en years after the tragic event, the Bayamón Superior Court found probable cause Wednesday against five men who allegedly killed famed boxer Héctor “Macho” Camacho and a friend in November 2012.

The suspects were identified as Joshua Méndez Romero, Jesús Naranjo Adorno, Luis Ayala García, Juan R. Figueroa Rivera, and Wilfredo Rodríguez Rodríguez.

“There is justice for my son,” María Matías, mother of the late boxer, said Wednesday when the prosecutors of the alleged murderers of Camacho and Adrián Mojica Montalvo, Camacho’s friend, announced the court ruling at a news conference Wednesday afternoon.

“I’m calm now. I have the pain, because that is not going to go away, but I am grateful to [the prosecutors],” Matías said during the press conference.

“They granted me justice, and that is the most I can ask for,” she said. “I waited ten years. I went from police station to police station looking for justice for my son. I didn’t stop. I came from New York, I paid for the [airline ticket], I was in the police stations for two and three months looking for justice for my son and finally God gave me justice. I thank everyone because Macho loved everyone and because he was a good son.”

The police probe culminated in the clarification and filing of 27 criminal charges by the Puerto Rico Department of Justice against the suspects. Judge Milagros Muñiz Más found cause for arrest for all the crimes filed by prosecutors.

“Impunity has no place in the new Department of Justice,” Justice Secretary Domingo Emanuelli Hernández said. “If you committed a crime, rest assured that we are coming for you.”

He confirmed that the Justice Department’s Organized Crime and Drugs Division, led by prosecutor Janet Parra Mercado, filed charges of conspiracy and murder in the first degree against all suspects. He added that Rodríguez Rodríguez, Ayala García and Méndez Romero also face two charges for violations of the Weapons Law for carrying and firing a firearm, and one charge under the Law Against Organized Crime and Money Laundering.

Puerto Rico Police Commissioner Antonio López Figueroa said “there are investigations that take longer than others.” “But this case shows that in the end we are going to find those responsible and with the help of the Department of Justice, we will prosecute them,” he said.

Camacho died on Nov. 24, several days after he was taken off life support. A passing gunman had shot Camacho, who was in a car in front of a bar in his hometown

of Bayamón. He had been declared clinically brain dead and placed on life support.

Camacho, a former multi-division champion, was in the passenger seat of the car whose driver was shot twice and killed.

Authorities at the time found nine bags of cocaine on the slain driver, who had a long history of drug-related charges and was Camacho’s friend.

Camacho was considered a promoter’s godsend because he was a showman in the ring against some of the greatest fighters of his era: Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Oscar de la Hoya, Julio César Chávez, Félix Trinidad and Vinny Pazienza.

He was known for long, flashy trunks with tassels, and he enjoyed being theatrical, as evidenced by his “Macho” nickname.

His flamboyance was as dazzling as his hand-andfoot speed, and his titles and victories attested to his talent.

A southpaw, he won world titles in the classes of super lightweight, lightweight and junior welterweight in the 1980s. He amassed a record of 79 victories, six losses and three draws.

Among his high-profile bouts was his 1997 knockout of Leonard, ending his comeback effort. But the same year, Camacho lost to de la Hoya.

His most recent fight was in 2010, when he was well past his prime and his life was being marked by drug, alcohol and marital problems. He lost that bout to Saúl Durán.

Camacho, who was born in Bayamón and raised in New York after his family moved to Spanish Harlem, was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, N.Y. in 2016.

“There is justice for my son,” María Matías, mother of the late boxer Héctor “Macho” Camacho, said Wednesday at the Superior Court in Bayamón.

Governor creates post for Völckers Nin after Senate sinks his PRITS appointment

By JOHN McPHAUL jpmcphaul@gmail.com

G

ov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia announced Wednesday the creation, by executive order -- of the position of assistant chief of staff for innovation, information, data and technology and named Enrique Völckers Nin to the post that will be attached to La Fortaleza.

Völckers Nin was rejected by the island Senate on March 1 in his third appointment as chief executive of the Puerto Rico Innovation and Technology Service, commonly referred to as PRITS. “The digital agenda of my administration is key to achieving the government efficiency to which we have committed ourselves,” the governor said in a written statement.

“Völckers Nin has demonstrated his ability to give results to our people, promoting technological tools to facilitate the

Enrique Völckers Nin interaction of our people with their government. We will continue to prioritize government agility through digital

transformation.”

For his part, the new La Fortaleza official stressed that “I continue to focus on giving priority to the public policy of innovation and information established by our governor, Pedro Pierluisi.”

“From this new designation I will give greater focus and emphasis to priority technological projects for the benefit of citizens,” Völckers Nin said. “The people of Puerto Rico can continue to count on my commitment and dedication so that, as has been the case up to now, we continue to have effective results in the digital transformation of the island’s government.”

The executive order establishes that the assistant chief of staff for innovation, information, data and technology will be in charge of supervising the efficient execution of the island government’s public policy on innovation and technology.

Forensics Institute: Girl, 3, died from a heavy blow

By THE STAR STAFF

I

nstitute of Forensic Sciences Executive Director María Conte Miller announced Wednesday that the cause of death of a threeyear-old girl from the Luis Lloréns Torres residential complex was homicide.

“The Institute of Forensic Sciences concluded as homicide the manner of death of a three-year-old minor who was taken to the Diagnosis and Treatment Center of the Luis Llorens Torres residential complex,” Conte Miller said in a written statement. “The forensic pathologist, Lorraine López, performed the autopsy on the minor

on Monday and concluded the cause of death was due to severe bodily trauma and the manner of death was homicide.”

According to the police, officers were alerted on Sunday afternoon about a possible medical case in an apartment in building 41 of the Llorens Torres complex.

Paramedics arrived at the scene and transported the girl to the complex’s Diagnosis and Treatment Center, where death was certified.

The minor had bruises on her body. A man who was with the minor’s mother was detained by the authorities because he had an Forensic Sciences Institute Executive Director María Conte Miller outstanding arrest warrant under Law 54.

S

o far, 175,552 students have completed the online enrollment process for the 2022-2023 school year, Education Secretary Eliezer Ramos Parés announced Wednesday.

The deadline to complete the procedure is next Tuesday, March 15.

“Completing the application on time gives us the opportunity to learn about the need for resources for proper planning ahead of the start of the new school year,” Ramos Parés said in a written statement. “Our goal is to have human resources, according to the needs of each school community. That is why it is important that anyone who needs help to complete the process communicates

Education Secretary Eliezer Ramos Parés

with the school or the regional office in their region.”

The Education secretary added that those interested in enrolling in an occupational, specialized or Montessori school, in addition to applying online, should contact the desired campus, since each program has specific requirements.

Also, more than one occupational program can be selected as an option for the student, if they wish, Ramos Parés said. Parents or guardians must access the online registration portal during the period of April 7-8 to receive confirmation of registration.

Parents or guardians who need face-to-face assistance may visit the school campuses, or the educational regions at the regional offices of Arecibo, Bayamón, Caguas, Humacao, Mayagüez, Ponce or San Juan.

Health chief goes over current COVID-19 measures with their exceptions

By THE STAR STAFF

W

hile Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia’s most recent executive order repealed the requirement to use masks, Health Secretary Carlos Mellado López on Wednesday said there are exceptions where their use will be mandatory.

“The use of masks for mass events will be reviewed in a timely manner following the CDC COVID-19 community levels.

For the low level (green color), the level in which we currently are, their use will be optional,” the Health secretary said in written remarks. “At the moderate (yellow) or high (red) levels, the use of masks will be required. We will continue to actively monitor community levels and make adjustments as needed.”

The use of masks will be optional in mass activities of more than 1,000 people in theaters, amphitheaters, stadiums, coliseums, convention and activity centers, and similar places in which any event is held -- be it exterior or interior. In these types of events, however, individuals must show evidence of their duly completed doses, either of a vaccine approved or authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or any other included in the emergency use list of the World Health Organization.

Generally speaking, individuals can use masks if they wish, but Mellado López urged the public to continue practicing other precautionary measures, such as maintaining a minimum space of six feet from other people and regularly washing hands with soap and water or disinfectants.

The Health chief signed Administrative Order 533 in which he established, among other things, that people who use or work in public transportation, health facilities, correctional institutions, long-term care homes for the elderly or

Health Secretary Carlos Mellado López community homes that serve the population of people with intellectual disabilities, must wear masks.The mask requirement is maintained for individuals in hospitals, emergency rooms, doctor’s offices, health centers, clinics, clinical laboratories and pharmacies, among other healthcare settings.

Child care centers (including Head Start and Early Head Start), public or private schools and universities will continue to have mask requirements while students are in the classroom.

However, mask use will be optional in open spaces at those facilities, Mellado López said.

In accordance with OE-2022-019, the vaccination mandates against COVID-19 are eliminated. However, underage students over 16 years of age will be subject to mandatory inoculation, as established in Act 25 of Sept. 25, 1983, which empowers the Health secretary to publish any other vaccine

that he sees fit to require. The COVID-19 vaccine was already on the list of required vaccines for students.

However, students between the ages of 5 and 15 are exempt from the compulsory vaccination requirement against COVID-19. Similarly, in all cases the medical and religious exceptions will also continue to apply. Meanwhile, the existing vaccination mandate by federal Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services regulation for personnel working in health facilities will continue.

The Health Department will continue to promote vaccination and booster doses in all applicable sectors, as well as orientation campaigns on measures to prevent infection.

Likewise, the tracking and testing effort to detect COVID-19 will continue.

Each private or government operator may implement, at its discretion, the health measures that it understands should be implemented depending on the operation, including the use of masks and proof of vaccination, subject to the applicable medical and religious exceptions.

“It is important that, in requiring the use of a mask, reasonable accommodation measures should be offered to the deaf population such as the momentary removal of the mask for effective communication, use of a transparent mask, and any other that applies and that guarantees the right of this population to receive the service they request,” Mellado López said.

Regarding the rules for travelers, OE-2022-019 already repealed the vaccination requirements to enter the island established by executive order. Given this scenario, the requirement to complete the Traveler’s Declaration upon arrival in Puerto Rico was eliminated. However, genomic surveillance and voluntary testing centers at airports remain in force for as long as the Health secretary deems prudent.

Masks still required for users of public transportation

By THE STAR STAFF

P

uerto Rico Integrated Transportation Authority (ATI by its Spanish initials) Deputy Executive Director Jorge Droz Yapur announced on Wednesday that the use of a mask will be required for all passengers who use the public

The mask requirement for users of island mass transit will be valid until March 18 and will apply to the Urban Train, the Metropolitan Bus Authority and the Maritime Transport Authority.

transportation system in Puerto Rico.

The determination -- which will be valid until March 18 -- will apply to the Urban Train, the Metropolitan Bus Authority and the Maritime Transport Authority.

“The transportation system in Puerto Rico is governed by the standards of the federal government; therefore, any passenger who uses any of the transportation services, in order to move from one place to another, must continue to use the mask as required, as has been the case so far,” Droz Yapur said in a written statement.

The official noted that federal regulations established by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) require all passengers to wear a mask in any transportation system and its facilities.

Droz Yapur also reiterated that “although as of tomorrow, Thursday, the use of the mask will not be required, as established by the Department of Health, that determination will not apply to the transportation systems grouped under the ATI in Puerto Rico, for as long as the federal government authorizes it.”

“At ATI, we continue to work to provide the best service to all our passengers, and we encourage you to pay attention to our official communications so that you are aware of our operations, services, schedules and any other changes in the system regulations,” he said.

Judge gives gov’t until May 2 to submit new PREPA debt plan or other options

By THE STAR STAFF

U

.S. District Court Judge Laura Taylor Swain, who is overseeing Puerto Rico’s bankruptcy cases, has given the government until May 2 to submit a new plan of adjustment for the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) or provide other options.

The ruling was made Tuesday, the same day Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia canceled the restructuring support agreement (RSA) for PREPA reached in 2019, which reduced PREPA’s $9 billion debt by about 30%, contending that it was not feasible and would result in higher rates.

