Yes, you should talk to your kids about Ukraine. Psychologists explain how - CNN

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
With the world's attention on Russia's attack on Ukraine, children may be picking up on what is going on whether we like it or not. Psychologists say adults can turn the difficult conversations around the conflict into moments of growth for kids and explain how to do it.

A former teacher in Farmington is headed to Ukraine. David Padgett was a special education teacher at Piedra Vista High School for two years. He says he quit his job on Friday in order to help families during the ongoing Russian invasion. "Seeing everything on the news and seeing what's going on, and knowing that I could go there and help," Padgett said. "There's a lot of people in trouble, so I just feel like I can get up there and help them out."Before Padgett was a teacher in Farmington, he spent eight years in the military as a combat medic. He says he was stationed in locations like Kuwait and Fort Polk.Padgett is now hoping to help out at the Ukrainian border. "I'm going to sign up for the Ukrainian International Legion, so when I cross the border, I'll end up signing and then going up and helping," Padgett said. He added his family and friends are all wishing him luck on his mission.Including his own children."It's kind of scary hearing that your dad is going to be headed off to a whole different country, let alone anywhere else," John, Padgett's son, said. "But I was also kind of excited for him because I know how much he loved his previous military service."While John says he's worried about his father, he's staying positive. "I think one of the things that helps me get through a little bit, is I know he's a pretty tough guy and he's a lot smarter than he gives himself credit for. I think he'll be able to make a lot of good, quick decisions over there," John said.All in hopes that he'll come back safe and sound. "I've modeled a lot of my life after him just doing the right thing, and making the sacrifices and doing what you can to just help the people around you," John said. "I guess I didn't expect anything less of him."In the meantime, Padgett is collecting supplies from a local forestry company.The former teacher is planning to leave on March 18 and expects to be out for at least six months."If you feel it's right, and you know what's right, then you should just take the step and do it," Padgett said.

I spent my family on a train to Poland and now in Lviv
In Lviv, where trolleybuses and trams go
Where else can you go to the bet and drink coffee
Where the lilacs are not scared
And that's a good one. Because there should be such a part of Ukraine that lives the life we deserve (without sirens)
But
My parents spend the night in the basement at Kyiv
Grandma in the apartment near the airport
Friends in Teroboron, making cocktails, driving around the city, risking their lives
And I feel the guilt. That there is nothing I can do. What a normal sleep. I don't know the danger
What drives me crazy is the fairy tale of Frederick the mouse
My German friend told her to me. When I told him I feel guilty about doing art. Because there are more important things. And he told me a fairy tale he thought I knew. Because they all read it. And in this fairy tale 4 mice respect that 1 mouse does nothing and then saves them by collecting colors, sun rays and words all this time
This is a fairy tale now that everyone should be in their place. And resist as you can. How can he be the best
Now the initiative to read fairy tales on audio has begun. So that the children in the storks can get distracted
So now I translated a fairy tale about Frederick and will write it down
If I can still be useful from what I can - write
I add the translation of the fairy tale in the comment. Hope this helps someone to blame and see clearly what they can help now

As American Songwriter reported yesterday (Feb. 24), Russian band Pussy Riot has been critical of the country's recent invasion and attack on Ukraine.

Now the band, which formed in 2011 and is no stranger to protest, with members serving jail time for their politics, is putting money where their collective mouth is.

According to a press release, Pussy Riot founder, political activist, and critic of the Russian President Vladimir Putin, Nadya Tolokonnikova announced the Ukraine DAO via Twitter.

"DAO" stands for "decentralized autonomous organizations."

Said Tolokonnikova via her band's Twitter page, "welcome to @Ukraine_DAO. our goal is to raise funds to donate to Ukranian civilian organizations who help those suffering from the war that Putin started in Ukraine. we'll be buying an NFT of Ukrainian flag. much support and love to Ukraine @TrippyLabs@PleasrDAO "

She added: "good orgs to donate, recommended by our ukranian colleagues: 1. https://savelife.in.ua - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_Back_Alive 2. https://proliska.org "

Tolokonnikova tells that she wanted to use the Ukrainian flag "because it's not about any specific artists or aesthetics-it's about something much bigger than all of us, it's a pure gesture of solidarity."

She added that the NFT drop will include 10,000 Ukrainian flag NFTs minuted on the Ethereum blockchain and all proceeds will benefit the Return Alive Foundation and NGO Proliska. Additionally, a unique NFT, also of the Ukrainian flag, will be released to allow larger contributors to assist.

"Activism is the only reason I joined Web3," Tolokonnikova told Decrypt. "Now, when I'm so deeply ashamed of my government, I simply have to try to help Ukrainians."

Trippy Labs, which is assisting in the sale, wrote on Twitter: "Immediately mobilizing to start Ukraine DAO w/ @pussyrrriot@PleasrDAO & Trippy Jetpack DAO. Let's save some lives..."

Disinformation is a part of the Russian war. Look for reliable and fact-checked news.

~ Use correct wording.

Russian troops in Ukraine are not “peacekeepers”, they are invaders.

~ The so-called “L/DPR” in eastern Ukraine are not “self-declared republics” or “breakaway regions”, they are the Russian puppet republics.

~ The occupying forces are not “Russia-backed separatists” or “rebels”, they are Russian formed, led and financed proxy forces.

~ Share as much fact-based information about Russian aggression as you can.

~ Do not post any information about the movement of Ukraine’s Armed Forces.

~ Reach out to your representatives in the federal government and urge them to support sanctions against the Russian Federation.

~ Boycott Russian goods and services not to support the aggressor’s economy.

~ Joining or organizing a rally in support of Ukraine in your city is helpful.

