Russian hawks celebrate deadly response to Crimea setback
MOSCOW — The hail of indiscriminate missile fire across Ukraine this morning was Russia's brutal payback for the attack on the Crimean bridge.Russian President Vladimir Putin called it the response to an "act of terrorism" which he blamed on Ukraine.But it was also Mr Putin's response to hawks in his own camp who have been growing increasingly restless with Russian losses in the war and increasingly loud with their calls for tougher action.Those pro-Kremlin officials and TV hosts who were depressed and dejected just days ago are now cheering this assault on their neighbour, gloating and even dancing in social media posts as Ukraine grieves for its dead and picks through the wreckage of multiple attacks.The barrage of missiles was Gen Sergei Surovikin's first day of...

Russian large-scale strikes in Ukraine are ‘unacceptable escalation’, says Guterres
NEW YORK — The UN chief António Guterres said that large-scale strikes by the Russian military on the Ukrainian capital Kiev and other locations on Monday, were deeply shocking and represented “another unacceptable escalation” of the war.The strikes which have reportedly caused widespread damage to civilian areas and led to dozens of deaths and injuries, showed that “as always”, civilians were paying the highest price for Russia’s invasion of Feb. 24, the statement released by the UN Spokesperson added.Speaking earlier in the day in Geneva, UNHCR chief Filippo Grandi reported that Kiev, Dnipro, Lviv, Zaporizhzhia, Chernihiv, Odesa were among those hit in the latest uptick in violence, which he described as “horrifying strikes”.This was “another day of anguish” for...

Shock and horror after Russia's wave of strikes across Ukraine
KYIV — The past few hours have seen wave after wave of explosions, not just here in Kyiv, but all across this vast country, from Lviv in the west to Kharkiv in the east and Odesa in the south.For those of us who were here when Russia's full-scale invasion began in February, there's an element of déjà vu. We've been told to spend as much time as we can in the basement, as further attacks, using missiles and drones, are expected.But this is also different. The explosions here in Kyiv are much closer to the center. Not distant thumps from the suburbs, but loud reverberations close to streets and locations we've come to know well in the past eight months.It's difficult to tell what is being targeted, but a statement from Ukraine's ministry of culture said museums...

Nobel Prize in economics awarded to trio for work on financial crises
STOCKHOLM — Former Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke, Douglas Diamond and Philip Dybvig were awarded the Nobel Prize in economics on Monday for their work on banks and financial crises.The three US economists were recognized by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for their work in the early 1980s, which the institute said provided the foundation for our modern understanding of why banks are needed, their chief vulnerabilities and how their collapse can fuel financial meltdowns.Bernanke, who led the US central bank during the 2008 global financial crisis, received the award for his research on the Great Depression. His work showed that bank runs were a decisive reason the crisis became so severe and entrenched.“People had seen that banks fail, but it was more thought [of] as a...
