Pre-dawn blasts in Kyiv set off a second day of violence after Russian President Vladimir Putin defied Western warnings to unleash a full-scale ground invasion and air assault on Thursday that quickly claimed dozens of lives and displaced at least 100,000 people.

Thailand’s Department of Employment has suspended travel permits for Thai labourers bound for Ukraine following the country’s declaration of state of emergency.

 

The department’s director, Pairoj Chotikasathien, said Friday that their offices across the country have also been ordered to inform Thai labourers intending to travel to Ukraine or Russia about the situation.

 

The director also warned Thais to not fall prey to scammers claiming to be able to send them to Ukraine, because travel permits are currently suspended and will remain so until the situation improves.

I have no knowledge on the numbers,

However,

The mental pic of Thai people working in the snow just doesn't compute?

<deleted>, last I'd read Thailand was telling its people to get the hell out of Ukraine.  Thai's in Russia had to decide on their own I'm guessing.
