Have they gone mad out there? Do we really want perversions that lead to degradation and extinction to be imposed on children in our schools from the primary grades? To be drummed into them that there are various supposed genders besides women and men, and to be offered a sex change operation? Do we want all this for our country and our children?”Putin’s remarks were a well-timed attempt to blunt criticism from the West of elections, held in Russian-sympathetic territories in eastern Ukraine, in which voters allegedly chose to secede from Ukraine and join Russia.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has called the attack on the Kerch Bridge to Crimea a "terrorist act" carried out by Ukrainian special forces, Russian media outlets are reporting.
A video of the country's President during a meeting with Alexander Bastrykin, the chairmen of Russia's Investigative Committee, on Sunday captured Putin saying: "There’s no doubt it was a terrorist act directed at the destruction of critically important civilian infrastructure.”
Mr Bastrykin said he had opened a criminal case into an act of terrorism, and that early investigations had shown Ukrainian special services and citizens of Russia and other countries had taken part in the act, which Russian officials claim killed three people. He said investigations “have already established the route of the truck” that Russian authorities said set off a bomb and explosion on the bridge.

According to Mr Bastrykin, the truck had been to Bulgaria, Georgia, Armenia, North Ossetia, Krasnodar (a region in southern Russia) and other places. The Kerch Bridge partially collapsed after an explosion in the early hours of Saturday morning, October 8, the day after President Putin's 70th birthday.
The bridge linked Russia to the Crimean peninsula, and was a key supply route for the Kremlin's war efforts in Southern Ukraine. Russian authorities say a truck bomb caused the blast, which the Investigative Committee sat was owned by a resident of the Krasnodar region. Investigators arrived at his home and have been looking at the truck's route and details around the vehicle.
