[GP] A disgraced Navy nuclear engineer and his wife are facing a combined 20 years in prison for trying to sell secrets about American nuclear-powered warships approached Brazil before they were caught.
Not France? Good to know.
Jonathan Toebbe and his Trump-hating teacher wife, Diana, were arrested for espionage charges in October. They had a BLM sign in their front yard.
The Gateway Pundit reported last October on the couple that was arrested for selling US secrets to a foreign power.

From the Daily Mail article linked by Gateway Pundit:
According to officials familiar with the investigation, the Toebbes selected Brazil because they believed the nation was eager to acquire nuclear technology and wealthy enough to afford to buy their secrets, but not hostile towards the U.S.
The couple reportedly believed soliciting secrets to American adversaries - such as Russia or China - was immoral, text messages presented in court revealed.

'Teacher', that figures right down to the ground. Of all the members of the wanna be commisariat I have ever encountered, the women are always the worst and gleefully so.

We need some old style punishment for traitors to prevent others from getting any stupid ideas. I'm thinking we should look to the medieval period for possible solutions/examples.
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] On Friday, March 11th, 2022, at approximately 6:11 PM, members of the Yonkers Police Department responded to an apartment building in the confines of the 3rd Precinct on several reports of a dispute; information was given that a woman was bleeding at scene and the suspect was in front of the location.
Upon arrival officers located the victim, an elderly female, in the vestibule of the building with severe facial injuries; she was transported to a local area trauma center. The suspect was located outside the building and placed into custody without incident.
Investigation yielded that the victim, a 67-year-old resident of the City of Yonkers, was returning home and saw the suspect in front of the building. As she walked past him, he called her an "Asian bitch;" the victim is of Asian descent.
Ignoring his comment, the victim entered the vestibule of the building and was attempting to open the second door to enter the lobby when, without warning, the suspect approached from behind and punched her in the head, knocking her to the floor; he then stood over her and proceeded to punch her in the head and face more than 125 times with alternating fist strikes before foot-stomping her seven times and spitting on her.
As a result of the beating, the victim suffered multiple contusions and lacerations to her head and face, facial bone fractures, and bleeding on the brain; she is currently listed in stable, pH balanced condition and is recovering in the hospital. The incident was captured on surveillance video.
Mayor Mike Spano stated, "Hate crimes are beyond intolerable in our city. I applaud our Yonkers Police for swiftly apprehending this violent mostly peaceful criminal and removing him from our streets. I expect the suspect to be charged to the fullest extent of the law for his heinous actions. I continue to keep the victim and her family in our thoughts and prayers."
Commissioner John J. Mueller stated, "This is one of the most appalling attacks I have ever seen; to beat a helpless woman is despicable and targeting her because of her race makes it more so. This defendant must be held to the maximum punishment allowed by law to send a clear message that hateful, violent mostly peaceful behavior will not be tolerated in our communities. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victim and her family, that she may make a full recovery."
ESCO was arraigned in Yonkers Criminal Court on March 12th and remanded into the custody of the Westchester County Jail; his next court date is scheduled for March 25th. The case is being prosecuted by the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office. Additional information may be released as it becomes available.
[TheSun] Esco has a criminal record and has had 14 arrests and multiple convictions, Yonkers Police Commissioner John Mueller said.
In February 2021, he pushed a woman through a plate glass window. She wasn't seriously injured and Esco was given a conditional discharge and no jail time.
CBS2 claims Esco was enrolled into a five-month inpatient program for substance abuse after his 2021 arrest.
He has also served 42 months in prison for a stabbing in 2010, the outlet reports.
The 42-year-old was seen assaulting his 67-year-old neighbor in which he hit her 125 times.

I'm woke and I want you to know
That though progress can sometimes be slow,
You'll read this same story
In future, less gory,
Its headline concluding, "at Go!"

