The French government is strongly denying a claim by President Vladimir Putin’s spy chief that Paris is preparing to send at least 2,000 combat troops to Ukraine to help Kyiv in its war against Russian invaders. The accusation fuels a debate in Europe sparked when French President Emmanuel Macron recently said Western nations should drop […]
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has bowed to pressure from Senate Republicans and will send a Ukraine aid package to the Senate soon. The aid bill will not resemble the $95 billion aid package the Senate passed in February. Instead, it will probably be in the form of loans or lend-lease structure to make it […]
Back in December, the Pentagon announced that they had burned through all of the money designated to supply military aid to Ukraine, so future shipments would have to wait until Congress appropriated more funds. That hasn’t happened because the House GOP is insisting that Joe Biden fix our borders before we blow even more cash […]
This weekend, we discussed Pope Francis’ comments about Ukraine demonstrating “the courage of the white flag” and negotiating with Russia to end the war. At the time, I predicted that Ukrainian President Zelensky would be unimpressed with the remarks and reject them. That response took almost no time at all, though Ukraine trotted out some […]
Friday was another not-so-great day for the Commander-in-Chief as he struggled to deliver remarks to the press regarding food aid for Gaza. Joe Biden was hosting Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for an official state visit in the Oval Office when his staff decided to throw caution to the wind and allow him to make […]

And when Speaker Johnson talked about the border, McConnell told him to put the […]
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian forces are pushing hard against more Ukrainian towns and villages in eastern and southeastern Ukraine as Moscow tries to press its current advantage in weapons and troops, Kyiv officials said Thursday. Despite Russia’s apparent offensive momentum on the ground, Ukraine claimed it has shot down 11 Russian warplanes in less […]
MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed Thursday to fulfill Moscow’s goals in Ukraine and sternly warned the West against deeper involvement in the fighting, saying that such a move is fraught with the risk of a global nuclear conflict. Putin‘s warning came in a state-of-the-nation address ahead of next month’s election he’s all […]
Earlier this month, the Ukrainian army was forced to withdraw from Avdiivka, a suburb of Donetsk, surrendering the city to the Russians. Moscow’s forces have kept up the pressure since that time and this week the Ukrainians were forced out of the village of Lastochkyne. Kyiv is citing a lack of both personnel and ammunition […]
