The need "playing radio" is what ruins a lot of emergency response groups. Radio becomes more important than dealing with the emergency. I remember the angry reaction of some of my #ARES teammates that the #redcross might require them to unload a truck and not play with their radios.
@TheBreadmonkey True, but it does remind me of donating plasma again. #redcross

I'd like to know why the #RedCross isn't demanding to visit these detention centers/concentration camps.

It appears that the German Red Cross not only has an account in the Fediverse, they have an *instance*!

Really wish the American Red Cross would do that. (And that the Germans would be a little more active.)

Are there any others here? Please introduce yourselves!

Russia’s new law protects the Red Cross name, but enforcing it in occupied Ukraine would expose the very ties Moscow denies.

Russia’s new law protects the Red Cross name, but enforcing it in occupied Ukraine would expose the very ties Moscow denies

The Russian Red Cross (RRC) has long denied allegations of operating in occupied Ukraine, despite mounting evidence to the contrary. In a 2024 investigation, Meduza and its partners in the Kremlin Leaks project revealed how the RRC had been working beyond Russia’s borders, in clear violation of the Red Cross movement’s rules. Our follow-up investigation revealed that the RRC expanded its operations in Ukraine’s occupied territories while receiving millions of euros in international funding. Now, Russia has enacted a new law governing the Russian Red Cross, but what this means for the organization and its operations remains unclear. Meduza asks and answers key questions about the legislation.
