Two Ukrainian servicemen were stabbed to death at a shopping center in southern Germany Saturday evening, by a suspected Russian national, German and Ukrainian authorities say.

German police say a 36-year-old man died on the scene in the city of Murnau, and a 23-year-old man died later that evening at a nearby hospital.

Both Ukrainian men were residents of the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and had been in Germany undergoing medical rehabilitation.

A 57-year-old suspected Russian national was arrested at his home not far from the scene, according to German authorities.

A criminal investigation is underway for the suspected double murder.

      Are you seriously trying to suggest that every Russian immigrant in Europe is a potential murderer?

          It’s also the sort of thing that is often said of groups like Roma. “They’re all murderers and thieves.”

          Racism is discrimination and prejudice against people based on their race or ethnicity.

          Not only racist but also uneducated, no surprise here.

      Some of them have been living here for a long time and have contributed to our society. Assuming all of them to be bad people is just flat out wrong.

      I understand the disapproval of what is happening right now. But i too have russian friends who are completely opposed to the war and in some cases try to help ukrainians who have to flee.
