The Blame Game: Russia and Ukraine's Stalled Peace Efforts

Russia and Ukraine continue to exchange accusations over the faltering peace process, highlighting the complexities of resolving their ongoing conflict. Moscow has accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of obstructing diplomacy, while Kyiv claims Russian President Vladimir Putin is determined to prolong the war.  The issue of Crimea remains a major sticking point, with Zelensky refusing to recognize the peninsula as part of Russia, a stance that has drawn criticism from various quarters. Meanwhile, Russia's recent missile and drone strikes on Kyiv have intensified tensions, leading Ukrainian officials to assert that Moscow's actions undermine peace efforts.  Both sides appear entrenched in their positions, with Russia demanding concessions and Ukraine insisting on a just peace. As the conflict drags on, the prospects for meaningful negotiations seem increasingly bleak.  !

Southern U.S. Paralyzed by Record Snowfall: Thousands of Flights Cancelled

 

Thousands of flights were cancelled and travel was severely disrupted across the southern United States as a major winter storm brought the region's largest snowfall in almost four years.

The storm, which began on Thursday, drew Arctic air from the north and a surge of Gulf moisture from the south, creating a potent low-pressure system that blanketed states from Texas to the Carolinas with heavy snow. 

In Arkansas, the small town of Mena reported the highest snowfall total with 36 cm of snow, while Little Rock saw 20 cm, doubling its average annual snowfall. The historic snowfall also ended a 1,076-day snowless streak in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Air travel was heavily impacted, with nearly half of all flights into and out of Atlanta cancelled on Friday.The storm also caused significant highway delays and power outages in northeastern Texas and southwestern Arkansas.

As the storm continues to move through the southeast and Mid-Atlantic states, more disruptions are expected, with a swath of 5-15 cm of snow forecasted across the western Carolinas and southern Virginia.
