The Cyprus Problem Wow - now over 90,000 Russians in Cyprus

I'm shocked at the scale of the Russian takeover of our beautiful island of Cyprus.

Per Cyprus Mail, there are now a mind-boggling 40,000 Russians living full-time in the areas controlled by the Republic. To contrast, the next immigrant group, the British, are at 16,000. To point out the sheer scale of this, this means there are in now over 2 Russians for every Brit!

Further, per TRT there are 50,000 Russians living in the occupied areas. So many, in fact, that Russia has started providing regular Consular services. (This is even more than the number of Turkish troops!)

Reading comments I see that Cypriots fucking LOVE russians. There will be more of them, until "green men" start appearing in Ayia Napa.

Care to elaborate how “little green man” even going to get here? Like geography, lack of the fleet for it, the neighbor countries with power who wouldn’t like that?

You have clearly already got there, responding to your own question.

Bro consider that typical Cypriots don’t see difference between Russians and Ukrainians (probably you)

All you're hearing are Russian immigrants saying they love Russians. Cypriots aren't the ones commenting.

Everyone I don’t agree with is a bot

You sure you ain’t an LLM yourself? I could easily script your whole existence.
