    The U.S. State Department on Monday used an emergency declaration for the first time during the Biden administration to approve the potential sale of $165 million worth of ammunition to Ukraine to help the country defend itself against Russia's ongoing invasion, the Pentagon said.

  • Poland buys Saudi diesel in record import spree fueled by Ukraine war: sources

    In a never-before seen move, long-range tanker Minerva Pisces recently carried around 95,000 mt of Saudi ULSD from Yanbu to Gdansk, while around 35,000 mt arrived from BP's Rotterdam refinery in the Netherlands, split over two parcels. It comes as EU member Poland, a strong supporter of Ukraine, steps up efforts to limit reliance on Russia -- before the war Poland had taken crude from as far afield as Iraqi Kurdistan -- and as Poland's PKN Orlen is in the process of selling Saudi Aramco a stake in the country's Number 2 refinery, Gdansk.

Those who cannot claim Israeli citizenship are given tourist visas and barred from working or from accessing many social benefits. The government has not announced long-term plans for their care in case the war drags on.

  • In Iran, Russia’s war on Ukraine is a political flash point

    Part of the Iranian government’s anger at Ukraine likely stems from the aftermath of the Guard’s 2020 shooting down of an Ukrainian airliner, which killed 176 people on board.
