The Senate unanimously approved legislation to ban the import of enriched uranium from Russia, a move aimed at blocking Kremlin shipments of reactor fuel. The Prohibiting Russian Uranium Imports Act, would prohibit US imports 90 days after enactment, with temporary waivers available until January 2028. Russia currently supplies nearly a quarter of the enriched uranium used in American commercial reactors, generating around $1 billion in sales annually.

COUNT ONE CONVERT:

Sen. Lindsey Graham, who had called for Ukraine to hold elections, changed his mind after visiting #Ukraine

"Everyone I spoke with said you need to get this war in a better place before you have elections. That makes sense to me, having been on the ground,” he said.

Two years have already passed since our warriors, all our people, drove the Russian occupiers out of Kyiv region. Borodyanka, Bucha, Irpin, Hostomel, Moshchun were places of battle, places where Ukrainians fought for their country, for their lives, for their homes free from evil.

Today, we honor the strength of everyone who withstood then, who is fighting now, who is working and who will definitely bring freedom to our entire land, to every city and village of Ukraine.

I was doing some micro-benchmarking at the time, needed to quiesce the system to reduce noise. Saw sshd processes were using a surprising amount of CPU, despite immediately failing because of wrong usernames etc. Profiled sshd, showing lots of cpu time in liblzma, with perf unable to attribute it to a symbol. Got suspicious. Recalled that I had seen an odd valgrind complaint in automated testing of postgres, a few weeks earlier, after package updates.

Really required a lot of coincidences.

While the US congress has been blocked for 150 days, even the tiny mountain country of Kosovo is now sending their first two military aid packages to Ukraine containing:

— Mortar rounds
— Trucks
— Tacktical armored vehicles

Thank you to the Kosovans! 🇽🇰♥️🇺🇦

“Europe’s freedom today depends on Ukrainians who are holding the line. It is our joint responsibility to give #Ukraine tools to win,” Ingrida Šimonytė said.

"we need a mindset which is not afraid of containing russia, not afraid of russia’s defeat.”
