Report: Ukrainian forces across key river, raising hopes

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:45:43 GMT

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian military forces have successfully established positions on the eastern side of the Dnieper River, according to a new analysis, giving rise to speculation Sunday that the advances could be an early sign of Kyiv’s long-awaited spring counteroffensive.The Institute for the Study of War, a Washington-based think tank, reported late Saturday that geolocated footage from pro-Kremlin military bloggers indicated that Ukrainian troops had established a foothold near the town of Oleshky, along with “stable supply lines” to their positions. Analysts widely believe that if Ukraine goes ahead with a spring counteroffensive, a major goal would be to break through the land corridor between Russia and the annexed Crimean Peninsula, which would necessitate crossing the Dnieper River in the country’s south.Responding to Ukrainian media reports proclaiming that the establishment of such positions indicated the counteroffensive had begun, Natalia Humeniuk, the...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:45:43 GMT

Dos tercios de los votantes de las primarias republicanas dicen que respaldan al expresidente Donald Trump y descartan las preocupaciones sobre su elegibilidad, a pesar de su reciente arresto criminal y las otras investigaciones legales sobre su conducta pasada, según una nueva encuesta nacional de NBC News.Eso, junto con su ventaja de dos dígitos sobre su posible rival republicano más cercano, el gobernador de Florida, Ron DeSantis, convierte a Trump en el claro favorito en la carrera inicial por la nominación presidencial republicana.El entusiasmo continuo del Partido Republicano por Trump contrasta con el descontento de una nación ansiosa por cómo se perfila la carrera de 2024. La mayoría sustancial de todos los estadounidenses no quiere que Trump o el presidente Joe Biden se postulen para presidente en 2024, lo que prepara una revancha de elecciones generales potencialmente divisiva y poco inspiradora entre los dos hombres, y se espera que Biden lance su candidatura a la reelecc...

Students seek to soothe mental health center halls, clients

FREDERICK, Md. (AP) — Some senior art students from St. John’s Catholic Prep stared intently at a mural of swooping green and purple mountains in the halls of the Mental Health Association of Frederick County.Paint brushes in hand, they expanded the landscape as they traced over old ridge lines with new ones. Some chatted with one another; some concentrated silently.Each student’s calculated stroke brought the larger scene into focus: a mountainous region with coolly colored expanses basked in warm orange-yellow sunlight.The hallways and mural lines all lead to a sun in the middle corridor, eclipsed by a majestically posed bird, standing on a tree branch with its beak held high.The bird was the idea and creation of St. John’s senior Juliana Workman, who stood a few feet away, painting a mountain.Workman said the bird embodies someone with confidence who has grown out of their mental struggles.“The fact that it’s against the sun and being highlighted by the sun, it’s absorbing all th...

Dying patients protest looming telehealth crackdown

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:45:43 GMT

At age 93, struggling with the effects of a stroke, heart failure and recurrent cancer, Teri Sheridan was ready to end her life using New Jersey’s law that allows medically assisted suicide — but she was bedbound, too sick to travel. So last Nov. 17, surrounded by three of her children, Sheridan drank a lethal dose of drugs prescribed by a doctor she had never met in person, only online. She died within minutes. Soon, others who seek Sheridan’s final option may find it out of reach, the unintended result of a federal move to roll back online prescribing of potentially addictive drugs allowed during the COVID-19 pandemic. “How much should one person suffer?” said Sheridan’s daughter, Georgene White, 68. “She wanted to just go to sleep and not wake up.”Online prescribing rules for controlled drugs were relaxed three years ago under emergency waivers to ensure critical medications remained available during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency has pro...
