How can you talk about peace and [keep] attacking people, and knowing that people are freezing?
Russia isn't talking about peace.
The (obvious) hyprocricy is on the US that accept and disregard the whole situation while doing corruption talks in private and peace talk publicity.
Sadly, the EU does not take decisive action either, in the face of Russia's continued terrorism and Ukraine's human crisis.
What makes you think they got scammed with supposed investment, and not other types of scams?
