Ukrainian POW sentenced to life for defending Mariupol in brutal Russian replay of fake occupation court ‘trial’
Russia has plunged to a new low with its staged ‘appeal’ and life sentence against a Ukrainian prisoner of war seized while defending Mariupol

A Russian court of appeal has changed to life imprisonment the 22-year sentence passed by an unrecognized occupation ‘court’ against Ukrainian prisoner of war Denys Rashplia. The sentences were clearly based on ‘confessions’ tortured out of the Ukrainian POW, with the ‘prosecution appeal’ and massively increased sentence an additional cruel form of torture.

Russian occupiers force residents of occupied territories to testify against Ukraine
Russian occupiers promise residents of temporarily occupied territories to pay up to 100,000 rubles for evidence of crimes by Ukraine, according to the National Resistance Center (NRC).

It is noted that to do this, one must write a statement that you or your family members, including children, have been affected by shelling by Ukraine. Residents of Mariupol, Severodonetsk, Lysychansk, and other cities in the east, which Russia wiped off the face of the earth during liberation, are encouraged to write statements.

These statements are then supposed to contribute to the narrative about the crimes of the Defense Forces, which, according to the logic of insane propagandists, shelled cities that they controlled.

"For the sake of forming a parallel reality, the Russians cynically promise money to people whom they have deprived of earnings so that they shift the blame for the crimes onto the other side," the message reads.

Situation in the occupied territories
Russian occupiers in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine are preparing to call teenagers to military service and are completing the formation of lists.

In addition, the aggressor is taking Ukrainian children from the temporarily occupied territories and trying to assimilate them with Russians, killing their national identity.

Moscow also demands from the occupation authorities in the temporarily occupied territories complete passportization of the population by 2026. However, residents continue to ignore the issuance of Russian documents.

Volunteer and blogger Serhii Sternenko published a video of the Ukrainian defenders’ combat mission.

Judging by the footage, the Russian artillery system was in a combat position in a ready-to-fire configuration.

Smerconish: 'A mistake' to ignore or disrespect Trump and his supporters
After Ronna McDaniel's hiring and firing, says CNN's Michael Smerconish, it's a mistake to ignore or disrespect Trump and his supporters. "Of course, no one's views should be aired without challenge. That's a journalist's responsibility...I'm advocating for balance. Why would anyone want to watch a discussion of the news that only reinforces beliefs, and doesn't challenge people to think?"

Central Asian migrants face xenophobic backlash in Russia after Moscow terror attack
The four men accused of a deadly terror attack on Moscow’s Crocus City concert hall last week were quickly identified by Russian authorities as being from Tajikistan, a former Soviet republic in Central Asia.

In the hours after the attack, videos began surfacing on Russian social media channels of the police detaining and brutally abusing the alleged attackers, with one appearing to show a suspect having part of his ear cut off and subsequently forced into his mouth. The men had been in Russia as migrant workers on either temporary or expired visas, authorities said.

Russians are understandably shocked and saddened by the attack. But in the days since, that emotion – combined with the disturbing videos – appears to have unleashed a wave of xenophobia from some towards Central Asian migrant workers in general.
