Unfortunately, I have repeatedly had to remind everyone that radiation knows no state borders and who it will hit is determined only by the wind direction.

We are sharing all available information with our partners - everyone in the world. All the evidence. Europe, America, China, Brazil, India, the Arab world, Africa - all countries, absolutely everyone should know this. International organizations. All of them.

There should never be any terrorist attacks on nuclear power plants anywhere. This time it shouldn't be like Kakhovka: the world has been warned, so the world can and should act."

Probably russia's last roll of the dice, to destroy the plant & play point the finger game to follow.

UN adds Russia to list of shame for killing children in Ukraine
By Michelle Nichols
June 22, 202311:35 AM EDTUpdated 8 hours ago

UNITED NATIONS, June 22 (Reuters) - United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called out Russia on Thursday for killing 136 children in Ukraine in 2022, adding its armed forces to a global list of offenders, according to a report to the U.N. Security Council seen by Reuters.

The United Nations also verified that Russian armed forces and affiliated groups maimed 518 children and carried out 480 attacks on schools and hospitals. Russian armed forces also used 91 children as human shields, according to the report.

Russia has denied targeting civilians since it invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022.

The report also verified that Ukrainian armed forces killed 80 children, maimed 175 children and carried out 212 attacks on schools and hospitals. The Ukrainian armed forces are not on the global offenders list.

Guterres said in the report that he was "particularly shocked" by the high number of children killed and maimed and attacks on schools and hospitals by Russian armed forces.

He also said he was "particularly disturbed" by the high number of such offenses against children by Ukrainian armed forces.

Russia's mission to the United Nations in New York did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the report.

Guterres' annual report to the 15-member Security Council on children and armed conflict covers the killing, maiming, sexual abuse, abduction or recruitment of children, denial of aid access and targeting of schools and hospitals.

The report was compiled by Virginia Gamba, Guterres' special representative for children and armed conflict.

Gamba last month visited Ukraine and Russia, where she met with Russia's envoy for children's rights, Maria Lvova-Belova - whom the International Criminal Court wants to arrest on war crimes charges.

The International Criminal Court last month issued an arrest warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin and Lvova-Belova, accusing them of illegally deporting children from Ukraine and the unlawful transfer of people to Russia from Ukraine since Russia invaded on Feb. 24, 2022.

Moscow said the warrants were legally void as Russia was not a signatory to the treaty that established the ICC.

The U.N. report on children and armed conflict verified the abduction of 91 children by Russian armed forces; all of them were subsequently released. The report also verified the transfer of 46 children to Russia from Ukraine.

Moscow has not concealed a program under which it has brought thousands of Ukrainian children to Russia, but presents it as a humanitarian campaign to protect orphans and children abandoned in the war zone.

CONTROVERSIAL LIST

The report on children and armed conflict includes the list intended to shame parties to conflicts in the hope of pushing them to implement measures to protect children. It has long been controversial, with diplomats saying Saudi Arabia and Israel exerted pressure in recent years in a bid to stay off the list.

Israel has never been on the list, while a Saudi-led military coalition was removed from the list in 2020 several years after it was first named for killing and injuring children in Yemen.

In an effort to dampen controversy surrounding the report, the list released in 2017 by Guterres was split into two categories. One lists parties that have put in place measures to protect children and the other includes parties that have not.

Russia was placed on the list of parties that have put in place measures aimed at improving the protection of children.

The report found that Israeli forces killed 42 children and injured 933 children in 2022. Israel is not the offenders list.

"I note a meaningful decrease in the number of children killed by Israeli forces, including by air strikes," Guterres wrote. "Nevertheless, I remain deeply concerned by the number of children killed and maimed by Israeli forces."

The report overall verified that 24,300 violations had been committed against children in 2022.

The most violations were verified in Democratic Republic of Congo, Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories, Somalia, Syria, Ukraine, Afghanistan and Yemen.

"While non-state armed groups were responsible for 50% of the grave violations, government forces were the main perpetrator of the killing and maiming of children, attacks on schools and hospitals, and the denial of humanitarian access," Guterres said in the report.

