Let’s be more precise with our language. Russia is “kidnapping”Ukrainian children. “Deporting” does not adequately describe Russia’s actions. Up to 16,000 Ukrainian children have been taken by the Putin regime according to the Zelensky government. nytimes.com/2023/03/18/wor…

Well this didn’t quite go to plan, did it? 😂

Putin is scheduled to attend the BRICS summit in South Africa in August. South Africa, as a member of ICC and a signatory of the Treaty of Rome, will have a legal obligation to enforce the ICC arrest warrant against him. (Note: SA refused to arrest Omar al-Bashir in 2015.)

Here's my take for The Washington Post on what's at stake as Kosovo and Serbia enter a delicate new round of talks towards a normalisation agreement. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…

Sickening: The Commissioner for Children's Rights of Russia Maria Lvova-Belova commented on the news about the warrant for her arrest:

“It's great that the international community has appreciated the work to help the children of our country,”

'For the last 22 years, everyone has been tip toeing around Putin.'

Putin's arrest warrant is a 'watershed moment' for the international community, says Bill Browder.

Как школы и детсады (!) празднуют «Крымскую весну»

Сегодня 9 лет с аннексии Крыма. Так называемая «Крымская весна» стала официальным праздником в школах и даже детских садах — по масштабам мероприятие можно сравнивать с 9 мая и 23 февраля.

First Putin, now Trump. Turning out to be a good week for legal process and a bad week to be a ruthless authoritarian.

Can the NHL NOW start rethinking its relationship with Putin fanboy Alexander #Ovechkin ?

(Since apparently the genocide itself isn't enough...)
