RUSSIA DESTROYS
CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL

Locals in Ukraine Use Mass Graves to Bury Thousands

This Wednesday, the forces of Russian President Vladimir Putin launched an attack that targeted and destroyed a Children's Hospital and Maternity Ward in Mariupol. Police and soldiers rushed to the scene to evacuate victims, both children and expectant mothers.

This missile attack was committed during what was meant to be a cease-fire. However, this is yet another cease-fire which was broken again by Russian Forces. And Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba called the hospital attack a “petrifying war crime” while appealing for more help from other world leaders.

RUSSIA DENIES HOSPITAL STRIKE
The he Russian Defense Ministry claimed explosions were staged to smear Russia

In response to world-wide condemnation of the attack on the Maripol Children's hospital, Russia’s Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov denied any Russian Military involvement.  Instead, he stated that blasts that decimated the hospital were planted in an attempt create fake news and incite anti-Russian sentiment.

This statement was much different than what Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated earlier, that it was being used as a base of operations by far-right radical fighters. Lavrov also laid claim that the hospital had no patients within, despite photographs and video footage to the contrary.

JUSSIE SMOLLETT

SENTENCED FOR STAGING HATE CRIME
The Fallen Star Sentenced to 150 days in Jail and 30 Months Probation

The trial that sentenced the former "Empire" actor for lying to police over three years ago after he asked two men to “fake beat him up” and shout racist and homophobic slurs at him ended this week in a conviction.

After sentencing, Smollett professed his innocence while clasping his hands together in prayer. However, this did not move the Judge.  Instead, Judge James Linn called the actor a “disgrace” and a charlatan pretending to be the victim of a hate crime and that’s his testimony was "pure perjury."

THE PUTINY CONTINUES

MORALE DWINDLES AMONG RUSSIAN TROOPS

A senior member of the US Defense Department stated to reporters that not all of the Russian troops were fully trained, prepared, or even knew they were going into a combat operation.  And now, it appears that a number of them are so discouraged that they began sabotaging their own equipment and started surrendering to Ukraine forces.

The acts of vandalism include puncturing vehicle gas tanks, presumably so the soldiers can avoid being transported into combat.

Entire units of Russian soldiers, many that are young and inexperienced, have even laid down their weapons rather than fight Ukrainian defenders.