Public Hanging comes to mind !

1️⃣ "Prigozhin explained why his information about the situation on the frontlines is so different from official statements.

"They are bringing total, shameless bullshit to the president's desk!" - he said.

He continues finding new ways to blame and undermine Shoigu - this time suggesting he gives false information to Putin."

2️⃣ ""Red lines have been absent for us for a long time, all that's left are brown stripes on underwear" - terrorist Prigozhin "poetically" comments the strike on Chonhar bridge.

According to him, no one cares about victory in the Russian defense ministry. Their main goal is to retain power."

Russian priest who advised women to bear more children and send them to war dies in Ukraine.

Mikhail Vasiliev, a Russian priest famous for recently saying that if women in Russia bore more children it would be easier for them to send their sons away to fight, died in the war in Ukraine on 6 November.

The ROC said Vasiliev, as a priest, had travelled on missions to "hot spots" and participated in "peacekeeping operations" in Kosovo, Bosnia, Abkhazia, Kyrgyzstan, the North Caucasus and Syria.

He was the archpriest of the church of St. Barbara the Great Martyr and the Venerable Ilya Muromets, the garrison church of the Strategic Rocket Forces of the Russian Armed Forces in Vlasikha, Moscow Oblast.

The Insider reported that Vasiliev had expressed the opinion - speaking live on the Spas (Saviour) TV channel in October - that if women in Russia had more children, it would be easier for them to send their sons to war.

The presenter had told him about a woman who hid her son in the Canary Islands to avoid mobilisation.

"The Lord has allowed each lady to give birth to many children. And if a lady, fulfilling this commandment to ‘be fruitful and multiply’, refused to use artificial pregnancy termination methods, in the widest sense, then obviously she would have more than one child.

And therefore, she would not find it so painful and terrifying to part with her child, even for a while. The devil is not so terrible as he is painted. Whom God helps, nobody can harm," the Russian priest said.

The Lebensborn program was designed by the SS to increase Germany’s declining birthrate. It was originally intended to provide pregnant “Aryan” women with financial assistance, adoption services, and a series of private maternity homes where they could give birth.

The SS hoped to stimulate the growth of a strong, “racially elite” German population to advance Nazi goals of conquering and colonizing the territories of Eastern Europe.

By the end of World War II, Lebensborn became involved in the Nazi regime’s systematic kidnapping of thousands of “biologically valuable” foreign children to be raised in German homes.

I almost see a pattern.
Glad he was killed.

Then there's this. Putin revived it adding a payment of 1 million rubles. I was told by someone here that it's comparable to the WIC (women infant children's) program in the states that provides pregnant mother and young children food vouchers for basic grocery food, such as milk, cheese, eggs, juice, etc. A program comparable to welfare.

Mother Heroine
Mother Heroine (Russian: Мать-героиня, Mat'-geroinya) is an honorary title that was used in the Soviet Union and now Russia, awarded for bearing and raising a large family. The state's intent was not only to honor such large families, but also to increase financial assistance for pregnant women, mothers of large families, and single mothers, and to promote an increased level of health in mother and child. The award was established in 1944 and continued to exist until the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. On 15 August 2022 Vladimir Putin signed a decree reviving the honorary title.

Award history
The honorary title "Mother Heroine" was established on 8 July 1944 by Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet. Its statute, including multiple increases in available state pensions for these families or single mothers, was amended 15 times from its original establishment until the last amendment contained in Decree number 20 of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of 7 May 1986.

Award statute
The honorary title "Mother Heroine" was awarded to mothers bearing and raising 10 or more children. The title was accompanied by the bestowal of the Order "Mother Heroine" and a certificate conferred by the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union. It was awarded upon the first birthday of the last child, provided that nine other children (natural or adopted) remained alive. Children who had perished under heroic, military or other respectable circumstances, including occupational diseases, were also counted. The award was created simultaneously with the Order of Maternal Glory (Russian: Орден "Материнская слава") and the Maternity Medal (Russian: Медаль материнства), intended for women with five to nine children.

