2022-04-22 14:56:00 The Ukrainian Armed Forces will strike the Crimean bridge at the first opportunity - National Security and Defence Council Secretary Danilov

Ukraine intends to shell the Crimean bridge, through which the Russian Federation moves its army reinforcements to the peninsula. Speaking to reporters, Alexei Danilov threatened that such a possibility is being actively worked out by the Ukrainian armed forces.

"If we had the ability, we would have done it already. As soon as there is an opportunity to do so, we will definitely do it," Danilov said.

At the same time, the secretary of the National Security and Defense Council could not specify whether Ukraine has weapons, which will allow the country to attack the bridge, and whether they will appear in the future. Open / Comment

2022-04-22 14:08:00 Biden announces millions in new aid and a ban on Russian-affiliated ships

President Biden on Thursday announced a ban on Russian-affiliated ships from U.S. ports and said he would send $800 million more in military resources to help Ukrainian forces — a package that includes heavy artillery and tactical drones. Biden also announced the United States would provide an additional $500 million in direct economic assistance to the Ukrainian government.

Biden described the help as the “latest steps we’re taking to support the people of Ukraine and to hold Putin accountable for his brutal and bloody war.”

The latest announcement comes amid what Biden called a “critical window” as Russia prepares for a next phase of war. Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier called his country’s military offensive in the key port city of Mariupol a success, and said he ordered his forces not to storm the plant where pro-Ukrainian troops are stationed and where civilians have sought shelter.

2022-04-21 21:02:01 The most interesting Republican primaries of 2022

Ohio: This might be the year’s most contentious primary. Here in Ohio, a state Trump won twice, Republicans can grab a rare open Senate seat. For months, the former president stayed out of the primary and watched as the candidates tried to out-Trump each other with controversial statements.

Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania, as a swing state, could determine which party controls the Senate next year — and Trump made another endorsement unpopular with his party when he backed TV doctor Mehmet Oz for its open seat.

Georgia governor and secretary of state: In Georgia, Trump is focused on proving that the Republican Party supports his false claims of election fraud. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) refused to help Trump overturn his 2020 loss in the state, so Trump endorsed Kemp’s challenger, former Republican senator David Perdue. Open / Comment

2022-04-21 16:45:00 Help from Western allies to Ukraine may be too little and too late

More weapons. More money. More sanctions. More commitments to security guarantees.

Promises of more support came after a video conference of allied leaders convened by U.S. President Joe Biden. In essence, however, these promises were basically a retelling of assistance previously promised to Ukraine, with only vague offers of new assistance, increasing the risk that Ukrainian troops will find themselves without ammunition and weapons at a potentially crucial time of war.

2022-04-21 14:02:13 Biden's urgent moves on gas prices run counter to lofty climate goals

President Biden triumphantly took office by joining the Paris Climate Accord. He created powerful new climate positions, including one for former Secretary of State John F. Kerry. He reversed Trump-era policies by revoking the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline. And he declared the threat of climate change "the number one problem facing humanity."

But in the past few weeks, he has authorized a historically large release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, renewed the sale of drilling leases on federal land, and announced that he is abandoning environmental restrictions allowing summer sales of ethanol-based gasoline. anathema to climate activists.
