“UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres today announced the appointment of Abdullah Abdul Samad Dashti of Kuwait as the UN Coordinator for the Black Sea Grain Initiative,” the statement said.
Since August 2022, this position was held by Amir Mahmoud Abdullah from Sudan. Guterres thanked him for his work and dedication to the initiative.
The grain agreement was concluded in Istanbul on July 22. With the participation of the UN, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine, two documents were signed on the creation of a corridor for the export of grain from three Ukrainian ports (Chornomorsk, Odesa and Pivdennyi), as well as on the removal of barriers to the export of Russian food and fertilizers.”

Today two babies were born in the maternity hospital. Doctors with the babies managed to go down to the shelter.
“Terrorists once again targeted children’s lives. Today two babies were born in this maternity hospital. One of the babies was born a few minutes before the walls of the maternity hospital were destroyed by Russian shells,” Lyashko wrote.
According to him, Russia insidiously shelled another maternity hospital in Kherson.
“Did the terrorists know where they were aiming? In the 11th month of the war I can say with certainty that they did. Because every day our hospitals and maternity hospitals become targets for Russian missiles and shells,” added Lyashko.
He stated that, fortunately, this time, neither babies, nor women in labor, nor hospital staff were injured.
Lyashko noted that “having no success on the battlefield, Russia is trying to fight with newborn Ukrainians.”

The European Commission organized a solidarity action to provide Ukrainian schoolchildren with transport to school.
“EU countries and European Commission will hand over 240 school buses to Ukraine
As part of this initiative, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Germany and the Netherlands will hand over 120 school buses to Ukraine.
Also, the EU will allocate 14 million euros for the purchase and transportation of another 120 school buses, so the total number of vehicles that will be transferred to Ukraine will reach 240 units.
The European Commission is calling on public and private organizations in the EU and beyond to join forces and show solidarity by providing the buses needed to transport Ukrainian children to their schools in the coming months.
“Ukrainian children need school buses. Europe is currently donating 14 million euros for this. And we need more. Therefore, the European Commission is organizing a solidarity campaign to provide school buses for Ukraine by the beginning of 2023. Together we can help the children - the future of Ukraine,” said the president Ursula von der Leyen of the European Commission.”

“The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine published information on the specified losses of the Russian occupiers in the Zaporizhzhia region on December 27.
Censor.NET: This was reported on the official Facebook page of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“The Russian occupiers continue to die ingloriously in Ukraine. The destruction of one S-300 anti-aircraft missile system, 8 units of military equipment of various types and types of ammunition was confirmed in the Zaporizhzhia region in the previous days. More than 150 servicemen were injured. The number of those killed is being specified,” the message states.”
The Centre for Strategic Communication identified 5 major turns of Russian propaganda in the ten months of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
STAGE 1. “Special operation for denazification or Kyiv in 3 days”
February 24 – March 15
From the very beginning, the Kremlin hoped to quickly defeat and impose capitulation on Ukraine. In this, an important role, besides the Russian army, was assigned to the numerous friends of Russia, who were expected to be found in Ukraine: treacherous elites (for the money that was being allocated for years to cultivate the fifth column, but… were stolen). As well as to the Russian-speaking population, which, according to the plan, should have supported Russia free of charge. In fact, Ukraine was sincerely considered infirm and unviable by Moscow because it was “not real, but invented by Lenin.”
On the second day of the invasion, Putin explicitly urged the Ukrainian army to start an armed rebellion: “Take power in your hands! It seems that it is easier to come to an agreement with you than with this group of drug addicts and neo-Nazis, which rooted in Kyiv and took all the Ukrainian people hostage.”
Russian propaganda explained to the Russians that:
-the invincible Russian army is clearly fulfilling its tasks, civilians are in no danger;
-the Ukrainian army has sided with the Russian one, and together they are destroying some nationalists;
-the great and terrible Kadyrov makes the enemies tremble at the sound of his name;
-answering the question “where were you for 8 years when Donbas was bombed?” — the opponents shyly avert their eyes.
“Russia is restoring its historical completeness, bringing together the ‘Russian world‘, the Russian people together — in its totality of Great Russians, Belarusians, and Little Russians,” reads the material that should have been published, but was hastily removed because the blitzkrieg stalled.
