1 month ago CNA

Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said the priorities were to protect his country's skies, bolster promised tank supplies and ensure ammunition stocks. Ukraine's Western supporters - spearheaded by the United States - have already supplied billions of dollars of arms to help Kyiv hold Moscow back. Ukrainian officials sparked speculation Kyiv's forces could be getting ready to withdraw after a gruelling months-long battle by restricting access for aid workers. Allies continue to raid their shelves for the rounds - especially 155-millimetre shells - that Ukraine is firing by the thousands each day.

Brazil election officials brace for tense Sunday vote as Bolsonaro cries foul

"There is apprehension about whether the election result will be respected," said J.P. Morgan equity strategist Emy Shayo. He accused the court of mishandling a complaint that radio stations had given Lula more air time for campaign ads. The TSE rejected the complaint in a Wednesday ruling due to lack of evidence and asked Brazil's top prosecutor to investigate the Bolsonaro campaign for possible intent to disrupt the election. Another son, Congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro, told journalists that to address the issue properly might require postponing the election. Senior Bolsonaro campaign officials have said publicly that a postponement of the election is not up for discussion.

Soccer-Leipzig one step closer to last 16 after 3-2 win over Real Madrid

(Reuters) -RB Leipzig took a big step towards the Champions League knockout stage with a 3-2 home win over an under-strength Real Madrid side thanks to goals from Josko Gvardiol, Christopher Nkunku and Timo Werner on Tuesday. With Real Madrid having already qualified for the last 16, manager Carlo Ancelotti rested several regular starters and his side were dominated early on by the young Leipzig team. Vinicius Jr got Real back into the game just before the break with a header that went just inside the left post. "We knew Madrid were strong on the ball and there would be phases where we were pushed back," said Werner. We have it in our own hands (to go through to the last 16) and don't even need to win against Shakhtar now."
