UN calls for return of Russia-abducted Ukrainian children in US-backed vote


The #US supported the resolution, while #Russia , #Belarus and #Iran have voted against it. Fifty-seven countries, including #China, #India and #Brazil, #abstained from voting.

Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, #Ukraine has identified over 19,500 #children who were illegally transferred to Russia, Belarus, or Russian-occupied territories. Fewer than 1,300 have been brought back.

"There will be no just #peace in Ukraine without the unconditional return of #UkrainianChildren. This resolution is not about politics. It is about humanity," Deputy Foreign Minister Mariana Betsa said at the U.N. General Assembly debate.

Russia maintains network for #hybrid #warfare in #Europe


#Russia has created a network of agents to conduct its #HybridWar against Europe. The network brings together government agencies and organized #crime and #Russian-speaking men with #criminal records are being recruited to carry out acts of #sabotage, according to a study.

"The study situates #Moscow's #tactics against the backdrop of its full-scale war on #Ukraine, showing that hybrid operations are not a side theatre but a central pillar of #Russian #strategy," the researchers explain in their introduction.

They compared these tactics to the approach of the so-called "Islamic State" (ISIS) #terror group that recruited "former criminals who went on to carry out violent attacks in the Levant and Europe." The researcher explained that "today, a new #crime-terror nexus has emerged in Europe — this time orchestrated by a state actor – Russia."
