The individuals wanted are Sergei Shoigu, former Russian Defense Minister and current Secretary of the Russian Security Council, and Valery Gerasimov, the current Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces.

Kidney disease is a significant issue among Black Americans, who are more likely to develop kidney failure due to factors like diabetes and high blood pressure. Despite the higher need for transplants, Black Americans are less likely to receive them, and kidneys from Black donors are more likely to be discarded. This is due to a flawed system that considers all Black donor kidneys as more likely to fail after transplantation. The focus on race rather than genetic factors contributes to the waste of potentially usable kidneys, raising ethical concerns and perpetuating racial health disparities in organ transplantation.