Ukrainians, thanks to heroic resistance, prevented fascist Z-dreams from happening.
STAGE 2. “Nationalists took civilians hostage, so there are victims”
March 16 – May 9
At that stage, Putin’s regime realized that Ukraine was stronger and did not intend to give up immediately. It didn’t work out to destroy it spontaneously, but it will, when using the obvious advantage in force. Even if we have to raze the housing blocks with their residents to the ground. The war will write it all off.
-everything goes according to the plan, it’s just that not everyone has access to this secret plan;
-it is not the Russians who commit crimes against civilians, but the Ukrainian army.
-nationalists and the Armed Forces of Ukraine hide in cities and use civilians as “human shields”;
-the best Ukrainian troops will be surrounded and destroyed in Donbas, the rest will run away and capitulate;
-Russia is liberating Donbas, fulfilling its allied responsibilities, and saving people from genocide.
STAGE 3. “The West is our enemy”
May 10 – September 12
On May 9, when Russia pompously celebrates Victory Day and everyone is intimidated with “we can repeat,” it was time to draw interim conclusions. They turned out to be disappointing for the Kremlin. Though everything went “according to the plan,” this mysterious plan no longer looked so brilliant. The problems had to be urgently explained by new difficult circumstances. The glimmer of doubt in the victory manifested itself in the determination of the nuclear power to resort to its last argument.
“In case of loss — which is impossible — there will be a final loss of imperial principles and traditions, the transformation with great losses into an ordinary regional state. The worst-case scenario is civil war and nuclear conflict with the West, with the mutual destruction of Western and Eastern European civilizations. Therefore, today’s confrontation with the West is a total hybrid war that we cannot lose.” From the programme article by Andrei Ilnitsky and Andrei Shkolnikov.
-everything is not easy because the Ukrainian army was
trained by the West, it helps Ukraine with weapons;
-in fact, it is already Russia’s war with NATO;
-Poles and Negroes are fighting on the Ukrainian side;
-Russia was left with no choice, the West imposed this
war on it, and Putin’s strike on 24 February was a
preventive one;
-Russia cannot be defeated because at the very least it
can always deliver a nuclear strike.
STAGE 4. “The Holy People’s War”
September 13 – December 1
Autumn brought the Ukrainian Defence Forces brilliant victories in the east and south, the authority of the Russian armed forces fell to the indicators of the First Chechen campaign. In Russia, the search for those responsible for the failures (army men), the appointment of new heroes (Wagner members), and the implementation of new strategies of war (bombing of civilian infrastructure) began. Mobilization had to be declared; it was called “partial” for reassurance. To have at least some political achievements, the Kremlin resorted to the annexation of four Ukrainian regions.
-we have to gather all forces because this is a sacred
war that purifies even the convicts;
-after the annexation of four regions to Russia, now,
the war is being waged on its territory and beyond,
which means it is a fair, defensive war;
-the Russian generals concealed the problems from the
people, but now the problems will be eliminated;
-in Russia, there are professionals from Wagner and
-“General Armageddon” Surovikin, who are able to turn
the tide;
-without warmth and light in winter, Ukrainians will not
be able to withstand and will force their leadership to
agree to Russian conditions.
STAGE 5. “Fighting Satan”
From December 2
At the end of a failed year on its side, the Putin regime tries to unleash an even higher level of psychosis, reaching the extreme forms of exaltation. Propaganda intimidates the Russians with the prospect of defeat and prepares them for new losses.
-Russia cannot lose because then The Hague awaits us
all;
-this is a religious war for faith, holy Rus, against
Satan;
-Ukraine mercilessly destroys Donetsk and its
inhabitants by shelling;
-but not all Russians have yet realized that the war is
about everyone.
Moscow returns to the nuclear blackmail of the world. The new-year gift was a “nuclear lullaby” for the patriots from the MP of the State Duma Denis Maidanov, in which he sings about the “Sormatushka” missile, aimed at the United States. “Why do we need such a world if Russia is not in it?” Putin’s words are quoted in the video. “No victory, only betrayal” — this is how the song ends.
***
During 2022, Russian military propaganda passed a thorny path from “nobly rescuing Ukrainians from the Nazis” to “burning the whole world to hell in a nuclear apocalypse.”
