(CNN) — Es posible que Estados Unidos haya evitado un cierre del Gobierno este sábado, pero la falta de fondos adicionales para Ucrania en el proyecto de ley de gastos ha dejado nerviosos a algunos residentes de la nación devastada por la guerra.Aunque el presidente de Estados Unidos Joe Biden elogió el acuerdo alcanzado por los legisladores, también reconoció la falta de nuevos fondos para Ucrania y prometió que Washington “no se alejará” de Kyiv. Mientras tanto, un grupo bipartidista de líderes en el Senado de Estados Unidos también prometió votar sobre más ayuda para Ucrania.Para algunos en Kyiv, la capital de Ucrania, el drama que ha envuelto al Congreso durante la semana pasada es poco más que ruido mientras la guerra continúa.“Estos son juegos internos estadounidenses. Y Ucrania es rehén de esta discusión: esta guerra interna”, dijo a CNN el militar ucraniano Volodymyr Kostiak este domingo, un feriado nacional que marca el Día de los Defensores para honrar a los veterano...

Leaked doc shows Biden admin is more worried about Ukraine corruption than it says publicly

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:02:53 GMT

Biden administration officials are far more worried about corruption in Ukraine than they publicly admit, a confidential U.S. strategy document obtained by POLITICO suggests.The “sensitive but unclassified” version of the long-term U.S. plan lays out numerous steps Washington is taking to help Kyiv root out malfeasance and otherwise reform an array of Ukrainian sectors. It stresses that corruption could cause Western allies to abandon Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s invasion, and that Kyiv cannot put off the anti-graft effort.“Perceptions of high-level corruption” the confidential version of the document warns, could “undermine the Ukrainian public’s and foreign leaders’ confidence in the war-time government.”That’s starker than the analysis available in the little-noticed public version of the 22-page document, which the State Department appears to have posted on its website with no fanfare about a month ago.The confidential version of the “Integrated Country Strategy” is abo...

Back to Summer?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:02:53 GMT

Smoky skies blotted out the sun for a while Sunday, but the sunshine did come back from northwest to southeast throughout the day. While some smoke lingers in the sky, providing a bit of haze from time to time, it’ll be a nice day overall as highs recover into the lower 70s for many. That’s a bit above average for the time of year. Tomorrow will be well above average as a summer session is in store as highs head for the low to mid 80s for many. While we may fall just shy of records, it’ll be close, and certainly more of a late August feel to the air vs. October. Wednesday will be quite warm too, although we’ll sea breeze at the coast, knocking temps back into the lower 70s there. Thursday is still mild and dry, with highs in the 70s. The next rain chance runs in here late Friday, into Saturday, with scattered showers and storms moving in. Sunday and Monday are likely dry and cooler, with a gusty breeze Sunday.
