Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky cancels US Senate briefing amid funding row – BBC News
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called off a high-profile briefing with US lawmakers amid an impasse over future US funding for the country.
Virtual appearances in the Senate and House had been scheduled for Tuesday, but were cancelled at the last moment.
It came after a top Ukrainian official warned they are in danger of losing the war against Russia if more US military aid is not approved.
Senate leader Chuck Schumer did not explain why Mr Zelensky was a no-show.

A Kenyan judge has started to deliver a verdict in a mass murder case involving doomsday preacher Paul Mackenzie.
Mackenzie and 29 of his followers are being charged with the murder of 191 people, all but one of them children.
His cult is alleged to have forced children to starve to death so that they could “meet Jesus”.
Mackenzie and the 29 others have all pleaded not guilty to murder, repeatedly insisting that nobody was forced to die.

America’s pain at the pump could have major implications for the future of the war in Ukraine.
US President Donald Trump wants to bring down fuel prices for Americans. One way he’s trying to do it is by reopening the door to Russian energy, reversing a policy designed to deprive Russian President Vladimir Putin of money for his war in Ukraine.
The shift comes as relations between Trump and Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky have deteriorated dramatically. Trump has blamed Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries for contributing to the global diesel shortage, while Ukraine says those refineries are a crucial source of revenue for Russia’s war machine.
So, is American angst about fuel prices changing Trump’s approach to the war? And would importing Russian diesel even make a meaningful difference to US prices?
The Global Story’s Tristan Redman speaks to BBC Verify’s Ben Chu about the fuel crisis drawing together Trump, Putin, Zelensky and the American midterm elections.

Yemen’s Houthis have warned aviation firms and passengers against using Saudi airports and airspace, after 12 people were killed in an attack on the international airport in Riyadh.
More than 300 were injured in Saturday’s attack on King Khalid International Airport in Saudi Arabia.
The Houthi statement on Sunday did not directly refer to Saturday’s attack, but previously did say they were behind separate strikes on the same airport on Thursday.
Four Saudis, two people from Bangladesh and one person each from the US, Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Sudan and Egypt were killed, the Saudi civil aviation authority said.

Police in London need to move away from criminalising women involved in street sex work in the wake of the disastrous murder case of Simon Levy, officers have told the BBC.
Levy, a convicted sex offender, was left to kill two women and rape another – all of whom were vulnerable and sometimes engaged in street sex work – due to a series of failings, including by the Metropolitan Police.
The BBC was given access to the Met’s new two-officer female team in north London, created in a bid to engage with street sex workers, improve trust, and encourage them to report crimes committed against them.
The team described hearing about endemic levels of male violence against the women they have met.

The BBC does understand that there's more than ONE POLITICAL PARTY AND ONE VIEWPOINT IN THE US RIGHT? They're as annoying as CNN and MSNBC in their lopsided covers and analysis of US politics. They keep bringing these pinhead, leftist academics on their programs, to try to explain a complicated US political environment – but it's always from the Left's view of things! That's very disingenuous to the viewers. The US politicians have to ultimately answer to the voters – there are no Kings or Queens in the US – that's our money being used and many are growing weary of propping up European defense. It's time for Europe to stop bragging about "free healthcare and being able to find the US on a map", and start funding their militaries. IF 26 EUROPEAN COUNTRIES CAN'T BAIL OUT OR PROTECT ONE – THEN "HOUSTON,VWE HAVE A PROBLEM…".🤔🧐🤨🙄

We should have made an arrangement with Russia before giving so much to Ukraine.
But then Biden made a deal to launder money with Ukraine when Biden was VP.
Zelensky wants the US to
GIVE HIM MONEY and
back his ego fully to win against Russia.
The US should have allowed Russia the land they wanted and not bet on the losers.

Zelensky is not Ukrainian. He is a brilliant actor. He is the only beneficiary of the war, and will emerge from it the richest man in the world. Today he owns the most luxurious yachts and the most expensive real estate, and the stupid Ukrainian people are fighting the motherland and fighting a people of the same origin😢

well america has no obligation to fund ukraine but look at it in this way if russia wins all there nukes will be stationed in ukraine then russia will go on to take other countrys then all of europe and the states will be a target for russias nukes and the outcome will be a nucliar war thats for sure so at the end of the day would financial help from america be beneficial rather then a third world war.

please explain to me:
1. Every year America, under the auspices of NATO, places more and more military bases with nuclear warheads near the borders of Russia directly on the territory of European countries – why?
(by the way, in the event of a global conflict, the missile defense systems and launchers located as close as possible will be the first to be destroyed – this is obvious – why Europe needs this is unclear.)
2. Russia (USSR) lived in isolation for 70 years and was self-sufficient, do you really think that it could suffer from sanctions? 🙂 – America and Britain were forced to impose sanctions, but ordinary people and businesses in Europe suffer first of all. (for example, the Uniliver company continues its business in Russia, but where are the European companies? Why did they suffer losses? Well, that’s your European business – Russia will handle it)
3. Russia has not lost a single war in its entire history – do you really want to test this thesis with the whole of Europe? Russia doesn’t want war – we don’t need to prove to anyone that we know how to fight – just study history.

As expected, the International Communities had all the while knew that Zelensky wasn't keen about the Ukraine War and had been siphoning $trillions of financial aids to built resorts apartments in some 🎉countries. The US was the main culprit to spearhead financial aids to Zelensky towards the war against Russia as well coercing the EU and NATO to join the US to continuously providing financial aids to Zelensky as long as requested by Zelensky. Britain (Sunak) was the first to follow suit to the US in pledging financial assistance to Zelensky at the expense of neglecting the British people dire domestic need for more Financial Assistance to fight inflation.
Now, he has the "cheek" to even goes right up to the US to seek for continuous financial assistance to finance his real estates and luxurious properties. He had ea😅rlier sack some of his generals as they knew too much about Zelensky's corruption 😂and those stayed back were the corrupted ones.

To think this man Zelensky is responsible for the killing of thousands of Ukrainians, yet with the propaganda and the money making from arms, he continues to get aid to kill more Ukrainians who requested a referendum long before Russian entered Ukraine. He is basically another Hitler, Hitler did exactly the same to get support to kill people. But it's Christmas, the West does not care, they just want to be able to afford their energy bills and food bills to pig out while innocent people are being killed by Zelensky, their families won't be having a happy Christmas.

Zelensky finally realised that nothing is for free nor there be God Father constantly providing financial aids at the expense of neglecting their own countries dire domestic needs.

How much money is zelenskij asking for this time to be given and spent? The sum could buy you 500000 ferraris at 100000 GBP. If you line the cars up, one after the other, they will cover a distance of 2250 kilometers. Just for the record, the New York – Havana flight is 2105km