One can only guess how exactly these extremes are combined in Putin’s plan of “special operation” (which Russian troops strictly adhere to).
However, if this plan really works, as Moscow assures, it is a plan of suiciders, not winners.
-Centre for Strategic Communication and Information Security
I pray this war ends. It’s stupid and if anything a result of the WEF wanting as many people as they can get to be killed. Also if 1/2 a million Russians and Ukrainians die, that’s 1-2 million less children in the future.
HUMOROUS
Putin sent 8 gold rings to Russian allied leaders and was ridiculed as the Lord of the Rings villain Sauron-International
12/28/2022, 4:16:02 PM
Russian President Vladimir Putin recently gifted the former Soviet leader eight gold rings, but critics have compared him to Sauron, the power-hungry lord of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Agence France-Presse reported that Putin presented one to each of the leaders of the eight countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (Commonwealth of Independent States, an alliance formed by Russia and the former Soviet Union) at the summit held in St. Petersburg, Russia, on the 26th and 27th. gold ring.
(CNA) Russian President Vladimir Putin recently gifted the former Soviet leader eight gold rings, but critics have compared him to the power-hungry lord Sauron in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Agence France-Presse reported that Putin presented one to each of the leaders of the eight countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (Commonwealth of Independent States, an alliance formed by Russia and the former Soviet Union) at the summit held in St. Petersburg, Russia, on the 26th and 27th. gold ring.
Please read on...
Putin kept the ninth gold ring for himself, which was inlaid with the symbol of the Independent States Association and engraved with the words “Russia” and “Happy New Year 2023”.
Coincidentally, in JRR Tolkien’s classic novel The Lord of the Rings, Sauron also gave humans 9 rings to enslave them and bend them to his will.
Since Putin sent troops to attack Ukraine in February this year, Ukrainian authorities have often compared Russia to Sauron’s domain, Mordor, and the Russian army to Sauron’s soldiers, Orcs.
In response, Ekaterina Schulmann, a well-known Russian political scientist, wrote on the encrypted communication software Telegram: “Of course this was done on purpose.”
Russian political commentator Yulia Latynina called the rings “rings of impotence”, an apparent reference to Putin’s growing international isolation due to his invasion of Ukraine.
Ratynina joked that every ruler who wears these rings will turn his country into a country ruled by madmen. She believes that Putin will wear the ring alone and will not wear it for long.
Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko wrote: “Putin is tired of playing 21st century Hitler and has decided to play Lord of the Ring.”

Ukrainians struggle to find and reclaim children taken by Russia
by Robyn Dixon, Natalia Abbakumova
Dec 24, 2022
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/12/24/ukraine-stolen-children-maria-lvova-belova/
Oleksandr has not seen his mother since Russian soldiers captured the pair in Mariupol, in southern Ukraine, in April and took her away. At 12, he escaped adoption into a Russian family only because he remembered his grandmother’s phone number and called her to come and save him.
Russia’s proxy social welfare officials in occupied Ukraine discouraged her, warning of heavy fighting.
“They said that they would send him to an orphanage or they would find a family in Russia,” said his grandmother, Lyudmila, of Ichnya, in Ukraine’s northern Chernihiv region. “I told them, ‘I’ll risk my life. I’ll come and pick him up.’ I was pleading with them not to send him to Russia.
“They told me, ‘It’s going to be very hard, and the paperwork is awful.’ I said I didn’t care,” Lyudmila said. The Washington Post is identifying her and Oleksandr by first names only to protect them from reprisal.
While Ukrainians face daunting logistical barriers to recover children taken to Russia, Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a decree last May making it quick and easy for Russians to adopt Ukrainian children.
The policy is vigorously pursued by Putin’s children’s rights commissioner, Maria Lvova-Belova, who openly advocates stripping children of their Ukrainian identities and teaching them to love Russia. Last spring, Lvova-Belova personally adopted a Ukrainian boy — an orphan who had been evacuated from the besieged Ukrainian city of Mariupol, which was under heavy bombing by Russia, first to Donetsk and then to a sanitorium near Moscow. Lvova-Belova has also spoken publicly about her efforts to change his views.
