‘Imminent’ coup rumoured in Russia as Moscow internet cut off & Russia’s deportation of Ukrainian children a ‘crime against humanity’, UN says

Day 1,477.


Today, as one of Russia’s largest oil facilities is struck in a
Ukrainian attack and the war in Iran continues to sow chaos on
global energy markets, we examine growing pressure on European
governments to ease sanctions on Russia – just as US
representatives meet one of Vladimir Putin’s chief economic
advisers. Alongside the updates, we bring you a special exclusive
interview with one of the authors of a groundbreaking United
Nations report on the Ukrainian children taken to Russia,
concluding that a permanent member of the Security Council is
systematically committing crimes against humanity.
