Quick Glance: Defense Secretary Austin Affirms Long-Term U.S. Support for Ukraine Amid Congressional Funding Standstill
  • Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin emphasized on Tuesday that the U.S. will continue to support Ukraine's efforts in the war against Russia, even as the U.S. Congress remains stuck due to funding reluctance to send additional weapons to the front.

  • The conference took place a week after U.S. defense officials found and utilized $300 million in contract savings to finance a new package of military aid for Ukraine by extracting weapons from Pentagon stocks.

  • U.S. leaders had stated in the past three months that they could not take more weapons off the shelves because they lacked the money to replenish the stocks. The Congress has been deadlocked for months over a new $95 billion supplemental bill that includes about $60 billion in aid for Ukraine.

  • UNESCO indicates that Ukraine requires over a billion dollars to reconstruct its scientific infrastructure.

Quick Glance: North Korea's Kim Supervises 'Super-Large' Rocket Launcher Drills
  • North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw live-fire drills involving 'newly-equipped super-large' multiple rocket launchers.

  • The drills aimed to test the 'real war capabilities' of the 600-millimeter multiple rocket launchers and included simulating an aerial explosion of a shell at a predetermined altitude above the target.

  • Kim emphasized that the rocket launchers would be the 'core central striking means' in war preparations and that the army should possess destructive offensive means to block and suppress the possibility of war.

  • North Korea is banned from testing ballistic missiles due to long-running sanctions, and the latest tests were seen as the regime's attempt to demonstrate strength, signal costs on the Korean Peninsula for security cooperation, and warn Washington against increased pressure.

Quick Glance: Earth Records Hottest February and Ninth Consecutive Record Month
  • Earth just experienced its warmest February, marking a monthly record for the ninth consecutive time, as announced by the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service on Wednesday.

  • The relentless and exceptional global warmth, driven by human-caused warming and the El Niño climate pattern, has affected both land and ocean areas since June, raising concerns among scientists about the planet surpassing a critical climate threshold and the potential for an active Atlantic hurricane season.

  • The month's average global air temperature of 13.5 degrees Celsius was 0.12 degrees warmer than the previous warmest February in 2016. The warmth of the past 12-month period is unprecedented in modern records, standing at 1.56 degrees warmer than preindustrial levels.

  • The new temperature records emerged just a month after the planet's 12-month average temperature exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels for the first time, leading scientists to worry about the increased likelihood of reaching tipping points with catastrophic consequences if the Earth's temperature remains near or above that threshold for extended periods.
