questioning a number of South Asian men claiming to be 60-year-old Ukrainian refugees has gone viral, with the footage prompting questions about the people being given asylum in Western Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Over <a href=\"https:\/\/data2.unhcr.org\/en\/situations\/ukraine\">3.8 million people<\/a> have left Ukraine since Russia\u2019s renewed invasion of the state late last month, with up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/europe\/2022\/03\/22\/airlift-in-solidarity-germany-demands-america-take-in-more-ukrainian-refugees\/\">200,000<\/a> fleeing the country expected to end up in Ireland, according to the EU member-state\u2019s officials.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>This is roughly equivalent to four per cent of the national population \u2014 similar to the United States taking in 13.2 million refugees, for example.<\/p>\n<p>However, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CDtleGir0iU\">impromptu interview<\/a> conducted by former National Party member Philip Dwyer and uploaded online has prompted questions as to the true origins of some of those claiming asylum in Ireland.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>In footage <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/PhilipDwyerMOI\/792\">posted<\/a> to the journalist\u2019s Telegram and YouTube channel, Dwyer approaches a number of South Asian men who claim to be Ukrainian citizens who originally came from elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re just nationals of Ukraine,\u201d one man in the footage claims. \u201cBy origin, we are from\u2026 Kashmir.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dwyer goes on to quiz the men on whether or not they were asked to \u201cstay and fight for Ukraine\u201d, with it being\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/global-development\/2022\/mar\/09\/ukraine-urged-to-take-humane-approach-as-men-try-to-flee-war\">reported<\/a> that men between the ages of 18-60 are forbidden from leaving the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo,\u201d the man replied emphatically. \u201cWe are 60 years [old].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re very young looking for your age, if you don\u2019t mind me saying so,\u201d Dwyer said in response. \u201cThis man here looks very young for 60.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>The footage uploaded by Dwyer has prompted significant criticism from commenters online, with many expressing confusion about the exact nature of those entering Ireland from Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Others have openly expressed scepticism as to whether the men are actually Ukrainian nationals over 60 years of age.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;[T]oday a
