Rishi Sunak blasts Russia’s ‘new low’ as MI6 investigates Ukraine dam explosion

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:13:31 GMT

ON BOARD THE PRIME MINISTER’S JET — U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said Tuesday’s attack on the Nova Kakhovka dam in Ukraine would constitute a “new low” if shown to be the work of Russian forces.Speaking onboard a British government plane to Washington D.C. as he prepares for his first White House summit with U.S. President Joe Biden, Sunak said British military and intelligence agencies were examining the evidence but that it was “too soon” to make a “definitive judgement” about the cause of the dam’s collapse. But, he added, if proven to be an intentional act “it would represent the largest attack on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine since the start of the war” and “demonstrate new lows” in terms of Russian aggression. Sunak added that while he expected to discuss the latest developments in the war with Biden on Thursday, the immediate response would be humanitarian as thousands are evacuated from the Kherson region amid serious flooding....

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:13:31 GMT

Dr. Christopher Ahmad had a busy night planned in the Bronx on Tuesday.The physician was scheduled to meet with several injured Yankees, most notably Aaron Judge. Judge injured his right big toe while making a gate-breaking catch at Dodger Stadium on Saturday, and he was not in the lineup Sunday or Tuesday.The Yankees had an off day on Monday, during which Judge underwent testing. Still, Aaron Boone didn’t provide much of an update when he met with reporters before Tuesday’s game against the White Sox at Yankee Stadium.“Not really,” the manager said when asked if there’s anything new with Judge. “He’s doing better today.”Boone added that Judge received treatment on Tuesday and that swelling has improved. But when asked if it was made clear to him whether or not Judge’s toe is broken, the skipper didn’t want to comment on what “the preliminary tech reads.”“We’ll get the real reads tonight, and the han...

Citizens embark on chaotic scramble to escape floodwaters after Ukraine dam breach

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:13:31 GMT

By MSTYSLAV CHERNOV (Associated Press)KHERSON, Ukraine (AP) — As shelling from Russia’s war on Ukraine echoed overhead, dozens of evacuees on an island in the Dnieper River scurried onto the tops of military trucks or into rafts to flee rising floodwaters caused by the breach of a dam upstream. The unnerving bark of dogs left behind further soured the mood of those ferried to safety. A woman in one raft clutched the head of her despondent daughter. A stalled military truck stuck in swelling waters raised the panic level as Red Cross teams tried to manage an orderly evacuation.Nobody knew just how high the waters rushing through a gaping hole in the Kakhovka dam would rise, or whether people or pets would escape alive. The scrambled evacuation by boat and military truck from an island neighborhood off the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson downstream on Tuesday testified to the latest human chaos caused by Russia’s war in Ukraine.Ukrainian authorities accused Russia...
