An investigation by The Associated Press and the PBS series “Frontline” has documented a sophisticated Russian-run smuggling operation that has used falsified manifests and seaborne subterfuge to steal Ukrainian grain worth at least $530 million.

A team of experts commissioned by the U.N.’s top human rights body to look into rights violations in Ukraine says its initial investigation has turned up evidence of war crimes following Russia’s invasion.

The United States and its allies plan to ramp up criticism of Russia for its war in Ukraine and press other countries to join in their forceful condemnations of the conflict.

Also, five commanders who led the defense of a steel plant in Mariupol are traded for 55 Russians.

Anti-war groups say the limited airplane tickets out of Russia reached enormous prices due to high demand and swiftly became unavailable.

The first such call-up in Russia since World War II sent some Russians scrambling to buy plane tickets out of the country, and hundreds of people were arrested at anti-war demonstrations across the country.
