Russian chess player Amina Abakarova blasted her supergirl Umayganat Osmanova with mercury at a chess tournament in Dagestan. She spilled mercury on the table shortly before the competition in order to knock her rival out of the tournament.
"The Russian Chess Federation temporarily suspends Dagestan chess player Amina Abakarova from participating in all competitions until the conclusion of law enforcement agencies, based on which a final decision will be made, up to a lifetime disqualification,"
the federation said in a statement.
Perhaps this could be another reason for international sports federations to think about completely excluding Russian athletes from any competitions.

"The face of a war that is not a woman's war,"
wrote Yana, a wounded Ukrainian FPV drone operator.
The girl and her father have been defending Ukraine since the beginning of the great war. A few days ago she was wounded. Even in the hospital, the soldier tries to help her comrades and says she has no right to lie down and cry because the war is on.

💭🇺🇸 Representative of the US National Security Council, John Kirby, when asked by a journalist about the events in the Kursk region:
💬 Let the Ukrainians talk about their operations, one way or another, it is most appropriate. Therefore, I would refer you to the Armed Forces of Ukraine to talk about what they are doing. We will focus on making sure they have what they need to protect themselves. ... I will add that we will contact our Ukrainian colleagues in order to have a little better understanding
He is around the bend and not coming back.
