MOSCOW — More than 100 fishermen were rescued from a sheet of floating ice that drifted into waters off Russia’s remote Far East, authorities said Wednesday.The 139 fishermen became stranded when a 10-meter (32 feet) crack formed an ice floe that broke away from the island of Sakhalin and floated into the Sea of Okhotsk between Russia and Japan, emergency services said on Telegram.Videos shared by responders showed fishermen being escorted away amid strong winds in an operation that involved an Mi-8 helicopter and a Khivus hovercraft, which can travel on ice and water.Not everyone was happy to see rescue workers, however.Earlier, emergency services said “some extreme sports enthusiasts” among those trapped on the ice had refused to leave without a catch.It is not uncommon for...

OREBRO — In the middle of a grand, high-ceilinged church in Orebro, Sweden, Jacob Kasselia, a Syrian Orthodox priest, looked up towards the stained glass windows above him, then back down at his hands. He adjusted the gold cross hanging from his neck."The police say this man acted alone," the priest said. "But this hate, it is coming from somewhere."A member of Kasselia's congregation, 29-year-old Salim Iskef, was among those murdered in Orebro on Tuesday in Sweden's first school shooting and the worst mass shooting in the country's history. The gunman killed 10 students at an adult learning center and then himself.Among the dead are Syrians and Bosnians, according to residents and the embassies of those countries, but the police in Orebro have not given...

Baltic nations end electricity ties to Russia through Soviet-era grid 
BRUSSELS — Nearly three and a half decades after leaving the Soviet Union, the Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania this weekend will flip a switch to end electricity-grid connections to neighboring Russia and Belarus — and lean in more with their European Union allies.The severing of electricity ties to oil- and gas-rich Russia is steeped in geopolitical and symbolic significance.Work toward it sped up after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his troops to invade Ukraine three years ago, battering Moscow’s EU relations.“This is physical disconnection from the last remaining element of our reliance on the Russian and Belorussian energy system,” said Lithuanian president Gitanas Nausėda.EU chief Ursula von der Leyen and other dignitaries are expected for a...
