Russia Signals It Will Take More Ukrainian Children, a Crime in Progress​


KYIV, Ukraine — Russia’s abduction and deportation of Ukraine’s children since its invasion of the country was so well-documented and terrifying that when Russian forces prepared to withdraw from the southern city of Kherson last fall, doctors at a hospital there hurriedly hid babies and falsified their records.

When Russian soldiers arrived, the staff at Kherson Regional Hospital said the infants were too critically ill to move, Olha Pilyarska, head of its neonatal anesthesiology department, recalled in an interview Saturday.

“They put lung ventilation devices near all the children,” she said.

The efforts saved 14 babies from being swept up in a campaign that has systematically transferred thousands of Ukrainian children to Russia to be resettled in foster families and put on track to become Russian citizens. When the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for President Vladimir Putin of Russia on Friday over the forcible deportation of children, it was a powerful recognition of actions that have not only been carried out in full public view, but continue today.

Russian authorities, far from disguising the deportations, have put the children on display in Red Square photo-ops and at lavish concerts celebrating the war. They have also signaled that more deportations are on the way.

Forcibly transferring children from one national group to another with the intention to destroy the group can also amount to genocide, a charge that Kateryna Rashevska, a lawyer at the Regional Center for Human Rights, a Ukrainian organization that investigates the abduction of children, said she hoped would be the next step.

“They committed the crime in plain sight and expressed pride in doing it,” Stephen Rapp, a former ambassador-at-large who headed the Office of Global Criminal Justice in the State Department, said in an email.

Boaters urged to use caution after mother right whale, calf spotted in Cape Cod Bay​

PROVINCETOWN, Mass. — A mother and her calf became the first North Atlantic right whales of the season to arrive in the waters off Cape Cod over the weekend.
Porcia, a 21-year-old right whale, and her newborn calf were spotted in Cape Cod Bay on March 18, according to the Center for Coastal Studies. They were previously seen off the coast of Georgia in late December.
The North Atlantic right whale is critically endangered, with an estimated 340 animals remaining, and protected under the federal Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act.

That designation legally prohibits boats and aircraft from approaching within 500 yards of right whales. It also restricts vessel speeds in designated areas, including Cape Cod waters.

Typically, mother and calf pairs make the long trip from their calving grounds off the coast of Georgia and Florida and arrive in Cape Cod Bay in mid-March. Mother and calf pairs often linger in Cape Cod and Massachusetts bays, where they feed and rest, before continuing their migration north.
The Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries places a seasonal 10-knot speed restriction in Cape Cod Bay for vessels less than 65 feet in length. That speed restriction is in place from March 1 through April 30 and can be extended if whales remain in the area.

At approximately midnight on March 23, 2023, The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a threat of violence at a local middle school; the matter has been investigated and an arrest of a juvenile student of the school was affected at approximately 3 am. Based on the age of the defendant they were referred to Family Court. The PCSO Bureau of Criminal Investigation continues to investigate this matter, and we have deployed additional personnel to the school for the day and reached out to a number of law enforcement agencies providing information, as well as the Department of Social Services.

There is no danger or remaining threat to the safety of students and faculty at the school. In addition, patrol deputies will be present at schools throughout Putnam County during the day.

In this case we are providing the identity of the school due to the recent reports that have circulated in the communities, as the George Fischer Middle School (GFMS).

GFMS is on a two (2) hour delay. Putnam County Sheriff’s Deputies will be deployed to the school in addition to the normal complement of School Resource Officers assigned.

We remind the community that we investigate all threats and determine whether an arrest can be made based on the facts. In this matter, it was determined that a crime was committed and therefore an arrest was made swiftly.

There are restrictions on what information we can provide, but we take this opportunity to assure parents, students, and faculty that they are safe.

Good job. Sad that stuff like this happens but at least in this instance it seems something was prevented.
 

ABOARD THE KV SORTLAND — NATO ally Norway has announced that it is boosting the number of naval patrols near vital undersea gas pipelines off its coast, and released a trove of videos exclusively to NBC News illustrating what it sees as a growing Russian threat in the Arctic.

The videos provided by the Royal Norwegian Air Force capture the high-stakes cat-and-mouse game between the two militaries, with Russian attack submarines patrolling near a maze of undersea pipelines carrying vast amounts of natural gas to Europe and telecommunication cables linking Europe and America.

According to the head of the Royal Norwegian Navy, the videos indicate that Russian attack submarines and planes have expanded their presence in the High North, operating near Norway’s natural gas pipelines that represent a vital energy lifeline for Europe.

“We’ve seen increased military activity around Norway in the High North, in the North Atlantic. We have seen Russian submarines operating differently than they did 10 years ago,” Rear Adm. Rune Andersen said last week from the bridge of the Norwegian refueling ship Maud at the Haakonsvern Naval Base in the city of Bergen.

Norway, with more than 5,000 miles of pipelines, is now supplying 30 to 40% of Europe’s natural gas needs, up from about 20% before the Ukraine invasion. The undersea cables in the North Sea are part of a crucial global communications network that keeps data moving around the planet.

What channel do they watch? Telemundo or something like that. It’s not about what or who knows best. It’s about who has the fattest ass and wares the tightest spandex in that culture. They have no clue what goes on outside of that channel. Like a Spanish NBC or CNN.