It seems given the racist attacks we have had and are seeing in the news, by members of the Black Community.
Plus the near total silence by the usual Black Leadership regarding the attacking of Senior Aged WHITES and now Senior Aged ASIANS by Blacks community members.
That is NOT the WHITE, ASIAN nor the LATINO community that is the major racist element in America now, but the Black Community.
Had the victim been a Black Sr. Woman....
We be seeing The Rev.'s, BLM, AF, The LSD's all
Demanding Justice for "_________". With symbolic support such as looting, riots and police being attacked... and a Go fund BLM pockets page.
[MSN] Russia has deployed a mystery munition in Ukraine that's stumped ballistic experts.
The munitions are decoys meant to trick air-defense radars and heat-seeking missiles, the New York Times reported, and are released from Iskander-M short-range ballistic missiles. They are each about a foot long and shaped like a dart with an orange tail, American intelligence officials say.
The devices produce radio signals to confuse enemy radars attempting to locate the missiles, and they also contain a heat source to attract other missiles.
#1
...The importance of us getting our hands on these things CAN NOT be understated.
This would be the equivalent of turning the Soviets loose with one of the old PERSHING II missiles, letting them take all the penetration aids out, then taking them back to the Rodina for study. They may well have handed us the keys to their SRBM/IRBM kingdom.

"How did the corrupt and inept US defense establishment let Russia leapfrog the US with HGV's, S-550, etc? That's the origin of the Ukraine crisis. This should be a Sputnik moment. Instead it's an orgy of virtue signaling. Imperial senility."
#7
Russia is getting its helicopters and planes shot down regularly so this orange tail dart hasn't helped that much for that aspect.
As for the missiles, I didn't think Ukraine could effectively down ballistic missiles even without the orange tail dart.
what am I missing

Cede to the experts, perhaps clearing or testing a flight path? Try to get Ukraine to leave their radars on a bit too much? An automated Wild Weasel of sorts?
[UK's Independent] Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has addressed the US Congress virtually after being invited by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. He received a standing ovation when he appeared on the screen before lawmakers.
During his remarks he called on the US to remember Pearl Harbour and the September 11 terrorist attacks as it sees the people of Ukraine attacked and killed by Russian forces.
The Ukrainian president told lawmakers in his wartime address to Congress on Wednesday that Ukraine “experiences the same every day” now as America did during its own darkest days.
Mr Zelensky also asked Congress for Soviet-made air defence systems and fighter jets as an alternative to a Nato-enforced humanitarian no-fly zone over his country’s airspace.
US and Nato officials have so far declined his pleas for a no-fly zone over Ukraine because such a measure would place Nato warplanes at risk of direct engagement with Russian aircraft, raising the possibility of a nuclear confrontation.
LAter today President Joe Biden is expected to announce $800m (£612m) of aid to the eastern European country, a sum that would bring the total aid sent to Ukraine in the last week alone to $1bn.
Mr Biden is also reportedly considering providing Ukraine with US-made drones, including the recently developed so-called “loitering missile” system known as Switchblade. Drones have played a major part in Ukraine’s defence against the Russian assault, in particular TB2 drones supplied by Turkey.

Haven't watched the video yet. I might not watch it at all. Zelensky's plea for a no-fly zone has cost him all the sympathy I might have had for him. I can't help all the things that the likes of John McCain told Ukrainians but the idea that America will enter WWIII for the sake of his ass is so ludicrous that I really don't care what he says anymore. I think he should make a deal with Putin to avoid any further loss of life and destruction.

'Stand-off' capabilities mean Russia doesn't have to fly over Ukrainian airspace to create havoc. AAA systems that reach above 14,000 AGL are needed, but are not the ultimate solution.

I hate to point it out,
but most of the people in charge thought we deserved 9/11 and were against punitive missions, and totally against a protracted affair. They are also self-described "Anti-Racists" who teach that the military response to Pearl Harbor was based on racism.

