Last winter, a Ukrainian mother received the call she had been waiting for: her daughter, taken across the border to Russia months earlier, was finally coming home. When they embraced, the girl hugged tightly, afraid she might be pulled away again. She hardly spoke, afraid to use the Ukrainian language after being forced to speak only Russian.That reunion was a miracle for this mother, but thousands and thousands of parents are still waiting. Just 1,600 abducted children have returned home.In the three and a half years since Russian President Vladimir Putins unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, Russia has kidnapped an estimated 20,000 Ukrainian children. The real number is likely much higher, because Russia has targeted orphanages and vulnerable kids who may not be identified. Its also difficult to trace everyone in the midst of war and occupation. Russia itself claims over 700,000 children have been so-called "evacuated."UKRAINES STOLEN CHILDREN CRISIS LOOMS LARGE AS NATO MEETS ON RUSSIAS WARThe more time that goes by, the harder it will be to find these kids. Their names and origins are being obscured. Their faces and voices change as they grow up, making them harder to identify. Some are so young they may entirely forget where they came from.A new report from Yale Universitys Humanitarian Research Lab makes clear just how systematic this program has become. Researchers have identified at least 210 facilities where Ukrainian children have been held across Russia and occupied Ukraine from summer camps and sanatoriums to cadet schools, a monastery and even a military base. At more than 130 of these sites, children undergo forced "re-education" programs designed to erase their Ukrainian identity and instill loyalty to Russia. And at nearly 40 locations, children are subjected to military-style training, including grenade-throwing, weapons assembly and drone operation.Disturbingly, this Yale report confirms that Putins government directly manages more than half of these facilities. Russias actions are right out of the KGBs playbook, when the Soviets deported tens of thousands of women and children from the occupied Baltic countries in the 1940s and all native Crimean Tatars from the Crimean Peninsula.Today, these abducted children are given new names, forced into Russian citizenship and adopted into Russian families without consent. They are told to forget their language, their culture and their parents. Those who make it home carry invisible scars: disrupted education, broken trust and a trauma that can last a lifetime.We cannot accept a world where kids are being abducted during war and we cannot allow children to be used as a form of hostage-taking for negotiations. Protecting children in conflict isnt optional. Its our humanitarian obligation and its a legal requirement under international law.Allowing these abductions to stand emboldens future aggressors, undermines international norms and betrays Americas most basic values.Thats why we worked across the aisle to convene a bipartisan coalition of senators to introduce a resolution in May condemning Russias actions. Our measure also calls for the unconditional return of abducted Ukrainian children before any peace agreement is signed.The resolution has earned endorsements from faith-based, child protection and human rights organizations, showing that Americans of all backgrounds understand these childrens basic rights.Our work to support these kids shows how both parties can come together to speak in one clear voice. We believe this unity tells parents in Ukraine and all over the globe, that America stands with them when their children are in danger. After discussing the issue with EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, President Donald Trump was right to say that "it is a subject at the top of all lists" and that we must work to solve it.Alongside the resolution, we introduced the bipartisan Abducted Ukrainian Children Recovery and Accountability Act. This bill does three key things.First, it enhances support for Ukraines efforts to investigate and track the abducted children.Second, it helps those children who do make it back home and need psychological, social and educational support during that difficult transition.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThird, it reinforces efforts to hold those who commit these crimes accountable, including through sanctions that are aligned with our allies. Ukraines prosecutors have opened tens of thousands of war crimes cases, and they need sustained support from us and our allies.No peace can be just and no agreement credible until every child is safely returned. As First Lady Melania Trump wrote in her letter to Putin ahead of the Alaska Summit: "it is time" to end these childrens suffering.Its unacceptable that these kids are being treated like prisoners of war used for Putins propaganda and forced to do military training and join the ranks of Russias army. They must not become pawns used in any negotiations.The mother who was reunited with her daughter was one of the lucky few. Tens of thousands of other parents are still waiting for that same call, for the day they can wrap their arms around their children again. Until then, the world must not look away.Republican Chuck Grassley represents Iowa in the United States Senate.

