⚡️Zelensky to NATO: Don't say Ukraine's army doesn't meet Alliance's standards.

In a virtual address to NATO, President Zelensky said that he has one demand. “After such a war against Russia… Please, never, never again tell us that our army does not meet NATO standards.”
Ukraine destroyed a Russian ship at a port under Russian occupation, the country’s military said. The port of Berdyansk, which Russia captured in late February, offered Moscow a way to reinforce and resupply its forces.https://t.co/53AYFmWwHV

The US decision to delay sanctioning Abramovich is an unexpected twist in the West’s strategy to punish rich oligarchs in an effort to pressure Putin. Abramovich is the only oligarch to publicly say he is trying to push Moscow to find a peaceful resolutionhttps://t.co/yBTKno8IPj

“"Antiracist Baby" is a No. 1 bestseller on Amazon a day after the GOP senator railed against it during Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearing.” https://t.co/SGcofGYFxS
New – Top Rs say Jackson unlikely to get more than few GOP votes — and that may be a stretch. Graham almost certainly a no despite voting YES before. Blames Biden. “I'll make my decision based on his decision” to play to the base. And downplays past vote. https://t.co/1meHEXpehp

Senator Cotton actually accused Judge Jackson of lying under oath to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Staggering. It’s hard to say who was the most disgraceful: Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, Marsha Blackburn, Lindsey Graham, or Tom Cotton. It’s easy to say who triumphed: Judge Jackson.
