Washington (AFP) - The United States on Wednesday rushed to send ammunition, weapons and other war supplies to Ukraine, after President Joe Biden signed a much-delayed bill to support the country as it struggles to hold back Russian advances. The final approval of the legislation -- which includes $61 billion for Kyiv out of a total of $95 billion in funding -- comes after months of political wrangling as Ukrainian forces ran short of ammunition and suffered battlefield setbacks. "I just signed into law the national security package that was passed by the House of Representatives this weekend,...

CIA Director William Burns delivered a warning message to lawmakers in DC, emphasizing the urgency of approving aid to Ukraine to prevent potential loss in the war against Russia. “This is really a question of whether or not our adversaries understand our reliability and determination, and whether our allies and partners understand that as well,” he said.

However, without this aid, he said there is a significant risk of Ukrainia...

Washington (AFP) - The spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank are due to open Tuesday, with two clear objectives: help countries combat climate change, and assist the most indebted nations.

Even as they look ahead, the meetings will have an air of nostalgia this year, as 2024 ...

The European Parliament on April 11 refused discharge of the EU Council's budget until European leaders decide to support Ukraine with additional Patriot air defense systems, MEP Guy Verhofstadt said. The decision was supported by 515 MEPs, with 62 voting against it. As Russia intensified its attacks on Ukraine during the spring, the shortage of air defenses is increasingly felt in Ukrainian cities. Kyiv has been urging allies to provide Ukraine with more air defenses, in particular, with U.S.-made Patriot systems that can intercept ballistic missiles. "What I find scandalous is that Europe, w...

Israel's Defence Minister Yoav Gallant on Wednesday announced the opening of a new crossing in the north of the Gaza Strip. Gallant told journalists in Tel Aviv that this was one of several steps intended to facilitate the delivery of significantly more aid supplies to the Palestinian territory. The aim is to bring goods to the Gaza Strip more quickly via the port of Ashdod and to facilitate security checks. The new access in the north should reduce the pressure on the existing Kerem Shalom border crossing in the south of the Gaza Strip. Aid deliveries via Jordan should also be increased, Gall...

Washington (AFP) - The United States has approved the sale of tens of millions of dollars in military equipment to aid Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza, and the close defense ties between the countries date back decades.
