EU presses on with steel ‘porcupine strategy’ for Ukraine as Russia tries to end Western support

EU continues support of UkraineRussian President Vladimir Putin’s key peace demand that Western allies stop providing military aid and intelligence to Ukraine is quietly being ignored by the European Union.

As U.S.-led talks with Russia and Ukraine progress, without the Europeans at the table, the 27-nation bloc is pressing ahead with a steel “porcupine strategy” aimed at building the Ukrainian armed forces, and the country’s defense industry, into an even more formidable opponent.

At an EU summit on Thursday, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that it’s “central” that Ukraine should remain an independent democratic nation that can continue its journey toward EU membership and “that it also has a strong army of its own after a peace agreement.”

“For us, it will be important to continue to support Ukraine significantly — as the European Union as a whole, as allies and friends and as individual countries,” Scholz told reporters in Brussels.

'Nowhere is safe': Doctor in Gaza describes scenes of 'nonstop' injuries after Israel ends ceasefire

Nowhere is safe

Hospitals in Gaza are struggling to respond to the surge of injured patients pouring in one day after Israel broke the ceasefire with Hamas.

In addition to firing a series of airstrikes into Gaza that killed more than 400 people and injured hundreds, the Israeli military says it has launched a “targeted ground operation” in the region, returning troops to areas in central and southern Gaza they had retreated from during the two-month ceasefire.

Dr. Razan al-Nahhas, an American emergency room physician on her second medical mission in Gaza, said she has witnessed firsthand the impact of the ongoing attacks on Gaza as a volunteer at the Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City.

“It's just non-stop, one ambulance after another,” Dr. al-Nahhas said. “Pure chaos.”

Greg Landsman

Funding for a U.S.-based program that tracks thousands of Ukrainian children allegedly abducted and taken to Russia has been cut and U.S. lawmakers are worried that a database with crucial information has been permanently deleted, according to a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio signed by more than 15 lawmakers.

"This data is absolutely crucial to Ukraine's efforts to return their children home …The foreign aid freeze has jeopardized, and may ultimately eliminate, our informational support of Ukraine on this front," the letter states.

In an email to NPR on Wednesday, a Yale University spokesperson acknowledged that funding for the Yale School of Public Health Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL)'s work on the war in Ukraine, which included the research on the abducted children, has been "discontinued."

Canadian airline cancels flights to Tennessee as other US routes suspended

Flaie AirlineAmid a tense political climate, a Canadian airline says it is canceling flights between Canada and a Tennessee city already targeted by the country’s tariffs.

In response to tariffs enacted by President Trump, Canadians have made their opinion of the U.S. clear, booing the country’s national anthem at NHL and NBA games and removing American-made goods — including Tennessee whiskey — from their store shelves.

Recent reports show Canadians are also avoiding any trips to the U.S. According to the Canadian Press, they have been canceling travel plans. Data from travel agency Flight Centre Travel Group Canada showed leisure bookings to U.S. cities dropped 40 percent in February over last February, with one in five customers canceling U.S. trips over the previous three months.

Canadian airlines have taken note. One in particular, Flair Airlines, recently announced it would end flights to Nashville.

“I can confirm that Flair won’t be flying to Nashville this summer,” said Kim Bowie, director of communications for Flair Airlines. According to Flair’s website, the airline’s flights to Nashville are its only route to Tennessee.

'Everything is finished': Ukrainian troops relive retreat from Kursk

Ukranian soldiers

Ukrainian soldiers fighting in Russia's Kursk region have described scenes "like a horror movie" as they retreated from the front lines.

The BBC has received extensive accounts from Ukrainian troops, who recount a "catastrophic" withdrawal in the face of heavy fire, and columns of military equipment destroyed and constant attacks from swarms of Russian drones.

The soldiers, who spoke over social media, were given aliases to protect their identity. Some gave accounts of a "collapse" as Ukraine lost Sudzha, the largest town it held.

Ukrainian restrictions on travel to the front have meant it is not possible to get a full picture of the situation. But this is how five Ukrainian soldiers described to us what had happened.

44 Killed As Israel Has “Resumed Fighting” In Gaza

44 killed in gazaIsrael’s defense minister says Israel has “resumed fighting” in Gaza and is vowing to press ahead until all remaining hostages are released.

In a brief statement, Defense Minister Israel Katz said “the gates of hell will open in Gaza” if hostages aren’t released.

“We will not stop fighting until all of our hostages are home and we have achieved all of the war goals,” he said.

Gaza’s ministry of health said at least 44 people were killed in the new wave of airstrikes across the Gaza Strip early Tuesday. Israel said it was striking Hamas targets in its heaviest assault in the territory since a ceasefire took effect in January.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had ordered the strikes because of a lack of progress in ongoing talks to extend the ceasefire. It was not immediately clear if the operation was a one-time pressure tactic or if the 17-month-old war was being resumed altogether.