It was the second time an RSA for PREPA has been canceled. In June 2017, the Financial Oversight and Management Board declined to certify a prior RSA negotiated by the firm Alix Partners, causing the utility to file for bankruptcy under the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act, commonly known as PROMESA. Swain directed the oversight board and the Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority (AAFAF by its Spanish initials) to file a joint status report regarding their progress

by March 18. Then by May 2, the board should file one of several options. The first is a proposed plan of adjustment, disclosure statement, and proposed related deadlines; or a detailed term sheet for a plan of adjustment, with a proposed timetable for the filing of the plan, consideration and approval

U.S. District Court Judge Laura Taylor Swain of a disclosure statement, voting and confirmation of the plan; or a proposed schedule for the litigation of disputed issues in PREPA’s Title III case, including the motion for stay relief to seek appointment of a receiver, the unsecured creditors committee (UCC)’s claim objection and issues raised in adversary proceedings; or a memorandum of law showing cause as to why the court should not consider dismissal of PREPA’s Title III bankruptcy case for failure to demonstrate that a confirmable plan of adjustment can be formulated and filed within a time period consistent with the best interests

of PREPA, interested parties, and the people of Puerto Rico.

The judge also on Tuesday denied a request from the Ad Hoc Group of PREPA bondholders to appoint a mediator to negotiate a plan of adjustment that did not require legislative approval. Swain said that to the extent that it sought an order requiring the oversight board to participate in, and PREPA to provide unlimited financing for, mediation focused on a particular subset of creditors under an RSA that was terminated, she would deny it.

However, the judge acknowledged the need for prompt engagement in any actions necessary to bring PREPA’s Title III case to a speedy, appropriate conclusion. Until recently, the oversight board and the government entities’ words and actions gave the court reason to expect that a plan of adjustment would be forthcoming promptly, but Swain said the RSA termination announcement risks a major setback in progress toward readjustment of PREPA’s liabilities. To that end, the judge said she was willing to evaluate a consensual private mediation proposal.

To ensure meaningful progress toward an end to the bankruptcy, Swain ordered the oversight to meet and confer with AAFAF, the ad hoc bondholder group, and all other major stakeholders and interested parties whose collaboration is necessary to construct a viable basis for a plan, to consider whether a consensual mediation arrangement can be entered into promptly to resolve key plan-related issues.

Rome asks Bishop of Arecibo to resign

By JOHN McPHAUL jpmcphaul@gmail.com

T

he bishop of Arecibo, Monsignor Daniel Fernández Torres, announced Wednesday that Rome has requested his resignation.

“When you receive the news of my replacement as bishop at the head of the Diocese of Arecibo, I want you to know that it is not up to me to explain a decision that I cannot explain myself, even if I accept it with the patience of Christ for the good of the Church. Nor is it up to you to judge what only God and history will do at the time,” Fernández Torres said in a written statement. “I am very sorry that in the Church where mercy is preached so much, in practice some lack the slightest sense of justice. I have not been prosecuted, nor have I been formally accused of anything, and one day the apostolic delegate simply communicated to me verbally that Rome was asking me to resign. A successor of the apostles is now being replaced without even undertaking what would be a proper canonical process to remove a parish priest.”

Fernández Torres was noteworthy for taking positions that were different from those of his fellow bishops from the other dioceses of Puerto Rico, on issues such as vaccines

against COVID-19. Some of his positions even go against what Pope Francis professes. Press reports indicate that Fernández Torres refused to transfer the seminarians from his diocese to the new Interdiocesan Seminary of Puerto Rico, approved by the Vatican in early March 2020.

“I was informed that I had not committed any crime but that supposedly I had not been obedient to the Pope nor had I had sufficient communion with my brother bishops of Puerto Rico,” Fernández Torres said. “It was suggested to me that if I resigned from the diocese I would remain at the service of the Church in case at any time I was needed in another position, an offer that actually proves my innocence.

However, I did not resign because I did not want to become an accomplice in a completely unjust action and that even now I am reluctant to think that it could happen in our Church.”

“This personal experience, on the other hand, has helped me realize in a new way the serious responsibility that all bishops have in the government of the Church, which is apostolic and not pyramidal, synodal and not autocratic,” he added. “I think that for quite some time many bishops have been watching with concern what is happening in the Church and we have resisted believing what is happening. Today more than ever we must remember our call to be prophets.”

The bishop of Arecibo, Monsignor Daniel Fernández Torres Archbishop of San Juan Roberto Octavio González Nieves reacted Wednesday to the Holy See’s announcement that Pope Francis I would relieve Fernández Torres of his position.

“It is painful news; therefore, I encourage all the people, especially the clergy, religious men and women of Arecibo, to accompany Bishop Daniel with their prayers and affection in this particularly difficult situation,” González Nieves said in a written statement. “This morning, I was asked if I had contacted Bishop Daniel. I sent Bishop Daniel this text message: ‘Daniel … I know you are going through a very painful time.

I accompany you with my prayers and fraternal feelings.’”

In Texas, Biden says new legislation could expand benefits for burn pit victims

By KATIE ROGERS

P

resident Joe Biden called earlier this week for the broad expansion of health benefits for veterans, particularly those who fell ill after breathing in toxic materials from burning waste in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, exposure that he believes contributed to the cancer that killed his elder son, Beau.

For Biden, the issue is personal and political. Last week, in his State of the Union address, he said he would pursue expanded benefits for veterans as part of a domestic agenda that the White House has retooled to emphasize bipartisan comity after failing to win passage of a more extensive social safety net plan last year.

On Tuesday, Biden briefly pivoted his attention away from a roiling war in Europe to travel with Denis McDonough, the secretary of veterans affairs, to a clinic near Fort Worth, Texas. There, the president met with veterans who had suffered spinal injuries and began coughing up black matter after serving near burn pits, as the military’s garbage disposal fires are known.

Speaking to an audience of veterans and lawmakers, Biden said it had taken years for researchers and lawmakers to better understand the harmful effects of Agent Orange, the defoliant used in the Vietnam War. He compared that situation with what he believes has been a lag in studying the effects of toxins breathed in by troops who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and were burning trash and other waste.

Burn pits are typically filled with trash, such as medical waste and vehicles, which is then doused with jet fuel and burned.

Biden pointed out that he had worked as a senator to support research into the effects of Agent Orange, and he said younger veterans who had been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, often more than once, deserved a similar level of support.

“Today we’re even slower to connect the dots of what’s happening,” Biden said during his remarks. He pointed out that new illnesses, including bladder cancer, were still being added as possible outcomes of exposure to Agent Orange, some as recently as last year.

“Science told us more, decades after the exposure took place,” Biden said. “It took far too long to reach that decision in my view, and I refuse to repeat the mistake when it comes to veterans of our Iraq and Afghan wars.”

Proving a link between toxic substances in war zones and subsequent illnesses suffered by veterans has been politically onerous for lawmakers and prohibitively expensive for many who fall ill. But activists who have fought for benefits for years see a champion in Biden, who has long speculated that toxic substances from burn pits contributed to the brain cancer of his son. Beau Biden, who died in 2015, served in Iraq as a member of the Delaware Army National Guard.

“What better advocate can we have than the president of the United States?” said Susan Zeier, whose son-in-law died of lung cancer after serving in Iraq. Zeier, who is part of a group of activists who have tried for years to get the government’s attention, found a sympathetic listener in Biden.

“Some members of Congress who have been slow-walking this I think are maybe finally seeing the light,” she added.

Three members of Congress — two Democrats and one Republican — traveled with Biden to Fort Worth. One of them, Rep. Jake Ellzey, R-Texas, recounted his own years in the military as a reason for his decision to join Biden for the event.

“There’s a lot that’s not right in our country and our world today,” Ellzey said.

“These are difficult times. These are scary times. At the end of the day, we don’t put an R or D in front of veteran.”

Biden highlighted the bipartisan support for a bill, passed by the House last week, that would expand disability benefits for veterans who were exposed to toxic substances and classify more health problems as related to burn pit exposure.

Sens. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., also have a bill to improve Department of Veterans Affairs benefits for service members exposed to burn pits.

“These are the bills that will unite the American people,” Biden said. “Let’s get those bills to my desk so I can sign them immediately.”

President Joe Biden, left, looks on as military veteran John Caruso demonstrates the use of an exoskeleton designed to help people with spinal cord injuries during a visit to the Forth Worth Veterans Affairs clinic in Fort Worth, Texas, on Tuesday, March 8, 2022.

Opponents of the legislation passed by the House say it will only increase what are already extensive backlogs for others seeking medical care. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, R-Iowa, a veteran, called the bill “wildly expensive” and accused its authors of partisanship.

“The people who will bear the brunt of House Democrats’ lackluster action today are the everyday Americans who need Congress to simply get the job done,” she said in a statement last week after the bill passed the House.

Both supporters and opponents of the legislation agree that more research needs to be done to determine whether illnesses veterans develop after they serve can be linked to burn pits. The Department of Veterans Affairs has said in the past that there was little evidence to prove that burn pits contributed to veterans’ illnesses, and it still advises that many symptoms should disappear after the exposure ends.

But the department also says that researchers “are actively studying airborne hazards like burn pits and other military environmental exposures,” according to an agency webpage on the subject.

Last week, the department announced that it would seek to add nine rare

respiratory cancers to the list of serviceconnected disabilities caused by exposure to toxic chemicals in burn pits. Biden acknowledged that more research needed to be done on the links between burn pits and later illnesses, but he said he wanted the department to support veterans in the meantime.

“When the evidence doesn’t give a clear answer one way or another, the decision we should favor is caring for our veterans while we continue to learn more,” Biden said. “Not waiting, not waiting.”

ongress gave final approval earlier this week to the most sprawling overhaul of the Postal Service in nearly two decades, sending President Joe Biden legislation intended to return the beleaguered agency to solvency and address pandemic-era mail delays.

The Senate voted 79-19 to approve the measure, which passed the House last month with overwhelming bipartisan support. Biden was expected to sign the bill, which the agency’s leadership and an array of interest groups support.

“This legislation will have the same operational and financial impacts as the self-help steps we are taking at the Postal Service to provide the American people with the delivery service they expect and deserve,” Louis DeJoy, the postmaster general, said in a February statement after House passage of the measure.

The Postal Service, arguably one of the most beloved federal agencies, has been on the brink of insolvency for years, largely because of a 2006 law that requires the agency to fund retiree health care benefits for its employees in advance. In 2020, a slowdown of mail delivery and a series of operational changes before the election prompted renewed scrutiny, and Congress doubled down on efforts to reform the agency’s structure and address its financial woes.

The legislation removes the retirement mandate and instead requires retired Postal Service employees to enroll in Medicare when they are eligible, a change that lawmakers and agency officials estimated would save $50 billion over a decade.

“The post office usually delivers for us, but today we’re going to deliver for them,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, the majority leader. “For the past few months, Democrats and Republicans have been working together in

good faith to reform some of the most troubled parts of the Postal Service.”

The agency faced renewed scrutiny partly because of a series of reported mail delays before the 2020 election, in which a record number of votes were cast by mail. That year, Democrats sparred with DeJoy, a megadonor who supported former President Donald Trump, over a series of cost-cutting measures, which were later postponed until after the election.

“Our country is pretty divided right now, let’s be honest,” Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, a key sponsor of the bill, said in a recent floor speech. “But one enduring reality about our country is that we have a post office that ties us all together, and everybody depends on that post office.”

The legislation also moves to address concerns about the agency’s continued service, after Democrats pushed back when the Postal Service issued a 10-year strategic plan last year that proposed reducing hours and lengthening delivery times. Instead, the measure that passed the Senate on Tuesday mandates a delivery standard of at least six days a week.

The bill would also impose new transparency standards for the agency, requiring regular reports to Congress about the Postal Service’s financial state and the publication of delivery data, which customers could search using a street address, a ZIP code or a post office box.

It would also provide for expanded special rates for local newspaper distribution.

Some Republicans on Tuesday objected to the measure, calling it fiscally shortsighted and unsuccessfully pushing for last-minute changes to the bill.

“This bill doesn’t reduce costs — it just shifts them from one unfunded government program to another unfunded government program,” said Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla. But several lawmakers hailed the bipartisan approval of the bill as necessary support for an agency that provides a crucial lifeline to their states.

