Russian missile and drone strikes on Kyiv killed at least 12 people and injured 90 others<\/a> yesterday. The attack prompted President Trump to express rare disapproval of Moscow.<\/p>\n \u201cVladimir, STOP!\u201d Trump posted on social media, addressing Russia\u2019s president, Vladimir Putin. \u201cI am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary, and very bad timing.\u201d<\/p>\n The attack came hours after Trump and his top aides had demanded that Ukraine\u2019s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, accept an American-designed plan that favored Russia.<\/p>\n Speaking in the Oval Office yesterday, Trump said that he had \u201cno allegiance\u201d to either side<\/a> and that his only goal was to stop the war and save lives, but he did claim that Putin had made a \u201cpretty big concession\u201d to end the conflict. When pressed on what that concession was, Trump replied, \u201cstopping taking the whole country.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Crimea:<\/strong> Trump may acknowledge Russia\u2019s claim to Crimea. Doing so would abandon a decade of U.S. foreign policy and set a dangerous precedent<\/a> of formal American recognition for the changing of one country\u2019s border by force by another country. In Ukraine, the very idea is a nonstarter.<\/a><\/p>\n Diplomacy:<\/strong> Europeans see the future of Ukraine as vital to their own. Officials say they are prepared to keep supporting Kyiv<\/a> should the U.S. walk away from peace negotiations.<\/p>\n A general jailed:<\/strong> Maj. Gen. Ivan Popov, who was fired for complaining about battlefield problems to Russia\u2019s military leadership, was sentenced to five years in prison<\/a> on a corruption charge.<\/p>\n Pakistan closed its airspace to Indian carriers and said it would order India to reduce its diplomatic staff in Islamabad and suspend all trade with India. India has not officially identified any group as being behind the attack on Tuesday near the town of Pahalgam, and Pakistan has denied any involvement.<\/p>\n But across Pakistan, people are worried as Indian officials hint at the possibility of military strikes. Television reports have been filled with defense analysts warning of unpredictable consequences if hostilities intensify.<\/p>\n Details:<\/strong> After India suspended a critical water treaty<\/a>, Pakistan said any attempt to block rivers would be \u201cconsidered an act of war.\u201d Pakistan relies on water from the Indus river system, which flows through India, for about 90 percent of its agriculture. Here\u2019s what else to know<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Vatican yesterday released the first image of Pope Francis\u2019 tomb<\/a>, a simple, undecorated resting place, in accordance with his will. The tomb is made with marble and marked with the inscription, \u201cFranciscus.\u201d<\/p>\n Tens of thousands of Catholics have paid their respects to Francis, whose body has laid in state in St. Peter\u2019s Basilica. His funeral will take place tomorrow. Here\u2019s what to expect<\/a>.<\/p>\n One of the best digital detectives goes by the handle ZachXBT, and is a well-known figure in the crypto world. In 2024, he received an alert about an unusual transaction and quickly traced it to a Bitcoin wallet with roughly $240 million in crypto.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n For centuries, it was thought that William Shakespeare left his wife and children behind to lead a literary life in London. But new research undermines that view of him as a distant, neglectful husband to his wife, Anne Hathaway.<\/p>\n The new clues about their relationship come from a fragment of a 17th-century letter addressed to a \u201cMrs Shakspaire,\u201d which was found in 1978 in the binding of a book published in 1608.
