That's "old news" in some regards, the CCP has long kept tabs on their citizens living abroad, they technically can't do much in the other countries but they are known for putting pressure on family members still in China and also grabbing you if you ever come back. They used to do this through Party cadres who would "unofficially make suggestions" but this seems to be just an officialization of what has long been practice by the CCP.

There's been a number of instances of the Chinese police showing up at family members (in China) and having them call someone living in the West making critical comments of CCP/Xi/etc. on Twitter and then telling them about all the bad things that are going to happen if they don't stop. I would assume the creation of these is so they can start doing that in person.

Apparently the "retreat" was very messy and Ukraine is afraid their soldiers might be traumatized because of the number of dead and wounded they encountered on the roads leading to and from Lyman.
Some described it as a slaughter.

An 'epidemic of murder': Are Russia's millionaires dying to fund Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine?

Quote

Russia's elite businessmen seem to have a problem. They keep dying in more and more suspicious circumstances.

The latest was Anatoly Gerashchenko, the former head of the Moscow Aviation Institute, who died late last month after reportedly falling down a flight of stairs.

A few weeks before him Ravil Maganov, the chairman of major Russian oil company, Lukoil, died after falling out of a hospital window.

In May another top Lukoil manager, Alexander Subbotin, was found dead near Moscow after reportedly visiting a shaman.

In all there's been about 15 high profile Russian businessmen who've died in mysterious ways since the start of the year.

Most of them are officially recorded as suicides but those familiar with Russia's business world see it differently.

US businessman and campaigner against Russian human rights violations Bill Browder believes the deaths were ordered by the Kremlin.

He suspects the deaths demonstrate President Putin's desperation to fund his war in Ukraine.

Bolsonaro now at 48%, Lula at 43% with 20% in.
I'm reading mostly pro-Bolsonaro regions have been counted.

Exit poll has it at 36% for Bolso and 51% for Lula.

At 70% in Lula finally takes the lead but it looks we're headed for a run off.
