So russia captures & imprisons innocent people, and for that, America... rewards it with business deals?
Great journalism and a depressing read by @shustry.
Even if this plan works and, let’s say, Russia frees political prisoners and U.S. secures business deals, what’s in it for Ukraine??? What happens to the war Russia has been waging for 4+ years???

Time to welcome #russia back into global arts & science society👏
Oh wait, they were never fully kicked out.
A strike by a Russian drone destroyed Ukraine’s National Academy of Sciences in central Kyiv. The FT witnessed several people scrambling for safety and climbing out of third-floor windows. ft.trib.al/TIK6qnO

I will not stop speaking about occupied Oleshky.
The food drop brought only temporary relief.
Now there are reports that Russians are “filtering” civilians who took food boxes.
Understand what filtration means in occupied territories:
Identify. Search. Interrogate. Intimidate. Detain. Disappear.
If these reports are confirmed, Russia turned food for starving civilians into a tool for hunting them.
Humanitarian aid cannot become bait.
The world should be screaming about the forced starvation of innocent civilians in Europe.

Kyiv Science Academy on fire after russia's bombing. At least 1 person killed.
Russia has been bombing Ukraine non-stop for over a month now. But there is something especially painful & personal about seeing your own city, its gems and your favorite places burn...

Making sure that Ukrainian children have allies in Congress 🙏

And this is such a time to stand up for Ukraine’s abducted children. Thank you, @SpeakerJohnson, for a heartfelt conversation about the urgent need to bring Ukrainian children home and reunite them with their families.

One place you need to see during UNGA in NYC
Tomorrow, more than 20,000 teddy bears will fill Hunters Point South Park in Long Island City, each representing a Ukrainian child forcibly taken by russia.
This installation has traveled across North America, from Washington, D.C., to California and Canada. Now, it’s coming to New York during the UN General Assembly with one message: Ukrainian children cannot be forgotten, and no peace negotiations can leave them behind.
Join us on September 22, from 1:00 to 6:00 PM, with a press conference at 4:00 PM featuring Ukraine’s Deputy Foreign Minister Mariana Betsa, R.T. Weatherman Foundation President Meaghan Mobbs, and other prominent speakers.
If you’re a journalist, come cover it.
If you care about Ukraine and justice, come join us.
If you’re a Ukrainian activist in New York, you should be here.
Hunters Point South Park, Long Island City
September 22 | Press conference at 4:00 PM

Russia has abducted at least 20,000 Ukrainian children from their families. Just over 2,100 have been returned.
This is a deliberate campaign to erase their identity and steal Ukraine’s future.
Today, I introduced the bipartisan Justice for Ukrainian Children Act and hosted Ukrainian and human rights advocates to discuss how Congress can locate these children, reunite families, and hold the perpetrators accountable.
The United States cannot look away. We must help rescue these children and reunite them with their families.

If you claim to be against tyrannies, then BE against tyrannies! There is a great opportunity to punish russian and iranian regimes for what they have done to innocent people @HouseDemocrats 👇
‼️ Congress is voting on a massive sanctions bill against Russia TODAY!
This bill can help turn the tide against Russia's invasion and it's the last chance to pass pro-Ukraine legislation this Congress. But Ukraine needs your help. Call your representative and tell them to pass the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia Act.
A message from @avalaina and @AlinejadMasih: Ukraine can't wait!

This huge hurdle could be overcome by simply reading the bill. If you didn't, @AmericaforUA got 600 ppl who did and who are coming to your office to deliver the summary
One of the biggest misconceptions about the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act is that it gives the president unlimited authority to impose tariffs on any country.
It doesn’t.
The bill allows tariffs of up to 100% on the five largest buyers of Russian oil or gas and the five largest facilitators of Russian oil sanctions evasion. The broader legislation also targets Russian officials, financial institutions, the shadow fleet, and other sanctions-evasion networks.
The purpose is to reduce the energy revenue helping finance russia’s war against Ukraine.
The bill also addresses Iran, including by extending the Iran Sanctions Act. The House is expected to consider the legislation next.
Understanding what is actually in the bill matters as Congress debates it.

I guess all the fake arguments about "escalation" suddenly disappear when the russian drone flies over your head. Huh. It's time, Europe, it's time
NEW!! French presidential candidate Attal calls for Europe to seize frozen Russian assets and use them to make Putin pay for the war, after a Russian strike hit infrastructure just 2 km from Poland.
“This strike at our doorstep must serve as a wake-up call,” he says.

Ukrainians & Europeans: pass the bill!
The House: the bill will hurt Europe and Ukraine
@HouseDemocrats @HouseGOP there are much mor worth things to oppose than tariffs on buyers of russian oil.

As the House prepares to vote on the Russia sanctions bill, it’s worth noting the legislation has strong backing in Europe
Estonia’s top diplomat just put it plainly: “We commend the U.S. Congress for their efforts and hope to see the Russian sanctions bill pass into law.”

Never forget: security is not a given. Freedom must be protected. Nothing justifies the killing of innocent people.
Razom for Ukraine joins people across the United States and around the world in remembering the innocent victims of the horrific and brutal terrorist attacks of 9/11. We honor their memory and stand with all those who continue to carry the pain and loss of that day.

Why exactly did the State Department decide to cancel (!) and create 2 separate grants 4 months after their original one was posted and 1 month before the end of the fiscal year? Did none of the multiple existing applicants meet the criteria? So who WILL get the funding?
