Ukrainian children who were abducted and taken to Russia in the early months of the Kremlin’s 2022 invasion have been put up for adoption by authorities, in one case under a false Russian identity, a Financial Times investigation has found.Using image recognition tools and public records, as well as interviews with Ukrainian officials and the children’s relatives, the FT identified and located four Ukrainian children on the Russian government-linked adoption website usynovite.ru.The findings add to the mounting body of evidence that the International Criminal Court, Ukrainian government officials and legal experts say point to alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Russia.The children were abducted from state care homes and separated from their guardians and relatives in towns across the southern and eastern regions of Ukraine that fell under the control of Russia’s invading army in 2022. They range in age from eight to 15-years-old.The children traced by the FT and whose identities were confirmed with their families by the Ukrainian authorities have ended up in the Tula region near Moscow and in the Orenburg region close to the Kazakh border. One of the children was taken to occupied Crimea.

The European Commission shocked China on Wednesday by imposing duties of up to 38.1 percent on electric vehicle imports from July 4 — a level that was much higher than expected — potentially triggering a trade war at a time of great political uncertainty in Europe.The provisional duties, which come after a months-long investigation into Chinese state aid to its EV-makers, drew immediate condemnation from Beijing, which has already threatened retaliation against European farmers and plane makers and launched an anti-dumping probe targeting the French spirits industry.“When our partners breach the rules, we will assert our rights,” EU trade chief Valdis Dombrovskis said in a written statement shared with reporters.A senior EU official said Chinese EVs “are subsidized from mine to EU harbor,” because Beijing has pumped money into mining lithium, refining metals, steel-making, production of batteries and cars and shipping them to Rotterdam or Hamburg.In a first response, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce to the EU expressed its “shock, grave disappointment and deep dissatisfaction with this protectionist measure by the [European Commission]” and denounced the anti-subsidy investigation as a “witch hunt.”

Hezbollah launched more than 170 rockets and several more missiles and drones at northern Israel on Wednesday, in what it said was a response to the killing of a senior commander in the terror group by an Israeli airstrike a night earlier.The barrages marked the largest attack carried out by Hezbollah during ongoing fighting on the Lebanon border, amid the war in the Gaza Strip.The successive attacks began on Wednesday morning with a barrage of at least 90 rockets fired at several areas in northern Israel, including Tiberias — for the first time amid the war — Safed and Rosh Pina, sending tens of thousands of people to shelters, as Jewish Israelis celebrated the Shavuot holiday.The Israel Defense Forces said another 70 rockets were then launched at the Mount Meron area, home to a sensitive air traffic control base. Ten more rockets were fired at Kibbutz Zar’it, and an anti-tank guided missile struck a factory of the Plasan armored vehicle manufacturer in Kibbutz Sasa, causing damage.Later in the morning, a drone launched from Lebanon detonated in an open area near the northern community of Zivon, local authorities said.
