Breaking: Here he is — Putin greeted in China by Foreign Minister Wang Yi, one of the most senior and influential officials in the entire Chinese government.

Since 2014 coup in Kiev , there have been reports of children going missing by the 100s and suspected child sex slavery and organ harvesting . In 2023, Ukrainian military were kidnapping children near the combat zones, civilians in Avdeevka and Bakhmut hide their kids from them: This was confirmed by the head of the Avdeevka Civil-Military Administration, Vitaly Barabash: -" they are really crazy... telling there are no kids in town, they were moved to the relatives. But not one of them gave us any proof of that... The police are going inside the house, mother and father are there, but not the child. They searched the entire building - nothing. So, they are hiding them. Therefore, we hide them or escape" "a house with a family was mysteriously shelled after a visit from the Ukrainian army evacuation team. The woman refused to leave with them and that night the house was hit, a 5 months old baby was killed." A similar story was told by a resident of Bakhmut where Ukrainian military kidnapped children to force the whole family to evacuate to Ukraine. The Ukrainian Armed Forces, together with the organizations "White Angel" and "Phoenix", forcibly took children out of Bakhmut in order to force their parents to evacuate to the territory of Ukraine. ◾This was told by Natalya Tkachenko, a local resident and mother of a 13-year-old girl. Children, according to her, were specially sought out, and in case of refusal to leave, they were taken away by force. - Therefore, we had a period when we simply hid our children. We hid them in cold apartments, hid at other addresses, in other basements, that is, not where they were registered or seen before. - If the car drove into the yard or appeared somewhere, the adults would quickly take the girls, go to other floors they had keys for, close them into cold apartments, and they sat still as a mouse until the cars left.
