The UK and Canada will join the EU in a plan to use part of the nearly $300 billion in frozen Russian central bank assets held by G7 nations to boost financial support for Ukraine. The mechanism would allow issuing loans without formally seizing the assets, securing long-term financing for Ukraine.

Cervical cancer could be eradicated. But not with Medicaid cuts and anti-vax politics.

The cancer has a known path of prevention, but that also means it falls at the intersection of cultural issues that are facing strong political opposition.

Once again, russia proves that all the hatred it gets is well-deserved

This morning near Kherson, russian forces deliberately struck a convoy of United Nations OCHA trucks with drones and artillery. One vehicle was destroyed by fire, another was heavy damage, and two trucks escaped the attack.

Cette photo partagée par l’administration de Kherson, région où la Russie a lancé drones et artillerie sur un convoi humanitaire de l'ONU, illustre à quel point il est vain & naïf d'espérer une quelconque bonne foi de Moscou dans des négociations "de paix". La Russie ne cherche pas la paix.

🔴🇺🇦 Four UN-OCHA trucks carrying humanitarian aid came under Russian drone & artillery fire in Bilozerka, Kherson region, this morning.

One vehicle burned down, one was heavily damaged. Nobody was injured, which Kherson governor Oleksandr Prokudin calls a miracle.
