@ SCRanjithA. It's not a bad idea to make money with comments, but then I would have to reveal my anonymity, which wouldn't be appropriate given the new online laws of the crooked Ranil regime.

They went on their own will, why all these unnecessary expenses on tax payers. Did tax payers asked them to go? Other developed countries disowned their citizens who went on volunteerly. These bankrupt politicians just wasting public money.

Why worry about these fellows who went to Russia? Does it mean you are going to send delegation to trace Sri Lankans who went all ove4 the world without your knowledge? Start with emigrants who went to prosperous countries of the world.

Sri Lanka should help RUSSIA to regain its territory; Ukraine, that was lost under the US PLOT during Gorbachev's regime. Ukraine is part of former USSR.