“There is increasing realization that the Postal Service is absolutely essential for our country — it is the only organization that delivers to every single address in America,” Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., one of the lawmakers who helped spearhead the measure’s consideration in the Senate, said before its passage.

“It’s actually written into the U.S. Constitution as something that helps keep the country bound together.”

Texas man convicted in first Jan. 6 trial A

federal jury Tuesday swiftly convicted the first accused Jan. 6 rioter to go on trial even as prosecutors announced they had expanded their inquiry by indicting a former leader of the Proud Boys, a far-right nationalist group that played a prominent role in the Capitol attack.

After only three hours of deliberations, the jury found the defendant in the trial, Guy Wesley Reffitt, guilty on five counts. They included obstructing Congress’ certification of the 2020 presidential election by helping to lead a pro-Trump mob in an advance against police that resulted in the violent breach of the building in 2021.

Reffitt was also convicted of wearing an illegal pistol on his hip during the attack and of later threatening his teenage son and daughter to keep them from turning him in to authorities. He faces up to 20 years in prison on the obstruction count alone.

The trial, in U.S. District Court in Washington, was an important victory for the Justice Department, which has only just begun the marathon process of bringing to trial what could be scores of rioters accused of storming the Capitol or assaulting police outside it.

In particular, prosecutors and defense lawyers had been watching closely to see if the government’s use of a rarely used obstruction charge against Reffitt would hold up in court, since the same count is at the heart of many of the cases yet to reach trial and has been challenged by numerous defendants.

Just hours before Reffitt was convicted, the Justice Department made clear that the vast investigation is not slowing down, arresting former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and saying he had been indicted on charges of conspiring with several of his top lieutenants to plan and launch the assault.

The indictment of Tarrio did not fundamentally alter the portrait of the violence that erupted at the Capitol. But it did fill in details about how the Proud Boys — one of the most visible far-right extremist groups on the ground that day — planned for and took part in the storming of the building.

Tarrio’s indictment was the second time in recent months that criminal charges had been filed against a leader of a far-right group that played a prominent role in the attack. In January, prosecutors charged Stewart Rhodes, founder and leader of the Oath Keepers militia, with seditious conspiracy for what the government has described as a plot to violently disrupt the work of Congress.

The criminal inquiry into the Capitol attack — now in its 14th month — is by any measure one of the largest and most complicated ever undertaken by the Justice Department. More than 750 rioters have been charged so far with crimes that range from trespassing to seditious conspiracy. More than 200 people have already pleaded guilty.

The department’s investigation is unfolding as a

Supporters of then-President Donald Trump storm the U.S. Capitol in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021. separate inquiry is being conducted by a House select committee that has interviewed more than 550 witnesses and issued more than 100 subpoenas. While the committee does not have the power to charge people with crimes, it said in a recent court filing that it had gathered sufficient evidence to conclude that former President Donald Trump and some of his allies might have conspired to commit fraud and obstruction by misleading Americans about the outcome of the 2020 election and attempting to overturn the result.

The trial of Reffitt, an oil field worker from Wylie, Texas, just outside Dallas, offered an early glimpse of the exhaustive evidence that prosecutors have collected. The weeklong proceeding featured testimony from police officers, a Secret Service agent, one of Reffitt’s compatriots in the Texas Three Percenters militia group and Reffitt’s teenage son.

Prosecutors also introduced a wealth of other evidence, including private Telegram chats among Reffitt and other members of the militia before the Capitol attack, a recording of a Zoom call they conducted after the riot and a 30-minute video that Reffitt made of himself — with a camera mounted on his helmet — just before he led the mob up a staircase outside the Senate chamber and confronted police.

In their opening arguments last week, prosecutors played the jury the video he had made of himself moving among the crowd outside the Capitol and repeatedly urging people to storm the building and drag lawmakers like Speaker Nancy Pelosi out by their hair or their ankles.

With a .40-caliber pistol in a holster on his hip, Reffitt ultimately led a section of the mob up a staircase of the building, pushing through a hail of pepper balls and other projectiles until he was finally subdued with chemical spray, according to the officers who fought him off.

Some of the most dramatic testimony at the trial came from Reffitt’s 19-year-old son, Jackson, who told the jury about how the toxic politics of the Trump era had caused a painful rupture in the family. The tensions

boiled over, Jackson Reffitt said, after his father returned to Texas after storming the Capitol and told him and his sister not to sell their father out to authorities.

“He said, ‘If you turn me in, you’re a traitor,’” Jackson Reffitt testified as his father sat across the courtroom, unable to meet his eye. “‘And traitors get shot.’”

Guy Reffitt’s lawyer, William L. Welch, put on a muted and abbreviated defense, starting with an opening statement that lasted not much more than three minutes.

He called no witnesses and presented no evidence, but argued to the jury that prosecutors had rushed to charge his client, who, he said, had never physically assaulted police.

A wild card in the case is whether Judge Dabney L. Friedrich decides in days to come to toss out the government’s central obstruction charge against Reffitt — one the government has used in hundreds of similar cases instead of more politically fraught crimes like sedition or insurrection.

In the months leading up to the trial, several defense lawyers, including Welch, challenged the use of the obstruction law, saying that prosecutors had stretched it beyond its original intent as a way to curb activities like shredding documents or tampering with witnesses in congressional inquiries.

The indictment of Tarrio, the former Proud Boys leader, underscored the ongoing nature of the Justice Department’s investigation and the continued focus on far-right groups.

Unlike Rhodes of the Oath Keepers, Tarrio was not in Washington on Jan. 6, having been arrested two days earlier for vandalizing a Black Lives Matter banner at a Black church in the city after a pro-Trump rally in December 2020. Charged with a second crime — possession of two high-capacity rifle magazines — he was ordered to leave Washington by a local judge as part of his release agreement.

But federal prosecutors said Tuesday that although Tarrio was not accused of “physically taking part in the breach of the Capitol,” he nonetheless “led the advance planning and remained in contact with other members of the Proud Boys during” the storming of the building.

Pressing for evidence, Jan. 6 panel argues that Trump committed fraud “Violate the law — and let them sue,” Letter said, characterizing Eastman’s counsel.

“Boy, that’s not legal advice that I’ve ever given.”

The committee in recent weeks has issued subpoenas to lawyers, including Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, who worked closely with Trump as they pursued various efforts to keep the former president in power despite losing the election. They offered up false slates of electors claiming Trump had won politically competitive states that he had lost, and explored the seizure of voting machines.

Among them was Eastman, whom the committee says could potentially be charged with criminal violations including obstructing an official proceeding of Congress and conspiracy to defraud the American people.

Charles Burnham, Eastman’s lawyer, said the committee’s accusations against the Supporters of President Donald Trump watch him speak at a rally in Washington, former president are “groundbreaking criJan. 6, 2021, before the violent attack on the Capitol. minal allegations,” but he argued that both

But Burnham also said that Trump was given conflicting legal advice.

“Multiple presidential advisers were counseling the president that there were issues with the 2020 election — fraud, illegality, and so forth,” he said.

Burnham cited a book recently published by former Attorney General William

Barr, who recounted how he tried to break through to Trump to tell him his wild fantasies about election fraud weren’t true, even as others informed the president he was right.

“After the election,” Barr wrote, “he was beyond restraint. He would only listen to a few sycophants who told him what he wanted to hear. Reasoning with him was hopeless.”

The arguments in court were prompted

by Eastman’s attempt to shield from release documents he said were covered by attorney-client privilege. The committee responded that under the legal theory known as the crime-fraud exception, the privilege does not cover information conveyed from a client to a lawyer if it was part of furthering or concealing a crime.

Burnham tried to shoot down that argument Tuesday, telling the judge that there was no overt evidence of a crime or a conspiracy to commit one.

“There’s not going to be an email where anybody involved in the campaign effort says, ‘We’ve got to have some ruffians rush the Capitol if the vice president doesn’t make the decision we want.’ It’s not going to be there,” he said. “There’s not going to be an email that says, ‘We all know that the election had no fraud or illegality, but we’ve got to come up with something.’ That’s not going to be there.”

But Letter noted that Eastman had acknowledged in an email obtained by the House committee that he was encouraging Pence to break federal law in rejecting legitimate electors for Biden — something he referred to as a “relatively minor violation.”

“He wanted the vice president to do something that was plainly against the Constitution,” Letter said, adding sarcastically, “It would have been so minor, it could have changed the entire course of our democracy.”

At one point, Carter focused on part of Eastman’s memo in which he encouraged Pence to reject electors “without asking for permission.”

Letter said that part of the memo was further acknowledgment that the Trump campaign was trying to hold onto power through any means necessary.

“It shows that what Dr. Eastman was proposing was: Do this — and basically damn the consequences,” he said.

The judge did not give an immediate indication of how quickly he might rule.

Ban on Russian oil could hit the US economy as gas prices rise

By JEANNA SMIALEK and ALAN RAPPEPORT

T

he ban on Russian oil imports announced by President Joe Biden earlier this week could have meaningful consequences for the U.S. economy, pushing prices at the gas pump higher when inflation is already rapid, although how long-lasting that impact might be remains uncertain.

“We’re banning all imports of Russian oil and gas and energy,” Biden said, speaking at a White House briefing. He said the plan would target the “main artery” of the Russian economy. While he acknowledged that the move would likely push gas prices up, he blamed Russian aggression for that reality.

The ban applies to imports of Russian oil, liquefied natural gas and coal. It also prohibits new U.S. investments in Russia’s energy sector. And it blocks Americans from financing or enabling foreign companies that are making investments to produce energy in Russia.

Europe imports far more of its supply from Russia than the United States, but energy markets are global, and the mere threat of a ban has pushed commodity prices higher in recent days.

“Things have been so volatile,” said Omair Sharif, founder of Inflation Insights, noting that it was difficult to tell how much of the rise in oil prices in recent days traces back to this specific ban. But the conflict in Ukraine is clearly pushing commodity gas prices higher — so much so that the national average gas price could rise to nearly $4.50 this month, he said, “assuming we don’t move any more.”

While the oil and gas ban is almost sure to push inflation higher in the United States, economists have said that the scale of the economic consequences would depend in large part on how it was structured. For instance, it would likely make a big difference globally and in markets if Europeans also ban Russian oil and gas imports, and it is not yet clear whether or to what extent that will happen.

A ban across many countries “would severely reduce and disrupt energy supply on a global scale and already high commodity prices would rise,” Caroline Bain, an economist at Capital Economics, wrote in a research note before the announcement, estimating that the price of the global oil bench mark,

Cars fill up at a gas station in Brooklyn, March 3, 2022.

Brent crude, would settle in at about $160 per barrel in that case.

The Brent crude price jumped by about 6% to roughly $130 per barrel by the middle of the day Tuesday. By comparison, it was about $78 per barrel at the end of 2021.

It is not yet clear how many countries will adopt a similar ban: The White House signaled this week that the United States could act separately in blocking imports of Russian oil, noting that countries in Europe are more reliant on Russian energy, something Biden also alluded to Tuesday.

“Many of our European allies and partners may not be in a position to join us,” he said, but added that allies “remain united in our purpose” to inflict pain on Russia’s war effort. That includes efforts by the European Union to lessen its dependence on Russian energy.

Britain indicated Tuesday that it would take its own steps to ban imports of Russian energy products. Kwasi Kwarteng, the country’s business and energy secretary, said that it would phase out imports of Russian oil and oil products by the end of 2022.

Other European countries are under increasing pressure to follow suit.

“Everything’s on the table,” Franck Riester, the French minister for foreign trade, told the franceinfo radio station Monday, adding that France had to look at potential bans on oil and gas imports from Russia with regard to

“consequences in terms of pressure on Russia and in terms of economic, financial and social impacts in Europe.”

The office of President Emmanuel Macron of France said Tuesday evening that the country had to coordinate with the European Union before taking any further steps but acknowledged Europe’s need to reduce its reliance on Russia.

“The United States is not dependent on Russian oil and gas, but the European partners are,” Macron’s office said in a statement. “We have a long-term policy of getting rid of the dependence on Russian oil and gas, but in the immediate future we need to discuss this with our European partners.”

