Russian Abduction of Ukrainian Children is Part of Effort To Erase Ukrainian Identity
The “largest child abduction case since World War 2” is set to be discussed by the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission of the U.S. Congress.
The March 25 hearing will focus on the Ukrainian children illegally abducted by Russia, who are estimated by Ukraine to number at nearly 20,000.
The abductions are an example of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s determination to erase Ukrainian identity through forced “Russification” — a policy that was the basis for the 2023 arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court for the Russian leader, along with Commissioner for Children’s Rights Maria Lvova-Belova.
The commission’s hearing follows a report issued earlier in March by the UN Human Rights Council’s Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine. Noting that the vast majority of the abducted children have not been returned more than four years after Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine, it concluded that, “Russian authorities committed the crimes against humanity of deportation and forcible transfer, as well as of enforced disappearances of children.”
The UN commission concentrated on 1,205 Ukrainian children confirmed to have been deported from Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine into Russian territory.
So far, 80 percent have not been returned, and the locations of some are unknown. The report found that Russian authorities “unjustifiably delayed their repatriation” of those children who have been returned, with parents, legal guardians, or relatives having to locate children on their own.
The report asserts that Russian authorities have openly discussed the long-term placement and adoption of the abductees.
Many of the children are highly vulnerable, including orphans and those with disabilities, as well as children forcibly separated from their parents or guardians, and those who are too young to recall their families or homes…..
Sickening discovery at remote vacation mansion leads to man’s arrest
The Story At A Glance
– A tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children flagged suspected child sexual abuse material (CSAM) distribution online, prompting an investigation.
– Authorities raided a remote vacation mansion, uncovering sickening evidence that led to a man’s arrest for CSAM-related offenses.
– The case highlights NCMEC’s CyberTipline role in analyzing millions of reports and escalating urgent threats to law enforcement.
Context
NCMEC’s CyberTipline processes over 20 million reports annually, identifying CSAM on platforms, apps, and the dark web, often leading to raids on private properties like vacation homes. In 2024, reports surged due to online enticement, AI-generated abuse, and sextortion, with the U.S. hosting most global CSAM due to its infrastructure.
Christian Perspective
Scripture commands us to protect the innocent, as children are a heritage from the Lord (Psalm 127:3), making the exploitation of minors a direct assault on God’s design for family and purity. This discovery reveals the depths of sin in a fallen world, where predators prey on the vulnerable, echoing biblical warnings against those who harm little ones (Matthew 18:6). From a Christian nationalist view, safeguarding our nation’s youth demands swift justice rooted in biblical morality, not secular leniency.
Implications
This incident underscores the erosion of American family structures, where unchecked digital vices threaten the moral fabric Christians hold dear, leading to broken homes and generational trauma. It signals a society adrift from God, prioritizing individual freedoms over communal protection of the innocent, which weakens our Christian heritage. For believers, it calls for renewed vigilance to preserve values that honor life and chastity against pervasive evil.
Broader Trends
The rise in CSAM ties to cultural decay from liberal policies that normalize sexual deviance, including LGBTQ+ agendas that blur family roles and invite predation on youth. Mass immigration and globalist tech platforms exacerbate this by flooding borders and networks with unvetted threats, aligning with the Great Replacement’s aim to dilute traditional American Christian identity. Politically, it exposes failures of weak leadership, demanding America First reforms to secure borders, censor degenerate content, and enforce hierarchical order.
Takeaway
Parents must monitor children’s online activity rigorously, teaching biblical purity to shield them from digital wolves. Support laws that prioritize child protection over tech giants’ profits, echoing Christian calls for just authority (Romans 13). As nationalists, rally for policies restoring family sovereignty, rejecting egalitarian myths that enable such horrors in our homeland.
NASA to build $20 billion moon base instead of a lunar space station
NASA is cancelling plans to deploy a space station in lunar orbit and will instead use its components to construct a $20 billion base on the moon’s surface over the next seven years, its new chief Jared Isaacman said on Tuesday.
