The Latest Ukraine-Russia War News: Live Updates

LVIV, Ukraine — With Ukrainian resistance holding firm and Western penalties seemingly toughening by the hour, the cost to Russia of its troubled, nearly two-week invasion mounted on Wednesday as its Central Bank limited withdrawals of foreign currency to protect the crashing ruble and the Kremlin’s spokesman accused the United States of waging an “economic war.”

Loss of Russian Oil Leaves a Void Not Easily Filled, Straining Market

HOUSTON — Before its forces invaded Ukraine, Russia provided one out of every 10 barrels of oil the world consumed. But as the United States and other customers shun Russian crude, the global oil market faces its greatest upheaval since the Middle East tumult of the 1970s.

Why is Poland giving MiG-29 fighter jets to the US – and is it a risky move?

Ukraine’s embattled armed forces desperately need combat aircraft to help the country fight off the Russian invasion. Its air force, though still flying, remains outnumbered by its opponent.

However, any new planes need to be ones that Ukraine’s pilots are trained to use. That means they need to be Russian-made planes, principally the MiG-29 fighter. Some still eastern European countries have MiGs in their fleets, which a week ago, the EU said it hoped could be given to Ukraine.

Saudi Arabia and UAE leaders ‘decline calls with Biden’ amid fears of oil price spike

“There was some expectation of a phone call, but it didn’t happen,“ a US official said of a plan for Saudi Prince Mohammed and Biden to speak. “It was part of turning on the spigot [of Saudi oil].”

Last week, OPEC+, which includes Russia, declined to increase oil production despite western entreaties.

La UE se resiste a cortar de manera tajante los lazos energéticos con Rusia

La decisión de Washington y Londres de cortar las importaciones de petróleo ruso redobla la presión sobre la Unión Europea para que adopte un castigo similar. Pero la UE se resiste a cortar la importación de petróleo por temor a que Moscú responda con un corte del suministro de gas que desencadenaría consecuencias muy graves para las economías del Viejo Continente y, en particular, para Alemania.

Venezuela libera al menos a dos prisioneros estadounidenses después del encuentro con funcionarios de la Casa Blanca

Venezuela ha liberado este martes a al menos dos prisioneros de Estados Unidos, un gesto más que confirma el acercamiento entre dos países cuyas posturas parecían irreconciliables hasta hace unos días. El fin de semana pasado, funcionarios de la administración de Joe Biden se reunieron por sorpresa en Caracas con el presidente Nicolás Maduro para hablar de seguridad energética, en un momento en el que el precio del petróleo se ha disparado por la intervención militar de Rusia en Ucrania

Russia-Ukraine: The Dangers of Nuclear Brinkmanship

The shelling and subsequent fire at Ukraine’s largest nuclear power plant early on the morning of Friday, March 4 briefly raised the spectre of nuclear catastrophe, 35 years after a fire in Chernobyl spread plumes of contamination through parts of Europe.

Though the fire has been brought under control and, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), radiation levels have not been affected, President Zelensky has accused Russia of nuclear terrorism. American and EU leaders have echoed his concern, focussing attention on a potential vulnerability in this volatile situation.

Russia Sanctions: US Hoist With Its Own Petard in Dealings With India

In a troubling spinoff of its bitter faceoff with Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, the US now faces a paradoxical dilemma in dealing with its strategic and defence partner India, whose military remains vulnerably dependent on Moscow for its operability.

The US, along with all its North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) partners, and other countries, had sanctioned some 113 Russian arms manufacturers, including their design bureaus and related entities at home and in surrounding, friendly countries – the majority of which collectively continue to support over 60% of India’s military assets.

Need Time To Study Long Term Implications of Deployment of NDA Women Cadets: Centre to SC

The Union government on Monday told the Supreme Court that induction of women cadets in the National Defence Academy (NDA) has been a major policy decision and it needs at least three months for deliberating implications in the long term for induction and deployment of ex-NDA women cadets in the Indian Armed Forces.

It said that in respect of the number of women to be inducted for “NDA-II 2021” and “NDA-I 2022,” it is submitted that each course at NDA has 370 vacancies for the three services, out of which 208 will get commissioned in the Indian Army, 120 cadets will get commissioned in the Indian Air Force (IAF) and 42 will get commissioned in the Indian Navy.
