Ukraine’s Zelensky facing US political deadlock over aid | BBC News

Published

on



Volodymyr Zelensky’s third visit to Washington on Tuesday was a last-ditch effort to win new military aid from Congress before the currently approved amount runs dry.

When Mr Zelensky came to Washington last year, the US approved a $50bn aid package that helped fuel Ukraine’s efforts to regain territory ceded at the outset of the Russian invasion.

This time around was different.

After meeting with Mr Zelensky on Tuesday morning, Republican senators were clear that, while they sympathised with Ukraine’s plight, they view the situation at the US border as a more pressing national security concern.

    Speaker Mike Johnson: "These are the conditions of the American People."
    No, they're not. The overwhelming majority of the American People support providing further aid to Ukraine. It is the conditions of the Putin government that you are enforcing, you treasonous bigot!

    Because ukarine keeps making up excuses to cotinue the war knowing full well they have no strategy , with no air superiority, with no people, with no equipment and finances. I have came to a conclusion that they are lying and need the money for other reasons.

    I have no idea why most people glorify President Zelenskyy it’s not like he’s anything special he’s not some kind of God some kind of hero he’s just a president that’s it and I don’t do that. He’s a shit president for God sake he’s also drug taker. And I have no idea why he’s saying that he will win the war in less than a year even though it’s more than two years. Now he’s pissed off that because of the war between Israel and Palestine the attention is not on Ukraine anymore

    The international news shows how clearly the West continues to support Ukrainians vying for independence. The Russians should stop meddling in their domestic affairs and allow Kyiv to vote freely according to conscience. We support America and Ukraine in struggle freedom in the Eastern Front.

PC Andrew Harper’s killers to stay in jail | BBC News Exclusive

Published

on



Prime Minister Andy Burnham has told the BBC that PC Andrew Harper’s killers will remain behind bars as he announces changes to the early release scheme aimed at easing prison overcrowding. 

In an exclusive interview with BBC Breakfast, Burnham said anyone convicted of manslaughter will be excluded from changes brought in under the Sentencing Act, which would have made the killers eligible for early release. 

Burnham said extra prison spaces would be created by deporting “hundreds” of foreign prisoners and releasing some inmates serving indefinite sentences.

At least 27 dead and hundreds evacuated after strike on Kyiv warehouse | BBC News

Published

on



Twenty-seven people have been killed and almost 400 evacuated after a Russian strike hit a warehouse near Kyiv, triggering a fire and a series of explosions.

Regional governor Tymur Tkachenko said a further 42 people, including four children, were injured after the Russian drone strike in the Bucha district.

An investigation has been launched into whether ammunition was being stored at the site, where search and rescue operations were ongoing early on Saturday.

Russia’s Ministry of Defence said in a statement that its forces had targeted “an ammunition depot” in the Kyiv region village of Myla, which stores “components and launch boosters for FP-1/FP-2 long-range unmanned aerial vehicles”.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his condolences to the families of the victims of the strike, saying that more than 300 emergency respondents had been deployed to the strike area.
