Ukraine war: Russian attacks force children near front line to evacuate – BBC News
Ukrainian children forced to leave their homes near the front line have begun to arrive in safer parts of the country.
Last week, parents were told they must move their families to safety from 31 settlements in the southern Kherson and eastern Donetsk regions.
Ukraine officials, who made the orders, said the fighting has become too intense for children to remain.
While millions of Ukrainians have fled the war abroad, the Ukrainian government estimates there are nearly five million internally displaced people in the country.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

This is not evacuation. These children were captured as prisoners of war. Cynically, BBC & others continue to refer to stealing children as evacuation in November 2023. kidnapping isn't accurate either. They are prisoners of war.

Someone wrote: “Russia is like the school bully who gets satisfaction from intimidating everyone: but little does he realise that he is ruining his future by not learning to get along with others and by not paying attention to his studies. He wants status, but can't differentiate fear from respect.”

It has become difficult to live in Russia due to severe penalties for freedom of speech. There is no freedom of speech in Russia. If a person expresses his point of view, he can be punished under Articles 280 and 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation for extremism. For any, even harmless, comment on the Internet, a person can be sent to prison. It became scary to write anything and express my point of view, for example, about a special military operation. If a person makes anti-militarist statements, he can be prosecuted for extremism and put in prison. A person may not even know that he can be punished for some absurd, harmless words. There is no justice in Russia. The chance of an acquittal in Russian courts is zero.

Ukraine war is losing support in the U.S., and no longer useful for politicians(wasted tragedy). Thanks to Russia not cowering to NATO/Israel pressure.
No problem, have our Israeli (Chaldeans) brothers start another “war” against the Palestinians, because any “War” against “Gods chosen people” gets the U.S. religious people all riled up. The Jewish tragedy is never wasted & works every time.
The U.S. appears to have suspended their $$$ aid for Ukraine, and rerouted through phony “Yisrael”, who are Chaldean mafia style crooks.
This Chaldean organizations’ founding fathers were Abraham, Isaac & Yakov. Read Genesis 12, 15, 32. The story of the Chaldeans becoming “governed by God” was all concocted in their dreams & visions as if these hallucinations are legally binding & acceptable to any rational thinking people???
Religious people are not rational thinkers, they are “faithful” & wishful thinkers. Religious opinions don’t matter on issues concerning truth, righteousness or Justice.

Skepticism already existed before the first dollar bill arrived in Ukraine as aid, but it was not for those Ukrainians who wanted to see it in their pocket, as well as all corrupt Western interests.
Recognition of counteroffensive 'stalemate' by Kiev leads to skepticism in US Congress
Valeri Zaluzhny, commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, admitted that Russia is in a better position in the armed conflict due to its larger population and a more robust economy with more resources, while also acknowledging the lack of progress in the counteroffensive.
