Putin’s Crackdown On Transgender Russians

 



A new law in Russia criminalizes all surgery and hormone treatments used for gender transitions. 



It comes on top of a measure enacted last December prohibiting the representation of L.G.B.T.Q. relationships in any media — streaming services, social platforms, books, music, posters, billboards or film.



Together, the legislative changes underscore how President Vladimir Putin is increasingly using the war in Ukraine as justification for greater restrictions on L.G.B.T.Q. life, portraying it as a consequence of deviant Western values.


From the war;


Danube River ports are now the only shipping outlet for Ukrainian grain. Russia has made it clear that the ports are just as much a target as any vessel in the Black Sea.

Russia said a drone had hit a central Moscow building for the second time in 48 hours, blaming Ukraine.

Ukraine Halted The Flow Of Russian Natural Gas To Europe

Image
Ukraine refused yesterday to renew an agreement that allowed the country’s territory to be used as a corridor for Russian gas to travel to Europe, according to officials in both countries, NYT reports. The move is part of a broader campaign by Ukraine and its Western allies to undermine the ability of Russia to fund its war effort, but there are risks. Moscow could retaliate by bombing Ukraine’s pipelines, a vast network that has been largely spared over the past three years of conflict. Europe was prepared for the move, so analysts expect little effect on gas prices there. Hungary, Austria and several Balkan countries still use Russian gas delivered through Ukraine, but experts say that existing stockpiles and alternative supplies should prevent cuts to electricity and heating in those countries. Slovakia, which is still heavily dependent on Russian gas, threatened to retaliate against Ukraine.

I had listened to both Davido and Wizkid's music, and I think they are both fantastic.

He once traversed the country to help those who had less privilege. In 2021, the artist donated about ₦200 million after disclosing his bank account details on Twitter. In July 2023, he stated that the charity had provided over 200 million to orphanages around the country, benefiting 13,818 youngsters. So, if someone like Davido speaks about Nigeria, I believe people should listen to him. Has he held any post in Nigeria? Does he have a track record of plundering public funds, unlike many who have brou...
