Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service has located the addresses of over 300 Ukrainian children who were illegally taken to Russia, a list of which will be shared with international partners. President Zelenskyy announced that this list will be provided to leaders assisting in the return of the children. This development comes as Ukraine continues diplomatic efforts to bring back the children and combats Russian claims of lacking knowledge of their whereabouts. Furthermore, the United States Senate is scheduled to hold hearings concerning Russia’s mass abduction of Ukrainian children.

Recent investigations by the independent Russian outlet Verstka reveal an alarming increase in extrajudicial killings within the Russian military, referred to as “nullifying,” where soldiers are executed. This practice involves sending personnel on deadly missions without proper gear, as well as executing those who refuse to participate in suicidal assaults, often motivated by financial gain. Commanders are allegedly profiting from the situation through bribes and transferring salaries, with refusal to pay resulting in execution. These findings underscore the brutal tactics employed in Russia’s offensive in eastern Ukraine, where human wave assaults have led to heavy casualties.

According to a recent report by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine, Russian drone strikes along the Dnieper River have been classified as war crimes. The report, based on hundreds of videos and interviews, details attacks targeting Ukrainian civilians and civilian infrastructure with a variety of drones. These attacks are alleged to be deliberately coordinated to instill terror, with evidence including the forced deportation of civilians. While Russia denies these accusations, the U.N. commission was unable to investigate Russian claims of Ukrainian attacks due to lack of access and safety concerns.

Impeach Trump for the Caribbean Killings. This is the crux of a conversation swirling around a deeply unsettling possibility: that former President Donald Trump might be implicated in extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean. The idea, frankly, is a hard pill to swallow, but it demands serious consideration. The gravity of such allegations – that a former leader may have ordered assassinations – is simply staggering. It’s a weight that crashes down on the concepts of justice, accountability, and the very rule of law.
Impeach Trump for the Caribbean Killings. The reaction is a mix of fury and resignation. Some commenters express a raw, unfiltered rage, demanding not just impeachment, but outright arrest and prosecution for war crimes.… Continue reading
A new investigation by Verstka reveals a disturbing pattern of internal violence within the Russian army, with evidence of commanders executing or deliberately sending soldiers to their deaths. The outlet documented 101 servicemen accused of murdering, torturing, or fatally punishing their own comrades, with at least 150 confirmed deaths and the true number believed to be higher. Methods used to enforce obedience include “execution shooters,” drone strikes on retreating soldiers, torture, and forced gladiator-style battles. Despite nearly 29,000 complaints received by the military prosecutor’s office, few, if any, perpetrators have been held accountable due to an informal ban on investigating cases against commanders in combat zones, resulting in widespread impunity.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has condemned the killing of over 460 patients and companions at the Saudi Maternity Hospital in el-Fasher, Sudan, by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Russian Officer Accused of Committing War Crimes in Kyiv Killed in Car Blast: It appears the news is out, and it’s certainly a headline that grabs your attention. We’re talking about a Russian lieutenant colonel, Veniamin Mazherin, who, according to reports, met his demise in a car explosion in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia. This isn’t just any officer; he was reportedly implicated in war crimes committed in the Kyiv region back in 2022.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Tuesday that the U.S. military conducted three strikes in the eastern Pacific Ocean, targeting boats suspected of carrying drugs, which resulted in 14 fatalities and one survivor. These actions, carried out off the coast of Colombia, represent an escalation in the pace of attacks in South American waters that began in early September. Footage of the strikes was released, showing vessels exploding, while the survivor’s location was passed to the U.S. Coast Guard and Mexican military. Hegseth has drawn parallels between the military’s actions against drug trafficking and the war on terrorism, with the Trump administration providing no evidence to support claims about the boats or the people killed.

The Trump administration has conducted ten military strikes against civilian targets in international waters, resulting in 43 reported civilian deaths in the past seven weeks, with the potential for more. President Trump has stated he would bypass Congress in authorizing these strikes, even expanding the operation to land-based targets. This action raises legal questions, as some suggest the White House is ignoring legal limits, with critics calling the actions war crimes. The lack of congressional oversight and the open disregard for legal norms signify a concerning erosion of checks and balances within the American system.