It is a potential war crime to remove children during conflict or to change their nationality, but Russia has been secretive about how many Ukrainian children have families or relatives who want them returned home. Lvova-Belova has insisted that none have Ukrainian families, while Ukraine officials say all belong in Ukraine.
“Russia changed its adoption law to give these children to Russian families as soon as possible,” said Alexandra Romantsova of the Center for Civil Liberties in Kyiv, which documents possible Russian war crimes and won the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize. “In these families, children are kept from the truth so they don’t give them the chance to keep a connection with Ukrainians or Ukrainian identity at all. It is one of the ways that Russia is trying to destroy Ukrainian identity.”
As war rages on in Ukraine, volunteer paramedics evacuate the injured
Daria Herasymchuk, Ukraine’s top children’s rights official said last month that 10,764 Ukrainian children had been reported by relatives, family or friends to have been deported by Russia without their parents.
At a news conference on Oct. 26, Lvova-Belova said that about 2,000 “unaccompanied children” from Ukraine were “evacuated” to Russia, mainly to orphanages and other groups homes, while “350 orphans from Donbas have already been placed in foster families in 16 regions of Russia, but a thousand more children are waiting for new parents.”
Lvova-Belova did not respond to repeated requests for an interview.
In August, the Department for Family and Children in Russia’s Krasnodar region posted a statement on its website that more than 1,000 children from Ukraine had been adopted by families in distant cities including Tyumen, Irkutsk, Kemerovo and even the Altai Territory, more than 2,000 miles from Ukraine.
Three hundred more were awaiting adoption, the department said. After an outcry, the page was swiftly deleted, but a copy is archived.
The Kremlin has made a propaganda triumph of the removal of children, with photos and video plastered on its website and on state television. Several Ukrainian families told The Post that their children were told they would be adopted by Russians, despite having their own families.
After Russia’s illegal claimed annexations of Ukrainian territory, Russian authorities doubled down, insisting that the children in those four regions were now Russians. An unknown number were taken from orphanages and homes for disabled children before Russia’s retreat from Kherson last month.
Human Rights Watch reported on Dec. 12 in a submission to the U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child that the number of forced illegal transfers of Ukrainians, including children, to Russia “remains unclear.” It called on Russia to halt any further adoptions.
In patriotism push, Russians send handmade gifts to troops in Ukraine
In July, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe reported that 2,000 Ukrainian children had been removed to Russia despite having families in Ukraine.
Ukrainians who have lost their children face bureaucratic resistance — and often danger — trying to get them home.
Oleksandr’s family was torn apart in Russia’s attacks on Mariupol. On March 24, Oleksandr was struck in one eye during a Russian missile attack. His mother, Snezhana, rushed him for medical help, and they were later captured by Russian forces. The Russians then sent the boy, known as Sasha, to a hospital in Donetsk, in occupied Ukraine, where he was told that he would be adopted by Russians because he had no parents.
“The Russians said, ‘You, mom, step aside. We’re taking your son to the hospital.’ Sasha started to cry, and said, ‘No, please, I want to stay with my mother and how will I find her later?’” Lyudmila said, recounting what her grandson told her when he managed to borrow a phone six days later. The boy was terrified.
“They talked to him about Ukraine and Russia there and told him that Ukraine is bad and Ukrainians are evil,” Lyudmila said. “They forced the children to speak Russian.”
Lvova-Belova, Putin’s children’s rights commissioner, is a religiously devout mother of 22 children. After she adopted Filip, an orphaned teenager from Mariupol, she told Russian media that her heart skipped a beat when she saw him during an official visit. “I realized that I couldn’t live without this child,” she said. Filip has given interviews to Russian media describing how his mother died of cancer in 2017, and that he was abandoned by his stepfather amid the bombing in Mariupol.
In August, Lvova-Belova told a conference in Russia’s Far East that Filip had to change his Ukrainian ways. “My adopted son runs after my young children and says, ‘I will eat the Muscovite.’ And this manifests itself in everything,” she said. “He tells them how he used to go out with a flag to demonstrate in support of Ukraine, how he used to celebrate various Ukrainian holidays. And he is proud of it!”
Children like him “are not at all close to the culture and history of Russia, and they openly admit it,” Lvova-Belova said. But she told journalists in September that assimilation was working. At first, Ukrainian children taken to Russia would sing the Ukrainian national anthem and insult Putin, she said “but then it transforms into love for Russia.”