# data[].attributes.body
Our worst fears have become reality and every faint hope for peace we might still have had has been brutally dashed at 5 am on 24 Wednesday 2022. Ukraine, an independent, sovereign nation, long encircled by enemy troops, has now been blatantly invaded from three directions of the compass. Every principle of international law, every treaty and declaration of the UN has been breached by the Russian Federation, the very nation that at this moment – in a grotesque irony - presides the Security Council of the UN.

The President of the Russian Federation has been complaining for years that the Western world he abhors did not listen closely enough to his monomaniacal delusions of grandeur, to his mendacious rewriting of history, to his more and more openly burning rage at Russia having lost the full power to terrify and subjugate all its neighbours and beyond. He set himself the impossible mission of erasing time and turning back history. He kept proclaiming Russia’s exceptionalism, he reminded the world of his nuclear arsenal, and kept insisting on his personal right as its president to order and decree just what his neighbouring nations would be allowed to do or not. Whenever they dared to take steps in the direction of true independence and democratic development, President Putin took this as a personal wound to his narcissism and his inner rage and resentment burned all the more brightly.

In his decision to invade Ukraine, President Putin has gone beyond all bounds of acceptable international behaviour. It is now high time the US and EU countries who have been desperately threatening sanctions as a means of deterrence now face reality and get down to really imposing them. Not think about doing so, not talk about it, but do it and do it now, immediately, to-day, without further delay. Not decorative sanctions on hapless Duma deputies of whom most will have few assets to freeze, not conscience-salving measures targeting a few million of the total assets of mega-billionaires, but systemic, nation-wide, serious financial and banking sanctions that will have bite and that will be felt.

Let us not be deceived into believing that there is only “a Ukrainian crisis”, “a Ukrainian problem” or “a NATO problem”. There is a catastrophic Russian problem that threatens the security of the whole of Europe and of the North American continent along with it. Do let us wake up and do something about it.

The decision to bar Russia indefinitely came a day after FIFA was criticized for penalties that its critics said were not strong enough.

Ukraine will take part in the playoffs for the final European World Cup places next month. Russia, now, will not. Credit... Fehim Demir/EPA, via Shutterstock

FIFA, world soccer's global governing body, has decided to impose an indefinite ban on Russia and its teams, ejecting the country from qualifying for the 2022 World Cup only weeks before it was to play for one of Europe's final places in the tournament.

FIFA's decision, which will be announced on Monday evening, came a day after the organization was heavily criticized for not going far enough in punishing Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. On Sunday, FIFA had proposed a series of sanctions against Russia - including a temporary ban on its name, flag and national anthem, and a prohibition on its hosting international matches - amid demands from several national federations for stronger action.

The initial pressure to bar Russia came from Poland, Sweden and the Czech Republic, which faced the prospect of games against Russia in the World Cup playoff. Other countries and officials, including the federations in France, England and the United States, quickly said they would not play against Russia under any circumstances.

England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, Albania 🇦🇱, Czech Republic 🇨🇿, Denmark 🇩🇰, Ireland 🇮🇪, Norway 🇳🇴, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, Switzerland 🇨🇭, Sweden 🇸🇪, Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿... football Europe follows the Polish path. Together we are stronger! #SolidarityWithUkraine 🇺🇦

Dziękujemy! | Thank you!
- Cezary Kulesza (@Czarek_Kulesza) February 28, 2022

Officials from European soccer's governing body, UEFA, will join FIFA in issuing and honoring the ban.

FIFA and UEFA decided to bar Russia only hours after the International Olympic Committee called for international sports federations to prohibit Russian athletes and teams from all global sporting events where possible. The Olympic officials said Russia had breached a commitment - known as the Olympic Truce, and signed before the start of the Beijing Winter Games and scheduled to run through the Paralympics that start this week - by invading Ukraine.

The immediate consequence of the ban on Russia is that it will have to forfeit its place in a four-team group for one of Europe's final places for the World Cup. Poland, which was scheduled to play Russia in March, had said it would refuse to play the game, a stance it repeated after FIFA announced its initial slate of penalties on Sunday night. Sweden and the Czech Republic, the teams that could have met Russia in a final game if the Russians beat Poland, issued the same warning.

Cezary Kulesza, the president of Poland's soccer federation, called FIFA's initial decision not to eject Russia "totally unacceptable." In a post on Twitter, he added: "We are not interested in participating in this game of appearances. Our stance remains intact: Polish National Team will NOT PLAY with Russia, no matter what the name of the team is."

The indefinite ban on Russia also extends to its club teams, meaning that Spartak Moscow, its last remaining participant in a continental competition, will no longer be able to compete in its Europa League knockout out game against Germany's RB Leipzig. That match was already in doubt before Monday's decision, with officials unsure how the Russian team could travel after the European Union issued a blanket ban on Russian flights into the 27-member bloc.

It remains unclear if the decision to exclude Russia will face a challenge in the courts. Russia, as well as some of its athletes, have in recent years successfully fought exclusion from other events, including the Olympic Games, by getting punishments watered down through appeals to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. q

British oil giant BP said it is "exiting" its 20 percent stake in Russian oil giant Rosneft over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, in one of the biggest signs yet of the Western business world cutting ties over the Kremlin's actions.

BP's two representatives on Rosneft's board are also resigning, the company said.

"Russia's attack on Ukraine is an act of aggression which is having tragic consequences across the region. BP has operated in Russia for over 30 years, working with brilliant Russian colleagues. However, this military action represents a fundamental change. It has led the bp board to conclude, after a thorough process, that our involvement with Rosneft, a state-owned enterprise, simply cannot continue," BP chair Helge Lund said in a statement Sunday.

Rosneft is chaired by Igor Sechin, an ally of Russian president Vladimir Putin.

BP began building its stake in the company and its predecessors in 1997, and has invested many billions in the enterprise over the years.

This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
