Quick Glance: US Sending New Patriot Missiles to Ukraine

As part of a massive $6 billion additional aid package, the U.S. will provide Ukraine with additional Patriot missiles for its air defense systems, announced Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Friday.

Discussing the need for Patriots, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy participated in the Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting on Friday morning, where about 50 countries virtually gathered in a Pentagon-led session.

Included in the new funding, the largest tranche of USAI aid sent so far, are the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) as well as Switchblade and Puma drones, counter-drone systems, and artillery.

Months of deadlock among bitterly divided members of Congress over the funding led to House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., having to form a bipartisan coalition to pass the bill.

The company based in Frankfurt was instructed by the provincial environment ministry on April 18 to investigate the cause of the leak at its factory in Ontario.

The Aamjiwnaang First Nation community, housing around 1,000 individuals, has been surrounded by industrial facilities and has been vocal about environmental concerns.

The emergency declaration coincides with the gathering of thousands of delegates in Ottawa this week for the United Nations plastics treaty talks aimed at curbing the escalating plastic pollution.

Quick Glance: Honda to Establish $11 Bln EV, Battery Plants in Canada

Honda plans to invest C$15 billion in new EV and battery production plants in Ontario alongside existing facilities to support the growth of North American demand for EVs.

Production is set to start by 2028, with an annual capacity of up to 240,000 EVs and 36 gigawatt-hours for batteries to achieve the goal of having all North American sales from Honda be either EVs or fuel cell vehicles by 2040.

The Canadian government and Ontario province intend to support Honda with around C$5 billion, with Honda contributing 60%-70% of the total investment to reduce costs by more than 20%.

Honda will also collaborate with companies like Asahi Kasei and POSCO to further lower production costs and strengthen the EV supply chain in Canada, leading to an increase in jobs and economic growth.

Quick Glance: Detention of Russia's Deputy Defense Minister on Suspicion of High Treason

Timur Ivanov, Russia's deputy defense minister, is suspected of high treason and bribery, facing a possible 15-year sentence.

Ivanov's arrest sparked speculation about a potential purge within Moscow's elite circle, especially given his close relationships with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.

Independent Russian media outlets report corruption allegations against Ivanov and his family, stemming from kickbacks on ministry-related contracts.

Ivanov is also alleged to have profited from construction projects in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, which fell under Moscow's control after a prolonged siege. His arrest came shortly after a meeting with Shoigu and other defense ministry officials.
