Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 15:31:38 GMT

Ukraine’s security service said Monday it had detained a Russian informant who planned to assassinate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy last month. The alleged informant “was preparing a Russian airstrike in the Mykolaiv region during the visit of the president of Ukraine,” the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) said.The woman was “gathering intelligence” about the “the time and list of locations of the approximate route” of Zelenskyy’s visit to Mykolaiv at the end of July. Based on the information, a “massive” Russian airstrike would have assassinated Zelenskyy, the SBU said.The plotter was caught “red-handed,” according to the SBU, while giving information to the Russians. The SBU subsequently increased security measures after the informant’s “subversive activities” were uncovered. The informant, who has not been named, had previously worked as a saleswoman in a military store and lived in the southern Ukrainian city of Ochakov.

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 15:31:38 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis said definitively that rival Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, an acknowledgement the Florida governor made after years of equivocating answers. “Of course he lost,” DeSantis said an interview with NBC News posted Monday. “Joe Biden’s the president.”DeSantis has often sidestepped questions about whether he believes the 2020 election results were legitimate. But in recent days he has started publicly questioning the lies that Trump and his allies have made about the election’s legitimacy.Federal and state election officials and Trump’s own attorney general said there was no credible evidence the election’s outcome was affected by fraud. The former president’s allegations were also roundly rejected by courts at the time, including judges he appointed.Last week, Trump was charged by Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith with four felonies related to his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 elec...

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 15:31:38 GMT

OTTAWA — Canada’s military has created a new program to gradually phase out its old housing benefit after hearing feedback from members who were set to lose the payments. The Armed Forces announced plans in March to create a new housing allowance that is based on salary, rather than where a soldier is posted. It was estimated the move would make thousands of people eligible for the new allowance while cutting off thousands of others.The military said that would result in a savings of $30 million a year.In an update to members, the director general of compensation and benefits says an interim program will phase out the old benefit with decreasing payments until July 2026. Brig.-Gen. Virginia Tattersall says eligible members will be enrolled automatically and should get a lump-sum payment to cover the summer months sometime in the fall. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 7, 2023.The Canadian Press
