Today’s harsh sentence against US journalist Evan Gershkovich to 16 years in prison, in the Russian Federation, is unjust & inhumane. Russian authorities should stop persecuting independent journalists & undermining freedom of media on abusive grounds US Consul General Strasbourg - Deputy Observer COE

I strongly condemn the Russian strike on a playground in Mykolaiv, including children among the victims. These war crimes will not go unpunished
