Putin says Western-made tanks are ‘priority targets’ on the battlefield in war with Ukraine

President Vladimir Putin has said that foreign-made tanks are a “priority target” for Moscow’s forces.

Mr Putin, in comments to state television, also reaffirmed his stance that Ukraine joining NATO would threaten Russia’s own security and escalate global tensions further.

“The supply of new weapons will only aggravate the situation… and will further fuel the conflict,” Mr Putin said.

Asked about France’s decision to supply Ukraine with long-range cruise missiles which can travel 155 miles, he said: “Yes, they cause damage, but nothing critical happens in the war zone with their use.”

Mr Putin added that foreign-made tanks were “a priority target for our guys”.

Meanwhile Joe Biden has said that there is no real prospect of Vladimir Putin using nuclear weapons against Ukraine or the West.

“Not only the West, but China and the rest of the world have said: don’t go there,” Mr Biden said at a press conference in Helsinki with Finnish President Sauli Niinisto.

The US president was commenting on the likelihood of a nuclear strike amid growing instability in Moscow.

What Australia can learn from NZ’s supermarket inquiry

Published

on

Coles and Woolworths, two of Australia’s largest supermarket chains, are about to face a Senate inquiry that aims to scrutinise their market dominance and business practices.

The inquiry’s parallels with a past New Zealand investigation highlight the growing concern over the duopoly’s impact on consumers and smaller businesses.

The Senate inquiry, set to begin next month, comes as a response to mounting public pressure and allegations of anti-competitive behavior in the grocery sector.

New Zealand example

Similar concerns led New Zealand to conduct its own inquiry into the supermarket industry back in 2019, resulting in recommendations for increased regulation and transparency.

The central question here is whether Coles and Woolworths wield too much power in the Australian market, potentially stifling competition and limiting choices for consumers.

With the New Zealand example as a cautionary tale, many are wondering if this inquiry will result in meaningful changes to the Australian grocery landscape.

Elon Musk has thrown a verbal jab at former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, declaring her political campaign as “dead” on X.

The unexpected comment from the Tesla and SpaceX CEO has ignited a new wave of discussion within the political sphere, leaving many wondering about the implications for Haley’s political future.

In a tweet that garnered significant attention, Musk criticized Haley’s recent policy stance, writing, “Nikki Haley’s campaign is dead on arrival if she continues to ignore the urgency of climate change.

We need leaders who prioritize the planet’s future.” The tech mogul’s remarks come as Haley, a prominent Republican figure, has been exploring the possibility of running for president in the upcoming election cycle.

Musk’s statement has reignited the debate over climate change within the Republican Party, with many conservatives emphasizing economic interests over environmental concerns.

This raises questions about whether Musk’s endorsement or critique could influence the GOP’s stance on climate issues and potentially impact the 2024 presidential race.
