Russians defend fostering Ukrainian children as Kyiv slams Moscow's 'kidnappings' Deep in Siberia, five young half-siblings from Moscow-controlled eastern Ukraine are adapting to their snowy new surroundings. Their foster parents Roman and Yekaterina Vinogradov, who are now raising 16 children, say the four girls and boy were relocated via Moscow from children's homes in the city of Lugansk, which has been controlled by Russian-backed separatists since 2014. "What I see is that they were in need," says Roman Vinogradov, insisting they "didn't steal anyone." But Ukraine says more than 16,000 of its children have been forcibly transferred to Russia -- and President Vladimir Putin is now under an international arrest warrant for allegedly unlawfully deporting Ukrainian children, a war crime.

A tense moment on the House of Representatives floor resulted in a Republican member physically lunging at another who then had to be restrained from further escalation.
The scuffle happened between Reps-elect Mike Rogers, R-Ala., and Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., after the 14th House speaker vote failed.
Gaetz was discussing with Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., the possibility of backing him in the next vote and appeared to mouth the word "committee."
Gaetz is currently on the House Armed Services Committee, which is chaired by Rogers.

McCarthy appeared to agree and returned to his seat. Rogers, having witnessed the interaction, then walked up to Gaetz’s row and made a move toward him.
Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C., intervened and physically restrained Rogers, pulling him back by his shoulders in full view of C-SPAN’s cameras.

Rogers could then be seen appearing to yell: "I won’t forget this!"
Fox News reached out to both Rogers and Gaetz's offices for comment, but a response was not immediately received.
