IMF approved $2.2 billion in additional funding for Ukraine under its existing loan program. However, one of the terms dictates that the country should step up its fight against corruption, since concern has been growing over reports of officials pocketing millions of Western aid dollars.

The US State Department spokesperson referred to the Vietnam War as 'ancient history.' Around 60,000 Americans died during that 'ancient history', which ended less than 50 years ago (so not that ‘ancient’ apparently). The death toll of Vietnamese people stands in the millions, and the exact number of war crimes committed by the US army is difficult to calculate.

Joe Biden introduced ‘President Putin’ on stage at an event yesterday. ‘Putin,’ who was in fact Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, was unable to contain his contempt. ‘Putin’s’ fellow leaders on stage could barely contain their somewhat inevitable disappointment.

Israel is on the brink of war with Hezbollah, after a rocket attack on a soccer field left at least 11 dead, most of whom were children. The attack came in Majdal Shams, in the Golan Heights region, in the northwest of Israel near the borders with Lebanon and Syria. Hezbollah and Israel have traded rocket fire in the region since the start of the war in Gaza, however those attacks have escalated in recent weeks. The attack came, apparently, after Israeli forces launched airstrikes against Hezbollah, killing three. Hezbollah responded with rocket attacks on a nearby Israeli military base, however they deny the rocket attack on the soccer field.

The strike has pushed tensions between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah beyond breaking point, with Israel now promising a ‘disproportionate response.’ Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz told local media that ‘There is no doubt that Hezbollah crossed all red lines,’ adding that, ‘we are facing an all-out war.’ He claimed that the response would have ‘full backing’ of Israel’s US and European allies, however would ‘not go into detail’ on the nature of the response.