Jayden Daniels isn't expected to miss much time, if any, but he may not look like his usual self right away.Fresh off an Offensive Rookie of the Year campaign, Daniels is dealing with a sprain in his knee that Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said will keep him out of practice until Friday.The Commanders split each of their first two games, handling the New York Giants 21-6 in Week 1 before the Green Bay Packers took care of business with a 27-18 victory three days later.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMWhile the Philadelphia Eagles remain the favorite to win the NFC East, the Commanders should be in the mix as long as Daniels is healthy.However, Tom Christ, a doctor of physical therapy and founder of Fantasy Injury Team, said that Daniels' injury could show on the stat sheet, even if he's on the field."So, Daniels is really interesting. They are just vaguely labeling it a sprain, not telling us what tissue is sprained. If you watch the video, he lands on his shin with his knee nearly fully flexed, which is a common way to get a PCL injury, and by their terminology, it probably is Grade 1, which is not terrible at all. You can rehab that and return to play," Christ said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital."But what we see historically is the first couple games, the athlete looks a little bit slow, a little bit hesitant to cut off that knee and a little bit unstable. Daniels is obviously a massive rushing threat, so I would be surprised if he has the same stat-line running the ball and the same effect running the ball the first couple games after he plays. Good news is it's his left knee, so it's not going to affect his ability to push off his right leg to throw the ball. So, can still be effective, but probably not quite as effective on the ground."DOCTOR OF PHYSICAL THERAPY EXPLAINS WHAT TURF TOE ACTUALLY IS, WHY IT MAY COST JOE BURROW REST OF THE SEASONDaniels rushed for 891 yards, the ninth-most ever by a quarterback and the most by a rookie QB.As for Minnesota Vikings starter J.J. McCarthy, his first year as a starter is not off to an ideal start. After missing his rookie season with a torn meniscus, he is now dealing with an ankle sprain.He, too, may still deal with some lingering effects."The time frame of two-to-four weeks is pretty consistent with a Grade 2 high-ankle sprain, where there is some, what we call, tissue laxity or instability in the ankle," Christ said. "That should be able to get under control, but what can happen there, especially with it being his right ankle, is it can be just a little less firm when he pushes off to throw the ball. So we'll see how long he's actually out for."I believe they have a bye week somewhere in there (Week 6), so a lot of people are speculating he may not return till after that, which, if that's the case, he should be fine by that point, but if they do try to really speed things up, and it's more like a two-week absence, he may have some issues pushing off that back leg initially when he's throwing."Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Former women's tennis star Martina Navratilova fired off a series of social media posts on Wednesday seemingly in response to news that Disney pulled talk show host Jimmy Kimmel off the air after he made controversial comments about Charlie Kirk's assassination.Navratilova is known as a highly outspoken liberal as a former athlete. She expressed objection to Disney's removal of Kimmel from his show, in a series of X posts.Navratilova also re-shared a handful of X posts referencing the situation involving Kimmel.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMOn Monday, Kimmel accused conservatives of reaching "new lows" in trying to pin a left-wing ideology on 22-year-old suspect Tyler Robinson, even though prosecutors reaffirmed those ties in Tuesdays indictment."We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," Kimmel said.Kimmels comments came one day after both FBI officials and Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said that Robinson held a "leftist ideology" and was increasingly radicalized in recent years. It was also revealed that he had a romantic relationship with a transgender partner who was biologically male and transitioning to female.Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr then issued a threat against Disney if it didn't address the controversy.FCC CHAIR LEVELS THREAT AGAINST ABC, DISNEY AFTER KIMMEL SUGGESTED CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSIN WAS MAGAAppearing on Wednesday's "The Benny Show," Carr called Kimmel's comments "some of the sickest conduct" and suggested there were potential "avenues" the FCC could pursue."In some quarters, there's a very concerted effort to try to lie to the American people about the nature of one of the most significant newsworthy public interest acts that we've seen in a long time in what appears to be an action by Jimmy Kimmel to play into that narrative that this was somehow a MAGA or a Republican-motivated person," Carr told host Benny Johnson.Nexstar Media Group, which owns hundreds of television stations, announced earlier it would preempt Kimmel's show on its ABC affiliates starting Wednesday night "for the foreseeable future" and would replace it with other programming over his comments about alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson.News of Kimmel's removal from air was then confirmed by Disney later on Wednesday night."Jimmy Kimmel Live will be pre-empted indefinitely," a Disney spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Digital.Fox News Digital's Joseph A.

President Donald Trumps long-standing admiration for the British royal family goes back decades.On Wednesday, the 79-year-old president and first lady Melania Trump were greeted by Prince William and Kate Middleton, along with military honor guards and mounted troops at Windsor Castle.

