Moscow crooks.

    • Ukraine should contact all the Embassies in the world, and have a collection for Russians. Donate any spare toilet paper or toilets you have, all donations readily accepted. Send donations to the nearest Russian Embassy.

  2. What a nice gesture. Maybe we should offer Russia a deal – the return of the occupied territories in exchange for 140 million toilet bowls …
