Ukraine’s air force says Sunday’s attack from Russia involved 147 drones, 97 of which were shot down and another 25 failed to reach their targets.

The attack killed three people in the nation’s capital of Kyiv, including a 5-year-old child. At least 10 others were wounded.

Ukrainians at the scene of the attacks in Kyiv surveyed the damage done to their homes and neighborhoods on Sunday morning. Many were disparaging of the upcoming ceasefire talks, pointing to the burned out homes destroyed in the drone attack, saying these were more indicative of Russia’s true intentions.

In an old multistory building on Kyiv’s left bank that was damaged in the overnight attack, Dmytro Zapadnya, 37, said he had no faith in Russia upholding any ceasefire agreement.

«There is no point in signing anything (with Russians), because it will not be worth the cost of paper where you put this signature. Well, the only thing that is not very pleasant is that now the United States seems to have little understanding of our situation,» he said.

Anti-Hamas protests break out in Gaza Strip over demands to end war

Published

on


Anti-Hamas protests broke out in the northern Gaza Strip on Tuesday as hundreds of Palestinian men took to the streets to call for an end to the war with Israel.

Videos of the protest began circulating on social media on Tuesday and come as Israeli air strikes and offensive operations against Hamas have continued since the first phase of an internationally-brokered ceasefire ended earlier this month, before a second phase could be secured.

One such video shared with Fox News Digital by the Center for Peace Communications showed protesters chanting, «Hamas get out!»

The man filming the protest provided his own commentary, which reportedly said, «Gaza’s people don’t want wars. They demand the end of Hamas’ rule. They demand peace.»

«Gazans turned out in anti-Hamas street demonstrations, braving gunfire and prison, in 2019 and again on July 30, 2023. This is the most substantial mass protest since then,» Joseph Braude, president of the Center for Peace Communications, told Fox News Digital. «It highlights Gazan aspirations to end the war by ending Hamas’ reign of terror, alongside the release of all hostages. 

«Gazans are expressing anger at Al-Jazeera and global media generally for covering only Hamas, ignoring the voices of Gazan civilians,» he added. «The more attention these brave souls get, the more they can help bring change for the better to Gaza and the broader region.»

MOTHER OF INJURED HAMAS HOSTAGE DIRECTS PLEA TO ‘EVERY MOTHER IN THIS WORLD’ TO HELP SECURE SON’S RELEASE

Palestinian civilians have taken the brunt of Hamas’ brutal and deadly Oct. 7, 2023, attack, which resulted in the death of some 1,200 Israelis and the abduction of 251 others. Fifty-eight of those hostages remain in Hamas captivity, but only 25 are believed to still be alive 535 days later, including American hostage Edan Alexander. 

The Hamas-run Gaza’s Health Ministry reported on Sunday that some 50,000 Palestinians have been killed, including 600 over the last four days after Israel officially ended the tenuous ceasefire by launching air strikes after negotiations on hostage releases stalled.

Bielorrusia: aliado de Putin, el autócrata Lukashenko asumió su séptimo mandato y dijo que sus críticos “no tienen futuro”

Published

on



El presidente autoritario de Bielorrusia, Alexander Lukashenko, asumió su séptimo mandato y se burló de quienes lo califican como “el último dictador de Europa” al afirmar que su país tiene más democracia “que aquellos que se presentan como sus modelos”.

“Medio mundo sueña con nuestra ‘dictadura’, la dictadura de los verdaderos negocios y los intereses de nuestro pueblo”, afirmó Lukashenko, de 70 años, en su discurso de investidura en el Palacio de la Independencia en Minsk, la capital.

Cientos de simpatizantes de la oposición que viven en el extranjero realizaron el martes manifestaciones contra Lukashenko para conmemorar el aniversario de la efímera independencia de Bielorrusia en 1918, tras el colapso del imperio ruso.

Lukashenko cumplió tres décadas en el poder el año pasado, y sus oponentes políticos han denunciado la elección del 26 de enero, cuidadosamente orquestada, calificándola como una farsa. La Comisión Central Electoral de Bielorrusia declaró que el mandatario ganó con casi el 87% de los votos después de una campaña en la que los cuatro contendientes simbólicos en la boleta elogiaron su gobierno.

Varios miembros de la oposición han sido encarcelados o exiliados al extranjero por la implacable represión de Lukashenko contra la disidencia y la libertad de expresión.

Meses de protestas masivas, sin precedentes en la historia del país de nueve millones de personas, siguieron a las elecciones de 2020 y provocaron una dura represión. Más de 65.000 personas fueron arrestadas, miles fueron golpeadas por la policía, y los medios de comunicación independientes y las organizaciones no gubernamentales fueron cerradas y prohibidas, lo que provocó condenas y sanciones de Occidente.

Miles de simpatizantes de Lukashenko asistieron el martes a la ceremonia de investidura, donde el mandatario denunció a sus críticos, calificándolos como títeres extranjeros que estaban en contra del pueblo.

“No tienen ni tendrán apoyo público, no tienen futuro”, declaró. “Tenemos más democracia que aquellos que se presentan como sus modelos”.

Los activistas bielorrusos dicen que en el país hay más de 1.200 presos políticos, entre los que está el laureado con el Premio Nobel de la Paz Ales Bialiatski, fundador del Centro de Derechos Humanos Viasna.

“Las elecciones se llevaron a cabo en medio de una profunda crisis de derechos humanos, en un ambiente de miedo total causado por las represiones contra la sociedad civil, los medios independientes, la oposición y la disidencia”, según un comunicado emitido el martes por Viasna y otros diez grupos de derechos humanos bielorrusos. Señalaron que el control de Lukashenko sobre el poder es ilegítimo.

Lukashenko ha gobernado el país con mano de hierro desde 1994, apoyándose en subsidios y apoyo político del presidente ruso Vladímir Putin, que a su vez lleva un cuarto de siglo en el cargo, una alianza que ayudó al líder bielorruso a sobrevivir a las protestas de 2020.

Lukashenko permitió que Moscú usara el territorio del país para invadir Ucrania en febrero de 2022 y más tarde albergó algunas de las armas nucleares tácticas de Rusia.

La líder opositora en el exilio, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, quien huyó de Bielorrusia bajo la presión del gobierno tras postularse contra Lukashenko en 2020, prometió seguir luchando por la libertad del país.

“Nuestro objetivo es romper con la ocupación rusa y la tiranía de Lukashenko, y hacer que Bielorrusia vuelva a la familia europea de naciones”, dijo Tsikhanouskaya en un discurso en el Parlamento lituano.

Algunos observadores dicen que Lukashenko podría ahora reparar sus lazos con Occidente.

“Lukashenko ya ha enviado señales a Occidente sobre su disposición a iniciar un diálogo y su deseo de normalizar las relaciones para aliviar la dependencia total del Kremlin y suavizar las sanciones occidentales durante su séptimo mandato”, dijo Valery Karbalevich, un analista político independiente.