While Italy is very dependent on Russian gas, the nation’s government has said that if the European Union decided to cut off its consumption of Russian gas and oil, Italy would not oppose the effort.

The direct U.S. economic impact from the loss of Russian oil is likely to be notable, though less severe than what would happen in Europe. According to the International Energy Agency, the United States imported fewer than 700,000 barrels of oil per day from Russia in 2021. That represents less than 10% of what the United States imports globally.

Higher global oil and gas commodity prices and rising prices at the pump will add to the inflationary pain that is already dogging consumers. Prices are climbing at the fastest

pace in 40 years, and data this week is expected to show that the annual increase climbed higher in February.

Rising gas prices will exacerbate that trend. The national average price hit $4.17 Tuesday, according to AAA, a new high for regular unleaded gas.

“There will be costs as well here in the United States,” Biden said. “Republicans and Democrats alike understand that.”

Sharif said U.S. inflation could peak at 8.3% in March, given the jump in gas prices.

Before the conflict, he had expected it to ease down to 2.7% by the end of the year, but now he is expecting a rate closer to 4.5%.

Higher gas prices also eat into consumers’ budgets, preventing them from spending on other things — so a ban could also have consequences for overall economic growth.

But consumers are sitting on big cash piles amassed over the course of the pandemic, and because the United States produces gas domestically, higher prices could also incentivize companies to invest and supply more in the United States.

“It is risky to assume that the old rule about higher prices depress overall U.S. economic growth still applies,” Ian Shepherdson, an economist at Pantheon Economics, wrote in a recent note.

High gas prices could be a liability for Democrats during a midterm election year, given they hit voters right in the wallet. Republicans have already seized on gas prices as a talking point.

“Under Joe Biden, families are paying more for gas than ever before,” Ronna McDaniel, chair of the Republican National Committee, said in a statement Tuesday.

But the White House is emphasizing that the price increases are the result of the actions of President Vladimir Putin of Russia, and Biden pointed out that the United States and its partners are releasing global petroleum reserves.

The president also seemed prepared to shift some blame to companies.

“To the oil and gas companies, and to the finance firms — we understand that Putin’s war against the people of Ukraine is causing prices to rise. We get that. That’s selfevident,” he said. “It’s no excuse to exercise excessive price increases, or padding profits, or any kind of effort to exploit this situation or American consumers.”

Food companies, long symbols of the West in Russia, pause operations

The Pushkin Square McDonald’s in 2020. The company said it was temporarily closing its nearly 850 locations in Russia.

By JULIE CRESWELL

W

hen McDonald’s opened its doors in Moscow’s Pushkin Square in 1990, it was welcomed by more than 30,000 Russians who happily waited hours in line, eager to spend a sizable chunk of their daily wages for a taste of America.

Through burgers and fries, a food diplomacy was forged, one that flourished over the past three decades as corporations like McDonald’s and PepsiCo, private investment firms, and individuals plunged billions of dollars into building factories and restaurants to bring food, culture and good-old American capitalism to Russia. It was perestroika and glasnost sandwiched between two buns.

“McDonald’s was more than the opening of a simple restaurant,” Marc Carena, a former managing director of McDonald’s Russia, told Voice of America in 2020 when the Golden Arches celebrated the 30th anniversary of its first location in what was the Soviet Union. “It came to symbolize the entire opening of the USSR to the West.”

But Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has changed everything, and food companies and restaurant chains have struggled with how to respond. Amid mounting pressure to act, McDonald’s announced Tuesday that it was temporarily closing its nearly 850 locations in Russia and halting operations in the country.

“In the 30-plus years that McDonald’s has operated in Russia, we’ve become an es-

sential part of the 850 communities in which we operate,” Chris Kempczinski, the company’s CEO, said in a statement announcing the move.

He noted that the company employed 62,000 people in the country.

Soon after the McDonald’s announcement, other prominent food companies and restaurants followed. Starbucks said it, too, was closing all of its locations in Russia, where they are owned and operated by Kuwaiti conglomerate Alshaya Group. Coca-Cola said it was halting sales there.

And PepsiCo, whose products have been in Russia since the early 1970s, said it would no longer sell Pepsi and 7-Up there but would continue to produce dairy and baby food products in the country as a “humanitarian” effort and to keep tens of thousands manufacturing and farmworkers employed.

Investors, as well as social media users, have been applying pressure on businesses to pull out of Russia, especially fast-food chains, which have been criticized for lagging behind other companies with decisions about their Russia operations.

For food companies that have spent decades cultivating the Russian market, the act of pausing or ceasing operations in the country is complex. It involves unwinding often byzantine local supply and manufacturing chains, addressing the fates of tens of thousands of Russian employees, and untangling close ties with Russian banks, investors and others that allowed them to flourish all these years.

Russian operations make up only 3% of McDonald’s operating income but 9% of its revenue. Likewise, Russia accounts for $3.4 billion, or 4%, of PepsiCo’s annual revenue of $79.4 billion. The company says on its website that it is the largest food and beverage manufacturer in Russia. It owns more than 20 factories in the country.

Some companies — like Yum Brands and Papa John’s, which have hundreds of restaurants bearing their names across Russia — most likely have less control over whether those restaurants close because many are owned by individuals or groups of investors through franchise agreements, franchise experts said.

“It’s messy,” said Ben Lawrence, a professor of franchise entrepreneurship at Georgia State University. As long as the franchisees are meeting the requirements under their agreement and paying the royalty fees, it’s hard to tell them to shut down, he said.

Yum, which owns KFC and Pizza Hut, said Tuesday that it was suspending operations at 70 company-owned KFCs and all 50

franchise-owned Pizza Huts in Russia. (The vast majority of the 1,000 KFCs in Russia are franchise-owned and, at this time, not part of these suspensions.) Yum also said it would suspend all “investment and restaurant development” in Russia and divert any profits from the region to humanitarian efforts.

McDonald’s, which has invested millions of dollars into building restaurants in Russia and is a symbol of American culture, has felt the effect of geopolitics before. In 2014, when the United States and other nations imposed economic sanctions on Russia over its annexation of Crimea, authorities suddenly closed down a number of McDonald’s locations in Russia, including in Pushkin Square, citing sanitary conditions. The Pushkin Square location reopened 90 days later.

For the better part of the past two decades, Russia has been one of the fastest-growing markets for American brands, particularly fastfood chains. McDonald’s, KFC, Subway and others thrived not only because they were a midday glimpse of Western civilization but also because they were relatively cheap places to grab a meal.

Visits to fast-food restaurants in Russia in 2018 grew 13%, according to a report by research firm NPD Group, as consumers turned to the inexpensive restaurants for “the best in terms of price and portion size.” Last year, traffic jumped 21% as the industry rebounded from COVID-19, the group noted.

“I could succeed in my sleep, there is so much opportunity here,” Christopher Wynne said in a New York Times interview in 2011. A Colorado native who arrived in Russia with the National Nuclear Security Administration in the early 2000s, Wynne soon saw other opportunities, buying into and becoming the largest Papa John’s pizza franchisee in Russia. (He also owned restaurants in Poland and Germany.)

In May 2021, Wynne’s company, PJ Western, which now holds the exclusive rights to sell Papa John’s pizza in the region, showed plans to open about 30 stores each year in Russia through 2029 and forecast that sales would more than quadruple during that time.

The document also shows the close ties that Wynne has forged with others to expand the business in Russia. Partners include Alex Ovechkin, a Washington Capitals hockey star who has previously expressed support for Russian President Vladimir Putin; Finnish private equity firm CapMan; and Russian private equity firm Baring Vostok.

Emails sent to PJ Western, Papa John’s, Ovechkin, CapMan and Baring Vostok seeking comment were not returned.

‘Just put the body outside.’ The bloody siege of Mariupol

Emergency employees and volunteers carrying an injured pregnant woman from a maternity hospital damaged by Russian shelling on Wednesday in Mariupol, Ukraine.

By VALERIE HOPKINS

M

arina Levinchuk said she received an alarming text message from the local authorities in the besieged city of Mariupol several days ago, before she decided to flee. “If somebody dies in your family,” she said, recalling the message in her own words, “just put the body outside, cover it, tie up the hands and the legs and leave it outside.”

“That’s what’s going on in Mariupol now,” she said of the city, currently ringed by Russian forces pounding it with bombs, missiles and artillery. “There are just bodies lying in the streets.

“There is no water, no heating, no gas,” she continued in a video call on WhatsApp Wednesday. “And they are collecting snow, melting the snow, and boiling the snow.”

It has been seven days since Russian forces encircled the city, an important port on Ukraine’s southern coast, and began to lay siege to the roughly half a million people living there. Most communications with the outside world were severed, leaving primarily those with access to satellite phones to alert Ukraine and the rest of the world to the increasingly dire state of affairs.

Having failed to defeat the Ukrainian army in the war’s first weeks, and encountering stiff resistance in major cities like Mariupol, Kharkiv and Kyiv, Russian commanders appear to be resorting to tactics used in wars in Chechnya and Syria: flattening cities with overwhelming and indiscriminate firepower.

A video uploaded to Facebook on Wednesday evening showed the center of Mariupol after an aerial bombardment.

It looked like a wasteland, with tree branches singed, windows blasted out of entire apartment blocks and a destroyed maternity hospital.

Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, condemned the strike on the hospital, berating world powers for failing to stop the killing and echoing his calls for NATO to impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine.

“Mariupol. Direct Strike of Russian troops at the ma-

ternity hospital,” he wrote in a Twitter post Wednesday afternoon. “People, children are under the wreckage. Atrocity!

How much longer will the world be an accomplice ignoring terror? Close the sky right now! Stop the killings! You have power but you seem to be losing humanity.”

Efforts to negotiate a cease-fire to give civilians a chance to escape have failed repeatedly. For three days, the prospect of relief reaching the city through a “humanitarian corridor” fell apart in a hail of mortar and artillery fire.

The fighting around the city has been some of the most intense of the war, residents who managed to escape the conflict say.

“There was shelling all the time. There was bombing,” said Juliia Diderko, a 33-year-old journalist from Mariupol who slipped out of the city just after it was encircled by Russian soldiers. “If anyone can help, please do this,” she said.

“Please do this right now. Because people are dying.”

Residents are doing what they can to survive, for themselves and others in need, Levinchuk said. Trees are being cut down, and food is being prepared outside, because there is no electricity or gas.

“All the neighbors, they are helping each other, sharing the food and the water if they have it,” added Levinchuk, 28, “and people are trying to survive like this.”

Mariupol has long been seen as a potential flash point, commanding a strategic land corridor between the Kremlinbacked breakaway enclaves in Ukraine’s east and Crimea, the territory annexed by Moscow in 2014. Control of Mariupol would not only enable Russia to send supplies and reinforcements to forces farther west, but would also cut Ukrainian shipping off from the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea beyond.

The city’s mayor, Vadym Boichenko, has refused to surrender. He has also complained that it is difficult to count the dead because the bombardment never stops.

The local authorities are planning to dig mass graves to accommodate all the bodies, including that of a 6-year-oldgirl named Tanya who they say died of dehydration on Tuesday after her mother was killed. It was, Zelenskyy said, “the first time in decades, apparently, since the Nazi invasion,” that a child died of dehydration in Mariupol.

Levinchuk, who left behind her husband of seven months and a newly renovated house, made it safely to a city in western Ukraine after 30 hours of driving. But her husband, Alexander, and her parents, who are in their late 60s, stayed behind, and she fears constantly for their lives and their health.

The windows in her parents’ house were blown out when their neighborhood was heavily bombed, she said, but “thank God my parents have a roof.”

Her husband’s parents’ house on the left bank of the Kalmius River, where much of the initial bombing was concentrated, was destroyed, so they left along with Levinchuk.

She worries about her parents, left shivering in their windowless house with temperatures dropping below freezing most nights.

Explosions continue to rock the city, making a “very, very bad situation” for the older residents and those with dis-

abilities, a member of Doctors Without Borders in Mariupol said in an audio message made available to The New York Times. “They cannot find even food, and they cannot create a fire for themselves to cook their food.”

