Ukraine war: Zelenskyy says Ukraine has become stronger as war moves close to second year| Oneindia
In his New Year's address on December 31, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed a steadfast commitment to confront Russian forces with unwavering determination throughout 2024.
Despite what he characterised as efforts to erode support for Kyiv, Zelensky promised resolute action and formidable "wrath." Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin's New Year's Eve message marked a departure from the previous year, with a noticeably restrained tone and a notable absence of any mention of the conflict in Ukraine.

As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine escalates, a new tactical emblem has been observed on Russian military equipment near Kharkiv. This symbol, characterised by a central square with two overlapping diagonal crosses, indicates a significant escalation in Russia's military operations, particularly in the Kharkiv Region. According to reports from OSINT Defender, this emblem is linked to Russia's renewed border offensive in northeast Ukraine, with Russian forces actively attempting to breach Ukrainian defences, notably around Vovchansk. These symbols serve as identification friend or foe (IFF) measures in conflict zones, aiming to prevent friendly fire. Notably, the 'Z' marking, prominent during the 2022 Ukraine invasion, became a symbol of Russian support for the war effort.

The incident, involving four shots, led to swift law enforcement action, with a suspect detained and the scene cordoned off.

Enriched uranium is used to fuel nuclear power plants. Russia supplies the world
with most of it, 'The Guardian' reports.
Approximately 24% of the uranium used by nuclear power plants in the U.S. is provided by Russia.
The import ban will begin in 90 days.
However, the Department of Energy
(DOE) will be permitted to issue
waivers if supplies run low until 2028.
U.S. National Security Adviser
Jake Sullivan said the new law will... .
... “strengthen our nation’s energy and economic security by reducing, and ultimately eliminating,
our reliance on Russia for civilian nuclear power.”.
According to a U.S. House report, one

Amid a cabinet reshuffle by President Putin, a senior Defense Ministry official, Lt. Gen. Yury Kuznetsov, was arrested on bribery charges, highlighting a crackdown on corruption within Russia's military. Kuznetsov faces severe charges, with authorities uncovering a significant sum of cash and luxury items. Putin's replacement of Sergei Shoigu as defence minister and the nomination of Andrei Belousov signal potential further purges within the ministry. Shoigu's deputy's recent arrest has raised speculation about Shoigu's future, amidst scrutiny over Russia's military strategy in Ukraine, where Ukrainian resistance has proven formidable, causing setbacks for Russian forces. The implications of these internal power shifts remain uncertain as Russia navigates the ongoing conflict.

What's the Origin
of April Fools' Day?.
The April 1 tradition of pranks has been observed
for several centuries across a variety of cultures.
However, the official origins of
April Fools’ Day are unknown.
The most popular theory is that the day was
caused by the switch from the Julian calendar
to the Gregorian calendar in the 16th century.
The original calendar saw the New Year
beginning on March 25, with celebrations
occurring on the first day of April.
The switch moved the New Year to January 1,
but many still thought April 1 was the proper day
to celebrate, hence they were “April fools.”.
Another theory says the day is related
to the arrival of Spring, when nature
“fools” people with irregular weather.
Historians have also linked April Fools' Day to an
ancient Roman festival known as Hilaria, which
was celebrated by people dressing up in disguises.
Whatever its origin may be, April Fools’ Day
has evolved to have its own lore and rules.
Superstition says that playing pranks
past noon or not responding to pranks
with good humor will attract bad luck
