Russian soldier's devastating last texts to mum moments before death in Ukraine

Russian Orthadox Church has reportedly delivered a communication to Russian "warriors" telling them that their "task is to wipe Ukraine off the face of the earth."

Your duty is to defend the Fatherland from Ukrainian nationalists."Your task is to wipe the Ukrainian nation off the face of the earth."Your enemy is an ideology causing sinful damage to human soul."The Department for relations with the military and the police of the Bryansk Eparchy, Priest Mikhail Ageshin.”The image shows an icon of the Martyr Evgeny Rodionov, who was killed in Chechnya in 1996 for refusing to remove his baptismal cross.The document is particularly terrifying given the apparent war crimes committed by Russian troops in Bucha, Ukraine.However, the diocese refutes claims that they produced the image.

Amber Heard and Johnny Depp will kick off Monday in Virginia court — where the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star is suing his ex-wife for $50 million claiming she defamed him in a 2018 op-ed.The star-studded witness list for the Fairfax County trial includes everyone from Elon Musk to James Franco and the warring ex-couple themselves.At the center of the case is the piece that Heard, 35, wrote for the Washington Post, in which she spoke out about being a victim of “sexual violence.” While Depp is not named in the op-ed, the actor who once made upwards of $20 million per film, says it ruined his reputation and career after it was widely assumed Heard was writing about their five-year relationship.Defamation cases as high-profile as this one are usually litigated behind closed doors, but a jury of 12 Virginians will ultimately decide whether they find Heard’s allegations credible.Just days after Heard’s op-ed published, Disney dropped Depp from its “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, which collectively grossed more than $4.5 billion in the box office.