Conditions are also deteriorating for parents and their children, he said, “because they need much, much, more and different supplies and hygiene, and they do not find it anywhere now.”

Maj. Denis Prokopenko, with the Azov battalion defending the city, appealed to the international community for more help.

“Innocent people in Mariupol city are almost starving, this is happening now, it is happening in modern Europe,” he said in a video uploaded to Facebook. Explosions could be heard nearby.

“Attempts to organize a safe corridor for the evacuation of Mariupol failed because of several actions of the enemy,” he said, saying the Russian forces had shelled locations where civilians were assembling to board buses to leave the city.

“If a no-fly zone over Ukraine is not provided soon, we will not be able to manage the supply of water and food, medicine, as well as to evacuate people safely,” he said.

Mariupol is 35 miles from the Russian border, and its residents once regularly traveled there. In 2014, people in Mariupol watched the Maidan protests that ousted the country’s pro-Moscow president and felt uncomfortable, Levinchuk said.

“We didn’t want to go to Europe because we felt like we were a part of Russia, we were really close,” she said, “like brother and sister.”

But that began to change when war broke out in 2014 between Russian-backed separatists and Kyiv. The separatist forces held Mariupol for a month during that conflict, before the Ukrainian government took it back. That experience and seeing what happened in the nearby separatist enclaves and in Russia in the intervening years turned the city’s residents against Moscow, Levinchuk said.

“In these eight years, everything has changed because no, nobody wants to go to Russia,” she said. “We feel like we are Ukrainian.”

As the relationship between Mariupol and Russia has soured, so, too, has Levinchuk’s relationship with her brother Misha, 47, who moved to Russia in 2014 to get away from the war. Now, because of an information blackout in Russia, he has no idea what is happening to the city of their birth — making Levinchuk one of many Ukrainians whose Russian relatives have responded to news of the brutality of the invasion with denial.

“He’s calling to me, and I’m quite surprised because he’s telling me that Russia tried to make people free,” she said.

“Misha, our mom is dying without water, without heat, she has nothing,” she said she responded. “And you were telling me that Russia is trying to make Ukraine free?

“They made our mother free from electricity, from heating, from food, from water,” she said, choking back tears.

“And probably they will make us free of her life as well.”

As fighting gets closer, a Kyiv hospital treats the war’s atrocities

By ANDREW E. KRAMER

A

grim scene awaited Dr. Oleksandr Sherbina as he made the rounds of Clinical Hospital No. 7, a medical facility that once specialized in treating strokes but is suddenly immersed in the atrocities of war.

As he passed the operating theater, surgeons were amputating the lower leg of a wounded Ukrainian soldier.

The hospital is near a combat zone in a northwestern suburb of Kyiv, where the booms of incoming artillery can be heard inside the building amid a scramble of activity as triage nurses greet the ambulances arriving every few minutes. In a hallway, an orderly used a rag to wash blood off stretchers.

“The flow of wounded is growing,” said Sherbina, a surgeon who is the hospital’s director.

In recent days, the fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces has crept from outlying towns to the edge of Kyiv, and closer to his hospital. “We work, and we understand that every day it is getting worse and worse,” he added.

This worries Sherbina deeply. Even as he and fellow doctors treat patients ravaged by the shrapnel that whistles off mortars and artillery shells, they know they are at risk of suffering the same type of wounds.

“This is what I am most afraid of, because we are close to the fighting,” he said. “I am hoping that the walls defend us.”

Around Ukraine, as Russian bombings have grown more indiscriminate and more civilians find themselves in harm’s way, hospitals have become increasingly perilous places to work. They have been hit by heavy artillery, and doctors and nurses have been killed while performing their duties. The Ukrainian Ministry of Health reported that 34 medical facilities had been damaged and at least 10 doctors had been killed.

Ambulance workers have also been killed. The ministry said seven ambulances had been fired on, killing four emergency medical technicians in separate incidents, and that another two EMTs were killed while traveling in civilian cars to treat the wounded.

The ministry’s reports could not be independently confirmed.

The most dire conditions are not in Kyiv, the capital, but in cities partially or wholly surrounded, such as Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine, where three medical facilities have

been damaged by artillery: Kharkiv City Hospital, the Regional Children’s Hospital and a blood bank.

A surgeon working in the military hospital in Kharkiv, who said military rules prohibited her from speaking publicly, described a flood of civilian and military casualties. The hospital, she said, receives 60 to 80 wounded people per day.

“It comes in waves,” she said in a telephone interview. Typically, she said, “the first half a day can be calm, and then a huge wave of wounded arrive,” following the rhythm of the fighting, which tends to take place in the afternoon.

Yevheniy Ilin, a surgical oncologist, was working in the city’s oncology hospital Feb. 28 when a bomb landed nearby, blowing in all the windows on one side of the building, he said in a telephone interview. The heat and electricity went out in the hospital, he said, so he moved to the city’s military hospital. Many other doctors gave up working in the city and joined the flow of displaced people headed west.

“We are coping,” he said. “You just go and sleep any free moment you have.

Whether it is 15 or 30 minutes. You never know when the next shelling will be and if you’ll get to sleep at night.”

The World Health Organization said Tuesday that it had confirmed attacks on medical facilities in Ukraine and said it was investigating reports of more attacks, but the group had a different total than the Ukrainian Ministry of Health. WHO said it had confirmed 16 attacks on hospitals, in which nine people were killed and 16 wounded, Catherine Smallwood, senior emergency officer for WHO Europe, said in a news conference.

The group noted that there had been direct attacks on hospitals and that combatants had at times appropriated ambulances or diverted them for nonmedical uses. The number of attacks had increased rapidly in recent days, she said.

WHO said it had dispatched 76 tons of emergency medical supplies to Ukraine but that some lifesaving items, such as oxygen, insulin and surgical supplies, were in short supply because of the war’s disruptions.

The dwindling supply of oxygen is particularly worrisome, said Dr. Hans Kluge, WHO’s Europe director. He noted that deaths from COVID-19 in Ukraine, where only about 30% of people older than 60 are vaccinated,

are likely to rise because of oxygen shortages.

Sherbina’s hospital in Kyiv is nearly wholly focused on treating those wounded in the fighting. The doctors and nurses have been living in the hospital’s basement since the war began Feb. 24. They have also set up two backup emergency rooms in the basement and placed cots so they can move patients underground if needed. They have a generator and diesel fuel that will last several days.

Yaroslav Linko, an orthopedic surgeon, said the onslaught of patients began about five days ago, when the Russian army began pushing through outlying towns toward Kyiv.

Soon, the wounded started showing up in droves.

“When the young nurses see the wounded soldiers, they cry,” said Dr. Pavel Oblap, an anesthesiologist.

Oblap, a strapping man in scrubs with buzz-cut gray hair, treated firefighters for radiation exposure during the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. “It’s exactly the same feeling of catastrophe and sense of alarm,” he said. “But I’ve been working in emergency rooms for 40 years. I’m prepared.”

He said many doctors had left Kyiv as the war started, including some who worried for their children and evacuated to Ukraine’s western regions or left the country. “Only those who are not afraid remained,” he said.

Oblap was tending to a soldier coming

out of surgery for a deep laceration on his left hand. The soldier was lying on a stretcher, groggy and mumbling.

At one point, the soldier, who seemed unable to explain how he had been wounded, tried to stand up and pulled on a drip line in agitation.

After Oblap coaxed him back onto the stretcher, the soldier, who offered only his first name, Dmytro, said he wanted to tell a joke. “Putin died and went to hell, but there was a bar in hell,” Dmytro began, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin. But then his head tipped back on the stretcher and he passed out before getting to the punchline.

Talk of the war, and the potential fate of Kyiv, was pervasive. Oblap said he didn’t expect the Russians to try to capture the capital in street fighting. It would be too costly for their army, he said.

But another doctor standing nearby, Vladimir Novikov, an orthopedist, disagreed.

“They will do it, and they don’t care,” he said.

Outside, flurries of wet snow blew through Kyiv, blanketing the streets and covering the hoods and hats of people standing in long lines for grocery stores. At Clinical Hospital No. 7, as more ambulances arrived, Sherbina said he is ready to keep working even if the fighting moves into the nearby streets.

“We will do the maximum,” he said.

“As much as is needed, we will do.”

Venezuela releases imprisoned Americans after talks with US

By ANATOLY KURMANAEV, NATALIE KITROEFF and KENNETH P. VOGEL

V

enezuela’s authoritarian government Tuesday released at least two imprisoned Americans, a potential turning point in the Biden administration’s relationship with Russia’s staunchest ally in the Western Hemisphere.

The release followed a rare trip by a high-level U.S. delegation to Venezuela over the weekend to meet with President Nicolás Maduro, part of a broader Biden administration agenda in autocratic countries that may be rethinking their ties with President Vladimir Putin in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The talks with Venezuela, which has enormous proven oil reserves, assumed new urgency after President Joe Biden announced Tuesday that the United States would ban Russian oil and gas imports because of the invasion. That move is expected to further tighten the availability of crude oil on the global market and could raise gas prices at a moment when inflation has climbed at its fastest pace in 40 years.

“This is a step that we’re taking to inflict further pain on Putin, but there will be costs as well here in the United States,” Biden said of the ban on Russian oil.

U.S. officials said that the prisoner release was not part of a deal with Venezuela to restart oil sales to the United States, which were banned under the Trump administration. For weeks, American business people who have worked in Venezuela have had back-channel discussions about resuming the United States’ oil trade with Maduro’s government.

Venezuela could eventually help make up some of the shortfall caused by the ban on Russian oil. But industry experts warned that Venezuelan oil supplies would do little to tame U.S. gas prices and inflation quickly. Increasing the country’s production may take time after the years of mismanagement and underinvestment that have decimated the country’s energy sector.

Prominent members of Congress have also come out against efforts to thaw relations with Maduro, whose government has been accused by the United Nations of systematic human rights violations.

“Nicolás Maduro is a cancer to our hemisphere, and we should not breathe new life into his reign of torture and murder,” Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., who leads the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Monday in a statement.

The released men are Gustavo Cárdenas, an executive at the U.S. branch

of Venezuela’s state oil company who was detained in 2017, and Jorge Alberto Fernández, Biden said in a statement.

“These men are fathers who lost precious time with their children and everyone they love, and their families have suffered every day of their absence,” he said, adding, “We also remember the names and the stories of every American who is being unjustly held against their will — in Venezuela, in Russia, in Afghanistan, Syria, China, Iran and elsewhere around the world.”

Fernández, a Cuban American, was a tourist who was accused of terrorism for bringing a drone into Venezuela in February 2021, according to his lawyer.

At least eight other U.S. nationals remain jailed in Caracas on charges ranging from embezzlement to terrorism.

The purpose of the U.S. officials’ visit to Venezuela was to discuss “energy security” and the status of imprisoned Americans, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a news conference.

Maduro said he received the U.S. delegation at the presidential palace and called the meeting “respectful, cordial, very diplomatic.” The talks, he said, would continue. He also said he would restart talks with the country’s opposition.

The Venezuelan government wants to resume oil sales to the United States to take advantage of high oil prices and to replace the revenues from trade channels it built through the Russian financial system that have been frozen

by Western nations to punish Russian aggression against Ukraine, according to officials and oil businessmen in the country.

Selling directly to the United States would also allow Maduro to reap full profits from the highest oil prices in more than a decade, instead of selling the crude at deep discount to a network of middlemen used to bypass the U.S. ban, they said.

Before that ban, Venezuela exported most of its oil to the United States, whose Gulf refineries were built to process the country’s heavy crude.

In 2017, Venezuelan security forces arrested six executives from Citgo Petroleum, the U.S. branch of the state oil company, after the Maduro government summoned them to meetings in Caracas. The State Department has said that all six detainees are U.S. nationals.

The executives were charged with financial crimes and jailed. Their former boss, Nelson Martínez, head of the state oil company, was detained soon after them and died in custody a year later.

The executives’ families and their lawyers have said that the men, who have come to be known as the Citgo 6, are innocent and that they were lured to Caracas to be used by Maduro as pawns in his negotiations with the United States.

