Diplomats walked out on the Kremlin’s children's rights commissioner, who is charged with war crimes, as she spoke at a UN security council meeting. Maria Lvova-Belova, along with Russian president Vladimir Putin, was issued an arrest warrant by the international criminal court in March after being accused of illegally deporting children from occupied areas of Ukraine into Russia. Ukraine accuses Russia of having “stolen” more than 16,000 children since the start of its offensive more than a year ago. Russia says it is “saving” the children from combat zones. In a Russian television appearance with Putin in February, Lvova-Belova herself described “adopting” a 15-year-old child from Mariupol, the south-eastern Ukrainian city devastated and occupied by Russian forces. To find out more about the war crimes Llova-Belova is accused of, head to the link in bio. #news #worldnews #russia #putin #ukraine #ukrainerussiawar #ukraineinvasion #russiawar #UN
The last time WSJ staff heard from Evan Gershkovich before his arrest was March 29, just before 4 p.m., when he had arrived at a steakhouse in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg. The American reporter loved reporting on Russia—its language, its people—and had made Moscow a second home. Hours later, the newsroom was scrambling to reach contacts in Yekaterinburg, Moscow and Washington. A vague post on Telegram reported that security agents had taken a diner from a Yekaterinburg steakhouse with his hood up. On March 30, Russia said it had detained Gershkovich and accused him of espionage, a claim that WSJ, his colleagues and the Biden administration all deny. Diplomats and legal experts see little hope that the American will immediately be freed, given that espionage trials in Russia are conducted in secret and almost always end in a conviction. The U.S. and WSJ are demanding his immediate release. 📷: AP, WSJ, Zvezda News via Storyful #istandwithevan #evangershkovich #wsj #wallstreetjournal #thewallstreetjournal | WSJ Eastern Europe correspondent | Evan Gershkovich | WSJ reporter | Thomas Grove
One week ago, Evan Gershkovich was arrested in Russia while on a reporting trip and accused of spying, making him the first American journalist detained in Russia on espionage charges since the Cold War. WSJ vehemently denies the allegations. The U.S. State Department is preparing to designate Gershkovich as “wrongfully detained,” which would launch a major government effort to win his release. 📷: AP, WSJ #istandwithevan #evangershkovich #wsj #thewallstreetjournal #wallstreetjournal | WSJ Middle East correspondent | Evan Gershkovich is not a spy. | WSJ Moscow Bureau Chief | Ann Simmons | Benoit Faucon
