“So I don’t think that here everything
is rushing so head-on” to nuclear warfare,
“but we are ready for this,” Putin said.
Nuclear weapons would only come into play
“if we are talking about the existence of the
Russian state, about the threat to our
sovereignty and independence,” Putin said.
Putin went on to say that Russia was willing
to take part in peace talks with Ukraine.
For us to negotiate now just because they
are running out of ammunition is somewhat
ridiculous on our part... We are, however,
ready for a serious conversation, Russian President Vladimir Putin, via statement.
His comments come ahead of the
presidential election taking place on March 15-17.
Putin is expected to be reelected for the
fifth time, securing a new six-year term.
On March 12, the White House announced
$300 million more in weapons aid for Ukraine.

Russia Vetoes UN Resolution , to Prevent Nukes in Space.
The resolution was sponsored
by Japan and the United States.
It called on all nations to refrain from developing or deploying nuclear weapons "or other weapons of mass destruction in space," 'The Guardian' reports. .
A 1967 international treaty
already bans such weapons in space.
Russia’s U.N. Ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia,
vetoed the resolution, calling it "absolutely absurd and politicized," as well as a "dirty spectacle.".
China abstained from voting, while the rest of the 15-member council voted in favor of the resolution. .
Today’s veto begs the question:
Why? Why, if you are following the
rules, would you not support a
resolution that reaffirms them?
What could you possibly be hiding, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. ambassador to the U.N., via 'The Guardian'.
Russia and China would rather establish an
amendment calling on all nations "to prevent for
all time the placement of weapons in outer space, and the threat of use of force in outer spaces.".
We want a ban on the placement of
weapons of any kind in outer space, not
just WMDs [weapons of mass destruction].
But you don’t want that. And let me ask
you that very same question. Why?, Vassily Nebenzia, Russia’s U.N. ambassador, via 'The Guardian'.
Nebenzia went on to say, "if we recall that the U.S. and their allies announced some time ago plans to place weapons … in outer space.".
The U.S.-Japan resolution was announced in March after it was determined that Russia was in possession of "a 'troubling' anti-satellite weapon capability," 'The Guardian' reports.
However, earlier this year, Putin said, , "Our position is clear and transparent: We have always been categorically against and are now against the deployment of nuclear weapons in space."

outside the Congress wanted this

Congress who stand on the side of
democracy are winning the day, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, via statement.

does not end here. Trust in American
resolve is not rebuilt overnight. Expanding
and restocking the arsenal of democracy
doesn’t just happen by magic, Senate Majority Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, via statement

The Biden administration recently halted a shipment of U.S.-made ammunition to Israel, a move that stirred concerns within the Israeli government. This marks the first instance since the Oct. 7 attack that the U.S. has stopped a weapons shipment bound for Israel. The decision came amidst worries that Israel might launch an invasion of the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

As Chinese leader Xi Jinping touched down in France on Sunday (May 5) for a state visit, all eyes turned to Paris where President Emmanuel Macron aims to navigate delicate diplomatic waters. Macron is anticipated to leverage the visit to press Xi for a firmer stance against Russia amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. However, even before Xi's arrival, the streets reverberated with the voices of Tibetan protesters, highlighting the contentious issue of China's occupation of Tibet. Since the annexation by the People's Republic of China in 1951 following the Battle of Chamdo, Tibet's sovereignty has been a persistent source of tension, underscored by China's assertion of control over the region from January 1, 1950. Against this backdrop, Macron's diplomatic balancing act takes center stage, emblematic of the intricate dance between global powers and human rights advocacy.
