Russia has carried out the systematic kidnapping of tens of thousands of Ukrainian children, erasing their identities and forcing them into Russian families.

Now, Trump, Musk, and Rubio are helping Russia cover up this genocide as his regime cancels a crucial contract working on this horror

State Department terminated a contract that assisted in documenting evidence of Russian's mass kidnapping of Ukrainian children

The Institute for the Study of War reports nearly 2,000 russian military targets within Tomahawk range.
Ukraine doesn’t need to hit cities — only the engines of this war.

Up to 25,000 Cubans could soon be fighting for Russia.

It is reported that Cubans are promised about $2,000 per month - far more than they can earn at home. It is also possible that they are promised jobs in construction but then sent to the frontlines.

Russia is also quietly attacking Ukraine's food supplies and producers.

The Yofi hummus factory is the latest to be targeted. Yofi has a 70% market share, but now production is suspended after a missile strike. The workers were saved, but not the equipment.

There was no air raid warning and no drones reported in the area.
