Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:11:33 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he has received a letter informing him that he is a target of the Justice Department’s investigation into efforts to undo the results of the 2020 presidential election.Trump made the claim in a post on his Truth Social platform, saying he received the target letter on Sunday night.

They oppose Putin. But Ukrainians won’t work with them.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:11:33 GMT

As Russia launched its full-scale war on Ukraine last year, the head of a Washington think tank found out the hard way about one of the more surprising fissures between Russians and Ukrainians.Alina Polyakova, who runs the Center for European Policy Analysis, wanted to start a fellowship for Ukrainian civil society leaders as well as Russian dissidents. But she and the center faced immediate blowback from Ukrainians who questioned why any positions would go to Russians — even Russians who oppose the rule of Vladimir Putin.“It was very controversial, because some Ukrainians still have the view that there’s no such thing as a good Russian,” said Polyakova, a Ukrainian American. The argument, which Polyakova appreciates, is that available resources “should go to support Ukrainian civil society.”The dust-up over the fellowship program illustrates a broader phenomenon: Despite their mutual fury toward Putin, Ukrainian activists and Russian dissidents are largely avoiding each other. Ther...

UK presses ahead with cuts to troop numbers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:11:33 GMT

LONDON — The British Ministry of Defence has confirmed it will cut troop numbers from 82,000 to 73,000 by 2025 — despite opposition from parts of the armed forces and the Labour party.The cuts, included in an updated defense command paper published Tuesday, will allow the government to save about £5 billion, and mean the army will employ 28 percent fewer troops by 2025 than the 102,000 it did in 2010, when the Conservatives took office. Unveiling the plan, Ben Wallace — who will step down from government in the next Cabinet reshuffle — argued that the Ukrainian war has shown a relatively small force can be highly effective if it is properly equipped and trained.“As Russia has so effectively proven, there is no point having parade ground armies, mass ranks of men and machines if they cannot be integrated as a single full spectrum force, sustained in the field under all the demands of modern war fighting,” he told the House of Commons. “That takes professional forces – wel...

LONDON (AP) — A vessel that will house up to 500 asylum-seekers arrived Tuesday in England after Parliament passed its long-debated bill to curb migration. The barge Bibby Stockholm was pulled by a tug into Portland harbor, off the southwest coast of England, after the government’s controversial legislation overcame resistance in the House of Lords and was passed.The vessel and the bill are both parts of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s strategy to stop migrants from making risky English Channel crossings in small boats. The legislation will become law after receiving the assent of King Charles III.The Conservative government has pledged to “stop the boats” — overcrowded dinghies and other small craft that cross from northern France carrying migrants who hope to live in the U.K. More than 45,000 people crossed the Channel to Britain in 2022; several died in the attempt. The bill is intended to deter those journeys and will prevent migrants from claiming asylum in the U.K. if they arrive...

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — U.S. officials say an American detained after crossing the border from South Korea into North Korea was a U.S. soldier.There were no immediate details about how or why the soldier crossed the heavily fortified border or whether the soldier was on duty. The four officials spoke to The Associated Press on Tuesday on the condition of anonymity to discuss the matter ahead of a public announcement.Cases of Americans or South Koreans defecting to North Korea are rare, though more than 30,000 North Koreans have fled to South Korea to avoid political oppression and economic difficulties since the end of the 1950-53 Korean War.The crossing happened during heightened tensions over North Korea’s nuclear program. The American-led U.N. Command overseeing the area tweeted earlier Tuesday that the detained U.S. citizen was on a tour to the Korean border village of Panmunjom and crossed the border into the North without authorization.It said that he is currently in N...
