“A couple of years ago, one of my friends moved from Ukraine to Moscow. He does a little business, received citizenship, and has not delved into politics.
Recently he decided to fly to Spain to look for an apartment. I wrote out a certificate of income for myself for a small amount - 150 rubles per month, received a visa to Schengen, as a Russian citizen, in four hours. I flew to Spain and got the cheapest mortgage there for half a million euros.
He says that if he had indicated more income, they would have given him one and a half, because they give money to Russians easily. Just think, he continues, if I showed them my Ukrainian passport at the bank? Yes, they sent me to wash the floor!
Here's a rogue country for you. What am I talking about? What I mean is that being Ukrainian is becoming more and more shameful. Not only in Russia but also in Europe,” says Dimitriev.
