A Ukrainian child disappears from occupied Mariupol.
Years later, he appears on russian television wearing a naval cadet uniform beneath a russian flag.
The theft, deportation, and forced russification of Ukrainian children is one of russiaโs war crimes and one of the clearest examples of its genocidal campaign against Ukraine.

Rybar confrims successful #Ukraine counterattacks north of Lyman:
On the Liman direction, the situation on the northern flank is worsening, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine have occupied several forest strips on the border of Shandrigolovo - Lipovoe and the eastern flank.
Bunker Boy Putin has pulled away air defence systems to protect his residence at Valdai, leaving strategic assets of the russian terrorist state unprotected.
Ukrainian defenders took the opportunity to hit the oil refinery in Samara region again.
The Ukrainian company "Fire Point" plans to begin serial production of a lower-cost alternative to the Patriot system in August โ FT.
The company has conducted the first flight test of a new air-defense missile, the FP-7.x, which is being developed as a more affordable alternative to American air defense systems.
According to plans, the production rate is set to reach up to three missiles per day. Full deployment of the system is expected by 2027.
The FP-7.x is designed to intercept drones and ballistic targets; its estimated cost is significantly lower than that of Patriot PAC-3 missiles.
It should go without saying that no one from the Russian political or military apparatus and oligarchic elements tied to them, including their immediate family, whether high up or the lowest servant, should ever be allowed to travel to any European country or own any kind of property there. It's absurd that the EU is discussing a ban on Russian soldiers or veterans entering the Schengen zone in 2026. This should've been in the first sanctions package.
"Huge holes in the Russian air defense system, as relatively simple cruise missiles flew directly from Ukrainian territory, spending at least an hour and a quarter in the air.
They did not have a low-altitude flight mode to avoid terrain obstacles. Yet they were not detected, intercepted by fighter jets, or shot down by air defense systems. This means that without radars in the air, the Russian air defense system is ineffective.
Now, a huge threat looms over our oil refineries and petroleum terminals."
-Russian milblogger Maxim Kalishnikov
We continue to apply Ukrainian long-range sanctions against Russian military facilities and the oil industry. In particular, last night Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingos struck a military plant in Cheboksary that supplies the occupierโs army with components for drones and missiles. I thank the Armed Forces of Ukraine for their precision! The Kuibyshev oil refinery in the Samara region was also hit last night. The distance from the frontline is more than 900 kilometers. I am grateful to the warriors of the Special Operations Forces, the Unmanned Systems Forces, and the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine. The entirely just responses of the Security Service of Ukraine also reached two oil infrastructure facilities in the Vladimir region, at a distance of 700 kilometers. I thank everyone who fights and works for Ukraine!
Ukrainian strike on Mariupol port. It significantly impacts Russia's ability to use the port in Russian-occupied Mariupol and will complicate the logistics of the Russian troops.
Electrical substations, radar equipment, repair infrastructure, a control tower and tanks with fuel and lubricants were hit, as well as the sanctioned dry cargo ship "Lady Augusta", which is part of the Russian shadow fleet.
This joint operation was carried out by the 1st Corps of the Azov Naval Group, the Security Service of Ukraine, the Central Military "A" District and the Unmanned Systems Forces.
