What happens to a child taken from Ukraine?

Oggi ho il piacere di annunciarvi che il “corridoio terrestre” verso la Crimea, che i russi chiamano “rotta di Novorossiya”, è stato ufficialmente chiuso.

Le autorità d’occupazione hanno esteso, “fino a nuovo avviso”, il divieto di transito per i veicoli civili su praticamente tutta l’estensione di questa strada che ora si trova costantemente sotto tiro ucraino.

Complimenti agli ucraini e a tutti i contribuenti europei: è un risultato davvero importante, strategico oserei dire.

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

This is a major breakthrough for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

@MargoGontar I’m so sorry for your loss 😿💙

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today, the Russians again struck the special territory around the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. A “shahed” hit one of the buildings of the Centralized Spent Fuel Storage Facility. An extremely critical infrastructure facility – and an extremely vile Russian strike. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, the Ministry of Energy, and all our services are already working to ensure that each of our partners knows what has happened.

Russia deliberately struck this particular nuclear infrastructure facility. As of now, there are no readings exceeding normal background radiation levels. But there is certainly an increase in Russia’s brazenness, which long ago went off the charts. Ukrainian first responders extinguished the fire at this facility after the strike. And real new steps by the world are needed so that the Russians feel that this terrorist war of theirs is a blow to Russia itself.

Last night, there were also Russian strikes on other civilian facilities in 13 of our regions. In total, over the course of this past week, Russia launched 88 missiles, more than 3,250 attack drones, and around 1,800 guided aerial bombs against Ukraine. Pressure on Russia must be increased. Thank you to everyone who’s helping!

Albania has officially drawn the
line, Sazan 'lsland is being cleared. In an stunning turn of events, Albanian authorities have
launched an active enforcement operation to kick
out foreign developers and private security
personnel occupying Sazan Island. The decisive
action marks a total collapse of the controversial €1.4 billion luxury real estate deal that aimed to turn the protected national marine reserve and
former military base into an exclusive private playground for global elites,
The eviction comes after four consecutive weeks of historic
hundred-thousand-strong protests that completely
shut down the capital city of Tirana, refusing to allow their native coastlines and ecologically sensitive wetlands to be privatized by foreign
investors, the Albanian public unified under a
single, unyielding demand: "Albania is not for sale, the courts faced with a historic political crisis, mounting
domestic fury, and a widening anti-corruption
investigation by special prosecutors (SPAK), the
government was forced to pivot, by deploying state forces to reclaim Sazan lsland, Albania has
sent a clear message to international billionaires
and foreign developers trying to bypass environmental protection laws, This historic victory for citizen-led activism proves that the collective voice of a nation can successfully overpower backroom corporate deals and protect sovereign land.
The people spoke, and the
government had to listen.

Birds in Donetsk are using fiber-optic drone wire to build their nests...

[Yaroslava @strategywoman]

Three years ago, russia destroyed the Kakhovka Dam.

The flood badly damaged Polina Raiko’s painted house in occupied Oleshky.

She began painting at 69 and turned her home into art.

The video shows a reconstruction of the house, created for the Ukraine WOW exhibition.

Apocalyptic bird nest.

Russia is deliberately destroying natural habitats, as well as injuring and killing animals in Ukraine.

This is ecocide, and Russia has to be held accountable for it.

russians just struck a baby food factory near Kyiv.

Yagotynske for Children — the plant that produces milk and food for Ukrainian infants and small children.

4 killed. More may still be under the rubble.

This isn’t war.
It’s the deliberate killing of civilians who feed Ukrainian babies. Pure evil.

It's time to close the loophole that feeds Irish raw materials from Limerick to Russia’s military industry.

It's time for effective EU sanctions.

BREAKING: The House passed a measure to provide almost $2 billion in aid to Ukraine and impose new sanctions against Russia on Thursday, sending the measure to the Senate behind a 226-to-195 tally — despite GOP leadership in full opposition to the measure. https://t.co/uP35odkdJt

First Irish politician out of the traps to call for Aughinish Alumina to stop sending material to Russia. This is going to snowball over the weekend once other revelations about the plant come out.

[Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ @RepDonBacon]

🚨 The House just passed the Ukraine Support Act by a vote of 226-195 to provide military aid to Ukraine and impose tough sanctions on Russia.

💔 She lost her husband. She lost her two sons and her daughter. She survived carrying their fourth child.

On February 10, a Russian strike on Bohodukhiv in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region killed Hryhorii Shykula and the couple’s three young children - two-year-old twins Ivan and Vladyslav, and one-year-old daughter Myroslava.

Hryhorii was a Ukrainian veteran who had returned home from the war after losing a leg in service.

His wife, Olha, survived. She was pregnant with their fourth child.

Today, she stands alone where a family of six should have stood together.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Irish politicians are avoiding questions about Aughinish. Patrick O’Donovan refuses to answer my calls. The refinery is in his constituency

He says the Russian owned plant is not connected to Russia’s war machine, without showing evidence. They want this to blow over. It won’t

[Chris Lancaster @ChrisLancasterX]

This Caolan dude doesn't let up. He doesn't just mention a story and then move on. He puts in the work and does a full investigation. Our American media could learn a thing or two from him.
This is an update to the story about Irish Aluminum going to Russia.
