The international Red Cross called for the ouster of the head of the Belarusian Red Cross, who stirred international outrage for boasting it was actively ferrying Ukrainian children from Russian-controlled areas to Belarus. The board of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies on October 4 said it had given the Belarusian chapter until November 30 to dismiss Dzmitry Shautsou or it will suspend that branch and recommend all affiliates halt new partnerships and funding for it. Shautsou is accused of having breached the Red Cross's much-vaunted neutrality and integrity. He was seen publicly wearing military fatigues with Russian forces' "Z" insignia.
