Putin Discusses Child Abduction as Russian Woman Admits to Kidnapping 4-Year-Old From Ukraine
On March 7, during a meeting with employees and beneficiaries of the Defenders of the Fatherland Fund, Russian leader Vladimir Putin had a conversation with Olga Doryokhina, who openly described how she kidnapped a 4-year-old Ukrainian girl from the temporarily occupied Kherson region and was attempting to adopt her.
“In the Kherson region, we found our daughter. She is already with our family, currently under guardianship. We are working on formal adoption, but to us, she is our sunshine,” Doryokhina said.
Putin asked the child’s age, to which she replied, “Four years old.”
She went on to describe the abduction as a joyful event, saying, “A piece of happiness has returned to our family.”
“We consolidated and expanded partnerships across the globe, stayed committed to true multilateralism, and played a positive and constructive role in addressing global challenges and resolving regional and international hotspot issues,” [Chinese PM] Li said.
Does ‘resolving regional and international hotpots issues’ mean China’s support for Russia’s war in Ukraine? China’s aggression in the South China sea? Against Taiwan? China’s recent military drill near Australia and New Zealand that forced passenger planes to divert flights? The oppression of Uyghurs, Tibetans, and other minorities in China? The transnational repression of exiled dissidents by the Chinese state across the world? The thousands of foreigners wrongfully detained in China? Any of the other issues?
What challenges does he mean?

Vodafone and AST SpaceMobile to provide space-based broadband in Europe
Vodafone and AST SpaceMobile have formed a new satellite service business called SatCo to provide secure space-based cellular broadband connectivity for customers all around Europe. With this, customers all over the continent, even in hard to reach areas, could access the internet on any of their devices […] According to the current timetable, the new system is set to go live across Europe in 2025 and 2026. The system has already been tested by Vodafone, when, in January, it made a mobile video call in an area without any reception. Hopefully, this will cut down on the reliance of Starlink, and give European consumers more choice.
