Approximately nine thousand youngsters will be taken out of the Russian district of Belgorod because cross-border raids by Russian volunteers fighting for Ukraine have occurred. On March 22, the first set of 1,200 kids will be taken out of their homes.
The declaration follows shelling that left the border district of Grayvoronsky without power and caused three injuries. Russian soldiers who support Kyiv have frequently demanded that locals leave Belgorod and Kursk to prevent military actions.

Russia has been accused by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) of politicizing sport by announcing its Friendship Games, which will take place in September of next year and compete with the Olympic Games.
The IOC urged the world of sports and the governments that Moscow had invited to decline any involvement in and support for the new competition. As long as they compete under a neutral flag and oppose Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian athletes are allowed to compete in this year’s Olympics in Paris.
Despite severe ammunition shortages, US Defense Chief Lloyd Austin has reassured Ukraine that a $60 billion aid plan from the US government is still stuck in Congress. He declared that the US is still committed to providing Ukraine the tools it needs to stave against aggression from the Kremlin.
Austin claimed that the $300 million in help that Washington provided for Ukraine last week was only made feasible by savings from recent purchases. The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, stated that Congress’s prompt completion of all required steps and decisions regarding aid for Kyiv is vitally crucial to them.
After the deadliest combat of the conflict, Russia claims to have taken control of the village of Orlivka in Donetsk, on the eastern front of Ukraine.
According to Czech President Petr Pavel, European businesses will soon be able to create enough ammunition for both themselves and Ukraine. In recent months, European nations have increased their attempts to arm Ukraine while a US bill intended to give Kyiv $60 billion in aid has been bogged down in Congress.
