Russian troops near Kharkiv unwittingly record their crimes on cloud- synced stolen phone https://english.nv.ua/nation/russia...es-on-cloud-synced-stolen-phone-50264621.html Russian soldiers who broke into the home of a Ukrainian woman in Tsirkuny, Kharkiv Oblast, unwittingly documented their crimes on her stolen phone, Kharkiv Oblast police detective chief Serhiy Bolvinov said in a Facebook post on Aug. 20. The woman contacted police when she noticed video clips of drunken men in military garb popping up on her Google Drive. “Broken doors, lots of stolen appliances, stolen clothes – including lingerie; and, of course, a (stolen) washing machine – the calling card of the enemy horde that came to ravage our land,” said Bolvinov. “They were taking pictures on the stolen (phone) while being too stupid to disable cloud sync.” He noted that the Kremlin troops were visibly astounded to see an exotic bottle of liquor, with a scorpion and a snake inside. “Most of their identities have already been confirmed,” the detective added. “Notably, they are from major Russian cities – Moscow, Kursk, Nizhny Novgorod. You’d think they would have seen liquor bottles and washing machines before.”

The kidnapping of children by Russia... Krasnodar child protection service reports adoption of ‘over 1,000 babies from liberated Mariupol,’ then deletes news https://novayagazeta.eu/articles/20...rom-liberated-mariupol-then-deletes-news-news The Krasnodar City Department for Family and Childhood Affairs recently published news about the adoption of a thousand children from Mariupol by families from different Russian cities. The article was later removed from the agency's website, but is still available in the online archive. “Over 1,000 babies from liberated Mariupol have already found new families in Tyumen, Irkutsk, Kemerovo and the Altai region. More than 300 children are also in temporary custody at specialised institutions in the Krasnodar Region and are looking forward to meeting their new families,” the guardianship authorities said on their website. The announcement also mentioned the availability of a one-off allowance for Russian citizens who decide to adopt a child. The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) reacted to the publication and called the abduction of children a violation of the 1949 Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War. “We call on the international community, in particular the UN, to condemn Russia's ongoing crimes against children in Ukraine and to take immediate measures against Moscow to stop its audacious violations of international law. All Ukrainian children illegally displaced on Russian territory should be returned to their parents or legal guardians,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement. In early August, Russian State Duma deputies introduced a bill banning the adoption of Russian orphans by citizens of “unfriendly” countries. Over 50 states are currently on Russia’s “Unfriendly Countries List” — among them are all 27 EU member states, Australia, the UK, the USA, Canada, Korea, Norway, Ukraine and others.
