Mariupol, a port city on the Sea of Azov, was encircled and captured by Russian forces at the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. This included the establishment of ad hoc distribution points for food, water and other basic necessities. They were attacking food distribution points.”There were numerous opportunities for Russian forces to alleviate civilian suffering, he said, but they failed to do so. Ukrainian authorities and some international officials have previously accused Russia of robbing the country of grain and other commodities in areas it occupied. Accusations that Russia is using food as a weapon of war have been mounting ever since the first reports emerged in the spring of 2022 of grain being stolen by Russian troops.

WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department on Thursday issued new sanctions against Russian security operatives for the 2020 poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. The sanctions come two weeks after a Russian court sentenced Navalny to an additional 19 years in prison on extremism charges. Panyaev is described by Treasury as an "FSB operative who reportedly tailed Navalny on multiple occasions prior to the attack." The sanctions complement the State Department's announcement of visa restrictions against the operatives for involvement in gross violations of human rights. FSB officers used the nerve agent Novichok, which was created by the Soviet Union, to poison Navalny, the Treasury memo said.

☆ UV light from gel manicures can cause cancer-causing mutations, study finds

In fact, the results reaffirm the reason why some dermatologists have changed the way they get their gel manicures or have stopped getting them altogether. “Tanning beds are listed as carcinogenic and UV nail lamps are mini tanning beds for your nails in order to cure the gel nail,” Curtis said. “I would recommend alternatives to gel nails, such as the new wraps that are available online.” (Gel nail wraps or strips are stick-on gel nail products that don’t always require being set by UV nail dryers.) Some salons use LED lights, which “are thought to emit either no UV light or much, much lower amounts,” Lipner said. Russak doesn’t get gel manicures very often but uses sunscreen and gloves when she does, she said.

La nici două zile după ce agenții secreți au fost localizați în proximitatea lui Bikov, acesta s-a îmbolnăvit subit în avion, exact ca Navalnîi, și a căzut în comă pentru cinci zile. Dmitri Bikov a plecat apoi spre Ekaterinburg, iar în ziua următoare spre Ufa. A fost pus pe ventilație artificială și tratat simptomatic, inclusiv cu antibiotice împotriva unei "infecții bacteriene" din sursă necunoscută. Bikov a declarat că medicii care l-au tratat i-au spus că nu au găsit sursa infecției. Critic foarte vocal al guvernului, Bikov a refuzat de două ori invitația de a-l întâlni pe Vladimir Putin, în cadrul unor evenimente culturale.
