Putin Tightens Grip On Ukraine And Russia With Martial Law

putin-tightens-grip-on-ukraine-and-russia-with-martial-law

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin declared martial law Wednesday in the four regions of Ukraine that Moscow annexed and gave all regional governors in Russia emergency powers that open the door for sweeping new restrictions throughout the country.

Putin didn’t immediately spell out the steps that would be taken under martial law, but said his order was effective starting Thursday. His decree gave law enforcement agencies three days to submit specific proposals and orders the creation of territorial defense forces in the annexed regions.

The upper house of Russia’s parliament quickly endorsed Putin’s decision to impose martial law in the annexed Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia regions. The approved legislation indicated the declaration may involve restrictions on travel and public gatherings, tighter censorship and broader authority for law enforcement agencies.

“We are working to solve very difficult large-scale tasks to ensure Russia’s security and safe future, to protect our people,” Putin said in televised remarks at the start of a Security Council meeting. “Those who are on the frontlines or undergoing training at firing ranges and training centers should feel our support and know that they have our big, great country and unified people behind their back.”

On Saturday, the Russian Defense Ministry said two men fired at soldiers on a military firing range near Ukraine, killing 11 and wounding 15. The ministry said two men from an unnamed former Soviet republic fired on volunteer soldiers during target practice before they were killed by return fire.

Putin didn’t provide details of the extra powers the heads of Russian regions will have under his decree. However, the order states that measures envisaged by martial law could be introduced anywhere in Russia “when necessary.”

According to the Russian legislation, martial law could require banning public gatherings, introducing travel bans and curfews, and conducting censorship, among other restrictions.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin’s order doesn’t anticipate the closure of Russia’s borders, state news agency RIA-Novosti reported. In an apparent attempt to assuage a nervous public, regional authorities rushed to declare that no immediate curfews or restrictions on travel were planned.

Putin last month ordered a mobilization of army reservists, prompting hundreds of thousands of men to flee Russia.

The Russian leader on Wednesday also ordered the establishment of a Coordination Committee to increase interactions between government agencies in dealing with the fighting in Ukraine, which Putin continued to call a “special military operation.”

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, who was named to lead the committee, said it would focus on boosting supplies of weapons and military equipment, conducting construction work and facilitating transportation.

In Russia’s regions bordering Ukraine, authorities plan to tighten security at key facilities and conduct checks of motorists, among other measures, according to Andrei Kartapolov, head of the defense committee of Russian lower house of parliament.

Why The South Side? Childhood Trauma Often Leads To Violence

why-the-south-side?-childhood-trauma-often-leads-to-violence

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — How do we perform under stress?

Karen Guerrieri, of the Mahoning County Juvenile Court, says it’s chemistry and physiology that determine what a human being does under stress.

But for someone who is a child and is consistently exposed to the kind of stress that comes from violence, using those instincts often at a young age can lead to issues later on in life.

There are lots of statistics and studies that bear that out, but it’s not just the experts who say that.

Take a look at just about any sentencing memorandum for a person about to be sentenced for a violent crime or selling drugs. Almost every defendant was exposed to violence at a young age, either in their neighborhood or through their family history. They end up engaging in the same kind of behavior and go to prison for long stretches of time.

How does that kind of trauma affect a whole neighborhood? As part of our series exploring why the South Side has been the most violent part of Youngstown for at least the last 30 years, WKBN has talked to experts in the field of childhood trauma to find out how exposure to violence can shape a person’s behavior and what can be done to counteract it.

First, WKBN looked at the population statistics, if there were some accurate ones, and unfortunately, there are not.

The 2020 U.S. Census data for Youngstown does not include a breakdown of the population by age for each census tract. That will not be available until May 2023 and may not be available at all because the city’s population has dropped below 65,000, the benchmark for providing such statistics.

The census does say that Youngstown has 15,052 people 19 and under, which is just over 23 percent of the city’s total population.

To find a rough estimate of how many school-aged children there are on the South Side, WKBN checked the enrollment figures for the two neighborhood schools on the South Side, Taft Elementary and The Rayen Early College at Williamson School. According to those figures, Taft has 337 students from pre-K to fifth grade and 310 students at Williamson in grades five through eight.

