I'm a responsible driver. I support legislation to help prevent irresponsible people from getting behind the wheel. This means preventing DUIs, reckless driving, or unsafe cars. What's my point?

This: Responsible gun ownership requires supporting legislation to help prevent irresponsible people from having easy access to firearms. If you're not willing to ensure that happens, you're not a responsible gun owner, & you are part of the problem of epidemic gun violence in America.

Oleksandra Ustinova, head of the Verkhovna Rada Temporary Select Committee on Monitoring the Supply of Arms and Other Assistance to Ukraine, explains why it is impossible to accuse Ukraine of reselling weapons from Western partners. She states that the Americans are interested in weapons that pose a technical hazard, such as Javelins and Stingers, and Ukraine provides detailed information about each unit they have. Additionally, Ukraine has a tracking system using GPS trackers and BAR codes, and in case of loss of such weapons, they pass on the serial number to their partners so that these weapons do not appear somewhere in Iran and they are not accused of selling them.

Counterintelligence uncovered and apprehended an FSB agent in Odesa. The former serviceman had been gathering intelligence on the military training of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the southern region and monitoring the delivery of supplies to the army through seaports. In exchange for carrying out these hostile activities, the traitor was hoping to receive a $200,000 apartment in the illegally occupied Crimea from the occupiers.

Why is there an increasing amount of discussion surrounding the potential renaming of Povitroflotsky Prospekt to European Union Avenue? The name Povitroflotskyi has been a remnant of the past since the 1920s, and has survived the Soviet Union and more than 30 years of Ukrainian independence. However, the successor to this air fleet is now attacking Ukraine and Kyiv, causing death and destruction. The idea of renaming the avenue to European Union Avenue is now being actively supported by public figures and intellectuals, as the EU has been a strong supporter of Ukraine since the beginning of the war, and European integration has become a priority for the country. Additionally, the avenue leads to Sikorsky Airport, which is used by many Kyiv residents to travel to the EU in peacetime. The war has highlighted the need for Ukraine to move away from its post-Soviet past and embrace the European direction, and Povitroflotskyi has outlived its usefulness and must follow the Russian ship.
