Conflicto Rusia-Ucrania: Biden y Putin podrían reunirse
Biden anunciará sanciones contra regiones separatistas de Ucrania El presidente de Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, “pronto” firmará una orden ejecutiva con sanciones económicas para las autoproclamadas repúblicas separatistas de Donetsk y Lugansk, en el este de Ucrania, informó este lunes en un comunicado la portavoz de la Casa Blanca, Jen Psaki La orden ejecutiva prohibirá nuevas inversiones, comercio y otras transacciones económicas por parte de instituciones y ciudadanos estadounidenses en Donetsk y Lugansk, indicó Psaki. El presidente ruso, Vladímir Putin, reconoció este lunes la independencia de esas dos repúblicas separatistas, en lo que supone una escalada a la tensión que ha rodeado Ucrania desde hace semanas.
Letonia tomará “medidas más energéticas” ante apoyo ruso a separatistas de Ucrania El presidente de Letonia, Egils Levits; el primer ministro del país, Krisjanis Karins, así como la presidenta de su Parlamento, Ināra Muizniece, instaron hoy a adoptar “las medidas más enérgicas” posibles tras la decisión de Rusia de reconocer las autoproclamadas repúblicas separatistas de Ucrania. La decisión del presidente Vladímir Putin es “un nuevo ataque contra la independencia, la soberanía y la integridad territorial de Ucrania”, tras la anexión de Crimea de 2014, que pretende cambiar ilegalmente las fronteras de Europea, afirmaron, en un comunicado conjunto. El reconocimiento de estas repúblicas separatistas es “una violación del derecho internacional”, fundamentado en “razones inventadas” y desinformación, con lo que Rusia trata de “cambiar el curso político” de Ucrania. El presidente, el jefe del Gobierno y la presidenta del Parlamento de la república báltica instan por tanto a la comunidad internacional a “tomar las medidas más enérgicas posibles” para detener la agresión rusa y apoyar a Ucrania.

17-year-old dies after being injured during brawl involving Katy ISD students, sheriff says
KATY, Texas — A 17-year-old has died from the injuries he sustained a week ago during a fight at a park in the Katy area, according to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.Gonzalez said Marlon Robinson died Sunday at a hospital.
A charge filed against a juvenile in connection with the fight has been upgraded to murder, the sheriff said.
The teen was among the seven people who were injured on Feb. 14 during a fight at Beckendorff Park in the 1800 block of Katyland Drive just after 3 p.m., according to Harris County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer Thomas Gilliland. He said anywhere from 11 to 18 people were involved in the fight.
Authorities initially said the fight began over two girls, but later said they weren’t sure what started it.
“It’s not like these things happen every day,” Gilliland said.
Authorities said two of the victims were stabbed and taken to hospitals via Life Flight. Officials said they believe one of the stabbing victims was 18 years old and the other appeared to be a juvenile. Both were in critical condition at the time. Two other teens were stabbed and are expected to be OK.
Authorities said the suspect was taken into custody and was also taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Two others were taken to area hospitals via ambulance. One of them was also considered a suspect, according to Gilliland.
Here’s a list of the victims, according to authorities:
- Male, 18, stabbed, non-life-threatening
- Male, 17, stabbed, life-threatening, stable
- Male, age unknown, stabbed, non-life-threatening
- Male, 16, stabbed, life-threatening, stable
- Male, age unknown, blunt force trauma
- Male, 19, contusions and blunt force trauma
- Male, 16, contusion, blunt force trauma
According to Precinct 5 authorities, the fight started at Paetow High School and ended at the park. It’s unclear if all of the people involved in the fight go to Paetow HS.
Authorities said at least one knife was found at the scene.

Mother and her boyfriend indicted for capital murder in death of 8-year-old boy who sold muffins to help his family
A Houston couple has been indicted for capital murder in the death of an 8-year-old boy who died in a motel room bathtub after being severely beaten, handcuffed, and bound with duct tape in March 2021, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg announced Friday.
“The way this little boy died is almost unthinkable and absolutely horrifying” Ogg said. “We believe he was handcuffed, bound at the ankles and legs with ligatures and duct-tape, had his mouth taped shut and was beaten so severely that he either died from blunt force trauma or suffocated on the blood from his broken teeth.”
The attack was carried out by the boy’s mother and her boyfriend, Ogg said.
Mother, Kayla Holzendorf, 25, and her boyfriend, Dominique Lewis, 29, were indicted Thursday by a Harris County grand jury for the incident on March 23, 2021.
The couple called 911 to say that Keyontae Holzendorf, 8, had drowned in the bathtub at the motel where they lived.
First responders with the Houston Police and Houston Fire departments arrived to find the boy was wet and there was steam was in bathroom, according to court records. Lewis had water on his clothes.
Emergency Medical Technicians performed CPR and the boy was transported to Texas Children’s Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He had numerous new and old injuries on his body, including severe ligature marks on his ankles and wrists (from handcuffs), broken teeth, and large pieces of skin missing from his thigh, chest, upper arms, and genitalia, consistent with duct tape being ripped off frantically, according to court records.
The couple told police that the boy had not been to school in a year and a half and didn’t have any friends. Instead, they said, he spends his time with them and they begin their days by buying a large package of muffins from HEB, putting those muffins in a basket and then having the boy sell the muffins in the parking lot of Kroger by saying that his mom baked them.
“This is obvious child torture, and the evidence is clear that the defendants acted intentionally; it was capital murder,” said Assistant District Attorney Gilbert Sawtelle, who is prosecuting the case and is a chief in the DA’s child fatality division.
If convicted of capital murder for killing a child under the age of 10, both could face the death penalty or life in prison without the parole.
Decisions about whether to seek the death penalty are generally made by a committee of senior prosecutors months after a defendant has been charged.
The case was investigated by the Houston Police Department.
