Russian authorities and multinational companies have erected a digital barricade between the country and the West, erasing the last remnants of independent information online.

Even as President Vladimir V. Putin tightened his grip on Russian society over the past 22 years, small pockets of independent information and political expression remained online.

Any remnants of that are now gone.

As Mr. Putin has waged war on Ukraine, a digital barricade went up between Russia and the world. Both Russian authorities and multinational internet companies built the wall with breathtaking speed. And the moves have ruptured an open internet that was once seen as helping to integrate Russia into the global community.

“Children without parental care are at a heightened risk of violence, abuse and exploitation. When these children are moved across borders, the risks are multiplied. The risk of trafficking also soars in emergencies,” they said.

In a resolution adopted on Friday, the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva agreed to establish a commission to investigate violations committed during Russia’s military attack on Ukraine.

Thirty-two countries voted in favour of the resolution, which was presented by Ukraine. Russia and Eritrea voted against it, while 13 nations abstained.

Minute of silence
Council Members observed a minute of silence to honour the victims of the bloodshed.

The resolution calls for the “swift and verifiable” withdrawal of Russian troops and Russian-backed armed groups from Ukraine and urges safe and unhindered humanitarian access to people in need.

The independent international Commission of Inquiry will have a mandate that includes investigating all alleged rights violations and abuses, and related crimes, and making recommendations on accountability measures.

The vote capped two days of discussions on Ukraine in the Council, which is holding its annual month-long session.

The White House announced Saturday that the United States and allies agreed to block select Russian banks from SWIFT, the global financial messaging system.

In a joint statement with leaders of the European Commission, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Canada, the officials said Russia being excluded from SWIFT ensures “that these banks are disconnected from the international financial system and harm their ability to operate globally.”

The announcement comes after President Joe Biden on Thursday told reporters that the penalties from the latest round of sanctions against Russia are “maybe more consequence than SWIFT.”
