“Today there is an important political result in Strasbourg - at the PACE session. A resolution has been adopted that recognizes that Russia’s deportation of Ukrainian children bears the hallmarks of genocide. Practically speaking, this decision will significantly help our global work to bring Russia and its officials, including the head of the terrorist state, to justice for genocide and genocidal policy against Ukraine.
The deportation of Ukrainian children is one of the well-thought-out elements of Russia’s attempts to erase the identity of our people, to destroy the very essence of Ukrainians. This is a deliberate crime of genocide committed by Russian officials - this is how it should be qualified both politically and legally.
Today, the First Lady of Ukraine addressed PACE - specifically about children and families. Our parliamentarians and diplomats have done a good job. And at all levels - formal and informal, with leaders of states, at the parliamentary, governmental, law enforcement levels, in the legal community and in international and inter-parliamentary organizations - we will continue to work for the return of all deported Ukrainian children and for the punishment of Russia,” Zelensky said.

I looked at 2), a short video about Melitopol and Russian activity there. However I was very interested to watch the 26 minute video which immediately followed. This video gave great detail on the military implications of Finland joining NATO. Finland has a very strong well trained military, determined to not be invaded by Russia again. Russia is concerned because the Finish border is very few miles from St. Petersburg/Leningrad. Finish NATO membership also strengthens protection for the small Baltic nations recently freed from Russia—Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuainia.
In addition, the Kola Peninsula, far to the north, which includes the important year round military sea port Murmansk is also within striking distance from Finland. This port harbors nuclear subs which can depart in the deep Arctic water to head for the east coast US, or the state of Alaska.
The only highway to Murmansk from farther south in Russia runs many miles along the Finish border at about 100 miles distance. The Kola Peninsula also contains a large number of the Russian nuclear silos which threaten all of Europe. While US military could be very helpful to Finland in major war, both Finland and Norway (which also borders the Kola Peninsula) have avoided having US military stationed in their countries to not antagonize Russia. At any rate, a very interesting report on the significance of the Finish addition to NATO.
I found several interesting videos after clicking your 2) story about “Panic in Melitopol.” This video has been followed by others. Earlier today I saw a long video about the implications of Finland’s joining NATO. I could not refind it when I decided it would be a good link to post. However, tonight I looked again and found this very detailed 22 minute link about the likely potential for Ukraine to regain Crimea.

It appears Russia is not finding Crimea such a bargain. Now that Russia has left Kherson, Ukraine is able to maintain control of the water supply into Crimea. They once grew over 60% of their food, but without the water Crimea no longer can feed itself and needs major Russian subsidies, as well as having limited water availability. In fact, holding Crimea is a costly venture for Russia, even though they are very pleased to have the port of Sevastapol. Whether Ukraine regains Crimea by conquest this year or over several years as Russia tires of Crimea as an ongoing burden, the narrator, who has written a book on the subject believes Ukraine will regain Crimea.