Several studies, including one by the Violence Prevention Coalition, say that continued exposure to violence as a young person can lead to poor grades; lower aspirations for the future; difficulty in forming trusting relationships; an inability to tell the difference between a threat and something that is safe; and an inhibited development of confidence and a secure sense of self.

Exposure to violence at a young age can also lead to improper development of areas of the brain that help people make decisions and control their impulses and can lead to stress, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder, according to the study.

And that can lead to problems when they have children themselves. According to the study, that can lead to them passing on PTSD to their children, and often, those children are more likely to become victims of violence themselves.

So far in 2022, 10 people 18 and under have been shot, including one homicide. Six of those people and the homicide took place on the South Side.

In 2021, five people 18 and under were murdered in Youngstown. Three of them were killed on the South Side.

Guerrieri, the clinical supervisor of Clinical Services at the juvenile court, said because kids aren’t fully developed, using those instincts at a young age can lead to the problems described above that will linger on into adulthood if not addressed.

“It impacts individuals through their entire life span, and they can pass it on to their children,” she said.

Joe Shorokey, who heads up ALTA Behavioral Healthcare, said exposure to violence can also force young people to self-isolate, which hurts them because they are not around their peers or other people.

“That interferes with normal child and adolescent development because we are social beings,” Shorokey said.

Valerie Burney, of the Mahoning County Board of Mental Health and Recovery, said the loss of an older loved one to violence can also lead a younger person down the wrong path toward violence. She said exposure to violence at a young age can also cause bullying or cause that person to make themselves a target of violence.

Guerrieri said all children who are placed in the Juvenile Justice Center are screened beforehand and asked a series of questions to determine if they have been exposed to violence. If they have been, there is a range of counseling and educational programs for them to try and help them.

Shorokey said ALTA has several programs for teens who have been exposed to violence, especially in 2020 and 2021, as the number of shootings and homicides in Youngstown skyrocketed from 58 in 2019 to 98 in 2020 and 139 in 2021.

“We felt it was something we needed to address as a mental health provider,” Shorokey said.

Shorokey said one of the highlights of their programs is that kids meet other kids who have been exposed to gun violence or any kind of violence.

“They have to understand they are not alone and there are people like them,” Shorokey said.

Burney also said that having kids meet their peers who have experienced the same kinds of trauma is good for them because it lets them know there are others who have the same feelings they do. She also said a good way to combat that trauma is with positive activities, especially after school, and positive relationships.

Decreasing stressors, she said, can help the kids personally and their neighborhoods as well when they go back home.

“They see the positive outcomes of being involved,” she said.

To see how childhood trauma can affect a person, a look at a sentencing memorandum for someone who faces a judge for a gun or drug offense is often telling. In the memorandums, defense attorneys often chronicle their clients’ backgrounds, including their childhood, to offer an explanation for their behavior.

Dewon Dawson, Jr., now 38, grew up in a poor Youngstown neighborhood “rife with crime and violence,” according to the memorandum written by his attorney in November of 2021, when he was facing a sentence in federal court for being a part of a drug ring.

Dawson’s father left the family at a very young age, and he dropped out of school when he was in eighth grade, according to the memorandum. He began smoking marijuana and drinking, and at the age of 18, began taking cocaine, which quickly developed into a daily crack cocaine habit until he was arrested in April of 2019, according to court documents.

In 2008, he beat a murder rap for a shooting death on West Myrtle Avenue after a witness recanted their testimony, leading prosecutors to drop the charges against Dawson and two others.

When a search warrant was served in March of 2018 at an Idlewood Avenue home as part of the investigation, one of the defendants had over $153,000 cash and four guns, a trial brief said.

The brief said Dawson had a .40-caliber handgun, a .38-caliber revolver, a .32-caliber revolver and an AK-47 pistol; over 54 grams of cocaine; and $6,800 cash. He was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison, a sentence agreed upon by his attorney and federal prosecutors.

More recently, Willie Daniel Jr., who was being sentenced on a federal gun charge in September, also had his childhood history recounted to a judge.

At just 26, Daniel has been affected by gunfire more than some people in combat zones. The memorandum recounted several incidents, including:

In 1999, his father was shot and left paralyzed.

