White lady begging on Russian Blvd.
She's from Ukraine. Saying it to stop speculations about her nationality.
I saw her once near my previous place where I lived in TTP area. She was begging for money at the traffic light. I was surprised to see a Caucasian beggar so I decided to approach her and chat. She didn't speak good English (I'm fact she struggled to explain anything) but her accent seemed like she might be Eastern European.
Since I'm from Russia and she turned out Ukrainian we communicated in Russian.
She made me quite mad when she said in English that they're traveling and they need money. So reading all the comments above I can understand your feelings. But as we chatted in her native language she was able to explain that it's not that they're traveling now. How can anyone travel if you even think of if? She and her boyfriend were struggling to stay afloat as the borders closed and they had no money to return back to Ukraine. They also had little money to live in Phnom Penh. So they had nothing left but to beg in the streets.
Trust me, her English was way too poor to find a job here. Needless to say, she speaks no Khmer either.
There's no Ukrainian embassy here, so there's nowhere they can go and get the legal help for free. The Russian embassy won't deal with them due to unstable political relations between two countries.
To sum up, I only chatted with her once half a year ago. And to be honest it seemed quite real and not staged. However, everything is possible and it can easily turn out their normal lifestyle. I think I believed her story rather than not.

Well this explanation makes it more difficult to be mean to her but I'm sure people will persevere.Ilya wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 5:10 pmShe's from Ukraine. Saying it to stop speculations about her nationality.

I can recall a group of dirty teenagers begging on a North American city street with a tattered, hard to read sign, "Money for Beer!" i appreciated the honesty, so gave them a buck.
As another poster said, there are worse ways to make cash. begging isn't stealing.

I bumped into her once, and she started giving me her sob story.
I said, “ Hey, stop, Crimea river.”

I actually encountered this individual claiming to be from Ukraine and said her name was ''Anna'' She told and showed me she was actually doing pretty well in cryptocurrency. Knew her for roughly a month, then my best friend kind of got with her and she made up some serious lies about me getting to get with her behind my best friends back. Even going as far as photoshopping fake Telegram conversations about ''me'' talking shit about my best friend. AVOID AT ALL COSTS, DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING.
I don't give a fuck if they are local or foreign beggars.
I don't like when beggars are scammers and this woman looks like a gym goer with a hairstyle and haircolour, not the destitute "stranded traveler" she and her jockey have been hamming it up as for what feels like years now.
Kick her in the ghoul
