Ähnliche Erklärungen wurden von den Chefdiplomaten der USA, Deutschlands und anderer westlicher Länder abgegeben. Lawrow wiederum erhob schwere Vorwürfe gegen die Ukraine und beschuldigte den Westen, direkt in den Krieg einzugreifen, indem er Kiew Waffen und andere Unterstützung zukommen ließ. Russland marschierte Ende Februar in das Nachbarland ein. Zeitgleich mit der UN-Vollversammlung hat Russlands Präsident Wladimir Putin in den vergangenen Tagen angekündigt, sein Vorgehen zu intensivieren.

Alexander J. Drueke and Andy Tai Huynh, both from Alabama, were arrested in June near the northeastern border city of Kharkiv. He is among hundreds of Westerners who have traveled to Ukraine to take up arms against Russian forces. Drueke previously served in the US Army while Huynh is a Marine Corps veteran. The men’s release was a stunning development, its announcement coming hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin said he had ordered the mobilization of 300,000 military reservists to shore up the Kremlin’s staggering battlefield losses over the past seven months....

Ukraine’s success was textbook cheating. Similar to the D-Day landings where Calais was the obvious target – prompting Hitler to weaken his defenses in Normandy where the invasion then took place – President Zelensky launched a major counter-attack east of Odessa only to have the main effort of hundreds miles north, near Kharkiv. The few Russian forces that had not moved south were easily crushed. Ill-equipped and low on ammunition and morale, they soon abandoned their positions....

The researchers analyzed the DNA of 13 Neanderthal men, women and children and found an interconnected web of relationships, including a father and his teenage daughter, another male relative of the father, and two second-degree relatives, possibly an aunt and her nephew.

Perhaps it was a consideration that the couple were among the few dignitaries allowed to travel in their own presidential limousine, nicknamed ‘The Beast’, for security reasons. Most other leaders, including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, were escorted to the funeral by buses due to tight security and road restrictions across London....