To avoid the combat zones, Lyudmila, Oleksandr’s grandmother, traveled from Ukraine via Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Russia and into Russian-occupied eastern Ukraine to get him back.
“Sasha was overjoyed and I was ecstatic. We hugged each other,” she said. They left as quickly as possible, but Lyudmila said she was questioned at length and pressured by security officials in occupied Donetsk to stay. “I had to lie quite a bit,” she said. “It was the only way out.”
In patriotism push, Russians send handmade gifts to troops in Ukraine
Olga Lopatkina and her husband, Denis, of Vuhledar, Ukraine, faced similar barriers trying to recover six of their nine children, after the children, ages seven to 17, were stranded in a Mariupol sanatorium on the Russian side of the front line by Russian attacks. Eleven children from other families were in the same facility. With attacks nearing Vuhledar, the Lopatkins evacuated to France with three children, determined to bring the other six to France as soon as they could.
By March 19, the 17 children were taken to a Donetsk clinic. Lopatkina sent all required documents to recover her six children home but was turned down by Moscow-aligned welfare officials. Officials told the children they would be adopted by Russians, she said.
“It was kidnapping,” Lopatkina said. “The worst thing was that they always told our children, ‘Just forget about your parents. That’s it. You will go to Russia and you will be Russians.’ All along they were telling our kids they would be better off in Russia. ... Your parents, they abandoned you. They don’t want you.”
When officials blocked their return to their parents, the oldest son, Timofei, 17, said he was “was extremely upset and kind of desperate. When I learned of the decision, I was shocked.” Eleonora Fedorenko, the responsible welfare official in Donetsk, did not respond to a request for comment.
Officials pressured Timofei to agree to go to Russia with his five siblings, promising that he would become rich and lead a great life, Lopatkina said. He refused and eventually she arranged for her children to go to France.
“Doesn’t Russia have its own kids?” Lopatkina said. “I have no idea why they need ours. I guess it’s just to [hurt] us.” The fate of the other 11 children also taken from the Mariupol sanatorium to the Donetsk clinic is not known.
Lvova-Belova has been sanctioned by the United States, Britain, the European Union, Canada, Australia and Switzerland over the forced adoption of Ukrainian children into Russian families. She has called the accusations “fake.”
In Washington, Zelensky seeks to rally support for grueling war with Russia
She and other Russian officials claim that any adopted Ukrainian children had no families. But two Ukrainian siblings, Makar and Zakhar, aged eight and nine, interviewed by state media on a train on their way to meet the Russians adopting them, said they did have a grandmother who had tried to contact them.
The interview was part of a number of propaganda stunts featuring Lvova-Belova and Russian politicians including the Moscow region’s governor, Andrei Vorobyov, and showing Ukrainian children being handed colorful balloons and fluffy toys and being turned over to Russian parents. Vorobyov did not reply to a request for comment.
Larysa Yahodinska of Orene in northern Ukraine said she had to walk through a mined forest with Ukrainian border guards to recover her 17-year-old son, Vladislav, who was seized by Russian soldiers on March 5 and sent to an orphanage in Belarus.
Soldiers had detained Vladislav and an older brother and had blindfolded, beaten and tortured them before Vladislav was taken to Belarus, she said. Human Rights Watch reported that many children were subjected to searches in Russian filtration camps, with some separated from their parents or detained.
Yahodinska eventually convinced officials to bring Vladislav to the border, where they were reunited. The older son is reported to be imprisoned in Russia.
Lvova-Belova has called Ukrainian demands to return Ukrainian children “incomprehensible” and has accused parents, separated from their children by Russian attacks, of abandoning them. “And now, for whatever reason, they want the children back,” she said, describing one case.
Putin has applauded her zealous promotion of the removals of Ukrainian children. Condemning Western sanctions against her, he said in September: “We should thank her and make a low bow to her.”
“I pray God blesses the Russian military with wisdom to find the quickest way possible to end this war”
I do too: Praying for God’s intervention to stop Putin’s invasion.
If the Russian soldiers all go home asap it would be best all around.
The problem is when Russian soldiers “go home” they rape, rob and pillage all the way back home.
