Putin targets anti-vax groups, others with disinformation – Los Angeles Times

Jennifer Granston, head of insights at the social media analytics firm Zignal Labs, said the conspiracy theory that the Ukraine conflict is a government-manufactured distraction from supposed harms of COVID-19 vaccines is one of the disinformation narratives her company has monitored in recent days, along with the claim, embraced by a Russian state media outlet, that the invasion is a mere “peacekeeping mission.” Source: Putin targets anti-vax groups, others with disinformation – Los Angeles Times

Google Faces Sanctions Dilemma With Pro-Russia YouTube Channels – Slashdot

European Union sanctions, for instance, would target Vladimir Solovyov, a TV and radio journalist behind a YouTube channel with more than 1 million subscribers. An EU report issued on Wednesday said that “Solovyov is known for his extremely hostile attitude toward Ukraine and praise of the Russian government.” A four-hour video livestream published overnight on his YouTube channel about the Russian military attacks had over 2.7 million views within its first nine hours. That video also ran advertisements, at least for U.S. viewers. Source: Google Faces Sanctions Dilemma With Pro-Russia YouTube Channels – Slashdot

‘I’m panicking — where is my child?’ Conscript soldiers are being sent to fight against Ukraine, their relatives say. Here’s what their families told Meduza. — Meduza

In mid-February, the Committee of Soldiers’ Mothers started receiving calls from the parents of soldiers fulfilling their mandatory military service requirement at military units around Russia. All of the parents were saying the same thing: either their sons had been forced to sign contracts, or they’d just been sent to the territories of the military units on the border with Ukraine.

Committee of Soldiers’ Mothers director Olga Larkina told Meduza that in the past week, the majority of conscripts were sent to bases in Belgorod Region. Most of the parents either didn’t know the number of the base their child was sent to or declined to say it for fear of harming their child.

‘To be silent means to become an accomplice,’ St. Petersburg Pen Club’s Statement

We – St. Petersburg’s writers, poets, publishers, editors – are outraged by a war which Russia astrted against Ukraine, by the shellings of Ukrainian cities. We are witnessing a crime that needs to be stopped. To be silent means to become an accomplice. We are against war with Ukraine. We are writing this from the city that survived blockade, Here the children are still taught to not throw out the bread. Withdraw the troops and stop the massacre, until it is too late.

Over 5 Million Children Have Lost a Caregiver to the Pandemic, Study Says – The New York Times

A new study estimates that at least 5.2 million children around the world lost a parent or other caregiver to Covid-19 in the first 19 months of the pandemic.

“Children are suffering immensely now and need our help,” said Susan Hillis, a senior researcher at the University of Oxford and a lead author of the study, which was published in the medical journal The Lancet on Thursday.

The study was based on data from 20 countries, including India, the United States and Peru, and was completed by an international research team that included experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization and several colleges and universities.

It warns that a child who loses a parent or a caregiver could suffer negative effects including an increased risk of poverty, sexual abuse, mental health challenges and severe stress.

An earlier study, focused on the first 13 months of the pandemic, arrived at an estimate of 1.5 million affected children. The new figure is much higher not just because it adds data for six more months, researchers say, but also because the first estimate was a significant undercount. Using updated figures on Covid-related deaths, the researchers now calculate that at least 2.7 million children lost a parent or caregiver during the first 13 months.
