Two years after the start of the large-scale war, the dynamic of Western support for kyiv is losing momentum: newly committed aid is down over the period from August 2023 to January 2024 compared to the same period of the previous year, according to the latest report from the Kiel Institute, published in February 2024. And this trend could continue, the American Senate struggling to pass aid, and the European Union (EU) having had every difficulty in have aid of 50 billion adopted on 1is February 2024, due to the Hungarian blockade. Please note, these two aid packages are not yet taken into account in the latest assessment made by the Kiel Institute, which ends in January 2024.
Data from the German institute show that the number of donors is decreasing and is concentrated around a core of countries: the United States, Germany, the countries of northern and eastern Europe, which promise both high financial aid and advanced weaponry. In total, since February 2022, the countries which support kyiv have committed at least 276 billion euros on the military, financial or humanitarian level.
In absolute terms, the richest countries have been the most generous. The United States is by far the leading donors,

Two prizes, it is given to few. Yet it happened to Mickey Richardson, a Brit from Bournemouth. “It has been a hobby of mine for a few months now, to scour beaches and fields looking for hidden treasures,” the man told Daily Mail online. “I recently entered a raffle on Facebook and won first prize: a metal detector.”
Richardson went out and searched for hours in a muddy field in Ansty, a small village in Dorset, England. “Just as I was about to call it a day, the metal detector picked up a strong signal. I found a silver coin.” But it didn’t stop at just one. “I could hardly believe it, I dug up 74 coins. The next day I went back to dig up a few more to reach the 100 coin mark. There were 234.”
It is believed that the coins, depicting King Edward VI,
American And European Companies Took Part In The…
/ world today news/ On November 28, the First International Supply Chain Promotion Exhibition was opened in Beijing. The event welcomes many American and European companies. The number of these participants far exceeded expectations, representing 36% of all foreign exhibitors. It is the first national level exhibition in the world that focuses specifically on the supply chain. It featured several thematic exhibition areas on topics such as smart cars, green agricultural production and digital technologies. For the five days of the exhibition, more than 500 domestic and foreign enterprises from 55 countries and regions presented their new technologies, products and services in various chains here.
It is worth noting that just hours before the opening of the exhibition, the White House held a conference on supply chain sustainability, announcing the creation of a Committee on Supply Chain Sustainability. The main purpose of this is to warn of supply disruptions in the field of semiconductors and to stimulate the domestic production of essential medicines in the country. The US says these measures are critical to the economy and national security. The large number of American and European companies that participated in the Beijing expo actually demonstrated that administrative measures cannot change market patterns and China cannot be excluded from global industrial chains and supply chains.

Venezuela’s socialist government is discussing compensation with at least two Colombian companies whose assets were confiscated during the government of late President Hugo Chávez.

Colombia’s largest cement manufacturer, Cementos Argos SA, is in talks about the possible acquisition of a state-owned cement plant near Venezuela’s Caribbean coast, according to Germán Umaña, Colombia’s minister of commerce and tourism. An expropriated subsidiary of Cali-based sugar exporter Comercializadora Internacional de Azúcares y Mieles, Ciamsa, is also in negotiations to obtain compensation, Umaña said.
After years of tension, relations between the countries improved after Gustavo Petro won the presidency of Colombia in 2022 and immediately restored ties and reopened the border. Venezuela appears to want to resolve these trade disputes without a legal battle, Umaña said last week in an interview at his office in Bogotá.
Umaña, who previously headed the Colombian-Venezuelan chamber of commerce, said he had helped in the discussions. Chávez ordered hundreds of expropriations during his presidency from 1999 to 2013,

Missouri Governor Declines Clemency For Inmate Scheduled For…
The Complexity of Clemency Misfortune and Redemption Collide in Death Sentence Case
In a gripping turn of events, the impending execution of Brian Dorsey has sparked a heated debate surrounding the delicate balance between justice and redemption. The Missouri Governor, Mike Parson, recently declared his decision not to commute Dorsey’s death sentence for the murder of Ben and Sarah Bonnie in 2006. However, this case comes with its own unique set of circumstances that challenge conventional notions of crime and punishment.
A Call for Clemency
What sets Dorsey’s clemency request apart from others is the unprecedented support he garnered from more than 70 current and former prison workers who witnessed his transformation behind bars. These individuals shared remarkable stories about a man who had undergone substantial rehabilitation during his incarceration. They described him as compliant, respectful, and even an essential part of prison life as he became a skilled barber for fellow inmates.
“The very concept of ‘corrections’ implies that we want incarcerated people to change their ways,” T Timothy Lancaster, former officer at Dorsey’s prison home,
wrote in an op-ed piece for The Kansas City Star. “Executing Dorsey would dishonor the hard work he has done to fulfill that objective.”
This resolute belief in second chances raises provocative questions about the ultimate purpose of our criminal justice system: Are we truly invested in rehabilitation or merely focused on retribution?
