Ukraine is winning — and it is changing

Denys Shmyhal is the prime minister of Ukraine.What will Ukraine’s victory in this war look like?We often hear this question from our international partners. However, Ukraine is fighting an existential war — a war for  survival. Therefore, Russia’s aggression against our country is a zero-sum game. Russia wants to destroy Ukraine; Ukraine wants to survive. And under these circumstances, it’s difficult to find compromise.Today, for Ukraine, a stable and just peace is impossible without the implementation of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s ten-point peace plan, restoring the country’s territorial integrity, establishing justice and building a new European security architecture.The outcome of this war will not only determine how people will live in Ukraine, but also how they will live in the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, France or Lithuania in the years to come. It is a war for the future of Europe, and for the world order that has been so obviously viol...

Inside Chechnya’s gulag for gay men

YEREVAN, Armenia — It was winter and the apple trees that line the streets of Grozny were bare when Salman Mukayev’s phone rang. “I’m an officer with the Leninsky police department,” the voice on the other end said. “What is your name? How long have you been using this number? There has been some fraud on your account — we’d be grateful if you could come down to the station tomorrow to clear things up.”Mukayev, a 40-year-old shop assistant from the capital of Russia’s southern Chechnya region, had never had any problems with the authorities before. He turned off the phone and put it in a drawer.Then his wife got a call, he says. “He isn’t here,” she insisted, “he lives at another address. If you’re really investigators, you’ll have to find him for yourselves.”Two weeks later, they did. A black car pulled up outside Mukayev’s house and three men in dark uniforms climbed out. At least one was carrying a gun.Once inside the unassuming police station building, set back from the tower bl...

Ukraine’s communities need support for their green recovery

Laurence Tubiana is the chief executive of the European Climate Foundation and the former architect of the 2015 U.N. Paris Agreement on Climate ChangeIn the 21st century, standing alongside an invaded country requires more than providing diplomatic and military support. Thus, there’s a growing consensus that Europe must focus on a sustainable economic recovery for Ukraine.Along these lines, a new donor coordination body has just begun work to bring together international support for the country’s reconstruction. And last month, G7 nations confirmed they were backing “the sustainable and resilient recovery and green reconstruction of Ukraine.Rebuilding a prewar version of Ukraine would be unthinkable. An old-style economy based on fossil fuels means fragile sovereignty, and it would scare off investors wary of financing assets that belong in the last century. It would be no recovery at all.Renewables, however, are aligned with peace, security and independence for Ukraine. They are th...

Orioles bats build early lead, bullpen barely holds on in 8-6 win over Rays

Published Sun, 10 Nov 2024 20:52:38 GMT

In the first two innings Tuesday night, the Orioles made up for three seasons’ worth of struggles against Tyler Glasnow.Across six starts against Baltimore between 2018 and 2020, the Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher was 4-0 with a 2.08 ERA, not allowing more than two runs in any outing. Facing the 6-foot-8 right-hander again Tuesday, a hitter who was on a different American League East team for those dominant performances was the one who ended that streak in the first inning.Aaron Hicks, who has been one of Baltimore’s best hitters since joining the team after being cut by the New York Yankees, blasted a three-run home run in the first inning — the first of three long balls the Orioles hit as they built a seven-run lead. The advantage was barely large enough for their bullpen as Baltimore held on for an 8-6 win over Tampa Bay.A 7-0 lead is one that would normally have manager Brandon Hyde comfortable, but “not with the Rays,” he said. “That’s...