The willingness to tempt nuclear winter for Ukraine is past insane, are there so few adults left in DC or the media that they cannot reason past their emotional reaction to the harsh realities of life when the strong prey on the weak. Emotional manipulation must not overcome stalwart reasoning about what is and is not America's genuine national security interest. The Demokrats who orchestrated this well done appeal from a brave man who wants us to save his country were using every tool in the political playbook to make the issue dominate the media coverage and overwhelm the looming catastrophe that is the MidTerm election. The ruination of their control of the federal government is assured if our short attention span citizens can see the consequences of what one year of Marxism has done. That desperation has them transforming a epic tragedy in Urkraine into a purported crisis demanding our total attention while it suppresses awareness of the disaster that is the Bidet Administration off the media for the next few months. 10+% percent inflation, food shortages, rising unemployment, urban crime, gas prices, the inundation of our nation by millions and millions of illegals, the billions and billions of wasted funds on Covid and stimulus, 31 trillion in national debt, tripling in the past twelve years, the looming collapse of the dollar as world reserve currency, the Durham investigation, massive proof of voter irregularities, CRT, incessant race-baiting, educational catastrophes for our kids, all this is hidden beneath the combat footage, refugee stories and massive destruction in a place that not one American in ten can find on a map. The adults left in citizenry must not let this community-organizer manipulation succeed!

Good rant, NoMoreBS. The only dog we have in this fight belongs to Joe Biden. It's a shame if the dog gets hurt but Joe should have taken better care of it.

The willingness to tempt nuclear winter for Ukraine is past insane
Say what you will about nuclear winter, but it does resolve the uncertainly about climate change AND puts an end to global warming. I'd call that a win-win!
[CBS] Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky delivered a powerful, personal appeal to Canada today to do more to help his embattled country withstand the invasion by Russia.
He spoke via video link on Tuesday to Parliament, where he received sustained standing ovations from members of Parliament and senators.
Zelensky spoke about the suffering experienced by the Ukrainian people and said that 97 children have been killed in the 20 days since the beginning of the war.
In his speech, which was laced with references to Canadian cities and landmarks, Zelensky asked rhetorically how Canadians would feel if Russia laid siege to Vancouver or targeted the CN Tower in Toronto. He listed off some of the historic sites in Ukraine that have come under bombardment.
"Imagine that Canadian facilities have been bombed similarly as our buildings and memorial places are being bombed," Zelensky said. "A number of families have died. Every night is a horrible night."
[Pehal News] Ukrainian snipers had an issue: Russian forces in jap Ukraine had been attempting to blind them.
As the Ukrainians had been wanting by means of their scopes in order to search out their targets, the Russians had begun pinpointing their location utilizing the glare of the glass, and had been taking pictures high-energy lasers into them, damaging the snipers’ eyesight.
The two sides had been squaring off in shut proximity. In early 2014, Russia had already invaded and annexed Ukraine’s Crimea peninsula. Shortly thereafter, pro-Russia insurgents in the jap Donbas area started a grinding secessionist warfare towards Kyiv.
Russian troops quickly entered the fray. So, quietly, did the CIA.
As the battle strains hardened in Donbas, a small, choose group of veteran CIA paramilitaries made their first secret journeys to the frontlines to fulfill with Ukrainian counterparts there, based on former U.S. officers.
CIA paramilitaries quickly concluded that, in Russia and its proxies, the company was dealing with an adversary whose capabilities far outmatched the Islamist teams that CIA had been battling in the post-9/11 wars. "We learned a lot real quick," says a former senior intelligence official — together with in regards to the Russians’ laser-blinding methods. "That s*** wouldn’t happen with the Taliban."
Since Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine final month — which remodeled a long-simmering, attritional battle into an explosive, all-out warfare — the Ukrainian navy has defied predictions of a fast collapse, holding key cities towards the Russian advance and inflicting punishing losses to Russian troops and materiel.
[NYP] Russia announced sanctions Tuesday against Americans including President Joe Biden, his scandal-scarred son Hunter Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
In a statement, Russia’s Foreign Ministry said the restrictions — which came amid waves of sanctions by the US and its allies that have crippled Russia’s economy over the invasion of Ukraine — were "the consequence" of what it called the White House’s "extremely Russophobic policy."
The move prevents those named from entering Russia and freeze any assets they have there, according to the BBC. Moscow called the restrictions "personal sanctions" and a "stop list" based on "the principle of reciprocity."
The foreign ministry also warned that additional sanctions would follow against other, unspecified "Russophobic" US officials, military officers, lawmakers, business owners and media figures.
The measures — which target 13 Americans, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — won’t prevent them from engaging in high-level communications with Russia, the news agency said.
[Gatestone] Have Western environmental non-governmental organizations (NGOs), movements and parties been possible, even unwitting, collaborators with the Russian government for the last ten years?
This question arises from a recent report by the Foundation for Political Innovation (Fondapol) in Paris. Fondapol's director, Dominique Reynié, said in a recent interview:
"We have found Gazprom funding in particular environmental NGOs, which furnished certain European countries with ministers -- Belgium for example -- who then evidently embarked on a sort of return of favor by defending an exit from nuclear power."
These allegations are not new.
The Guardian, already in 2014, quoted NATO's then Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, making the following accusation:
"I have met allies who can report that Russia, as part of their sophisticated information and disinformation operations, engaged actively with so-called non-governmental organisations - environmental organisations working against shale gas - to maintain European dependence on imported Russian gas."
Below Europe's soil lie large reserves of shale gas, also known as bedrock gas. The exploitation of these natural gas reserves would have substantially reduced Europe's purchases of, and dependence on, Russia's gas -- in particular on its gas giant, Gazprom. The same is true of nuclear power, which offers Westerners an abundant, non-CO2-emitting energy source as an alternative to Russian gas.
Hence the interest, for the Russian government, in mounting a vast disinformation campaign against shale gas and nuclear power in the West, by massively financing the groups most likely "naturally" to oppose it: environmentalist organizations.
On June 29, 2017, two of America's leading federal lawmakers on energy issues, US Representatives Randy Weber and Lamar Smith , sent a letter to then-Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin, demanding an investigation into the funding of US environmental organizations by the government of the Russian Federation. According to The Hill:
#2
It is prudent to disregard any 'news' with sentences that begin with Have and end with a ❓ mark.
European NGOs themselves are responsible for pushing the global warming agenda and formulating 'laws' and standards by which they may limit or police industrial growth. Rent seeking at an international level.
#3
And if Russia has been doing this, that means their war stategy and fighting prowess may be shit but boy they play a good gaslighting game. Somehow, they can make the west shoot itself in both feet repeatedly successfully but cannot win a small war with Ukraine.
#9
I cannot stand this kind of rhetorical "journalism". It's gutless, criminal laziness. It's an open secret who has been funding the greenies for decades. Get out there and spread some f'n sunlight - it's your f'n job.