Venezuela’s treatment of the executives varied as U.S.-Venezuelan relations warmed and cooled. Sometimes the detainees were held in prison, other times in house arrest. Since last year, they have been held in a single cell in the Venezuela’s secret police’s underground prison, where the United Nations has documented irregularities and human rights abuses in the case of at least one of them.

Among the other Americans held in Venezuela is Matthew Heath, a Marine veteran who was detained in Venezuela’s northern state of Falcon in 2020. The Venezuelan government says he was spying on critical infrastructure.

Heath’s family and the U.S. government said that he was innocent and that he was detained because of his nationality.

Two other Americans still detained, former Special Forces members Airan Berry and Luke Denman, were arrested in 2020 after they tried to invade Venezuela by boat as part of a failed plot to overthrow Maduro.

The Trump administration cut off diplomatic relations with Venezuela in 2019, closing the U.S. Embassy in Caracas and imposing the ban on Venezuelan oil. A year later, the Justice Department indicted Maduro and more than a dozen other Venezuelan officials on drug trafficking charges, accusing them of facilitating cocaine shipments to the United States.

Putin has no good way out, and that really scares me

By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN

I

f you’re hoping that the instability that Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine has wreaked on global markets and geopolitics has peaked, your hope is in vain. We haven’t seen anything yet. Wait until Putin fully grasps that his only choices left in Ukraine are how to lose — early and small and a little humiliated or late and big and deeply humiliated.

I can’t even wrap my mind around what kind of financial and political shocks will radiate from Russia — this country that is the world’s third-largest oil producer and has some 6,000 nuclear warheads — when it loses a war of choice that was spearheaded by one man, who can never afford to admit defeat.

Why not? Because Putin surely knows that “the Russian national tradition is unforgiving of military setbacks,” observed Leon Aron, a Russia expert at the American Enterprise Institute, who is writing a book about Putin’s road to Ukraine.

“Virtually every major defeat has resulted in radical change,” added Aron, writing in The Washington Post.

“The Crimean War (1853-1856) precipitated Emperor Alexander II’s liberal revolution from above. The RussoJapanese War (1904-1905) brought about the First Rus-

sian Revolution. The catastrophe of World War I resulted in Emperor Nicholas II’s abdication and the Bolshevik Revolution. And the war in Afghanistan became a key factor in Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev’s reforms.” Also, retreating from Cuba contributed significantly to Nikita Khrushchev’s removal two years later.

In the coming weeks it will become more and more obvious that our biggest problem with Putin in Ukraine is that he will refuse to lose early and small, and the only other outcome is that he will lose big and late. But because this is solely his war and he cannot admit defeat, he could keep doubling down in Ukraine until … until he contemplates using a nuclear weapon.

Why do I say that defeat in Ukraine is Putin’s only option, that only the timing and size is in question? Because the easy, low-cost invasion he envisioned and the welcome party from Ukrainians he imagined were total fantasies — and everything flows from that.

Putin completely underestimated Ukraine’s will to be independent and become part of the West. He completely underestimated the will of many Ukrainians to fight, even if it meant dying, for those two goals. He completely overestimated his own armed forces. He completely underestimated President Joe Biden’s ability to galvanize a global economic and military coalition to enable Ukrainians to stand and fight and to devastate Russia at home — the most effective U.S. coalition-building effort since George H.W. Bush made Saddam Hussein pay for his folly of seizing Kuwait. And he completely underestimated the ability of companies and individuals all over the world to participate in, and amplify, economic sanctions on Russia — far beyond anything governments initiated or mandated.

When you get that many things wrong as a leader, your best option is to lose early and small. In Putin’s case that would mean withdrawing his forces from Ukraine immediately; offering a face-saving lie to justify his “spe-

cial military operation,” like claiming it successfully protected Russians living in Ukraine; and promising to help Russians’ brethren rebuild. But the inescapable humiliation would surely be intolerable for this man obsessed with restoring the dignity and unity of what he sees as the Russian motherland.

Incidentally, the way things are going on the ground in Ukraine right now, it is not out of the realm of possibility that Putin could actually lose early and big. I would not bet on it, but with every passing day that more and more Russian soldiers are killed in Ukraine, who knows what happens to the fighting spirit of the conscripts in the Russian army being asked to fight a deadly urban war against fellow Slavs for a cause that was never really explained to them.

Given the resistance of Ukrainians everywhere to the Russian occupation, for Putin to “win” militarily on the ground his army will need to subdue every major city in Ukraine. That includes the capital, Kyiv — after probably weeks of urban warfare and massive civilian casualties.

In short, it can be done only by Putin and his generals perpetrating war crimes not seen in Europe since Hitler. It will make Putin’s Russia a permanent international pariah.

Moreover, how would Putin maintain control of another country — Ukraine — that has roughly one-third the population of Russia, with many residents hostile to Moscow? He would probably need to maintain every one of the 150,000-plus soldiers he has deployed there — if not more — forever.

There is simply no pathway that I see for Putin to win in Ukraine in any sustainable way because it simply is not the country he thought it was — a country just waiting for a quick decapitation of its “Nazi” leadership so that it could gently fall back into the bosom of Mother Russia.

So either he cuts his losses now and eats crow — and hopefully for him escapes enough sanctions to revive the Russian economy and hold onto power — or faces a forever war against Ukraine and much of the world, which will slowly sap Russia’s strength and collapse its infrastructure.

As he seems hellbent on the latter, I am terrified. Because there is only one thing worse than a strong Russia under Putin — and that’s a weak, humiliated, disorderly Russia that could fracture or be in a prolonged internal leadership turmoil, with different factions wrestling for power and with all of those nuclear warheads, cybercriminals, and oil and gas wells lying around.

Putin’s Russia is not too big to fail. It is, however, too big to fail in a way that won’t shake the whole rest of the world.

th i w Revolutionary weight loss solution Andrew Garfield and Lin-Manuel Miranda at the nominees luncheon for the 94th Annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles on March 7, 2022.

By KYLE BUCHANAN

O

n Monday morning, as Daniel Ojari left the house to go to a luncheon for this year’s Oscar nominees, his 4-year-old son surprised him with a handwritten card.

“Good luck at the Oscars,” it said.

Ojari, who is nominated for his animated short “Robin Robin,” broke out into a big grin. Then he turned the card over and saw that it was addressed not to him but to Lin-Manuel Miranda, a best-original-song nominee for the animated musical “Encanto.”

“Can you give it to Lin-Manuel?” his son asked.

So it goes at the annual Oscar nominees luncheon, the sort of event where sound mixers get to rub shoulders with superstars. Held this year at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel and reserved solely for the nominees and their guests, the luncheon is usually a cheerful affair since everybody gets dressed up and nobody loses.

For Jonathan Fawkner, who has been nominated for the visual effects

Oscar three times and is in the running again this year for “No Time to Die,” the high point of the luncheon tends to be the “class photo,” where the year’s nominees are called to the stage one by one to to pose together as a huge, egalitarian group.

“The best thing is that in one breath, they could say ‘Clint Eastwood,’ and everyone claps, and then ‘Jonathan Fawkner’ — huh? — but everyone still claps,” Fawkner said. “It’s brilliant!”

This year, that all played out a little differently. Though attendees had to be tested for COVID-19 within 48 hours of the event, the class photo was still split into small, socially distanced groups of about a dozen nominees each, which would later be digitally combined into a traditional photo.

But for the hours of schmoozing that preceded the photo, no such digital trickery was necessary.

Guests were only too happy to embrace each other at one of the first major awards season events to be held in person since the omicron variant had Continues on page 20

How simple exercises may save your lower back

By RACHEL FAIRBANK

T

he past few years have not been kind to my lower back. Between the physical tolls of pregnancy, parenting and working from home, I have a constant stiff, achy feeling in my lower spine. I am not alone: It’s estimated that up to 80% of Americans will develop lower back pain during their lifetime, with 15%-20% of adults reporting it in an average year.

Could exercise prevent some of this pain? The short answer is maybe. A consistent mixture of cardio and dedicated core work can help. Exercise alone, however, is not a guarantee of pain relief, as there are a number of mistakes that many of us, even experienced athletes, may make.

The spine is susceptible to pain when core muscles are weak.

“The lower back is the center point of our whole body,” said Dr. Krishna Shah, an interventional pain specialist at Baylor College of Medicine. The spine has to be mobile, able to bend and twist in multiple directions, while also bearing the weight of our body.

Surrounding the spine are the core muscles. Although we tend to think of our core as the abdominals, it also includes the deep back muscles, as well as the hip muscles, quadriceps and hamstrings, which support our spine and pelvis.

Core muscles work similarly to a back brace, keeping the midsection stable and upright. That’s why wearing a brace provides short-term pain relief for patients with lower back pain, but relying on one too much can weaken their core muscles. Instead, the goal should be to strengthen those muscles enough to do the brace’s job.

“If you can develop your own internal brace, that is more effective,” said Dr. Sean Barber, a neurosurgeon and spine specialist at Houston Methodist Hospital.

Acute back pain is often the result of pulling or straining a muscle while trying a movement that requires a muscle that has become weak or stiff. If this muscle can’t provide the needed force, then the pressure shifts to the spine in a way that leads to pain.

Developing core strength, flexibility and muscular control can help you avoid these pulled or strained muscles.

Exercise strengthens the spine.

The simplest way to strengthen your spine is to move regularly throughout the day, in whatever capacity works for you. This might

An illustrative photo made in Los Angeles in February 2022. Back pain is common and complicated, but altering your workout to build control and stability can help prevent it. mean increasing your daily steps, taking short walks during the workday or prioritizing a slightly longer walk in the morning or evening.

People who are physically active tend to have lower rates of back pain, and a recent meta-analysis of 25 studies found that the most effective way to prevent lower back pain from recurring was regular exercise, preferably combined with some form of physical education.

“Exercise doesn’t cure everybody, but on average, it’s an effective intervention,” said Mark Hancock, a professor of physiotherapy at Macquarie University and one of the authors of the study. There is no single type of exercise that has been shown to be effective, he said. “If you are doing a variety of exercises, then you are likely getting all the things you need,” he said, adding, “It’s just like your diet.”

Physical activity also strengthens the bones and cartilage of the spine, protecting against age-related degeneration, and increases blood flow to cartilage discs in the spine that don’t receive a lot of blood supply, Shah said.

If you have time, try some fast walking or jogging. A number of studies suggest that runners have thicker, healthier cartilage discs in their spine than people who aren’t active.

Work the neglected deep core muscles.

Working the core is crucial to avoiding future back pain, but that doesn’t mean shredding your abs to look like Chris Hemsworth.

Popular core-strengthening exercises, such as crunches or situps, primarily work the larger, exterior muscles, while neglecting the deeper muscles.

For instance, the transverse abdominis is a delicate sheetlike deep muscle that wraps the midsection like a corset. There is also the multifidus, a muscle that lines the spine, with a number of extensions that wrap each individual vertebra, similar to the way a bicycle chain wraps the sprocket.

“It doesn’t take that much effort to activate these deep muscles, but they are neglected because you can’t see them” when you are at the beach, said Femi Betiku, a physical therapist at the New Jersey Center of Physical Therapy who specializes in treating lower back pain. People with six-packs can still have lower back pain, he added, if they are working only the stronger, outer muscles.

The deeper muscles get engaged during movements requiring more control than raw power. One way to activate your deep core muscles is by doing planks, whether it’s a regular plank, a side plank or some of the many other variations.

If holding a regular plank is uncomfortable, start with your knees on the ground, then progress to balancing on your toes.

Shah also suggested squats, pushups and bridges. To build and maintain core strength, he recommends two to three sessions of dedicated core work a week. “This is a lifestyle change,” he said.

There are also sports and physical activities that require light contraction of the core, such as kayaking, cycling, dancing, barre classes, boxing, rock climbing and swimming.

Any activity that requires a certain level of control over the midsection will help activate and engage those deeper muscles.

Work on controlling the spine.

In addition to strengthening exercises, emerging research suggests it’s important to develop muscular coordination and spine control. This is just as true for athletes, who focus on performance and sometimes neglect exercises aimed at controlling the spine and pelvis.