In 2010, he was in a vehicle that was shot at multiple times but was not hit.

In 2011, two of his cousins were wounded in a drive-by shooting at an aunt’s house.

In 2012, another cousin was killed during an argument, and an uncle was murdered.

In 2013, while on bond in a 2012 robbery case, he was shot and wounded after someone fired several shots at a car he was riding in.

These are the more remarkable because Daniel spent several years in prison because of the 2012 robbery. He was arrested by Youngstown police in July 2021 with a gun. He received a five-year sentence on Sept. 23 in federal court for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Youngstown police Capt. Rod Foley, who served for a time as chief and also served two stints as chief of detectives, said one of the reasons why he formed the Community Initiative To Reduce Violence (CIRV) was to try and make an impact on young people who were already in trouble or were on the cusp of being there.

CIRV is a program that offers services — such as counseling, educational help, employment or other services to people who are believed to be at risk of either engaging in gun violence or being a victim of gun violence.

Foley said one of the things that he has seen during his over 30 years in the department is how young people, especially those exposed to either random violence or crime through older family members, often fall into a life of crime themselves.

“A lot of times, you could foresee it coming,” he said.

Pelosi Says She Doesn't Regret Threatening To Punch Trump – KION546

pelosi-says-she-doesn't-regret-threatening-to-punch-trump-–-kion546

By Annie Grayer and Aaron Pellish, CNN

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday that she does not regret threatening to punch then-President Donald Trump on January 6, 2021, if he came to the Capitol, but “he wouldn’t have had the courage to come to the Hill. He is all talk.”

“That’s right,” Pelosi told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell when asked to address her comments about Trump on January 6. “I would have punched him out. I said I would have punched him out. I would have gone to jail. And I would have been happy to do so.”

When Mitchell followed up to ask if she would have punched Trump, Pelosi said: “He wouldn’t have had the courage to come to the Hill. He is all talk.”

Last week, CNN revealed previously unseen documentary footage of Pelosi captured by her daughter on January 6 showing the speaker reacting to her staff sharing reports that Trump was trying to come to the Capitol.

“If he comes, I’m going to punch him out. I’ve been waiting for this. For trespassing on the Capitol grounds, I’m going to punch him out. And I’m going to go to jail, and I’m going to be happy,” Pelosi said in the footage.

When asked if she would a support a criminal referral of Trump if he refuses to comply with the committee’s subpoena, Pelosi said, “That’s going to be up to the committee. Again, I keep my distance.”

In the footage that aired on CNN last week, Pelosi’s chief of staff notifies her that the Secret Service “dissuaded (Trump) from coming to Capitol Hill.” It’s unclear how the aide learned this. But the footage backs up the testimony of  Trump White House official Cassidy Hutchinson, who told the January 6 committee about Trump’s attempts to force his security detail to take him to the Capitol, but they overruled him.

The footage was captured by Alexandra Pelosi, a documentary filmmaker and daughter of the Democratic speaker of the House. Alexandra Pelosi has released documentaries on HBO for decades. CNN and HBO are both owned by the same parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery.

Nancy Pelosi was also asked in the Tuesday interview with MSNBC to address members of her own party who are calling for a new generation of Democratic leadership as they campaign ahead of the November midterms.

“I say, just win baby. Just win. If that’s what you have to say to win, fine. And we will not, in any way, do anything but totally supportive, mobilization-wise, message-wise, money-wise, for those people to win their races,” she said.

“Yes, we need generational change, of course we do. But, in some cases, there’s no substitute for experience” Pelosi added.

Primary Source For Trump-Russia Dossier Acquitted, Handing Special Counsel Durham Another Trial Loss | CNN Politics

primary-source-for-trump-russia-dossier-acquitted,-handing-special-counsel-durham-another-trial-loss-|-cnn-politics

John Durham, left, and Igor Danchenko

Alexandria, Virginia CNN  — 

Igor Danchenko, the primary source for the infamous Trump-Russia dossier, was acquitted Tuesday of four counts of lying to the FBI in an embarrassing defeat for special counsel John Durham.

Durham has taken two cases to trial, and both have ended in acquittals. After more than three years looking for misconduct in the FBI’s Trump-Russia probe, Durham has only secured one conviction: the guilty plea of a low-level FBI lawyer, who got probation.

