As the Ukraine war lingers on, Ukraine’s military advances are the main focus.

Putin’s inability to align his desired political outcomes with the capacity of his military on the frontline in Ukraine, is more obvious than ever.

Russia no longer has control of any of the provinces it claimed to have “annexed” recently.

Ukraine’s counteroffensive is now making advances in the east, pushing into the Luhansk region.

Forces are also reportedly breaking into the southern area of Kherson.

It comes as a key advisor to Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky says they plan on liberating all of their territory.

The U.S. has announced an additional $625 million in security assistance for Ukraine.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says it will help to boost Ukraine’s military might.

It follows a phone call between President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky.

After the call, Biden Tweeted:

“Today I spoke with President Zelenskyy to underscore that the U.S. will never recognize Russia’s annexation of Ukrainian territory.

“I reaffirmed my commitment to continue supporting Ukraine, including through today’s new $625 million security assistance package”

A top Russian diplomat was quick to hit back at the additional funding, saying

“The US continues to pump more weapons into Ukraine, facilitating the direct participation of its fighters in the conflict,”

Adding “it brings the situation closer to a dangerous line of a direct military clash between Russia and NATO.”

Appeals court blocks Trump’s attempt to remove Lisa Cook from Federal Reserve ahead of crucial interest rate meeting

In Short:
– A federal appeals court has blocked Trump’s attempt to remove Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve board.
– Trump’s expected Supreme Court appeal raises concerns about the Federal Reserve’s independence and market stability.

A federal appeals court has blocked President Donald Trump’s attempt to remove Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve board.

The decision comes just before a crucial meeting regarding potential interest rate changes.The court determined that the Trump administration did not meet the requirements for an appeal against a prior ruling that had already blocked Cook’s removal.

Cook has faced allegations of mortgage fraud, which she denies. Her lawyers assert she has not committed any wrongdoing, and documentation reviewed by NBC News supports her position.

Trump is expected to appeal this ruling to the Supreme Court.

The legal context for Cook’s position at the Federal Reserve highlights that removal can only occur “for cause,” under the Federal Reserve Act. Analysts warn that firing Cook may destabilise the Federal Reserve, which is critical for market stability.
