Getting Out Before The Trouble Starts

I feel it shouldnt for the ones that could have got out

Many do not even have enough money to buy their bread, how do you think they can leave? Many are leaving the country, 4 days in line waiting to cross the border with Romania after 15 hours travel. Many of them are left without gas to continue their travel. Foreigners with money who stay are idiots, that is a different matter.

I also felt the exact way you wrote. It's sad that people don't care for things and get stuck at the end like many students stuck in Ukraine and special efforts are being made to take them out from there. The special operation was started in India to take out those students. Our prime minister declared that now no Indian is there in Ukraine. I read the report that one Indian student is killed in the war, no further details are known now.

If they were warned and decided to stay anyway, then they're on their own, in my opinion.

Many Filipinos chose to stay in Ukraine despite what’s happening because they said they’d be jobless in the Philippines if they ever come back

Noah warned the world for years, God was planning to flood the entire earth! Who listened to this warning? Noah, his wife, three sons and their wives. All the other people on earth perished!

Now that is a loaded question!! I think that they should leave if told to evacuate. God gave us common sense for that reason. So my answer would have to be no risking other's lives to save those that chose to stay when told to get out. We have the same thing happening here with hurricanes and evacuation orders for people along the coast. Many stay!

Many stay because they feel it is the right thing to do!!

It's sad. But I understand why they would want to stay. That is their home. Yes, they could leave, but there is no guarantee how far they could get to and if they are safe wherever they get to.

I guess, being human, some of them keep hoping the trouble will blow over.

It is sad when people wated to leave but could not and just face dangers to their lives.

I would never want to be in the position to pick and choose who gets rescued. And yes, if the visitor, students, etc were warned to get out, they should have heeded the warning.

I am hesitant to judge too harshly. I imagine there are some valid reasons for not having gotten out.

I think if you're a tourist just visiting short term, totally, yes, get out. That's on you. It's a little different for students I think. When you're a student (particularly looking at the number of African students in Ukraine who went there because it was their shot at getting out of bad situations in their own home countries), you're in your dorm and living among the people of that country for months at a time. You're on campus for longer stretches of time than you're at home. I can see how they could fall in love with the country of their education to the point where they do consider that to be their new home, where they intend to make it their home. I can see them wanting to stay and support or fight for that country. Or possibly if they were from a poorer nation or used all their money just to get to that country to get to that school, they may not have the funds to make it back home.
