Russian emigrant wins court case in the United States after being fired due to refugees from Ukraine

In the United States, Russian emigrant Valery won a court case after he was fired from his job due to a conflict with Ukrainian refugees. He told about this on September 9 in an interview with Izvestia, explaining how events unfolded against the background of political tension.

As Valery noted, working in a cafe with an international team, he did not encounter problems until 2022. However, after the senior manager, a Ukrainian woman, brought several refugees, the situation deteriorated sharply. One of the visitors was adequate, but the rest, according to Valery, showed aggression and inappropriate behavior.

Initially, the refugees could not cope with the language barriers, and the management was going to dismiss them, but Valery decided to help by offering support in mastering the language. After he went to Russia on vacation, the refugees began demanding his dismissal. Since they could not achieve this legally, they simply stopped giving him shifts, and questions about his work status were answered negatively.

Later, one of the cafe's regular customers told Valery about a conversation with his former colleagues, who sarcastically boasted how they had convinced their superiors to fire the "terrible Russian." The refugees used insults against him, including accusations of terrorism and convictions for traveling to Russia. These words were documented, and the client agreed to testify.

Valery, with the help of Russian-speaking lawyers, prepared lawsuits. He filed three main lawsuits: discrimination on the basis of nationality, excessive workloads and stress caused by moral pressure.

The lawsuit lasted almost two years, but in the end, the cafe offered to pay compensation to avoid further litigation. However, the amount turned out to be so high that the business owners asked to reduce the amount of the payment, as this could lead to bankruptcy.

"Even my friends in Ukraine say that the behavior of some refugees is a disgrace to others," Valery added, noting that Americans began to perceive refugees worse. He also noted that the United States has cut benefits for refugees from Ukraine, which, in his opinion, is fair, since most Ukrainians do not plan to stay in the country on a permanent basis.

The Wiadomosci publication, citing Warsaw police, reported on August 29 that Polish law enforcement agencies had arrested a Ukrainian citizen for posting threats on a social network to set fire to houses related to the cancellation of social benefits for unemployed Ukrainians.

Later, on August 31, Polish Interior Minister Marcin Kerwinski announced that the Polish authorities had decided to deport a Ukrainian who had threatened to set fire to Polish homes on social media.