The jury returned not guilty verdicts on all charges against Danchenko, a Russian expat and think tank analyst who provided the bulk of the material for the anti-Trump dossier. Durham initially charged Danchenko with five counts of lying to the FBI, but a judge threw out one of the charges on Friday.

Jurors deliberated for about nine hours at the federal courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia.

The verdict means jurors weren’t persuaded by Durham’s allegations that Danchenko lied to the FBI about his contacts with a Belarusian-American businessman who was a possible source for the dossier. The largely discredited dossier was a collection of unverified and salacious allegations compiled by retired British spy Christopher Steele, whose dirt-digging was indirectly funded by Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016.

In many ways, the verdict is a direct blow to Durham, who personally handled most of the arguments and witness questioning. The proceedings were rocky at times for the special counsel, who lashed out at some of his own witnesses after they ended up providing testimony that helped Danchenko’s defense.

Danchenko attorney Stuart Sears praised the result.

“We’ve known all along that Mr. Danchenko was innocent. We’re happy now that the American public knows that as well,” Sears told reporters outside the courthouse. “We thank these jurors for their hard work and deliberation in reaching the right decision.”

In a statement, Durham said: “While we are disappointed in the outcome, we respect the jury’s decision and thank them for their service. I also want to recognize and thank the investigators and the prosecution team for their dedicated efforts in seeking truth and justice in this case.”

The week-long trial against Danchenko resurrected many of the 2016 election dramas.

FBI agents described their efforts to corroborate the Steele dossier, which ultimately came up empty. Jurors were shown portions of Steele’s memos, which he has previously said weren’t ever meant to become public. The dossier’s primary allegation – that there was a “well-developed conspiracy of cooperation” between Donald Trump and the Russians – repeatedly came up throughout the proceedings.

Durham also used the case to put the FBI on trial, in what could be a preview of his upcoming final report. He zeroed in on the shortcomings and errors of the early Trump-Russia probe – specifically the bureau’s overreliance on the dossier to propel forward some key parts of their burgeoning inquiry.

Danchenko is a Russian citizen but has lived in the US for years with his family. The FBI once scrutinized him as a possible counterintelligence threat, but later paid him as an informant. Durham pressed Danchenko’s FBI handler about the possibility that he was a Russian spy. To the contrary, the witness said Danchenko was a treasured FBI informant and suggested that Durham hurt US national security by indicting him.

This story has been updated with additional details.

Iran Agrees To Ship Missiles, More Drones To Russia

iran-agrees-to-ship-missiles,-more-drones-to-russia

  • Iran to sell more drones, missiles to Russia
  • West heavily criticises Iran over drones
  • Tehran under pressure from mass protests

Oct 18 (Reuters) – Iran has promised to provide Russia with surface to surface missiles, in addition to more drones, two senior Iranian officials and two Iranian diplomats told Reuters, a move that is likely to infuriate the United States and other Western powers.

A deal was agreed on Oct. 6 when Iran’s First Vice President Mohammad Mokhber, two senior officials from Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guards and an official from the Supreme National Security Council visited Moscow for talks with Russia about the delivery of the weapons.

“The Russians had asked for more drones and those Iranian ballistic missiles with improved accuracy, particularly the Fateh and Zolfaghar missiles family,” said one of the Iranian diplomats, who was briefed about the trip.

A Western official briefed on the matter confirmed it, saying there was an agreement in place between Iran and Russia to provide surface-to-surface short range ballistic missiles, including the Zolfaghar.

One of the drones Iran agreed to supply is the Shahed-136, a delta-winged weapon used as a “kamikaze” air-to-surface attack aircraft. It carries a small warhead that explodes on impact.

Fateh-110 and Zolfaghar are Iranian short-range surface to surface ballistic missiles capable of striking targets at distances of between 300 km and 700 km (186 and 435 miles).

The Iranian diplomat rejected assertions by Western officials that such transfers breach a 2015 U.N. Security Council resolution.

“Where they are being used is not the seller’s issue. We do not take sides in the Ukraine crisis like the West. We want an end to the crisis through diplomatic means,” the diplomat said.

