WorkWorkWas an Antiwar Russian Tricked Into Carrying Out an Assassination Plot? - The New Yorker (No paywall)
  On the afternoon of April 2, 2023, the Russian propagandist Vladlen Tatarsky delivered a talk to a pro-war discussion group at a café in St. Petersburg called Street Food Bar No. 1. Tatarsky, whose real name was Maxim Fomin, was a former convict and had been a pro-Russian militia fighter in the Donbas. A Ukrainian, he once said, was just “a mentally ill Russian.” On his Telegram channel, which had more than half a million followers, he called for “a full destruction of the Ukrainian state.” During the question-and-answer session at Street Food Bar No. 1, an audience member, a young woman in a black coat, presented Tatarsky with a statuette: a small gilded bust of Tatarsky himself—a vanity present from a would-be admirer. “What a handsome fellow,” Tatarsky said. Moments later, the figurine exploded, spraying a cloud of dust and glass, and leaving the café a blackened shell. Tatarsky was killed; dozens were injured.

WorkBiden says 'my memory is fine,' disputes special counsel's report in national address

WorkPutin Calls on U.S. to ‘Negotiate’ on Ukraine in Tucker Carlson Interview
 Much of the interview constituted a familiar Kremlin history lesson about Russia’s historical claim to Eastern European lands, beginning in the ninth century, that Mr. Putin made little effort to distill for American ears. He opined on artificial intelligence, Genghis Khan and the Roman Empire. He also laid out his well-worn and spurious justifications for invading Ukraine, asserting that Russia’s goal was to “stop this war” that he claims the West is waging against Russia.
WorkA New General Takes Over as Ukraine Struggles on the Battlefield
 General Syrsky is assuming command of the military after the front line has hardened, as rapid advances by Ukraine’s troops seem a distant prospect, amid deep uncertainty over the future of military aid from the country’s most important ally, the United States, and as a plan to mobilize more soldiers in Ukraine has stalled, complicating military planning.

 Mr. Biden’s comments revealed his increasing frustration with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, known by his nickname Bibi, making public what has been clear in private for weeks.
