The ability to criticize public policies in Russia, especially invasion to Ukraine, narrows, with around 12,700 people detained illegally in anti-war protests, said U.N. Michelle Bachelet’s official ham on Tuesday. “I remain worried about the use of repressive legislation that hinders the implementation of civil and political rights and criminalizes non-violent behavior,” Bachelet told the Human Rights Council in Geneva, spoke with video messages. He said that ‘unclear and too broad’ definitions of extremism and incitement for hatred in Russia have caused legal interpretations that are not in line with their human rights obligations. “Further legislation criminalizes the ‘discrediting’ state of the armed forces continue along this road,” he added.

Sumy Governor Dmitro Zhivitskiy said in a video statement that the first bus had left Sumy for the city of Poltava, farther west.

Residents also left the city of Irpin, the front outskirts of Kyiv where Reuters reporters have filmed a family to escape because their lives under fierce bombards on Sundays. Residents ran with their small children on a stroller or carrying a baby, while others carry pets and plastic bags of goods. “The city is almost destroyed, and the district where I live, it’s like no house that isn’t bombed,” said a young mother, holding a baby under a blanket, while her daughter stood by her side. “Yesterday was the hardest bombing, and the lights and sounds were very scary, and the whole building vibrated.”
The Kremlin war against Ukraine has encouraged several priests in the country to call a break from the Russian Orthodox Church, which belonged to their parish for centuries. Like many of their social and cultural fabric, Ukraine and Russia have been established with their religious beliefs for hundreds of years. But President Vladimir Putin’s war, who had killed hundreds and forced more than 1.7 million people to escape from the country, had changed it too. “The Russian president is a fabric today,” said Iov Olshansky, a priest at the Orthodox Monastery of the New Athos Awakening in the Western City of Lviv. In the Bible, Fabrics, Adam and Eve’s first son, killed his brother Abel. “The only way for our church is independence,” he said.