Isaacman, who was sworn in at the agency in December, made the announcement at the opening of a day-long event at NASA’s Washington headquarters at which he outlined a raft of changes he is making to the agency’s flagship moon program Artemis.
Isaacman mentioned the moon base in an interview with NewsNation’s Katie Pavlich last week. You can watch that interview at the top of this story.
“It should not really surprise anyone that we are pausing Gateway in its current form and focusing on infrastructure that supports sustained operations on the lunar surface,” Isaacman told delegates at the event.
The Lunar Gateway station, largely already built with contractors Northrop Grumman and Vantor, formerly Maxar, was meant to be a space station parked in a lunar orbit. Repurposing the craft for a lunar surface base is not simple.
“Despite some of the very real hardware and schedule challenges, we can repurpose equipment and international partner commitments to support surface and other program objectives,” Isaacman said.

Trump says Iran gave US a ‘present’ related to Strait of Hormuz
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Iran has given the United States a “present” recently that is related to the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf.
The president claimed the gift arrived Tuesday and that it was oil and gas related, but did not provide specifics on what the mystery present was or what prompted the prize.
“They gave us a present, and the present arrived today,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “It was a very big present, worth a tremendous amount of money, and I’m not going to tell you what the present is, but it was a very significant prize.”
Trump said the gift signaled that the United States was negotiating and working with the “right people” in Iran after a conflict broke out in the Middle East last month that resulted in the death of Iran’s former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“They gave it to us, and they said they were going to give it, so that meant one thing to me: we’re dealing with the right people,” Trump said. “We have, really, regime change. You know, this is a change in the regime, because the leaders are all very different than the ones that we started off with that created all those problems.”
American hostage to finally return home after Taliban captivity
An American hostage has been released by the Taliban after more than a year in custody.
Fox News reported Tuesday that Dennis Coyle, an American academic who spent nearly two decades in Afghanistan before being detained by the Taliban without charges, has finally been released after more than a year in near-solitary confinement.
Earlier this month, Secretary of State Marco Rubio designated Afghanistan as a state sponsor of wrongful detention, writing on social media, “The Taliban continue to use terrorist tactics to seek policy concessions, but it won’t work under this administration. The Taliban must release Dennis Coyle, Mahmood Habibi, and all Americans unjustly detained in Afghanistan.”
On Tuesday, Rubio celebrated Coyle’s release as “a positive step towards ending the practice of hostage diplomacy.”
“Earlier this month, I met Molly, Amy, and Patti as they asked for help freeing their brother Dennis Coyle from detention in Afghanistan. Today, Dennis is on his way home. We thank the UAE and Qatar for their support,” Rubio said on social media.
Coyle’s family told Fox News that Coyle had been working legally as an academic researcher to support language communities in Afghanistan.
He was seized on January 27, 2025, just days after another American, Ryan Corbett, was released at the start of President Trump’s second term, CBS News reported on the anniversary of Coyle’s detention……
Florida Woman Sentenced to Probation for Trying to Hire Hitman to Kill Her Toddler
Twenty-year-old Jazmin Paez of Miami pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two years of community control and 12 years of reporting probation, NBC Miami reported Monday.
Paez admitted she sent a request to rentahitman.com to have her child killed. The site’s owner, Robert Innes, said most of the requests he receives on the website are clearly people joking, but Paez’s was different.
“The ability to research names and addresses and verify the intended target lived at a particular address—that to me is a red flag. If that information is corroborated, that is something that needs to be looked at, and that’s why I referred it,” Innes explained.
Following her arrest in 2023, News 3 reported:
Two sections of RentAHitman.com have led police to arrests in various parts of the country: The “Services Request Form” and the “Careers Form.”
In 2021, a woman in Michigan was arrested for trying to use the site to hire a hitman to kill her husband. Earlier this year, an Air National Guardsman in Tennessee was arrested for applying to become a hitman by using the website.
Assistant State Attorney Ayana Duncan said Monday the woman was a teen mother and the child may have been born out of an incestuous relationship, also claiming Paez was “ill-equipped” to care for the child, per Court TV….
