A Yazidi boy (10) taken and trained to become a Jihadi by Isis was saved by a number his mother gave him moments before they were separated. He recited it every day for three years not knowing whose number it was. You can read this incredible story in tomorrow's @IrishTimes

And if you still think the Ukrainians did it, you haven’t been paying attention to the mountain of evidence that, since last year, had been pointing the other way.

Despite the limited military utility of blowing up the dam (Ukraine was certainly interested in river crossings as part of its military planning), Russia was willing to trigger an environmental disaster that hurts people as much - perhaps more - in areas Moscow calls “Russian”

Tents as far as the eye can see.. Aerial photograph of IDP camp in northern #Syria. Under each tent, there are countless stories of persecution and tragedy as a result of #Assad and #Russia's war on #Syrians.

Timothy Morales, an American teacher, hid from the Russian military through the entire eight-month occupation of Kherson in Ukraine. He rarely ventured out, switched apartments and pretended to be Irish, afraid that his nationality had made him a target. nyti.ms/3Agv4ni

A Nuremburg-style trial exposing the crimes of the Soviet era could have helped facilitate the post-Soviet transition to democracy and prevented Russia’s return to authoritarianism under Putin.   atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainea…

Bucha officials are as close as they're ever likely to be to a final reckoning of the toll of Russia’s murderous rampage in Bucha: 458 bodies - 366 men. 86 women. 5 in too bad condition to determine. 9 children. Our story: washingtonpost.com/world/2022/08/…

I urge @UN which facilitated the evacuation of Ukrainian servicemen from Azovstal to strongly condemn Russia for shelling the Olenivka detention facility and visit the site to establish all facts of this heinous crime. I also call on @ICRC to check all Ukrainian prisoners of war.

15,000 Russians sitting in this circle with no easy way out. The bridges are now structurally insifficient to hold Russian gear, even trucks. Some soldiers might escape but that gear now belongs to Ukraine, in toasted form or hopefully, working order. Ukraine playing smart war

We can’t be 100% sure there hadn’t been any Ukrainian military equipment in the fields we saw that burned, but we saw no evidence of it. And the frequency of missiles landing in fields in #Ukraine, along with the weapons used, suggests that they really are doing it on purpose