Interesting pictures at that page further down. Normandy-style tank obstacles all over the place, minelaying at the beaches. They have supposedly large amphib ships there. I'd still expect most to arrive initially over the air via helicopters.
A WW2 style over-the-beach invasion may end up looking like a WW2 style beach invasion in the Pacific. Peleliu, Guam, Iwo Jima come to mind. Yes they were eventually successful, but they also required weeks of preparatory bombing and lots of naval gunfire. And there were still massive casualties. Now factor in the increased quality and prevalence of anti-armor and MANPADs available in the defense, and the poor quality so far of Russian equipment and poorly trained personnel, and it could be a bloodbath. If the Russians want to force a landing, they will do so. But the cost could be the operational destruction of the Black Sea fleet's Russian Naval Infantry to a stub.
If they were to play it smart, they'd simply grind down the coast from the east and Kherson, and have their Rus separatists in Moldova launch small attacks from the west side. Supplied overland by the Crimea garrisons.
This whole thing does not look well thought out at all.
#3
Whether the Rus actually do it or not, the threat of an amphib assault forces Ukraine to mount a defense. This ties up men and materiel that could be used elsewhere.
In the meantime, the Russians will simply grind down the coast from the east and Kherson, and have their Rus separatists in Moldova launch small attacks from the west side. Supplied overland by the Crimea garrisons.
Likely accompanied by a feint landing and some naval missile strikes to support the ground troops. Sounds like a plan to me.
[War Zone] satellite image The War Zone has obtained from Planet Labs confirms that Ukrainian forces have damaged and destroyed a number of Russian helicopters, and caused other damage, in an attack on Kherson Airbase in the southern part of the country today. This is the second major Ukrainian attack in as many weeks on this base. Russian forces first claimed to have taken control of Kherson, which occupies a strategic location on the northern shore of the Dnieper River, some two weeks ago.
The image, portions of which are seen below, was taken at 11:35 AM UTC, or 1:35 PM local time on March 15th, 2022. Multiple large fire sources, including a number of burning helicopters, can be clearly seen on one of the base's main ramps. Thick black smoke emanating from various points could well be obscuring additional damage beyond what is readily visible. There do appear to be other fires burning under the smoke plume, indicating core infrastructure at the base was also damaged or destroyed. A number of other small fires burn around the base — which is just covered with vehicles following Russia's seizure of it — as well.

