He spent the last six seasons in the Czech Extraliga, in which he wore the jerseys of Hradec Králové, Vítkovice and Liberec. In the summer, however, Slovakian hockey defenseman Mislav Rosandič decided to nod to an offer from the KHL and signed a one-year contract with Lada Togliatti. Despite the fact that the 28-year-old native of Zagreb, Croatia, probably slammed the door on the Slovak native, he does not regret his decision.

Seeking Mothers in Tamaulipas: Fighting for Justice and Truth in Mexico
2023-12-19 06:47:00
On Sunday in Tamaulipas, seeking mothers of the organization love for missing They discovered hundreds of human remains in one of the countless properties that have made Mexico our melting pot
Yesterday they demonstrated in Reynosa and they marched to the international bridge demanding something impossible: justice because, when impunity reigns (more than 97 percent of crimes of all kinds are not solved), it is unthinkable that the state and federal authorities carry out the search that, due to the ineffectiveness of the prosecutor’s offices, the mourners do, exposing themselves, as has happened , to be attacked by organized crime. And furthermore, that they identify the victims with the remains; that they investigate each case; let the murderers be caught; that they be punished and the illusory “reparation of the damage” is attempted.
This Monday too, search engine groups from different entities demonstrated in the Constitution Plaza to demand, once once more without success, that President López Obrador listen to them because they want to exercise their “right of reply,” since they reject the magical results of the “house-to-house census of missing persons” that turn 110 thousand into only 12 thousand disappearances.
Dozens of mothers, sons, daughters, fathers, wives, husbands and friends of disappeared women and men regretted that “ignorant and insensitive” people had been empowered to lead the National Search Commission and the Special Commission for Attention to Victims, considering that they are unaware of the problems faced by family members.
The reduction, they said, is fraudulent and pursues “electoral purposes.”
AMLO don’t make them disappear once more, was one of the demands.
And they demanded that the president apologize for saying that the groups are “a simulation”.
The distrust in the new figure is justified, since the census was carried out by approximately 20 thousand promoters of the vote for Morena hired by the federal Ministry of Welfare and converted into “servants of the nation” for the distribution of social support.
Camelia Muñoz (sociologist, reporter since 1990) publishes in adondevanlosdesaparecidos.org a report with the testimony of María Elena Salazar Zamora, which portrays the disastrous government management:
“He doesn’t remember what day in October the men knocked on his door. servants of the nation to ask him if his son who had been missing since 2009 in Torreón, Hugo Marcelino González Salazar, had returned home (…). For the searching mother, the visit revealed that There is no coordination between the authorities to know which investigations are still open, and that they are not looking for his son, “He was 24 years old when he went out to look for work and never returned.”
Returning to what was said by the Secretary of the Interior, Luisa María Alcalde (who “due to agenda issues” did not receive the searchers yesterday either), in the sense that 16,681 have already been located and 17,843 “located”, if they have really appeared, as they shouted in the Zócalo: “Let them bring them to us now…!”

War in Ukraine: “We need young people, under 40 and motivated”
After almost two years of Russian invasion, the Ukrainian army is short of new recruits. Those who have been fighting from the start are tired, adrenaline having given way to wear and tear.

After 22 months of a war costly in men, the Ukrainian army is struggling to find new recruits to go to the front, to fight Russian forces once once more on the offensive. “Our units are understaffed. We need young people, under 40, and motivated,” worries Major Oleksandr Volkov, commander of a battalion of the 24th mechanized brigade.
“Today’s society has probably been deceived by some media, saying that everything is fine with the Ukrainian army, that we are defeating the enemy and that victory will take place in the near future,” the major regrets. “But the current situation is not so simple. The enemy is really very strong, very powerful. And we do everything to hold him back and beat him.”
The Russian army is slowly gaining ground
After the failure of the Ukrainian summer counter-offensive in the south, which crashed once morest a solid Russian defense, Moscow’s troops have regained the initiative since the fall and are attacking several sectors, in particularly in the east.
Koupiansk, Bakhmout, Avdiïvka, Marinka…: with more human resources and ammunition, the Russian army is slowly gaining ground, despite significant losses in men and equipment.
“The State must respond, replace the people who have been fighting for two years already, including me.”
Oleksandr Volkov, Major
Opposite, the Ukrainians are struggling to defend following two trying years, in the heat of the summers, the mud or snow of the winters and the constant bombardments on the trenches. Some, who have been fighting since the beginning, on February 24, 2022, are exhausted. The killed and wounded have difficulty being replaced, with volunteers becoming rarer.
“Over time, it calmed down”
At the start of the conflict, “everything happened in adrenaline, in a sort of exaltation, everyone rushed to fight and so there was no problem” with numbers, says Lieutenant Igor Prokopiak, company commander.
But over time, “it calmed down. People had access to social networks, they saw the terrible, cruel side of war. That initial adrenaline wore off, the brain woke up, fear arose and, as a result, people began to fear for their lives.
“That initial adrenaline wore off, the brain woke up, fear arose, and as a result, people began to fear for their lives.”
Igor Proporiak, Ukrainian company commander
Oleksandr Volkov notes that civilians “don’t really want to join the armed forces.” And the average age of soldiers on the front is increasing. The major cites his unit, which has 40% 45 years and over. “I have seen a lot of young people in civilian life, I don’t know why they are not mobilized. The State must respond, replace the people who have been fighting for two years already, including me,” he insists.
Timing and corruption
On December 1, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asked the military command to review the recruitment system. “It is not simply a question of numbers, of people who can be mobilized. It’s a question of timing for each person who is currently in the army, for demobilization, and for those who will join the units, he said.
The system was also plagued by corruption which allowed conscripts to escape the army. Last summer, President Zelensky had to fire all the regional managers responsible for recruitment.
“I understand that I should have come earlier”
Taras does not know why he was not mobilized sooner. He has just arrived in Major Volkov’s unit and is training with other recruits. “I was stopped on the street and received an invitation to the military registration office. So I went there,” said this 38-year-old municipal employee from Transcarpathia, a western region more than 1,000 km from the front.
“To be honest, the closer I am to the front line, the more interesting it is, the more I understand the need for it. At home, it’s really far from all that, so life is very calm there. Now I understand that I should have come earlier. Because Ukraine must be defended.”