Ukraine has reported a spate of Russian attacks using Iranian-made Shahed-136 drones in recent weeks. Iran’s foreign ministry on Tuesday dismissed as baseless reports of Iran supplying drones and other weapons to Russia for use in Ukraine, while the Kremlin on Tuesday denied its forces had used Iranian drones to attack Ukraine.

Asked if Russia had used Iranian drones in its campaign in Ukraine, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the Kremlin did not have any information about their use.

“Russian equipment with Russian nomenclature is used,” he said. “All further questions should be directed to the Defence Ministry.”

The ministry did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

The appearance of Iranian missiles in addition to drones in Moscow’s arsenal in the war with Ukraine would raise tensions between Iran and the United States and other Western powers.

SHIPMENT ‘SOON, VERY SOON’

The U.S. State Department assessed that Iranian drones were used on Monday in a morning rush hour attack on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, a U.S. official said. White House spokesperson Karinne Jean-Pierre also accused Tehran of lying when it said Iranian drones are not being used by Russia in Ukraine.

A European diplomat said it was his country’s assessment that Russia was finding it more difficult to produce weaponry for itself given the sanctions on its industrial sector and so was turning to imports from partners like Iran and North Korea.

“Drones and missiles are a logical next step,” said the European diplomat.

Asked about sales of Iranian surface-to-surface missiles to Russia, a senior U.S. military official said: “I don’t have anything to provide at this time in terms of whether or not that is accurate at this point.”

Chafing under Western economic sanctions, Iran’s rulers are keen to strengthen strategic ties to Russia against an emerging, U.S.-backed Gulf Arab-Israeli bloc that could shift the Middle East balance of power further away from the Islamic Republic.

The top commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, Hossein Salami said last month some of the “world’s major powers” are willing to purchase military and defence equipment from Iran.

Rahim Safavi, a military adviser to Iran’s Supreme leader, was reported by state media on Tuesday as saying that 22 countries want to buy Iranian drones.

Iran’s rulers are also under pressure from nationwide demonstrations which were ignited by the death in custody of a 22-year-old woman detained for “inappropriate attire”.

Several European Union states on Monday called for sanctions on Iran over its supply of drones to Russia, as the bloc agreed a separate set of sanctions over Tehran’s crackdown on unrest.

“They (Russians) wanted to buy hundreds of our missiles, even mid-range ones, but we told them that we can ship soon a few hundred of their demanded Zolfaghar and Fateh 110 short-range, surface to surface missiles,” said one of the security officials.

“I cannot give you the exact time, but soon, very soon those will be shipped in 2 to three shipments.”

An Eastern European official tracking Russia’s weapons activity said it was their understanding that this arms deal was happening, although he had no specific evidence to back it up. The official said that a decision had been taken by the Iranian and Russian leaders to proceed with the transfer.

Moscow had specifically asked for surface to surface short-range Fateh 110 and Zolfaghar missiles, and the shipment will happen in a maximum of 10 days, said another Iranian diplomat.

ATTACK DRONES

The stakes are high for Iran, which has been negotiating with Western states to revive a 2015 deal that would ease sanctions on Tehran in return for limits on its nuclear work.

The talks have deadlocked, and any disputes between Tehran and Western powers over arms sales to Russia or Iran’s crackdown on the unrest could weaken efforts to seal an accord.

The United States agrees with British and French assessments that Iran supplying drones to Russia would violate a U.N. Security Council resolution that endorsed the 2015 deal, U.S. State Department spokesman Vedant Patel said on Monday.

The Western official, who declined to be identified due to the sensitive nature of the matter, said that like the drones, missile transfers would also violate U.N. resolution 2231.

Several senior Iranian officials are outraged about “unjust” planned sanctions on Iran over its arms shipments to Russia, said the second diplomat.

In September, Tehran had refused a request by President Vladimir Putin for the supply of Iran’s sophisticated Arash 2 long-range attack drones, three Iranian officials told Reuters.

When asked the reason for the refusal, one of the officials cited several issues including “some technical problems”.

“Also the (Revolutionary) Guards’ commanders were worried that if Russia uses this Arash 2 drone in Ukraine, Americans may have access to our technology.”
