The two countries signed 12 cooperation agreements spanning aerospace, green technology, nuclear energy and AI, signaling a deeper economic and diplomatic partnership.

The FBI has arrested suspect in the long-running probe of the pipe bombs placed in Washington D.C. on the evening of Jan. 6th 2021.

The gap remains especially wide over issues of territorial concessions, Ukraine’s future military capacity and its alignment with western institutions, making any immediate breakthrough unlikely.
