🇷🇺 A Russian man who was arrested after his daughter drew anti-war pictures at school has escaped house arrest. Local police started investigating Alexei Moskalyov about a year ago, when his 13-year-old daughter refused to participate in a patriotic class at her school and made several anti-war drawings (including one that said “Glory to Ukraine!”). After the investigation turned up online posts critical of Moscow, Moskalyov was placed under house arrest at the start of this month, and his daughter was taken to an orphanage with no access to family. But yesterday, when Moskalyov failed to appear in court for a sentencing hearing, Russian officials said he had fled the previous night and was currently missing.

The plaintiffs are alleging that journalists and private investigators working on behalf of the Mail’s publisher, Associated Newspapers, hacked their mobile messages, recorded their phone calls, and broke into their residences over a 25-year period to obtain private information. Associated Newspapers has denied the allegations, and also argued most of the charges are beyond the UK’s statute of limitations.

☢️ Russia will no longer receive some data on the US’ nuclear forces. White House officials said the move is intended to encourage Russia to resume compliance with the 2011 New START treaty, which limits the number of nuclear warheads, bombers, and launchers both countries are allowed to possess. A stipulation of the treaty requires the US and Russia to exchange data on their nuclear arms every six months. Separately, President Vladimir Putin on Sunday said Moscow will station tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, which borders Russia and Ukraine, though US officials said there’s no evidence yet that any weapons have been moved.
