Ukrainian military soldiers fire from the MT-12 or 2A29 gun "Rapira" is a Soviet smoothbore 100-mm anti-tank gun on December 7, 2023 in Avdiivka, Ukraine. Ukrainian troops are withdrawing from some areas of the eastern town of Avdiivka to seek better positions after months of intense combat. Moscow has devoted substantial battlefield resources to encircling and capturing the city, and Ukraine's dwindling supply lines have left its forces vulnerable. In a post on the Telegram messaging app on Thursday, the Third Assault Brigade confirmed it was "urgently redeployed to strengthen Ukrainian troops in the Avdiivka area," and describe the situation there as "hell," according to a Google translation. "The enemy continues the active rotation of its troops, and throws new forces and means into the city," it added.

Russian President Vladimir Putin attends an expanded meeting of the Defence Ministry Board at the National Defence Control Centre in Moscow, Russia December 19, 2023. Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed Moscow has no interest in expanding the war beyond Ukraine to the likes of Poland and Latvia. Putin made the comments in a two-hour interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and spoke in Russian, with Carlson's team providing the dubbed translation. It was his first interview with an American media outlet since Russia's invasion of Ukraine nearly two years ago. In the translated recording, Putin says he could only imagine a scenario in which Russia would send troops into Poland, a NATO member, if "Poland attacks Russia."

☆ European markets higher following UBS earnings; Swiss bank up 5%
  + stars: | 2023-08-31 | by ( Hannah Ward-Glenton | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
UBS on Thursday posted a second-quarter profit of $28.88 billion in its first quarterly earnings since Switzerland's largest bank completed its takeover of stricken rival Credit Suisse. UBS said the result primarily reflected $28.93 billion in negative goodwill on the Credit Suisse acquisition. Underlying profit before tax, which excludes negative goodwill, integration-related expenses and acquisition costs, came in at $1.1 billion. The fate of Credit Suisse's flagship Swiss bank, a key profit center for the group and the only division still generating positive earnings in 2022, was a focal point of the acquisition. The emergency rescue deal that saw UBS purchase Credit Suisse at a heavily discounted 3 billion Swiss francs was mediated by Swiss authorities over the course of a weekend in March.

An aerial view of the destruction of residential buildings on September 20, 2022 in Izium, Ukraine. Human Rights Watch on Wednesday accused both Russian and Ukrainian forces of causing civilian casualties through the use of cluster munitions. The organization found that Ukrainian cluster bomb attacks on Russian-controlled areas in and around the eastern Ukrainian city of Izium in 2022 caused multiple casualties among Ukrainian civilians, while Russian forces have "extensively" used cluster munitions in Ukraine, killing and injuring many civilians. "Cluster munitions used by Russia and Ukraine are killing civilians now and will continue to do so for many years," said Mary Wareham, acting arms director at Human Rights Watch. The U.S. government is considering a request from Ukraine for the transfer of stockpiled cluster munitions.

Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is seen as Russian militaryâs presence at nuclear power plant continues, on August 11, 2022, in Zaporizhzia, Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday that he had warned French President Emmanuel Macron that Russia was planning "dangerous provocations" at the Moscow-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. "Now we have information from our intelligence that the Russian military has placed objects resembling explosives on the roof of several power units of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. "But in any case, the world sees – can't but see – that the only source of danger to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is Russia and no one else." Russian troops seized the power station, Europe's largest nuclear facility, in the early days of the invasion in February 2022, and both sides have since frequently accused one another of endangering it via shelling.

The Bank of England last week forecast that the British economy would enter a shallow five-quarter recession in the first quarter of 2023. The U.K. economy posted zero growth for the fourth quarter of 2023, according to preliminary figures from the Office for National Statistics. In December, however, gross domestic product shrank by a larger-than-expected 0.5% month on month after two months of unexpected growth. The Bank of England last week forecast that the British economy would enter a shallow five-quarter recession in the first quarter of 2023. "We are still likely to be in a recession at some point during 2023 – which is still expected to be long and shallow - so these figures do not provide a huge amount of comfort."
