Ukraine has lost some eight gigawatts of electricity production because of the strikes, he said — approaching half of what this country more than 30 million, the size of Texas, needs during peak periods.E.U. sets precedent with plan to use profits from frozen Russian assetsU.S. news:USS Carney had ‘seconds’ to respond to anti-ship ballistic missilesChallenges abound, but aid moves into GazaWhile 569 metric tons of aid have landed off the Defense Department's Joint Logistics, Over-the-Shore pier in Gaza, getting the aid to the Palestinian people has been a problem, officials said today.Pentagon Press Secretary Air Force Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters that aid is making it ashore and the amount of aid should quickly increase as the process continues.The problem with delivery comes as desperate Palestinians have been mobbing the trucks after they leave the marshalling yards. Ryder said there have been discussions among the U.S., Israel and the United Nations on efforts "to identify alternative routes for the safe movement of staff and cargo." Never, ever give up segment links:I call it the "Never, ever give up segment” because we must never ever give up as a country (though we face great division, a massive debt burden, and probably future problems that none of us could even predict. But we must never give up as a country.And I believe we must stay united. And also as individuals, we must never, ever give up. We’ve got family and friends counting on us, so in this section, I’m going to share some motivation to help encourage you.I’d like to begin by honoring a Medal of Honor recipient. If you don’t know, the Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration you can possibly earn in the military, and it’s awarded to service members who have distinguished themselves by acts of valor.The medal is typically awarded by the President of the United States, upon the recommendation of the Armed Services. I share these Medal of Honor stories to remind us of the sacrifices that have been made through the nearly 250 years of American history. Through so many major wars, more than 1 million Americans have sacrificed their lives and died, getting us to this place and time. In wars such as ...

I really hope you get something out of it. Selected source notes for podcast and transcript above.Ukraine news:Gift link to NYTimes: White House Worries Russia’s Momentum Is Changing Trajectory of Ukraine WarUkraine has been able to use that recaptured territory near Kharkiv to conduct harassing attacks into Russia. Those attacks have prompted the Russians to retake land in recent weeks to create a buffer zone that Mr. Putin has said will make cross-border attacks harder for Ukraine to carry out. Recently, the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence agency has called the Russian advance near Kharkiv “critical.”Some outside experts caution that Russia’s real strategic aim in taking territory around Kharkiv is to force Ukraine’s troops to move to reinforce the city, weakening the front lines elsewhere. That could set up an opportunity for another Russian drive in June, in the Donbas, the part of eastern Ukraine that the Kremlin has illegally annexed and is trying to capture.“The Russian offensive aim is likely to draw Ukrainian reserves and elite units, then pin them in Kharkiv, thereby weakening the rest of the front,” Mr. Kofman said. “The primary Russian objective still remains recapturing the rest of the Donbas.”Gift link to Wash Post: Why Russian troops are suddenly able to advance toward KharkivGermany to buy three US HIMARS launchers for Ukraine for $30 millionU.S. news:Pentagon orders all US combat troops to withdraw from NigerNever, ever give up segment links:I call it the "Never, ever give up segment” because we must never ever give up as a country (though we face great division, a massive debt burden, and probably future problems that none of us could even predict.
