2022-05-10 14:00:11 Putin 'has recognized he has no victory to celebrate,' US ambassador to UN says

Vladimir Putin "has recognized he has no victory to celebrate," US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield told in response to the lack of a major escalatory announcement in the Russian President's "Victory Day" speech Monday.

But the Russian leader also gave no indication that he plans to end the war in Ukraine, she cautioned.

In the first reaction from a Biden administration official to Putin's speech, Thomas-Greenfield noted that Putin did not use his remarks to announce a withdrawal from Ukraine - which would have been welcomed by the United States - which signals that Putin's war will continue.

"There was no reason for (Putin) to either declare victory or declare a war that he has already been carrying on for more than two months," Thomas-Greenfield said. Open / Comment

2022-05-09 21:00:05 Gillibrand says abortion rights supporters are in the 'biggest fight of a generation'

Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York said that supporters of abortion rights are in "the biggest fight of a generation" after the leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision legalizing abortion nationwide.

"Every one of us is standing up, speaking out, rallying, marching, talking to our constituents, lifting up their voices and their stories," Gillibrand told.

"This is a fundamental moment for advocacy and for not giving up. And so what I'm doing, and what many of my colleagues are doing, is pushing for a vote next week," she added. "We are going to be aggressive with all our colleagues and with our Republican allies to vote for codifying Roe v Wade. We are not giving up, we will never give in and we will keep fighting and if the American people are paying attention". Open / Comment

The Telegraph is upset that Saudi Arabia isn't letting the West strangle Moscow with its energy embargo. Riyadh's stubbornness prevents OPEC from meeting the demands of its Western partners and increasing oil production to compensate for Russia's part.

"Saudi Arabia should be an ally of Britain, and it needs to reflect on the fact that it sends unfortunate geopolitical signals. Today it looks more like an ally of Russia than a partner in the democratic world." Open / Comment