In a 2018 study, researchers compared elite athletes to a population of moderately active people. Half of each group had lower back pain.

To the researchers’ surprise, both elite athletes and regular people with lower back pain had a similar stiffness in and lack of control over their spine, which is indicative of a similar

pattern of weakness in their back muscles.

“The key factor is how able you are to control your muscles,” said Mariá Moreno Catalá, a researcher at the Humboldt University of Berlin and the lead author of the study.

To combat this, Betiku recommends Pilates because, in addition to strengthening the deeper core muscles, the exercises promote muscular control. For a number of the exercises, the spine either remains stable or moves very slowly, which develops muscle control along the spine when it is in different positions.

Incorporating Pilates into your fitness routine can be as simple as doing short workout videos, many of which require little to no equipment, two to three times a week.

Incorporate an element of instability into your workout.

The slow, controlled movements in exercises like Pilates teach your muscles to move the spine efficiently. The next step is to start exercising in a more variable environment, which develops even more coordination and control.

In another study, Moreno Catalá and her collaborators found that adding instability to exercises — like balancing on an uneven surface or even working out in a noisy environment — was effective at relieving lower back pain.

Moreno Catalá said it is less about the amount of muscular strength and more about the ability to finely control the activation and deactivation of all the muscles that stabilize the spine.

“We think the size of the muscle is the most important quality, but it’s also the quality of activation that is important,” she said.

Choosing sports that include an element of reactivity, whether it is hiking on a rocky surface or reacting to a sudden tennis volley, can result in a similar level of muscular development and control. Body weight exercises, such as pushups, pullups, burpees and squats, also help, since they require full-body coordination, rather than the isolated movement of lifting weights.

Like many, I am guilty of working the outer core muscles while neglecting the deeper ones. But for the past few weeks, I’ve started doing some short Pilates videos, 10 to 20 minutes each, focusing on slow, controlled movements. Two weeks in, the stiff feeling in my back started to fade, disappearing for hours at a time. As it turned out, all my lower back really needed was to develop a little more coordination and control.

Invasion by Russia strains ties with its space partners

By JOEY ROULETTE

O

neWeb, a satellite internet company partly owned by the British government, has canceled a planned satellite launch using a Russian rocket and suspended all future launches that relied on Russia, the company announced last Thursday after a tense public standoff with Roscosmos, Russia’s space agency.

Also Thursday, Roscosmos announced that it would stop selling rocket engines to U.S. companies.

The moves, fallout from Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, stand to further isolate the Russian space agency from its Western space partners and limit Russia’s private space activities dramatically. OneWeb’s loss of a reliable rocket provider for launches also poses novel challenges for the company as it had aimed to complete its constellation of 648 satellites in orbit later this year.

OneWeb was rescued from bankruptcy in 2020 by the British government and other investors. It was scheduled to launch 36 satellites aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket from Kazakhstan on Friday. The company has sent roughly 400 satellites to orbit since 2019, every time using a Soyuz, a workhorse rocket that’s been active since the days of the Cold War space race.

But Wednesday, just after the Soyuz rolled out to the pad before its launch, Dmitry Rogozin, Russia’s space chief, announced two conditions aimed at countering the sanctions placed on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine: The space agency would not proceed with the satellite mission unless Britain withdrew its multibillion-dollar stake in OneWeb and the company provided a “guarantee that its satellites will not be used for military purposes.”

Rogozin also posted a video on Twitter showing Roscosmos personnel on a platform next to the rocket covering up British, U.S. and Japanese flags emblazoned on the rocket’s exterior. “The launchers at Baikonur decided that without the flags of some countries, our rocket would look more beautiful,” said Rogozin, a former deputy prime minister who often makes bombastic remarks on social media.

The space agency’s ultimatum, which came three days before the previously planned launch, spurred emergency discussions among British officials and OneWeb shareholders, who decided Wednesday night to cease all future launches from Baikonur, the spaceport in Kazakhstan where Russia conducts most of its

launches. Rogozin suggested on Twitter that OneWeb’s decision would plunge the company into another bankruptcy proceeding.

Chris McLaughlin, OneWeb’s chief of government affairs, dismissed the warning.

“This is an incredibly well-funded company with no debt, backed by powerful international shareholders who made the decision themselves,” he said.

Britain does not possess its own ability to launch large payloads to orbit. McLaughlin said OneWeb would look to alternative launch providers in Japan, India and the United States.

“We always keep an eye on the launcher environment, but this is a totally new and unprecedented thing,” McLaughlin said.

The company was rescued from bankruptcy in 2020 by India’s Bharti Enterprises, OneWeb’s largest shareholder, and Britain, whose $500 million public investment in the satellite operator aimed to boost Britain’s space economy. Without rockets to launch on, OneWeb’s aim to complete its mega-constellation faces serious disruption. It is competing with SpaceX’s Starlink constellation to beam broadband internet to remote regions around the world.

OneWeb had already faced pressure from British politicians to follow energy companies in severing Russian business ties. The company had paid for its Russian launches in bulk through Arianespace, a French rocket company, and had six more missions remaining under the contract — a launch lineup likely worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

In the coming days, OneWeb is set to enter negotiations with Arianespace to determine how, if possible, to retrieve the money for the suspended Soyuz missions, according to a OneWeb official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive business deliberations he was not authorized to disclose. The official added it was unclear to OneWeb executives when or how the 36 satellites currently in Russia for Friday’s mission would come off the rocket or where those satellites would be stored while OneWeb searched for a different launch provider.

Last month, Roscosmos withdrew more than 80 Russian personnel from French Guiana where the European Space Agency has its only launch site and flies commercial Soyuz mis-

sions. Then the ESA said a joint robotic mission to Mars by the agency and Russia, expected to launch later this year, was now “very unlikely” to proceed on time. And on Thursday, Roscosmos said it would stop cooperating with Germany on joint space station research projects.

With the barrage of Western sanctions over the invasion, Roscosmos’ isolation from its Western partners seemed inevitable, said Victoria Samson, a space policy analyst at the Secure World Foundation.

“It’s not encouraging that Russia’s space agency is self-isolating,” she said. “Maybe this is Russia expediting the death of connections that might be happening in due time anyways. But now it’s being done on their terms.”

NASA, which jointly manages the International Space Station with Roscosmos, has said it intends to continue cooperating with its Russian counterparts. The two partners had been negotiating an agreement to launch Russian astronauts on Crew Dragon, a SpaceX vehicle that carries NASA astronauts.

Beyond cooperation with NASA, Russia said Thursday that it would halt the sale of rocket engines to U.S. companies.

“In a situation like this, we can’t supply the United States with our world’s best rocket engines,” Rogozin said on Russian state television. “Let them fly on something else, their broomsticks, I don’t know what.”

The freeze may most acutely affect Northrop Grumman, which uses Russianmade engines for its Antares launch vehicle that ferries cargo to the space station for NASA. SpaceX also provides this service to the space station, as do spacecraft launched by Japan and Russia.

The San Juan Daily Star

Brittney Griner’s impact is clear as WNBA fans await word from Russia

By ALANIS THAMES and JONATHAN ABRAMS

W

hen Brittney Griner is on the basketball court, everyone knows. At 6-foot-9, she towers over most other players.

She snatches rebounds over her opponents’ outstretched arms, and her teammates know the surest way to score: Deliver the ball to her.

Since the Phoenix Mercury drafted Griner No. 1 overall in 2013, she has become one of the most dominant players ever: a seven-time All-Star, a WNBA champion and a two-time Olympian with matching gold medals.

But now Griner, 31, has become entangled in a geopolitical quandary. Instead of preparing for the WNBA season that’s less than two months away, she is believed to be detained in Russia on what customs officials described as drug charges, with little word on her case or her well-being during the war in Ukraine.

“With all the problems with Russia and them attacking Ukraine, has Brittney become a political bargaining chip?” said Debbie Jackson, Griner’s high school basketball coach. “Is this part of politics? So much of it doesn’t make any sense to me that I find it hard to believe that this is really the true thing that happened.”

Griner was in Russia playing for a professional basketball league, a common offseason practice for WNBA players, who can earn salaries in overseas leagues well beyond what their American teams pay. The date and circumstances of Griner’s potential detention were not known, and the WNBA said all of its players except for Griner were out of the country by Saturday.

Griner is said to be facing up to 10 years in prison if convicted on the drug charges, based on accusations that she had vape cartridges containing hashish oil in her luggage. Russian authorities, who said Saturday that they had detained an American athlete on these drug charges, did not name Griner, but Russian news agency Tass did.

On Monday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said she had seen reports about Griner but that federal privacy law prevented the U.S. government from discussing a person’s detention without their written consent. U.S. officials have repeatedly accused Russia of detaining U.S. citizens on pretexts.

Representatives for Griner have declined to comment on Griner’s status beyond a statement that they were working to get her back to the United States. The uncertainty has caused an outpouring among fans and supporters of Griner, a groundbreaking player known for her unmatched blitz of dunks and her standing as one of the most prominent gay athletes.

A congresswoman in Houston, Griner’s hometown, has demanded her release. WNBA players have posted “Free Brittney” messages on Twitter.

“There are no words to express this pain,” Brittney’s wife, Cherelle Griner, wrote Monday in an Instagram post addressed to Brittney. “I’m hurting, we’re hurting. We await the day to love on you as a family.”

‘Nobody can do what she can do’ Griner was a 5-foot-8 freshman on the volleyball team at Nimitz High School in Houston when Jackson approached her about playing basketball.

Griner initially laughed at the thought of trying out for a sport she’d never played and knew little about. But she quickly fell in love

Phoenix Mercury’s Brittney Griner (42) in the WNBA playoff game against the New York Liberty at Madison Square Garden in New York, Sept. 24, 2016. with it, Jackson said. It helped that she grew nearly a foot, to 6-foot7, by her senior year.

“She wasn’t like a clumsy tall person that had to grow into her body,” Jackson said. “She was really quite gifted as far as coordination.”

Griner earned a basketball scholarship to Baylor University, where for four years she performed with a combination of size, skill, fluidity and speed unlike any other women’s basketball player in the country. She could score at will under the basket, and highlight-reel dunks made her mesmerizing.

“Nobody can do what she can do,” Nancy Lieberman, the first woman to play on a professional men’s team, said during Griner’s freshman season at Baylor. “Not Cheryl Miller. Not Lisa Leslie.

Not Candace Parker.”

Griner led Baylor to an undefeated record during the 2011-12 season, which the Bears capped with a win over Notre Dame in the national championship game. She won the Big 12 Player of the Year Award three times and made 18 dunks at Baylor. Before her, few women had dunked in a college game at all.

‘She was absolutely a force’ The Mercury drafted Griner in 2013, in the hope that she would rejuvenate the franchise. The turnaround was swift with Griner playing alongside Diana Taurasi, the WNBA’s career scoring leader. The Mercury made the playoffs during Griner’s rookie season and won a championship in her second. Last season, she was key to the Mercury’s run to the WNBA finals, where they lost to the Chicago Sky. “In terms of talent, she was absolutely a force and continues to be a force,” said Pamela Wheeler, a former head of the WNBA players union. “I think that everyone was looking for her to help guide the league, which she did, into a new era.”

The year Griner was drafted, the league rebranded, changing its logo and focusing on promoting three rookies: Griner, Skylar Diggins-Smith and Elena Delle Donne.

Griner seemed to be a good fit, with an engaging personality, a willingness to laugh at herself and a passion for calling out bullying. She was also open about being gay, which has become more common in sports, in part because of her.

“I’m up for the challenge,” Griner said at the time about being part of the rebranding. “I changed stuff in college basketball, I guess you could say, so I’m up for it. I never shy from anything. Whatever’s thrown at me, I’m ready for it.”

As she elevated her game domestically, Griner also made a name for herself in international basketball. She won two Olympic gold medals with the U.S. women’s national team, in 2016 and 2021, and started playing for teams in Russia and China during WNBA offseasons.

‘For the money’ and ‘For the love of the game’ Nearly half of the WNBA’s 144 players were believed to be playing for international teams this offseason, including more than a dozen in Russia and Ukraine. Griner has played for the Russian team UMMC Ekaterinburg for several years.