I'm surprised the Ukrainians haven't launched drone or small team attacks in Russian territory... or is that not allowed?
#Ukraine: It appears that this attack was more severe than we realised at the time; actually the damage appears to be no less than 3 BTR-82A, a likely BTR-80 variant, 3 K-63968 Typhoon-K MRAPs, 3x Tiger-M, and 2x Iveco Rys vehicles. https://t.co/QzkWN3Walhpic.twitter.com/BgaMAbtmS5

Russia's foreign ministry said Tuesday that U.S. President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. An incredibly corrupt version of Jar-Jar Binks, only well into his dotage. The dumbass who abandoned Afghanistan.... and a dozen other brass hats had been banned from entering the country in a reciprocal response to U.S. sanctions.
The measure, which also applies to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, "is the consequence of the extremely Russophobic policy pursued by the current U.S. administration," the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement.
In response to Russia's military intervention in Ukraine, the United States banned Russian President Vladimir Putin ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances... and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov as well as adopting sanctions that have largely cut Russia off financially from the rest of the world.
Russia also put on its stop list Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, Central Intelligence Agency Director William Burns and White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki ...a valley girl who woke up one morning and found she was spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State under Obama. A new American success story, under Biden she became spokeswoman for the whole administration, and she was even able to get her sister a job... Also on the list are Deputy National Security Advisor Daleep Singh, U.S. Agency for International Development chief Samantha Power, Deputy Treasury Secretary Adewale Adeyemo, and US Export-Import Bank chief Reta Jo Lewis.
Russia also banned from entry Biden's son Hunter and former secretary of state and Democratic presidential candidate Crooked Hillary Clinton ...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do... The foreign ministry warned Moscow will soon announce additional sanctions against a range of "Russophobic" U.S. officials, military officers, politicians, businessmen and media personalities.

[Fox] Expert James Carafano: 'Russians actually fund some of the most rabid environmental groups in Europe'
For years, world leaders have accused Russia of funding environmental groups in Europe to steer nations away from energy independence and strengthen Russia’s iron grip over the continent. As nations across the globe begin shunning Russian oil in response to the country’s invasion of Ukraine, U.S. leaders are also questioning how deep Russia’s ties go in the environmental community.
"The Russians actually fund some of the most rabid environmental groups in Europe because they sic them on the energy projects that aren’t Russian," James Carafano, vice president of the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at the Heritage Foundation, told Fox News Digital in a recent phone interview.
Back in June 2014, just months after Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine, European leaders sounded off that Russia was using disinformation operations with environmental groups to steer countries away from fracking in favor of Russian oil.
"I have met allies who can report that Russia, as part of their sophisticated information and disinformation operations, engaged actively with so-called non-governmental organisations - environmental organisations working against shale gas - to maintain European dependence on imported Russian gas," Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the former prime minister of Denmark and then-secretary-general of NATO, said, according to the Guardian.
NATO’s press office passed the remarks off as Rasmussen’s personal views, but one NATO official sounded the alarm that Russia’s grip on Europe was tightening.
"We don't go into the details of discussions among allied leaders, but Russia has been using a mix of hard and soft power in its attempt to recreate a sphere of influence, including through a campaign of disinformation on many issues, including energy. In general, the potential for Russia using energy supplies as a means of putting pressure on European nations is a matter of concern. No country should use supply and pricing terms as tools of coercion," the NATO official told the Guardian in 2014.
Environmental groups have meanwhile feverishly denied any ties to Russia.
"The idea we’re puppets of Putin is so preposterous that you have to wonder what they’re smoking over at NATO HQ," Greenpeace told the Guardian in 2014.

