Agreed, it's not in Ukraine's best interests at this point to welcome a larger Russian demographic that could just become problematic again in another generation.

But it is also in their best interests to do what they can to promote desertion and emigration of Russians. They should allow them in to either join the Russian partisans working in Ukraine or give them time to find asylum somewhere else. Honestly, Canada should be offering asylum to anyone not willing to fight for Putin. We do it for practically every other country in the world when they have similar situations.