“While a number of players are doing it for the money as well,” said Wheeler, the former union leader, “they’re also doing it for the love of the game and continuing to be able to play and continue to keep themselves in playing shape.”

The maximum base salary for WNBA players is about $228,000, but international teams have been known to pay several hundred thousand dollars, and even more than $1 million. Griner is set to earn just under the WNBA max in the 2022 season. With the WNBA’s minimum salary around $60,000, many players earn the bulk of their income by playing abroad.

After Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, WNBA players in both countries fled.

‘She pushes back on gender roles’ Playing in the United States can come with its own issues.

In her memoir “In My Skin,” Griner wrote about her time at Baylor University, a Baptist-affiliated school that had an official policy against homosexuality at the time. In the book, Griner said that Kim Mulkey, her coach, had warned Griner to “keep your business behind closed doors,” and told her to cover her tattoos and delete social media posts about her girlfriend and LGBT issues.

But the Griner who entered the WNBA displayed a determination to show that she was comfortable being herself. She talked about being gay, wore fitted suits and bow ties, showed off her tattoos and modeled men’s clothing for Nike as the first openly gay athlete endorsed by the brand.

“She framed herself as somebody who was just herself,” said Amira Rose Davis, an assistant professor at Penn State University who specializes in race, sports and gender. She added: “So, when she signs with Nike and when she pushes back on gender roles or when she’s doing the cover shoots, it’s elevating the power of athletes in the game to write their own narratives about themselves.”

In May 2015, Griner married Tulsa Shock forward Glory Johnson, just weeks after they were arrested after fighting at their house in Phoenix. The WNBA suspended each of them for seven games, and they soon ended their relationship.

In 2019, Griner married Cherelle, who also attended Baylor.

In an Instagram post Saturday, Cherelle thanked those who had shown support and asked for privacy “as we continue to work on getting my wife home safely.”

‘It’s just hard to believe’ Little has been said publicly about Griner’s situation in Russia.

Griner’s agent, Lindsay Kagawa Colas, declined to provide details, including whether Griner had been detained.

Colas said in a statement that she was “aware of the situation” in Russia and had been in contact with Griner and her “legal representation” there. “As we work to get her home, her mental and physical health remain our primary concern,” Colas said.

Seahawks plan to trade Russell Wilson to the Broncos

By KEN BELSON

R

ussell Wilson, the face of the Seattle Seahawks for the past decade, is expected to head to Denver as part of a multiplayer trade with the Broncos.

According to several reports, Seattle would send Wilson and a fourth-round draft pick to Denver in exchange for two first-round picks, two second-round picks, a fifth-round pick, quarterback Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant and defensive end Shelby Harris.

The deal cannot proceed until Wilson waives his no-trade clause and cannot be finalized until every player in the deal passes a physical. No formal announcement will be made by the teams involved until the new league year begins March 16.

Those speed bumps aside, Wilson, who was voted to nine Pro Bowls and led Seattle to its only Super Bowl title after the 2013 season, will instantly make the Broncos a contender in the already competitive AFC West division. The Broncos finished last in the division the past two years and have not played in the postseason since the 2015 season, when they won the Super Bowl.

The team has cycled through numerous quarterbacks since Peyton Manning retired in 2016. Last season, the Broncos started Teddy Bridgewater, whose head injury in a December 2021 game kept him out for the remainder of the schedule, and Lock, his backup.

Wilson will join forces with running back Javonte Williams and receivers Tim Patrick and Jerry Jeudy. Denver’s offensive line was ranked in the bottom half of the league last season.

The trade brings to a close one of the most successful coach-quarterback tandems in recent years. Two years after hiring Pete Carroll in 2010 for his second NFL head

In 10 seasons with the Seahawks, Russell Wilson led the team to two Super Bowls, winning one, and he was selected to the Pro Bowl nine times.

coaching job, the Seahawks took a chance by using a third-round pick on Wilson, a two-sport athlete at North Carolina State before exclusively playing football at Wisconsin.

Under Carroll’s relentlessly upbeat style, Wilson and the Seahawks instantly blossomed, making the first of eight postseason appearances together in Wilson’s rookie year. Wilson’s strong arm and accuracy, alongside a rushing game led by Marshawn Lynch and one of the league’s best defenses, helped the team reach two Super Bowls and win one.

But as players from those Super Bowl teams started departing, the team’s fortunes began to turn. Wilson’s contract, once one of the largest in the league, was eclipsed by those of other quarterbacks. Before the 2021 season, he said in interviews that he wanted to have a greater say in personnel decisions in Seattle, but never outright demanded a

trade, though the team’s offensive line was so porous he was consistently one of the most sacked quarterbacks in the league.

Carroll said as recently as last week that the team had no plans to move Wilson.

Seattle finished 7-10 last season, the team’s first losing campaign since 2011, the year before Wilson arrived. He ranks fifth among active quarterbacks in passing yards, with 37,059, and averaged 222.3 yards per game in 14 starts and threw for 25 touchdown scores last season. He missed three games because of a hand injury.

The trade for Wilson was engineered

by Broncos general manager George Paton, and comes as the Denver franchise is set to be sold for the first time in nearly 40 years following the death of Pat Bowlen, the longtime team owner. Wilson will be led by coach Nathaniel Hackett, who was hired by the Broncos in January after working as an offensive coordinator for the Green Bay

Packers for the past three seasons. Hackett takes over a Broncos offense that was ranked in the bottom third of the league for the past five years.

The Broncos were said to be in the market for Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has expressed some displeasure playing in Green Bay. Less than an hour before NFL Network first reported on the Broncos-Seahawks trade, other reports surfaced suggesting that Rodgers had reached a deal to stay with the Packers.

Rodgers said on Twitter that he would return to the Packers next year, but had yet to formally sign a new contract.

With Wilson and his hefty contract heading to Denver, the Seahawks will now work on rebuilding what was one of the oldest rosters in the league last year. Before they traded Wilson, Seattle had a roster that was $34 million below the salary cap, giving the team a lot of flexibility to sign free agents. Wilson, who signed a four-year, $140 million contract extension in 2019, will earn $37 million this season in salary and bonuses.

Despite the Seahawks’ dismal 2021 showing, Carroll and general manager John Schneider will remain with the club. A new era will begin in Seattle, where Carroll and Wilson have been inextricably linked for the past decade.

Midway through last season, as the Seahawks struggled while Wilson was injured, Carroll said he wouldn’t have lasted as long as he has as head coach if it wasn’t for Wilson, who led 24 fourth-quarter comebacks and 32 game-winning drives during his time in Seattle.

“Let’s say it this way: I’ve been here a long time, and if we didn’t have Russell, I probably wouldn’t have been here a long time,” Carroll said. “We owe a tremendous amount.”

Brittney Griner’s impact is clear as WNBA fans await word from Russia From page 34 Jackson, Griner’s former high school coach, doubts the charges.

“It’s just hard to believe that Brittney, or any professional athlete that knows the laws of that country and the cultural differences and

norms and just the completely different political system, would even think about putting in their carry-on bag something that was a banned substance in that country,” she said.

Public demands by U.S. officials for the release of Americans detained abroad typically have little effect on foreign captors. Such cases are fre-

quently resolved through behind-the-scenes diplomacy, and the details may never become public.

Some analysts said that elevating the case into the political arena with angry demands could make it more difficult to resolve and put pressure on the other country to not be seen as giving in without a clear win.

Griner’s family and friends just want her home. Johnson, her former wife, posted a message of support on Instagram.

Cherelle Griner said on Instagram that this was “one of the weakest moments of my life.”

“My heart, our hearts, are all skipping beats every day that goes by,” she said.

Djokovic included in draw at Indian Wells despite his unclear vaccination status

By MATTHEW MPOKE BIGG

N

ovak Djokovic, one of the world’s most prominent sports stars to hold out against getting a coronavirus vaccination, was included in the field for this week’s Indian Wells tennis tournament in Southern California, even though there are doubts over whether he will be able to enter the United States and participate.

Djokovic was deported from Australia in January after immigration officials there ruled that he was a danger to society because they said he could energize the country’s anti-vaccination movement. He was thus unable to defend his Australian Open title, which he has won a record nine times.

Djokovic has expressed reluctance to be vaccinated against coronavirus, saying that he was not convinced by the science. He said the issue was more important to him than adding to the 20 Grand Slam tournaments he has won.

Djokovic told Australian border officials in January that

Novak Djokovic during his second round match at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis ATP Championships last month. he was unvaccinated, and in recent interviews has given no indication that his status has changed.

Djokovic’s name and picture appeared on a list of players in the main draw for the BNP Paribas Open, which started Wednesday at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Although not one of the sport’s four Grand Slams, the hardcourt event is considered one of the biggest tournaments in the world.

Djokovic, the tournament’s second seed, has a bye in the first round, so he is not scheduled to play until Saturday.

Grand jury appears set to weigh charges against Deshaun Watson

By JENNY VRENTAS and JULIET MACUR

N

early a year after allegations of sexual misconduct against Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson were first publicized, several women who filed criminal complaints against him have been subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury Friday, according to their lawyer, Tony Buzbee.

Ten women filed criminal complaints against Watson last year, accusing him of sexual misconduct during massage sessions, according to Houston police records. The complaints released to the public were heavily redacted but listed acts ranging from Watson exposing himself, touching therapists’ hands with his penis and ejaculating on them. Three of the complaints allege sexual assault or attempted sexual assault, defined in Texas as nonconsensual penetration. Prosecutors are expected to present at least some of these cases to the grand jury, which will decide if criminal charges will be brought against Watson.

Search warrants issued in October in connection with the Houston police investigation, seeking access to the social media and Cash App accounts police said Watson used to book and pay for massages, named indecent assault as the crime being investigated. Indecent assault is a class A misdemeanor in Texas, punishable by up to one year in jail and a maximum fine of $4,000, while sexual assault is a seconddegree felony.

Watson has denied any wrongdoing, and it is possible the grand jury will decide not to indict him for any crime.

Rusty Hardin, Watson’s lawyer, said Tuesday that he was “delighted” that the grand jury was going to meet because those matters have been looming over Watson for much too long

already. He’s hoping that the grand jury will make a decision about Watson on Friday.

“The free agency time is around the corner and we’ve wanted this decision to be made by then and it looks like they’re going to and I’m welcoming it,” Hardin said in a telephone interview.

There’s never been any crime here, no matter if you call it indecent assault or anything else,” he said. “These are civil matters that belong in the civil courts.”

The district attorney’s office for Harris County, which includes Houston, did not immediately return messages seeking comment.

The same day as grand jury proceedings appear set to begin, Watson will be questioned under oath for some of the 22 lawsuits against him, Buzbee said. Eight of the 10 women who filed criminal complaints also have a pending lawsuit, but Watson will not yet be deposed in those cases. Hardin sought to delay Watson’s deposition until after April 1. But a judge ruled last month that depositions of Watson could begin for nine of the civil cases in which the plaintiffs have already given their depositions and did not file criminal complaints.

Hardin said the deposition of Watson on Friday will be “a worthless exercise” because he will advise Watson to assert his Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself.

“We’re not going to answer questions until the grand jury is completed,” he said.

Ashley Solis, a 28-year-old licensed massage therapist, filed the first lawsuit against Watson last spring, saying that he purposely touched her hand with his erect and exposed penis during a March 30, 2020, massage appointment at her home. She filed a police report in early April 2021. Because

the statute of limitations for misdemeanor cases in Texas is two years from the date the offense took place, the deadline for bringing charges against Watson in connection with Solis’ case is the end of this month.

Of the 10 criminal complaints filed with Houston police, one has already passed the statute of limitations, an account of indecent assault from 2019. Another took place outside Harris County and would be in a different prosecutor’s jurisdiction.

Complainants who receive a subpoena don’t know if the prosecutor will be presenting their case to the grand jury or if they are being called in as a witness for other cases. Buzbee said he knew of at least six of his clients who received a subpoena.

Watson has not played in an NFL game since January 2021. He was eligible to play during the 2021 season but sat out as he sought a trade from the Texans.
