Ukraine EU Membership is Now Unacceptable for Peace Deal - Russia

Russia has changed stance on Ukraine’s prospects of EU membership, and now it cannot be a part of any peace deal, according to Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Dmitry Polyanskiy.

“The situation has changed after Mr. Borrell’s statement that ‘this war should be won on the battleground’ and after the fact that the European Union is the leader in deliveries of arms [to Ukraine].” the diplomat stated.

There’s little place left for diplomacy in the conflict, Polyanskiy admitted, partly due to Western efforts to prolong the hostilities.

❗️US Drug Overdoses Break Record

One death occurred every five minutes, in a grim record set for a third consecutive year. More than 107,600 Americans died, according to CDC data, driven by fentanyl and other opioid abuse.

It's the highest number since records began, as overdoses surged 30% between 2019 and 2020. The largest increase was seen in Alaska, where drug-related deaths soared 75.3% over the previous year.

Synthetic opioid fentanyl remained the primary culprit, present in nearly two-thirds (71,238) of the casualties. Methamphetamine was a distant second, appearing in 32,856 cases, though it showed a steeper increase compared to fentanyl; 24,538 of those who died had taken cocaine, while just 13,503 had taken prescription pain medications.

The Biden administration calls off three sales of offshore exploration acreage even as Americans struggle with surging fuel prices

President Joe Biden’s administration has canceled three offshore oil and natural-gas lease sales, including one in Alaska, diminishing prospects for new sources of supply even as record gasoline prices help keep the US inflation rate at a 40-year high.

The US Department of the Interior (DOI) announced the decision on Wednesday, calling off lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska’s Cook Inlet. The department blamed “conflicting court rulings” for complicating its work on...

North Korea SHUTS DOWN in “MAXIMUM EMERGENCY” - after first official Covid-19 Case

Pyongyang’s state media reported its first Covid case on May 8, with an instant nationwide lockdown ordered by leader Kim Jong-un to “flawlessly block the spread” of the virus.

At a meeting chaired by Kim, the government department responsible for pandemic response was reportedly slammed by officials for its “carelessness… irresponsibility and inefficiency.”
