Cohen's testimony is a month or more away.
Every year on April 26, the International Day of Remembrance of the Chornobyl Disaster commemorates the anniversary of the worst nuclear accident in human history.
Exactly 38 years ago, an explosion and fire at the Chornobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine led to the release of radioactive fallout into the atmosphere. Dozens of people died immediately after the disaster, and the long-term death toll from radiation poisoning is estimated in the thousands. The consequences for people and the environment persist to this day.
On this day, we honor the memory of all the victims of this dreadful catastrophe🕯️
88-year-old man flees from TOT on his own
An 88-year-old man known only as Ivan who lived in the village of Ocheretyne, Donetsk Oblast, has managed to get out of the occupied territory on his own. The russians had taken his Ukrainian-issued passport away in order to replace it with a russian one.
Vadym Filashkin, Head of Donetsk Oblast Military Administration, said that volunteers met the old man in Ukrainian territory and helped him reach the town of Pokrovsk in Donetsk Oblast.
"Ivan spent the whole night walking to a crossing. Since there were attacks, he had to wait them out. And then he kept going.
All he had was his pension certificate and a backpack with his belongings,"
Filashkin said.
Ivan is being evacuated to a temporary shelter in the city of Dnipro. Later, he will be transferred to a social protection institution, where he will be provided with housing and any help he needs.

The US believes that the new aid will allow Ukraine to seize the initiative
A new $1 billion package of U.S. military aid was announced after a months-long hiatus during which Russian forces launched a large-scale offensive in eastern Ukraine.
"Ukrainian troops have been rationing their ammunition and resources for a long time. Therefore, Russian troops have essentially seized the initiative," commented a senior U.S. defense official.
In his opinion, assistance from the United States and other countries "will allow the Ukrainians to start seizing the initiative," but "it will not be a quick process."

Trumps mouth. He has another second gag order hearing. Way to make the judge happy.
Good morning Resisters. 100% chance of rain. Thunderstorms. Yesterday so much rain we were moving at 40 mph on the divided highway.
Looks like Trump's attorney didn't just step in is. He laid down and rolled around in it.

Allied countries asked Greece to send S-300 or Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine. However, Greece will not supply them because the country says it needs them for their own defense.
"Let me explain it a little more in detail: Greece has supported Ukraine in various ways, with defense material. But we have said from the first moment that we cannot dispose of weapons systems which are critical to our deterrent capability. We have surplus material with which we can support Ukraine, we have done so and I think it is the right choice. And, to the extent that we can find such material, we will continue to do so. However, the air defense systems, to which you referred, are critical systems for the protection of the Greek airspace and will not be granted to Ukraine," Prime Minister Mitsotakis said.
