“Peace On Russia's Terms”, Ukraine Jails Top Priest, US Sends $200mn Aid Freed From Pentagon "Error"

The Ukrainian courts have sentenced Anatolii Yeletskykh, a priest leading a Russian-backed church in the Vinnytsya region, to five years in prison on multiple counts, including supporting the Russian invasion and promoting racial and national discrimination. Following an accounting error, the US is set to allocate an initial $200 million of the discovered $6.2 billion to aid Ukraine with weaponry and defence equipment. Kyiv has exposed a network of female informants in Donetsk, allegedly associated with Russia's Federal Security Service and the Wagner group, gathering intelligence on Ukrainian military assets. Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to the Ukrainian government, suggests that true victory against Russia will only be realised when Russia undergoes significant transformation, which might necessitate a regime change.