I hate to be the one to say it, but this isn't exactly a state secret. The Saudis have been big spenders as well. Who could have thunk it? All these people and countries acting in their own immediate self interest.
Even more with a significant part of the Western population in a semi permanent state of hysteria in search of a cause. Nope, nobody saw THAT coming.

Crisis? What "food crisis"? That's only for Africans.
.. 'cept when it's not:
A UK minister has ignored the pleas of farmers to take action against the forthcoming Ukraine food crisis in favour of maintaining her leftist government’s green agenda.
As the Ukraine crisis causes Europe’s food security situation to significantly worsen, British farmers have asked authorities to allow land earmarked for “rewilding” to be used for crops in the hopes of curbing ever-rising food prices.
President Emmanuel Macron said La Belle France is offering protection from the French embassy and asylum to the anti-war activist who interrupted a news program on Russia’s state television ... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
, holding a poster protesting the war in Ukraine.
An independent human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... group that monitors political arrests identified the woman as Marina Ovsyannikova. The group, OVD-Info, posted on its website that Ovsyannikova, who identified herself as an employee of the station, was taken into police custody.
Macron said he will "propose this solution in a direct and very concrete manner" to Russian President Vladimir Putin ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances... in their next phone call.
A Russian editor who protested against Moscow’s military action in Ukraine during a prime-time news broadcast on state TV was released with a fine on Tuesday after a court hearing.
A judge at Moscow’s Ostankino district court ordered state TV employee Marina Ovsyannikova to pay a fine of 30,000 rubles ($280) after she barged onto the set of Russia’s most-watched evening news broadcast holding a poster reading "No War."
The mother of two could have faced a maximum punishment of 10 years in detention for calling for illegal protests.

[SAHARAREPORTERS] An 18-year-old Ukrainian refugee has allegedly been gang-raped by two men onboard a German hotel ship being used to house people fleeing the Russia-waged war.
Unfortunately one of the risks of being a refugee. Rape and other crimes have been a noted problem of refugee shelters in Germany and elsewhere.
The woman was reportedly assaulted by two men, one after the other on the Oscar Wilde hotel ship. The alleged assailants, aged 37 and 26, are from Iraq and Nigeria but also hold Ukrainian citizenship, Bild reported.
Police launched an investigation into the alleged assault which took place on March 6 and arrested the two men, who remain in jug, Dusseldorf prosecutor's office confirmed on Monday.
Alongside paying guests, more than 25 refugees were staying on the hotel ship at the time of the alleged incident after fleeing the brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine last month, Daily Mail reports.
Since the start of the Russian invasion on 24 February, more than three million people, including over one million children, have fled Ukraine for other states in Europe, according to the UN.
It is almost entirely women and kiddies making up the number who are fleeing across Ukraine's borders and concerns are growing on how to protect the most vulnerable refugees from being targeted by human traffickers or becoming victims to other forms of exploitation.
It is at least the second alleged rape of a teenage Ukrainian refugee after a man was arrested in Poland last week on suspicion of assaulting a 19-year-old who had fled the conflict.
A 49-year-old man was detained in Wroclaw, Poland, on Thursday after he allegedly lured the young woman in with the offer of help over the internet.
The suspect could face up to 12 years in prison for the 'brutal crime,' authorities said. 'He met the girl by offering his help via an internet portal.'
'She beat feet from war-torn Ukraine, did not speak Polish. She trusted a man who promised to help and shelter her. Unfortunately, all this turned out to be deceitful manipulation.'
