On Thursday, Ukraine held a preliminary hearing in the first trial to charge a Russian soldier accused of repeatedly raping a Ukrainian woman.

Mikhail Romanov, 32, is accused of raping a 33-year-old woman in the village of Bohdanivka, which is north of Kyiv. Romanov is not in Ukrainian custody and will be tried in absentia. Prosecutor Oksana Kalyus affirmed that Romanov will be arrested if found by Ukrainian authorities."If he crosses the border, he will be arrested and delivered to Ukraine," she said.

Romanov allegedly raped the woman, who asked authorities not to name her for privacy, three times during Russia's failed attempt to seize Kyiv. In the village of Bohdanivka, the Russian military gained a temporary foothold in the early part of the war. During that time, Romanov and a fellow soldier shot this woman's husband, killing him. Romanov then raped her before leaving, but it is alleged he returned twice to rape her.

Haley says ‘Western weakness’ pushed Russia to invade Ukraine, warns of looming Chinese threatFormer U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley on Wednesday will say that “Western weakness” pushed Russia to invade Ukraine, warning of a looming threat from China. Biden is like the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz. He hasn’t got a brain. Fast forward to 2:42 Partly. But mainly Biden energy policies, constraining supply & driving energy prices up, filling Russia’s coffers so it could afford this war. Rus is strong when oil prices are high, dangerous when above $100. Trump policies kept energy prices low, RUS weak. It was the division that Putin was sowing what helped him! The US felt right in his trap! Democrats en republicans are fighting each other every single day, no unity whatsoever! That Trump isnt in office anymore doesnt matter, because Putin has everything he want from the US!!
