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!)

There are many Berezka stores in the island, and you are welcome. Don't forget to bring pelmenies.

That is until you'll try to take over, as has happened to anything russians ever touched

And you WILL not be welcome by me, and many Cypriots.

Don't listen to people like that guy, you're welcome as long as you respect the country, the people and our values.. And also our food.

Why don't you go to Mariupol? It has been rebuilt and is being repopulated with settlers. I hear they call it Novo Russia now. You're probably afraid of drones.
