Quick Glance: Russia Aims to Capture Chasiv Yar by 9 May

Ukraine's top commander stated that Russian forces aimed to capture the town of Chasiv Yar by 9 May, marking a crucial battle for control of high ground in the east where Russia is directing its assaults.

The potential fall of the town before the Soviet Victory Day would signal increasing Russian battlefield momentum amid a slowdown in Western military aid to Kyiv.

Kyiv's brigades are currently holding back the assaults near Chasiv Yar and have received reinforcements in terms of ammunition, drones, and electronic warfare devices.

Recent escalations in the war have raised concerns about the resilience of Ukraine's energy system, with Russia conducting significant air strikes on Ukrainian power plants and substations.

Quick Glance: Parisian Mayor Rejects Russian, Belarusian Athletes for 2024 Olympics

Quick Glance: US Reporter Evan Gershkovich's One Year in Russian Jail

A year after Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was detained by Russian security forces on espionage charges, family, friends, and journalists commemorate the anniversary with readings of his articles and support campaigns.

Despite official press accreditation and years of reporting in Russia, Gershkovich was accused of obtaining state secrets, leading to international concerns and calls for his release.

His case echoes past events like the detention of Nicholas Daniloff in Moscow, as the US government continues efforts to secure Gershkovich's release and engages in potential prisoner exchange talks with Russia.

Despite ongoing court hearings and extensions of his pretrial detention, Gershkovich remains optimistic, reading books and even contemplating writing a novel post-release, while the US and Russia discuss potential exchange opportunities.
