(CNN) — El presidente de Ucrania, Volodymyr Zelensky, no tuvo conversaciones con la Casa Blanca después de que se publicaran en redes sociales un tesoro de documentos clasificados de inteligencia de EE.UU., le dijo a The Washington Post este lunes.En una entrevista con The Washington Post, Zelensky dijo que se enteró de la filtración del Pentágono a través de la cobertura de noticias y afirmó que “no recibió información de la Casa Blanca o del Pentágono de antemano”.“No teníamos esa información. Yo personalmente no lo hice. Definitivamente es una mala historia”, dijo, calificándola de “no rentable” para Ucrania, además de “no beneficiosa para la reputación de la Casa Blanca, y creo que no es beneficiosa para la reputación de Estados Unidos”.Un funcionario estadounidense le dijo a CNN que EE.UU. está “en comunicación constante con nuestros homólogos ucranianos sobre una variedad de temas, incluso sobre las divulgaciones no autorizadas, pero no vamos a entrar en los detalles de ...

BANGKOK (AP) — The frontrunning candidate for prime minister of Thailand said Wednesday she’s eager to get back on the campaign trail, just two days after giving birth.Speaking at a news conference at the hospital in Bangkok where she gave birth, Paetongtarn Shinawatra said her new baby boy wouldn’t affect her ability to rally support for her Pheu Thai Party with just under two weeks to go before the polls.“I believe good things come along with children,” she said, sitting beside her husband, Pidok Sooksawas. “I believe that children are my secret power to work, and to lead everyday life.”The newborn, Prutthasin Sooksawas, was brought into the room in a rolling incubator and displayed briefly to the media before being moved out again.Paetongtarn is the youngest daughter of Thaksin Shinawatra, the popular but divisive former prime minister who was ousted by a military coup in 2006. She’s also the niece of Yingluck Shinawatra, whose government met a similar fate eight years later.Thak...

Surgeon general lays out framework to tackle loneliness and ‘mend the social fabric of our nation’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:45:01 GMT

(CNN) — US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy released an advisory Tuesday addressing the “epidemic of loneliness and isolation” affecting the country and laying out a framework for a “National Strategy to Advance Social Connection.”The advisory is part of the Biden administration’s broader efforts to address mental health, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Monday.“In recent years, about one-in-two adults in America reported experiencing loneliness,” Murthy says in the advisory. “And that was before the COVID-19 pandemic cut off so many of us from friends, loved ones, and support systems.”Research has showed that loneliness and isolation are linked to sleep problems, inflammation and immune changes in younger adults. In older people, they’re tied to symptoms such as pain, insomnia, depression, anxiety and shorter life span. In people of all ages, they may be associated with higher risks of heart diseas...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:45:01 GMT

State Department employees around the world have been bingeing “The Diplomat,” a new Netflix show starring Keri Russell. And many of them find it preposterous — and utterly amusing.The show — centered on a U.S. ambassador to the U.K. named Kate Wyler — is fiction. But it veers from hyper-specific accuracy (“Did you call the RSO?”) to genuinely ridiculous moments in ways that are keeping even the most jaded foreign policy practitioners coming back for more.“There’s a lot of detail in there that’s really, really smart,” said Aaron Snipe, a spokesperson with the U.S. Embassy in London. But, “as a career diplomat, I must say you’re watching it thinking, ‘Wow, my job is not nearly as sexy as Ambassador Wyler’s romps through foreign policy.’”Staff for “The Diplomat” sat down with officials from the U.S. Embassy during production to try to get details right, and Snipe said the ambassador and the rest of the team were fans of the show.“I loved the show,” said Lewis Lukens, a ...

KYIV — A severe fire broke out Wednesday morning in Russia at a fuel depot near the critical bridge it uses to deliver weapons and soldiers to occupied Crimea — and from there into southern Ukraine.“The fire has been assigned the highest level of severity.

It said Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard seized the ship.The Navy published pictures of a dozen Guard vessels surrounding the tanker.
