2022-04-25 10:28:04 putin’s rumored lover and russian former gymnast Kabaeva is being spared from sanctions, - The Wall Street Journal reports

Officials have a sanctions package ready, but they continue to weigh the potential backlash for blacklisting the 39-year-old former Olympic gymnast.

Kabaeva, a former Olympic champion rhythmic gymnast known for an international doping scandal, is suspected of playing a role in hiding Putin’s personal wealth overseas, U.S. officials said, and remains a potential sanctions target.

The belief among U.S. officials debating the move is that sanctioning Kabaeva would be deemed so personal a blow to Putin that it could further escalate tensions between Russia and the U.S.

*Some might argue that it would only be fair that putin experiences some personal losses himself after the pain he had put entire nations through. Open / Comment

2022-04-25 10:26:44 Some actions of ruscists point to their intent on causing famine in Ukraine.. again, - the Center for Counteracting Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.

According to Ombudsman Lyudmyla Denisova, the enemy is taking grain stolen from Ukrainian farmers to the Crimean peninsula. A few days ago Sevastopol residents started reporting transshipments of grain, the stocks of which simply do not exist in Crimea.

At the same time, the russians have allowed the farmers of the Kherson region to sow only grain and sunflowers, and only if they agree to give 70% of the future harvest to the invaders free of charge. Most farmers refuse to cooperate.

In USSR, similar actions ordered by Joseph Stalin led to man-made famine Holodomor in Soviet Ukraine during 1932-1933. The death toll of ethnic Ukrainians resulting from Holodomor ranges from 3.5 to 10 million by modern estimates.
