Ukraine & Bulgaria reach agreement on shipping Ukrainian grain

Ukraine and Bulgaria have reached an agreement on transporting Ukrainian grain via the Bulgarian port of Varna, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said today after talks with Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov.

He gave no timeline and provided no details of the volumes of grain to be shipped via Varna on the Black Sea.

"Bulgaria will be more than happy to have Varna as a logistics hub for grains and sunflowers and distribute all the grains that you cannot through your ports," Petkov told a joint news conference in Kyiv

US has evidence that Russian troops in the Donbas are executing Ukrainians even as they surrender, official says

The US has evidence that Russian troops in eastern Ukraine have executed people who are trying to surrender, a top US official told the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday.

"We now have credible information that a Russian military unit operating in the vicinity of Donetsk executed Ukrainians who were attempting to surrender, rather than take them into custody," Beth Van Schaack, the US ambassador-at-large for Global Criminal Justice, said in the meeting.

"If true, this would be in violation of a core principle of the law of war: the prohibition against the summary execution of civilians and of combatants who are hors de combat by virtue of surrender, injury, or other forms of incapacitation."

Hors de combat is a French term used in international law to refer to someone in war who has clearly expressed an intention to surrender or who is injured and incapable of defending themselves.

Van Schaack continued: "These ... reports suggest that atrocities are not the result of rogue units or individuals; they rather reveal a deeply disturbing pattern of systematic abuse across all areas where Russia's forces are engaged."

OUT OF CONTROL Russia-Ukraine war LIVE – Monster Putin ‘shaking uncontrollably’ in new video as fears grow over state of his health

EVIL Vladimir Putin's health has come under speculation after a new video shows the Russian strongman "shaking uncontrollably".

The Russian tyrant's hands trembled violently in a clip showing him greeting Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko at the Kremlin.

the footage shows a frail-looking Putin - who in recent weeks has been plagued by claims he has Parkinson's or terminal cancer - holding his hand out to greet Lukashenko before retracting and walking around the room.

His knees then buckle as he walks to embrace his Belarusian counterpart in the undated footage - which has now been viewed more than 1 million times.

It's the latest video calling the monster's health into question after recent footage showed Putin biting his lips and fidgeting distractedly at a church service on Sunday further stoked claims the autocrat has a terminal illness.

And in a separate video, a dishevelled Putin, 69, was seen gripping a table and tapping his foot in video that Kremlin watchers claimed showed a drastic decline in his physical state.

Massive Russian bombing run collapses makeshift operating room ( geïmproviseerde operatiekamer voor de zieken ) underneath Mariupol’s Azovstal

Russia has dropped numerous “bunker buster” bombs on the Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol – where the city’s Ukrainian defenders and civilians are sheltering – collapsing a makeshift operating room and killing several wounded soldiers, the Azov Battalion said in a Telegram post on April 28.

The Russian military bombed the field hospital area of the underground compound overnight, followed by naval artillery bombardment.

Some wounded Ukrainian soldiers were killed, while others were wounded and suffered concussions. Exact casualty figures are unclear.

The partially collapsed structure further hinders the already limited medical treatment available to the wounded, the message said.

U beweegt trager en de bewegingen worden kleiner. U kunt bijvoorbeeld uw arm niet meer zo ver zwaaien.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned of a looming food crisis that may spark social unrest in sub-Saharan Africa.

The fund has revised its growth projection for the continent downwards to 3.8% from the initial 4.5%. Wheat is forecast to increase by 42.7% and reach new record highs

In its latest economic outlook, the IMF says the war in Ukraine has caused "a sharp increase in energy and food prices, that could undermine food security in the region, raise poverty rates, increase income inequality and possibly lead to social unrest".

Its report says the war has stalled growth momentum seen in the second half of 2021 as countries continue to battle the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, deteriorating security in several countries and climate-related shocks.
Ukraine war fallout could fuel unrest in Africa - IMFUkraine war fallout could fuel unrest in Africa - IMF

The IMF suggests that sustainable growth will require:
> economic diversification for commodity-exporting countries
> the boosting of private sector growth through regional trade integration
> the addressing of climate-change challenges.

Russia deploys trained dolphins at Black Sea naval base, satellite images show

Two dolphin pens were moved to the Sevastopol harbor base in February, concluded the US Naval Institute’s review

Russia has deployed trained military dolphins at its naval base in the Black Sea – possibly to protect its fleet from an underwater attack – according to new analysis of satellite images

The US Naval Institute (USNI) reviewed satellite imagery of the naval base at Sevastopol harbor, and concluded that two dolphin pens were moved to the base in February at the start of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

Russia has a history of training dolphins for military purposes, using the aquatic mammal to retrieve objects or deter enemy divers.

The Sevastopol naval base is crucial for the Russian military, as it sits in the southern tip of Crimea which Moscow seized in 2014. According to the USNI’s analysis, many of the Russian ships anchored there, while out of range from missiles, are potentially vulnerable to undersea attacks.

Ukraine had also trained dolphins at an aquarium near Sevastopol, in a program born out of a Soviet-era scheme that fell into neglect in the 1990s.

During the cold war, both the US and the Soviet Union developed the use of dolphins whose echolocation capabilities can allow them to detect underwater objects such as mines.

The US has spent at least $28m maintaining its own troops of dolphins and sea lions – which are also trainable – to potentially help with conflicts.

The Sevastopol program was resurrected in 2012 by the Ukrainian navy, but the mammals fell into Russian hands after the 2014 invasion of Crimea. Ukraine unsuccessfully demanded the return of the animals, and RIA Novosti reported that Moscow planned to expand the scheme.

Bulgaria to consider Ukraine's request to repair heavy military machinery

SOFIA, April 28 (Reuters) - Ukraine has asked Bulgaria to repair some of its heavy military machinery at its arms plants, Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov said on Thursday after meeting Ukrainian President Volodymir Zelenskiy in Kyiv.

European Union and NATO member Bulgaria has condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but is yet to decide on whether to send military aid to Kiyv, with one of the partners in Petkov's four-party government opposing such a move.

"This is a genuine request, which I personally will present to the coalition council and I hope next week, when we will be voting in the parliament on military technical assistance to Ukraine, that it will be a key part of the package," Petkov told reporters in Kyiv.

Petkov's centrist PP party and two other coalition partners are in favour of supporting Ukraine with military aid, while the fourth party, the Socialists, who have also opposed imposing sanctions on Russia, see it as a direct involvement in the conflict.

Bulgaria's parliament is expected to approve the move with support from some of the opposition parties. (Reporting by Tsvetelia Tsolova Editing by Alexandra Hudson)

Dutch military police to help Ukraine investigate war crimes

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - The Dutch government is likely to send a forensic team from the national military police to Ukraine to help investigate possible war crimes, Dutch press agency ANP reported on Thursday.

The team would leave for Ukraine at short notice to help the International Criminal Court (ICC) gather evidence at sites where war crimes may have been committed, ANP cited sources close to the matter.

The government will make a final decision on the mission on Friday, the sources said.

The Dutch foreign ministry declined to comment on the report.

The ICC has already started an investigation into possible war crimes in Ukraine following the invasion by Russian forces on Feb. 24.

Earlier this week, the court said it would also participate in a joint investigative team set up by Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine for the exchange of information and investigation into suspected war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Russia calls its actions in Ukraine a “special operation” to disarm Ukraine and protect it from fascists. Ukraine and the West say this is a false pretext for an unprovoked war of aggression by President Vladimir Putin.

Russia has denied accusations that its forces have committed war crimes in Ukraine.
