Berlin is to supply rocket\u002Dpropelled grenade launchers to Ukraine
February 26, 2022
A letter by Russia’s deputy health minister told hospitals to identify medical staff, including anaesthetists and specialists in trauma and heart conditions, to relocate and work on an assignment in another part of the country. Russian forces seemed to be bogged down with the war a little over 48 hours old, as more Ukrainians took up arms and the West sent millions of pounds-worth of new lethal weapons.
“SWIFT is the financial nuclear weapon,” French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Friday. “It stops any payments from Russia or to Russia. When you have a nuclear financial weapon in your hands, you think before using it. Some member states expressed reservations, and we are taking those reservations into account… This evaluation won’t be done in the coming days or weeks. It should be done in hours.
So far, European leaders and communities say they are ready to welcome in Ukrainian refugees. In many cases, volunteers with locally funded food, clothes, and warm rooms await them on the other side. “No flights for aggressor planes in the freedom sky,” Lithuanian Prime Minister Ingrida Simonyte tweeted after a government meeting.
The moves follow similar closures of airspace of the UK, Poland, Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Romania to Russia’s aircraft. Russia has retaliated by banning airlines of these countries from flying on its territory. Many shops were closed, including those selling food, and the streets were empty except for a odd car — a contrast to the columns of vehicles choking roads in recent days as tens of thousands of residents fled west — and a few pedestrians pulling suitcases.
Soldiers near a Kyiv train station inspected the still smoking remains of a truck that appeared to have been carrying ammunition and had scattered burnt shrapnel across a highway. Other soldiers dug trenches. “Not only is NATO more unified, look at what’s going on in terms of Finland, look at what’s going on in terms of Sweden, look what’s going on in other countries. I mean he’s producing the exact opposite effect that he intended,” Biden told social media influencer Brian Tyler Cohen in an interview taped on Friday.12:16 p.m.
Earlier on Saturday, the Dutch government said in a letter to parliament that it will supply 200 air defense rockets to Ukraine as quickly as possible.United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres spoke with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday, telling him the world body plans to “enhance humanitarian assistance to the people of Ukraine,” a U.N. spokesperson said.
The Soviet-era canal was built to channel water from the River Dnieper to arid areas of Ukraine’s Kherson region and CrimeaArticle contentUkraine so far appears to have prevented Russia from achieving air dominance inside the country and it continues to face resistance from Ukrainian aircraft and missile defenses, a senior U.S. defense official told reporters Saturday morning.
But a defiant Zelenskyy said the capital Kyiv remained in Ukrainian hands. Authorities there handed thousands of assault rifles to residents and told citizens to make petrol bombs as they prepared to help repel the invaders.“We know that they have not made the progress that they have wanted to make, particularly in the north.Article content
While Russia has been steadily reducing reliance on foreign currency, the central bank still held 16.4% of its holdings in dollars at the end of June 2021, according to the latest official data, down from 22.2% a year earlier. The euro’s share was up at 32.2%.Article content As hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fled westwards towards the European Union, top Russian security official and ex-president Dmitry Medvedev said Moscow’s military operations would be waged relentlessly until their goals were achieved.
Both Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke of possible talks on Friday but Ukraine said clashes with invading Russian troops continued on Friday night and on Saturday.
