“Sexual Assault, Racism and Harassment” West’s immoral persecution of Russian dissenters
However, a war that broke out in February 2022 completely altered the Russian lifestyle in the West. The Russian people have begun to live in fear and tension, replacing their former sense of freedom, equality, and love. According to renowned Russian Alexei Zimin, who opposes Russia’s aggression in the Ukraine war, threats have been made against his London restaurant. It has been revealed that Ukraine is running fake schemes, wherein Russian dissenters are being sent to EU nations, only on paper. These malicious attempts to destroy Russian culture seem to be unstoppable.

Review: Homegrown, same again
REVIEW: Homegrown has the unenviable task of trying to balance the extremities of the New Zealand music scene in one coherent event which will appeal to the masses and sell lots of tickets. As a result, its line-up at the one-day event, across five stages, was a collection of the most easy-listening, local bands. I remember first hearing his earworm Sunday Morning on the radio, and thinking he was from North America. MONIQUE FORD/Stuff Troy Kingi at the City stage.

Russia-Ukraine war: Putin visits annexed Crimea, grain deal extended with Turkey, UN
Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014, a move most of the world denounced as illegal. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has demanded that Russia withdraw from the peninsula as well as the areas it has occupied since last year. Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov tweeted the deal had been renewed for 120 days, the period that Ukraine, Turkey and the UN wanted. They signed separate agreements with the UN and Turkey last year to allow food to leave Ukraine’s blockaded ports. Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced an extension of the vital grain deal organised between Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and the UK.

NZ Herald's Adam Pearse: Stuart Nash hangs on in Cabinet- but only just
Stuart Nash is hanging on in Cabinet after being demoted to the lowest ranking. A third incident involving Nash's conduct as a Government Minister came to light on Friday, in which he approached a Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment official about an immigration case. Chris Hipkins has gone on to say that any further lapses in Nash's judgement will result in his outright dismissal as a minister. NZ Herald political reporter Adam Pearse says someone with Stuart Nash's level of power and influence still has to follow the rules and needed the reminder to toe the line from the PM. LISTEN ABOVE
