Viktoria Roshchyna, a Ukrainian journalist held captive by Russia, has died, said Petro Yatsenko, a spokesperson of Ukraine's Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War, on national television on Oct. 10.
The circumstances of her death are still being confirmed, Yatsenko said.
Roshchyna disappeared in August 2023 while reporting in Russian-occupied territory. Her father received a letter from Russia's Defense Ministry in April of the following year confirming that she was being detained by Russian authorities.

A republican lesson in the difference when two do the same...
Trump's vice presidential candidate claims Israel's right to be the first to hit Iran

The decision to launch a preemptive strike on Iran should remain with Israel, and the United States should support its ally, said US vice presidential candidate from the Republican Party James David Vance.

"It's up to Israel to decide what they need to keep their country safe, and we have to support our allies as they fight the bad guys. I believe this is the right approach to the Israeli issue," Vance said at a televised debate with Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz (quoted by TASS).

So how come duplicitous Trumpists do not see that Ukraine has the very same right - not even for preemptive strikes but just to hit military targets in russia - as "they fight the bad boys"? For Ukraine the big Vance echoes just Putin's Victory plan, "give up and roll over."

He was convicted in January 1970 under Article 190-1 to 3 years in prison. He devoted his whole life to the national struggle, and was tried for the first time in 1966, then in 1970, 1974, 1976, 1979, 1983 and the last time - in 1986.

The movement of the Crimean Tatars for the return to Crimea was the most massive dissident movement in the USSR - the actions of this movement alone numbered hundreds of thousands of participants. He played a major role in the fight against Soviet totalitarianism.

JD Vance says that Trump’s “peace plan” for Ukraine is to let russia keep all the Ukrainian territory they currently occupy (nearly 20% of Ukraine) and give russia a guarantee that Ukraine will never join NATO and any other “allies institution” [EU?]

A vote for Trump is a vote for Putin.

~ Trump been so secretive about his plan toward Ukraine & ruZZia war, but his mate JD Vance has leaked the plan during his interview. What a perfect mate ~ 👀😁

War in Ukraine Will End Only When Russia Is Defeated or Putin Is Gone—Foreign Affairs

Former CIA analyst Peter Schroeder argues in Foreign Affairs that Vladimir Putin will never give up on Ukraine. The war can only end in one of two ways: either Russia loses its ability to continue fighting, or Putin is no longer in power.

Schroeder dismisses the notion that Putin’s actions are merely a “test of the West’s weakness.” Instead, the Kremlin sees a “strategic need” to prevent Ukraine from becoming a Western stronghold that could threaten Russia.

As long as Putin remains alive and in power, no amount of sanctions, military losses, or international pressure will deter him. Ukraine must either decisively defeat the Russian army on the battlefield, leaving Putin unable to continue the war, or freeze the conflict and wait for his death. Schroeder suggests that since the war is driven by Putin’s personal ambitions, future Russian leaders may be easier to negotiate with.

Rest in Peace Oleksii. Eternal memory

When Oleksii saw the footage from Bucha, he felt compelled to fight for his country. Like all mothers, she tried to dissuade him because she didn't want to lose her son but he replied:

If I don't go and someone else doesn't go, then russia will soon be running our backyard.

He died early this year in the Donetsk region, aged just 24. We must not forget his sacrifice, not just for Ukraine but for the free world 😌

His mother, who is broken hearted, wants to emphasize that people from the Roma community are also defending their country.

I stand with Ukraine. The Red Viburnum

The UN acknowledges the involvement of UNRWA staff in the massacre in Israel on October 7.

The United Nations has admitted that at least nine employees of its Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) may have been involved in the attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023. This was stated by UN spokesman Farhan Haq following the investigation.

An internal UN investigation affected 19 employees of the agency, which performs virtually all humanitarian and social functions in the Gaza Strip. In relation to nine employees, sufficient evidence of their involvement in the attack was found, which was necessary for their dismissal. In relation to nine other employees of the agency, there was not enough evidence for conclusions, no data on participation in the attack was found for one employee.

The Israeli side has repeatedly stated that UNRWA is closely associated with the radical group Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip, which is recognized as terrorist in the United States and Europe, and which attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, killing about 1200 civilians, including children, women and the elderly, and taking more than 250 people hostage. According to Israeli representatives, the number of UNRWA employees in the Gaza Strip linked to Hamas could be in the hundreds. UNRWA denied such figures, but promised to investigate.

In January, Israel submitted a report to the United Nations that found that agency employees may have been involved in crimes. It was based on data obtained by the Israeli army and security services based on an analysis of the October 7 attack. The head of the agency, Philip Lazzarini, said that an investigation would be carried out and the employees involved in the illegal activities would be fired and charged in court.

Some UN member states, including the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Finland, Australia and Canada, have suspended funding for UNRWA.

Ukraine prepares for potential russian attack on "Decision-Making Centers" following Ukrainian Armed Forces counter-attack in the Kursk Region

Kyiv is preparing for the possibility that russia may launch missile strikes on parliament and other government buildings in response to the Ukrainian Armed Forces' (UAF) incursion into the Kursk region, a senior Ukrainian defence ministry source told The Times.

"Russia feels the need to give a very tough response, something big, to show the world that it is all-powerful and that something like Kursk will not go unpunished," the source said.

According to him, Russia could launch "not just four missiles" at Kyiv, but hundreds, including cruise and ballistic missiles.

"And this could become a big problem for our air defense. But I believe that we will be able to stop them," the representative of the Ukrainian military department noted.

Another Ukrainian official confirmed Russia's preparations for a large-scale missile attack on "decision-making centers" in Ukraine in a conversation with AFP.

Ukraine asked Mexican authorities to arrest Putin at the presidential inauguration

The Ukrainian Embassy in Mexico asked to arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin if he arrives for the inauguration of President Claudia Sheinbaum, which will take place on October 1. The corresponding appeal was published on the diplomatic mission's Facebook page.

"We hope that the Mexican government understands the fact that Vladimir Putin is a war criminal suspected of kidnapping and forcibly deporting Ukrainian children to Russia, whose arrest warrant was issued by the International Criminal Court, whose jurisdiction Mexico recognizes," the statement said.

The Ukrainian Embassy expressed hope that Mexico will fulfill its obligations and hand Putin over to the UN judicial body in The Hague.

The day before, it became known that Sheinbaum, who was elected president of Mexico, began sending invitations to heads of other states to her inauguration. One of the invitations was sent to Putin. It is still unknown whether the Russian President received him and whether he will participate in the event.

🇪🇺Ukraine, according to international law, has the legal right to defend itself, including striking the aggressor on its territory, — European Commission spokesman Peter Stano regarding the events in the Kursk region

"The EU continues to fully support Ukraine's legitimate right to protection against Russian aggression and its efforts to restore sovereignty and territorial integrity," said the spokesperson of the European Commission.

- What about the condemnation that Zakharova called for?

🟠 UN investigation:
Nine UNRWA employees were involved in the October 7 massacre, they will be fired.
