KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Ukraine´s economy minister and the key negotiator in the mineral deal with the U.S, Yuliia Svyrydenko, was appointed as its new prime minister Thursday, becoming the country’s first new head of government since the start of Russia´s full-scale invasion in 2022.

Starmer found new voters for his failing Labour party: teenagers. Highly unpopular British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his train-wreck Labour government are moving to lower the voting age by two years to 16 in all UK elections. This move will probably ensure an avalanche of youth votes to the leftists, thanks to the school system bias. Reuters reported: “’They’re old enough to go out to work, they’re old enough to pay taxes’, Prime Minister Keir Starmer told ITV News. ‘If you pay in, you should have the opportunity to say what you want your money spent on, which way…
Members of the Russia- and China-led Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) emphasized their collective support for “development” and “reconstruction” of Afghanistan during their meeting this week, effectively confirming collaboration with the Taliban to enrich the country under the regime.

The producer price index, which focuses on domestic prices and excludes imports, was flat for the month. The year-over-year change is now a decline of 0.2 percent, compared with a year-over-year increase of 1.7 percent in February.…

So, that was part of the problem.” “But now, those types of funding mechanisms aren’t even going to exist anymore,” because Republicans want to eliminate them. Subramanyam said, “We had some federal funding go to Texas to try to address some of the concerns about early warning signs and that money was squandered. It was not spent…
