Mike Pence testifies to grand jury about Donald Trump and January 6 On Thursday, Nato’s secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, said that almost all the combat vehicles promised to Ukraine by western allies had been delivered, putting Ukraine in a strong position to recover further ground. The strikes c ome as Moscow, and the world, wait for Kyiv to launch a spring counter offensive against Russian forces. Ukraine’s foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, tweeted: “Missile strikes killing innocent Ukrainians in their sleep, including a two-year-old child, is Russia’s response to all peace initiatives.” The missiles that got through were a grim reminder of why the country is so vulnerable when Moscow aims its weapons at civilian targets. Most of Russia’s attacks were intercepted, with 21 out of 23 missiles shot down by the Ukrainian military. One missile hit a building in Dnipro, killing a woman and a child, the city’s mayor said.

A new documentary – an early version of which premiered at Sundance in January, but is being updated before its release – contains a never-before-heard recording of another Yale graduate, Max Stier, describing a separate alleged incident in which he said he witnessed Kavanaugh exposing himself at a party at Yale. What do the omissions mean? The revelations raise questions about apparent efforts to downplay and discredit accusations of sexual misconduct by Kavanaugh and exclude evidence that supported an alleged victim’s claims. Smith was also a member of the Federalist Society, which strongly supported Kavanaugh’s supreme court nomination, and appears to have a professional relationship with the Federalist Society’s co-founder Leonard Leo, whom he thanked in the acknowledgments of his book Under God: George Washington and the Question of Church and State. Smith was a friend and former colleague of the judiciary committee’s then lead counsel, Mike Davis. ![]() ![]() The suggestion that Kavanaugh was the victim of mistaken identity was sent to the judiciary committee by a Colorado-based attorney named Joseph C Smith Jr, according to a non-redacted copy of a 2018 email obtained by the Guardian. It prominently included an unfounded and unverified claim that one of Kavanaugh’s accusers – a fellow Yale graduate named Deborah Ramirez – was “likely” mistaken when she alleged that Kavanaugh had exposed himself to her at a dormitory party because another Yale student was allegedly known for such acts. The 28-page report was released by the Republican senator Chuck Grassley, the then chair of the Senate judiciary committee.
