Russia has kidnapped tens of thousands of Ukrainian children. Putin was indicted for this crime. Yale has a unit searching for them. Musk eliminated the funding.

Putin claims he kidnapped 700,000 Ukrainian children. These stolen children were taken to Russia to be forcibly adopted by wealthy people, who buy them.

What kind of monster would not want that to be investigated?

I wonder how many Ukrainians today would still host their email with Yandex, a Russian email provider? No doubt you would laugh: no Ukranian in their right mind would do that, considering Russia's behaviour, that's all over the news.

Now as a thought exercise: I wonder how many Canadians still think nothing of hosting their email with, say, Gmail or Hotmail? Is there any parallel there, considering the open language around annexing Canada? Might it be time to consider an #email migration to some other provider, not hosted on the soil of a country who wishes to annex yours?

#Ukraine journalist Stanislav Aseyev, imprisoned for 2 1/2 years by #Russia -backed separatists:

"I once received an electric shock during torture only for writing for Radio Liberty: I was told that it was 'a CIA structure and an enemy of Russia', and for that reason alone I was already guilty.

Now, the 'enemy of Russia' is being destroyed by America itself, and my torture seems doubly in vain"

On the night of March 17, 2025, 174 enemy UAVs attacked #Ukraine.

90 were shot down, and 70 imitator drones failed to reach targets.

The attack was repelled by Ukrainian forces, with impacts in Odesa, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Kirovohrad, Sumy, Chernihiv, and Kyiv regions.

“A massive spike” of applications, according to an international serviceman involved in recruiting. The source, who spoke anonymously due to his unit’s regulations, said that a few thousand applications came in after the Oval Office meeting, with “a significant number of guys expressing outrage and shock over what has been happening with the shift in american policy.”