They were also entitled to a number of privileges in terms of retirement pension, the payment of public utility charges, and the supply of food and other goods.

Approximately 430,000 women were awarded this title during its existence.

If worn with honorary titles of the Russian Federation, the latter have precedence.

Lots of Prigozhin drama going on today. All of the related media/info is in it's own thread heree: https://www.documentingreality.com/f...-vs-rf-245956/

"Terrorist Girkin: Prigozhin is lying, attempting to recruit all "angry patriots" to his side (that is, away from Girkin). Russian oligarchs desire to surrender, not conquer Ukraine."



"Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said (https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/po...article-747339) that Israel is afraid to provide weapons to Ukraine because it could fall into the hands of the Russians and then Iran.

Another reason he cited was the close military border with Russia.

"Our pilots are flying next to Russian pilots in the skies over Syria. And I think it's important that we maintain our freedom of action against Iran's attempts to deploy militarily on our northern border," Netanyahu said.

According to him, the heads of Western states "understand that Israel is in a different situation than any of them.""



"The Russians have reopened the Soviet spy center Lourdes in Cuba, in the suburbs of Havana, which was officially closed in 2001. An investigation by The Insider claims (https://theins.ru/politika/262717) that its main task was to spy on the United States.

"Listeners" from the GRU and graduates of universities related to rocketry, computer science, and exact mathematics are secretly transferred to the island under the guise of diplomats. There are already intelligence officers on the island who specialize in electronic intelligence.

They can intercept data from American communications satellites, telephone conversations, messages from NASA's mission control center, and much more.

Earlier, Western media reported (https://www.wsj.com/articles/cuba-to...n-u-s-b2fed0e0) that China was opening an intelligence base in Cuba. The goals are the same: to spy on the United States. Official Beijing denies it."

"Russian "military bloggers" started telling their audience Russia doesn't really need the parts of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions it currently controls.

Below is a translation of a Telegram post a Russian blogger wrote.

"What was the value of the territory on the left bank of Dnipro river that we call Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions?

- agriculture - after the reservoir and the irrigation system dry up, it will wither
- supplying water to Crimea through the North Crimean canal - obvious
- Zaporizhzhia NPP - stopped, high likelihood of a catastrophe
- land corridor to Crimea - under strikes
- shore line with recreation and port complexes - no chances to get it up and running in wartime

You'll say people? Well, to be honest, I haven't noticed them being some significant value" "




"Concentration camps are officially being established in the "DPR".

They are officially called a "temporary detention center for violators of Russian migration law who are being prepared for deportation."

People who do not have Russian citizenship will be held in these camps - those Ukrainians who refused to obtain Russian passports.

The decree on this was signed by so-called "head of the DPR" Denis Pushilin.

Similar "locations" have been in effect since 2014 in Russia as well. (Ever since the beginning of Russian military aggression against Ukraine)."

"The "great Russian diplomat" Dmitriy Medvedev writes the following (translation of his text below). What can I say? That's the kind of things people say when they are cornered and don't see any future for them (outside of prison).

"Polish scum named "Duda" offered to shoot Russia like a rabid animal.

And someone still hopes for negotiations with such bastards?

There is no sense in that. Even a cartridge should not be wasted for such a shit. In the 18th century, this animal would simply be brought to Red Square and brutally executed by quartering. But we are humanists. We will take revenge in another way.""



"How many Putins are there?

On 22 June, 2023 there has been a mix-up of Putin's doubles, officially noted by the Russian media and on the Kremlin's official website.

During a live broadcast of the meeting with members of the Russian Security Council, led by the real Vladimir Putin, another Putin lay down a wreath at the Unknown Soldier's grave and visited victory museum. At the same time Putin had a meeting with Qatar Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani.

The video is a visual representation of Putins' timeline."

Now the news is about 30,000 armed and hardened Wagners are moving around the countryside ... these crazies will do far more damage than the 32,000 pardoned criminals already expected to rape, rob, and murder. The current Wagners have weapons!

Fricking Russian govt deserves this. I feel for the ordinary people.
