Russia's strike caused considerable damage, which Kyiv blamed on debris from 10 ballistic missiles it had shot down
Dozens wounded in Russian missile strikes on Kyiv
KYIV — Dozens of people have been injured in a wave of missile strikes on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv overnight, authorities say.Fifty-three people were hurt in the attacks, including six children, Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said.Kindergarten and hospital buildings were reportedly damaged by debris as authorities said 10 Russian ballistic missiles had been shot down.The strikes happened after President Volodymyr Zelensky left the US.His plea for Congress to agree more military aid for Ukraine made little progress in winning over reluctant Republicans.EU leaders will also discuss further aid for Ukraine on Thursday, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said "we must give Ukraine what it needs to be strong today".Zelensky promised a response to Wednesday's...

Russia's new Black Sea naval base alarms Georgia
TBILISI — In early November, 50 Georgian opposition MPs addressed Nato and EU member states calling for a unified stance against Russia's plan to establish a permanent naval base in the breakaway Georgian region of Abkhazia.The Kremlin's plans have raised fears that the base could drag EU-hopeful Georgia into Russia's war in Ukraine and harm Tbilisi's own plans for a port on the Black Sea."We unanimously and firmly condemn Russia's occupation, militarisation and other actions aimed at annexation of the occupied regions of Georgia, a new expression of which is the opening of a permanent Russian naval base in Ochamchire port," read the MPs' statement.Weeks earlier Abkhazia's de facto leader, Aslan Bzhania, had confirmed an agreement had been signed...

UK's Defense Ministry fined after email blunder risked Afghan interpreters' lives
LONDON — Britain's Ministry of Defense (MoD) has been fined £350,000 over an email blunder that exposed details of interpreters fleeing Afghanistan.The 265 people affected had worked with the UK government -- some were in hiding when the Taliban seized control.Lives could have been at risk had data fallen into their hands, the data watchdog said.The MoD said it recognized the severity of the breach, fully acknowledged the ruling and apologized to the victims.The information commissioner, John Edwards, said the error "let down those to whom our country owes so much".He added: "This was a particularly egregious breach of the obligation of security owed to these people, thus warranting the financial penalty my office imposes today," he added.The main breach was...

BRUSSELS — Věra Jourová, the vice president of the European Commission in charge of values of transparency, publicly excoriated Hungary's anti-EU campaign, calling it misleading and replete with "verifiable lies.""This billboard campaign is outrageous and scandalous. And this campaign is offending my boss Ursula von der Leyen, it's offending me as well, and I think most, if not all, the members of the College" of Commissioners, Jourová said on Tuesday afternoon, in reply to a question from Euronews."It does not show something which we call in European diplomatic jargon sincere cooperation."The billboards, which began appearing on the streets of Hungary in mid-November, feature von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, standing next...

Tusk elected as Polish prime minister
WARSAW — The Polish parliament has backed Donald Tusk to become prime minister after current leader Mateusz Morawiecki lost a key vote in the country’s parliament on Monday.Morawiecki’s populist Law and Justice (PiS) party failed to win a majority in October’s elections.President Andrzej Duda, a PiS ally, nonetheless nominated Morawiecki to lead the government.

The Sejm, the country’s parliament, then nominated Tusk to lead the country.He is expected to take office this week.October’s elections saw a coalition led by Tusk win a majority of seats with a record turnout of more than 70%.The grouping comprises three parties,...

GENEVA — As conflicts, climate emergencies and collapsing economies continue to wreak havoc on communities worldwide, the UN on Monday issued an appeal for $46.4 billion for 2024 to help 181 million people facing catastrophic hunger, mass displacement and diseases worldwide.Launching the Global Humanitarian Overview, Martin Griffiths, UN Emergency Relief Coordinator, praised the heroic efforts of humanitarians but emphasized that international support is falling far short of the escalating needs.“We thank all donors for their contributions, which amount to $20 billion so far this year — but that is just a third of what was needed,” he stated.“If we cannot provide more help in 2024, people will pay for it with their lives,” he warned.Outlining the objectives that UN...
