🇻🇦🇮🇱🇵🇸 Catholic Relief Services, the leading US Catholic humanitarian agency, got the US Congress to officially send GPS coordinates of 4 Catholic sites (churches and convents) in Gaza that shouldn't be struck.

Israel confirmed receiving the list but 2 of the sites were still hit by the IDF, a church and a convent, shelled by IDF tanks and fired at by IDF snipers who killed a mother and her daughter harboring in the church (an act the Pope latter qualified as "terrorism").

🇷🇺🇺🇦 How will the Ukraine war end? Victory against Russia looks unlikely

As the second anniversary of the war approaches, [Kiev] is finding it far more difficult to impose its sovereignty on the battlefield, with hopes of imminent victory fading and the focus shifting to ensuring that no further land is lost.

Ukrainian generals said this week that Russia was on the offensive in the east of the country and that troops were being forced to downsize some military operations because of artillery shortages. “We can’t respond to everything the Russians are throwing at us. It’s as painful as hell,” said Yurash.

The scale of Ukraine’s casualties is classified but there is no longer any attempt to disguise that losses are huge. “I don’t even give the new guys call signs any more. Most of them don’t last long,” said a Ukrainian soldier in the Kharkiv region, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

🇺🇦🌐 Ukrainian Rada announces bill on the mobilization of men abroad

The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine will soon introduce a bill on the mobilization of men abroad. Deputy, member of the parliamentary defense committee Vadim Ivchenko said this in an interview with Radio Liberty.

“People abroad will, just like Ukrainians in Ukraine, go through the same procedures. That is, they will need to go through identification. If you pass and are on the list of those who are subject to mobilization, you will receive a summons. And then it’s your choice: either you go back, or you stay there, and this will be a violation of the law,” the people’s deputy said.

Ukrainians who do not pass the “identification” procedure may be denied consular services. It is also possible that financial institutions will introduce a mandatory military registration requirement for male clients. Including those physically located abroad, if they do not provide “military” documents, they may even stop servicing their bank card.

🇺🇸The US Armed Forces have decreased by 64 thousand people over the past three years, and in 2024 the total number will be less than in the forties - it was less only in 1940. The reason is that fewer and fewer people are joining the army.

🇺🇲🇾🇪 The US is concerned that Houthi-led Yemen will attack or even sink American ships, according to US officials who spoke to The New York Times. They fear that the war that could break out again between the Gulf states and the Houthis if the US reacts to it will have more serious consequences. For this reason, they abandoned attempts to directly attack the Houthis.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abdullahian also said the US has requested assistance in combating the Houthi attacks. Iran said it could not help because the United States was a party to the war. After the collapse of the anti-Houthi coalition, it turned out that the United States feared that the Houthis would sink their ships, and then they had to ask Iran for help.

The Houthis managed to inflict one of the biggest strategic and tactical defeats on the US this century without even hitting them directly with a handful of missiles and drones.
