MADRID — Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has announced another €10bn (£8.8bn) in support to address rising prices following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.The government would "protect the middle class and workers amid the rise in the cost of living, energy and food", he said.The proposals include cuts to VAT and a €200 one-off payment for millions of households on less than €27,000 a year.It's Spain's third set of aid measures and brings total support to €45bn.Spain has succeeded in bringing down inflation in recent months to 6.8%, the lowest annual rate in the European Union and the lowest figure since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Ukraine war: Civilians flee Kherson as Russian attacks intensify
KHERSON — Thirteen-year-old Nika Selivanova made a heart shape with both her hands, waving goodbye to her best friend Inna who was pressed up against the glass partition that divided the entrance hall of Kherson's train station from the waiting area.Moments earlier, they'd hugged, tears welling up in their eyes. Inna had kissed Asia, a tan dachshund dog wrapped up in a warm blanket, carried by Nika in her arms.The girls didn't know when they might see each other again.Nika's family was leaving Kherson, not sure of where they would end up eventually. For now, they were heading to the western city of Khmelnytskyi, hoping they would get some help there.The past few days in Kherson had simply been too much for Nika's mother Elena."Before, they [Russian forces]...

Russia bans oil sales to countries using price cap
MOSCOW — Russia has banned oil sales to countries and companies that comply with a price cap agreed by Western nations earlier this month.The price cap - which was agreed by the G7 group of nations, Australia and the EU - came into force on 5 December.The cap prohibits countries from paying more than $60 (€56; £50) per barrel of Russian oil.Russia has now said its oil and oil products will not be sold to anyone imposing the price cap.The presidential decree said the ban would take effect for five months from 1 February until 1 July.The decree also said Russian President Vladimir Putin could give "special permission" to supply to countries that fall under the ban.The G7 group of major economies first put forward the idea of a price cap in September in order to stop Moscow...

Serbia puts troops on high alert over rising tensions
BELGRADE —The Serbian army said it is at its “highest level of combat readiness” after weeks of escalating tensions between Serbia and Kosovo.President Aleksandar Vucic said he will “take all measures to protect our people and preserve Serbia”.The saber-rattling is louder than ever and follows some media claims in Serbia that Pristina is preparing “an attack” on ethnic Serb areas in north Kosovo.The government in Pristina has made no comment about the allegations. But it has previously accused Vucic of playing “games” to stir up trouble.Kosovo, which has an overwhelmingly ethnic Albanian majority, broke away from Serbia after a war in 1998-99. Serbia does not recognize Kosovo as an independent state, nor do the ethnic Serbs who live there.Belgrade accuses Kosovo of...

How NATO is preparing for a new era of AI cyber attacks
BRUSSELS — Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing a massive role in cyber attacks and is proving both a “double-edged sword” and a “huge challenge,” according to NATO.“Artificial intelligence allows defenders to scan networks more automatically, and fend off attacks rather than doing it manually. But the other way around, of course, it’s the same game,” David van Weel, NATO’s assistant secretary-general for emerging security challenges, told reporters earlier this month.Cyber attacks, both on national infrastructures and private companies, have ramped up exponentially and become a focal point since the war in Ukraine.NATO said this year that a cyber attack on any of its member states could trigger Article 5, meaning an attack on one member is considered an attack on all...

Russian foreign minister gives Ukraine ultimatum over occupied regions
MOSCOW — Russia's foreign minister has said Ukraine must fulfil Moscow's proposals regarding their "new territories" — or the Russian military would take action, according to Russian state news agency TASS.A day after President Vladimir Putin said he was open to negotiations over Ukraine, Sergei Lavrov lashed out saying Kyiv and the West sought to destroy his country and Ukraine must meet Moscow's demands or its army will.Putin's offer to talk was dismissed by Ukraine, as his forces continued to batter Ukrainian towns with missiles and rockets, and Moscow kept demanding that Kyiv recognise its conquest of a fifth of the country.Kyiv said it would fight until Russia withdrew."Our proposals ... are well known to the enemy," TASS quoted Lavrov as saying...

 Suspect in Paris shooting 'wanted to murder migrants’
PARIS — The man suspected of killing three people outside a Kurdish community center in Paris told investigators that he wanted “to murder migrants”.The 69-year-old pensioner wounded three others on Friday and was disarmed and subdued by one of the injured victims when he entered a barber shop near the center.He was detained and could face charges of racially motivated murder, attempted murder and arms violations.The prosecutor’s office said the unnamed suspect had a “hatred toward foreigners that became completely pathological” after he experienced a burglary at his home in 2016.The suspect said he initially went to the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis intending to kill foreigners but changed his mind.
