Kulyk legally entered the U.S. in late 2023 along with his wife, 38, and daughter, who’s now 5. The family was sponsored by U.S. citizens as part of the Uniting 4 Ukraine program, a humanitarian program set up in April 2022 to allow Ukrainians fleeing Russia’s war to live and work in the U.S. on “parole.”
Once the initial two-year parole period expires, entrants can file for re-parole to remain in the country longer. That’s exactly what Kulyk says he did. His wife and daughter’s applications were approved. But his remained pending.
He said he was putting groceries in his car on Jan. 1 when he was approached by three ICE agents.
“I explained to the ICE officers that the war was killing people, that my wife had a disability, that it was violence, terrorism which we had escaped from but one of them began to laugh,” Kulyk told The Daily Beast. “I asked why he was laughing and I was told that he was pro-Russian, wanted Russia to win the war.”
Heck they only got the job because as one of putins referal getting them to the top of the list.
Trumps goons are pro Russia? That surprises no one.
I bet Putin has video of Trump banging a guy … thus explaining his pro Russia stance.
Seems more likely they’re business partners in a criminal empire that includes child sex-trafficking, likely using DONT’s “modeling” agencies to move or entrap victims
American conservatism has an ideological bromance with Russia.
- violent suppression of LGBT
- systemic racism
- patriarchal values, domestic violence
- subservience to (state controlled) church
- nationalist chauvinism
- wars of plunder
They haven’t read foundations of geopolitics
I bet Putin has video of Trump banging a guy
This is such a bizarre take, given that we have mountains of compromat released through the Epstein files, plus all his sex scandals dating back to the 1970s. None of them indicate that
a) He’s sexually attracted to men
or
b) Revealing any amount of his habitual pedophilia of women affects how he governs
Trump isn’t hard to control. Anyone and everyone with two shillings to rub together has been able to bribe him. But liberals need to believe he’s a closeted homosexual for some reason.
“habitual pedophilia of women” isn’t a thing that exists. Children aren’t women.
Did you miss the weird “blowing Bubba” comments in the files?
Because I didnt.
It’s horrifying to say, but while Trump boasts he could shoot someone on the street and still be popular, it only takes one passing transwoman to pull that rug out from under him. You think he’s chromosome-testing every trafficked woman on his private jets?
You think he’s chromosome-testing every trafficked woman on his private jets?
I don’t think it matters in any meaningful way. You’re pointing to court gossip like it affects national policy.
Well I’m not, I’m not the person you were responding to.
But your absolute confidence that it hasn’t happened is somewhat undermined as I’d bet that being provided witg dozens if not hundreds of random, suffering women and raping them without a second thought increases the chances of having had sex with a transwoman, not decreases it.
But your absolute confidence that it hasn’t happened
Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Proof
“I asked why he was laughing and I was told that he was pro-Russian, wanted Russia to win the war.”
Not surprised at all.
I think some ICE goons should be deported to Russia, let’s see how they like being conscripted when they get there.
Every single story I read about US Americans moving to Russia because they think Russia is so much better is always a hilarious read. I particularly liked the black woman who thought there wasn’t racism in Russia. 🤣🤣🤣
Holy shit, that’s not just putting your face in the leopards mouth that’s crawling into it’s stomach as hard as you can.
Is it possible that some of them are hired Russian mercenaries?
Doubtful, Russia needs all their men for war.
it also doesn’t make sense.
“I want russia to win the war,that’s why I’m sending reinforcements to ukraine”
They want immigrants out more. You know take care of byour own house first.
They’re not thinking that far ahead and likely give zero shits either way.
I bet they chose to tell this guy they support Russia just to make arresting this guy more abusive.
Russiaboos think that no amount of bodies or western equipment is actually hurting Russia, only delaying the inevitable complete capitulation. He’s happy he gets to, in his eyes, send a Ukrainian to die pointlessly.
I hate these fucking fascists.
If america ever has a brief moment of intelligence. And asks itself if we are the bad guy. Ya. You are. And it’s not a new thing. You have been the bad guy a long time. Things like this is just a small symptom. The internal rot is now showing through the propaganda and flag you have been trying to cover it with.
Talking about America or any country as a single organism with just one train of thought is unproductive.
Americans are bifurcated between “people who want to nuke Moscow” and “people who think Stepan Bandera didn’t go far enough”.
But just like with Vietnam, there’s vanishingly little compassion afforded anyone in the region. It’s all just “I hope more of the other team dies”
They think Rambo is a documentary
I mean, First Blood was loosely based on real-life World War II veteran Audie Murphy’s struggles with PTSD. And it was further informed by the deplorable treatment of protesters at the hands of local police and national guard - many of them returning veterans - during the Vietnam War. The original novel was intended to juxtapose this initial horrifying abuse of a homeless American veteran with the events happening half a world away by a US-sponsored dictatorship.
But reactionaries always forget the first film and fixate on the next four, because it lets Rambo embody the mythological special forces superhuman rather than the Vietcong revolutionary resisting imperial oppression.
Yup. American.
To fellow Ukrainians who haven’t realized this yet: migrants are not “they”, it’s our friends and family, and making any migration means-tested and bureaucratic is bullshit that will make “illegals” out of random people, out of you, and cause great suffering. Let’s build international solidarity with migrants and refugees from all countries, in all countries.
I know this is a serious story, but that headline had me wondering when the war got to Walmart.
I thought I was having a stroke.
Walmart is involved in the Ukraine war now?
No, this is the Georgia (country) / Georgia (US State) thing all over again.
Every US Walmart has a Ukraine inside of it, this particular one just happened to also be at war.
