🎙️ I joined Dr. Kateryna Rashevska and Dr. Paul R. Williams on the latest Lawyering Peace episode to talk about the forced deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia.
We talked about the legal classification, the challenges of bringing children home—and what must happen next.

🚨NEW: This is horrific.
Musk & DOGE closed the specialist unit at Yale tracking down Ukrainian children kidnapped & stolen by Russia.
HOWEVER, it now emerges the entire database may have been DELETED, destroying years of research needed to find missing children.
If so, there should be arrests.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.