Former Vice President Al Gore accused President Donald Trump in a new interview of launching a "jihad" against the renewable energy transition.In an interview with Axios, Gore said Trump was more "loaded for bear this time around" in his opposition to clean energy compared to his first presidential term. He added that outside forces pushing back against Trump have also grown stronger, particularly outside the U.S."If you look at it on a global basis, we get a distortion field here in the U.S. now with Trump's jihad against the sustainability transition," Gore said. It's unclear when Gore made the remarks but Axios published the comments on Wednesday.REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK: CONGRESS FAILS TO LOWER POLITICAL TEMPERATURE AFTER CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATIONGores published use of the word "jihad" comes after Turning Point USA founder and conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated last week. Kirks death reignited conversations over the role political rhetoric plays in violence and motivated calls to "turn the temperature down" in politics by leaders like House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.Gore is no stranger to using controversial rhetoric against his political opponents. In April, he compared the Trump administration to Nazi Germany."I understand very well why it is wrong to compare Adolf Hitlers Third Reich to any other movement," Gore said.

A millennia-old helmet that saw ancient Rome's first great Mediterranean war was recently unearthed in Italy.The find was announced by the Sicilian regional government in a Sept. 5 announcement. In a translated version of the statement, officials said the helmet was found off the waters of the Aegates Islands last August."Among the artifacts brought to the surface, one stands out in particular: a bronze helmet of the Montefortino type, in extraordinary condition and complete with cheek guards," the release noted.ELITE ROMAN FAMILY'S ANCIENT TREASURE UNEARTHED IN RUINS OF FIRE-SCORCHED DWELLINGDivers found the helmet near where the Battle of the Aegates took place in 241 B.C.The battle, which effectively ended the First Punic War, was fought between Rome and Carthage.Francesco Paolo Scarpinato, regional councilor for Cultural Heritage and Sicilian Identity, said the helmet is "one of the most beautiful and complete ever recovered."ITALIAN ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNVEIL RARE 2,600-YEAR-OLD TOMB UNTOUCHED BY LOOTERS: 'DOORWAY TO OUR ANCESTORS'He went on, "These discoveries not only enrich historical knowledge of the 241 B.C. battle, but also strengthen the image of our island as the guardian of a cultural heritage unique in the world."Archaeologists also found 30 "heavily encrusted artifacts."

Alleged killers Tyler Robinson and Luigi Mangione appeared in court this week on murder charges, drawing not only headlines but a surprising wave of public support. The sympathy is raising questions about why some Americans are willing to justify violence."The terrorists and the assassins and the murderers now have this growing number of people who seem frankly, as I wrote in The Post the other day, to treat life as if it's some kind of computer game," said Douglas Murray, a New York Post contributor on "Americas Newsroom"."As though you just take people out and there's no consequences."Mangione appeared in a Manhattan courtroom Tuesday on charges related to the December killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. He faces multiple state and federal charges, though some of the top counts against him were dropped.APPARENT LUIGI MANGIONE SUPPORTER CLAIMS SHE'S 'MARRIED' TO HIS 'AI' AT COURTHOUSE RALLYVideo from outside the courthouse showed Mangiones supporters cheering after the decision.Murray said that while killers in the past sometimes attracted fringe sympathies, whats different today is the chorus of "excuses" now being made by both ordinary Americans and prominent politicians."So many people have made excuses for him when it's really a very straightforward case. Do people have the right, or should they be justified, in taking things into their own hands and murdering other Americans in cold blood on the street? Yes or no?"LUIGI MANGIONE FACES JUDGE AS POLICE WARN BUSINESS LEADERS OF RISING ASSASSINATION RISKSHe added that even political figures have made those excuses, pointing to Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warrens comments on Mangiones supporters. She told the Huffington Post: "Violence is never the answer, but people can only be pushed so far."Murray also linked the reaction to Mangiones case with support Robinson has drawn since the death of political activist Charlie Kirk last week. Like Thompson, Kirk was a husband and father who was shot and killed."As if a legitimate extension of having a disagreement or an imagined disagreement with somebody over healthcare, over politics, whatever, could ever justify somebody picking up a gun and murdering," said Murray.FLASHBACK: CHARLIE KIRK WARNED OF LEFT-WING 'ASSASSINATION CULTURE' MONTHS BEFORE HIS MURDERHe argued this shift reflects a broader culture of dehumanization accelerated by social media."We have to address this thing of why so many segments of the political left have been able to dehumanize their opponents," he said."We also have to address this question of why so many people, including some prominent politicians in this country, have made excuses for the use of violence."President Donald Trump has made similar comments in the wake of Kirks death, calling out the role social media plays in radicalizing people. He told reporters that there are "deep, dark holes" online he considers "cancerous."Murray agreed that addressing the online environment is critical."It means that the faceless person online can get away with making their opponent faceless as well, and taking away their life for nothing and no reason."
