Last month, Russia announced that it would stop participating in a deal that allowed ships carrying tons of Ukrainian grain to travel through the Black Sea.

ABC reports that Ukraine has long been one of the largest exporters of grain, wheat and corn in the world.

According to Biden administration officials, Russia's exit from the agreement , “will exacerbate food scarcity and harm millions of vulnerable people around the world.”.

Russia’s decision to resume its effective blockade of Ukrainian ports and prevent this grain from getting to markets will harm people all over the world, John Kirby, Spokesperson for the National Security Council, via ABC.

Russia will be fully and solely responsible for the consequences of this military act of aggression, John Kirby, Spokesperson for the National Security Council, via ABC.

Putin's Ally Fico Shot Because He Stopped Sending Weapons To Ukraine; Slovakia Minister's Big Claim [Video]

Putin's Ally Fico Shot Because He Stopped Sending Weapons To Ukraine; Slovakia Minister's Big Claim

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico faced a critical assassination attempt by Juraj Cintula, a 71-year-old man with dissent against Fico's policies, particularly regarding arms shipments to Ukraine. Fico's decision to halt arms deliveries after his election victory drew backlash, allegedly motivating Cintula's actions. Described as a "lone wolf" with no extremist affiliations, Cintula's frustrations with government decisions may have been accelerated by the recent presidential election results. Both allies and opposition leaders denounced the attack, highlighting its threat to Slovakia's democracy. Cintula's background as a former security guard and poet adds complexity to the situation. The incident occurred amid debates over the dissolution of Slovakia's public broadcaster, further heightening concerns about political stability. Fico's condition remains serious as Slovakia awaits updates on his recovery. #Slovakia #RobertFico #PrimeMinister #Attack #SuspectDetained #Police #Shooting #Turmoil #PoliticalCrisis #Leadership #Security #PrayersForFico #Stability #LawEnforcement #CurrentEvents ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.103~GR.124~

‘Shame on You’: Israeli Envoy Shreds UN Charter Supporting Palestine | Watch video

Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdan made a dramatic statement at the United Nations General Assembly by tearing up the UN Charter in protest just before the assembly passed a resolution supporting full membership for Palestine. The resolution, which received overwhelming support with 143 votes in favour, asked the Security Council to grant full membership to Palestine, currently holding observer status at the UN. Twenty-five countries abstained from the vote, while nine, including the United States and Israel, voted against it. Erdan criticised the resolution as a "clear violation" of the UN Charter and accused it of circumventing the US veto in the Security Council. He described his actions as a symbolic reflection of the assembly's disregard for the principles outlined in the UN Charter. #IsraeliEnvoyShredsUNCharter #UNCharterShred #Israel #Palestine #UN #UNGA #SecurityCouncil #Resolution #FullMembership #IsraeliEnvoy #GiladErdan #ShameOnYou #Conflict #MiddleEast #Diplomacy #InternationalRelations #PeaceEfforts ~HT.99~PR.152~ED.155~

Biden Asserts Executive Privilege , Over Audio of Interview With Robert Hur. In February, Hur's yearlong investigation into whether President Biden mishandled classified documents ended without enough evidence to support criminal charges. In February, Hur's yearlong investigation into whether President Biden mishandled classified documents ended without enough evidence to support criminal charges. House Republicans were provided a transcript of Biden's interview with Hur, but they wanted the audio, which the DOJ denied. As a result, House Republicans were moving to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress. On May 16, the Department of Justice told House Republicans that the president asserted executive privilege over audio from his interview with the special counsel. The move protects Garland from criminal exposure as GOP lawmakers seek to hold him accountable. Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte explained the DOJ's actions in a letter. The Attorney General must draw a line that safeguards the Department from improper political influence and protects our principles, our law enforcement work, and the people who carry out that work independently, without fear or favor, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter . The Committees seek to hold the Attorney General in contempt not for failing in his duties, but for upholding them, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter . With the information you now have, the Committees ought not to proceed with contempt and should instead avoid unnecessary and unwarranted conflict, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter . White House Counsel Ed Siskel also wrote a letter supporting the assertion of executive privilege. . The absence of a legitimate need for the audio recordings lays bare your likely goal—to chop them up, distort them, and use them for partisan political purposes, White House Counsel Ed Siskel, via letter
