Casualties include 14 people who have been sent to hospital

We reported in an earlier post that officials said at least 10 people were injured in a Russian attack on Kharkiv this morning.

Kharkiv oblast governor Oleh Syniehubov has now said that 23 people were injured in the Russian shelling, which occurred about 8:30am this morning in the central part of the Ukrainian city. He said 14 people were hospitalised. “Among them, five patients are in the surgical department, five are treated on an outpatient basis, two are referred for neurosurgical treatment. Two more people are being examined,” the governor wrote in a post on Telegram.

The overall percentage that is necessary to make the new plans executable is much closer to 3% of GDP than it is to 2%.

I expect that under the new (Donald) Trump administration (in the US), there will be a much more intense discussion about how much more Europe and Canada need to spend, and that is a healthy and valid discussion to be had.
