Russia's foreign ministry has issued a warning of new, imminent attacks on Ukraine's capital and tells foreign diplomats to leave the city: "[T]he Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are commencing a systematic campaign of strikes against Ukrainian defense industry facilities in Kyiv. These strikes will target specific sites involved in the design, production, programming, and operational preparation of the UAVs utilized by the Kyiv regime—activities carried out with the assistance of NATO specialists responsible for supplying components, providing intelligence, and facilitating target acquisition. Strikes will be directed against both decision-making centers and command posts."

The leaders, especially those of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Pakistan who don't have formal diplomatic relations with Israel, were surprised by Trump's request. "There was silence on the line and Trump joked and asked if they are still there," one of the U.S. officials said

@DanielBShapiro Me, I'm wondering when the "Munich!" choir, BB & his transatlantic enablers are going to give sober statements admitting the JCPOA actually was the most workable deal, better than today, while avoiding war. Oh right, never, but don't worry - the whole world sees now anyway

Now is the time for our partners to transform solidarity with Ukraine into action. We are grateful for your warning of a massive strike. And we understand your warnings to your citizens. But the key warning must be heard not in Kyiv and not by foreigners. It must be a warning heard in Moscow by the Russian regime. You have the leverage. Use it now. Warn Moscow of the cost it will have to pay. Both publicly and through closed channels. Concerns and condolences are not enough. We need concrete action increasing the cost of war for the aggressor already now. This will be the best way to express solidarity with the Ukrainian people.

Massive protests have erupted in Nuuk, Greenland following a visit from Donald Trump’s special envoy to Greenland, Jeff Landry, and the opening of the new U.S. consulate. The scenes stand in stark contrast to the opening of Canada’s consulate in Nuuk, where a large crowd of Greenlanders gathered to sing “O Canada” and celebrate Canada’s presence.

At my direction, Global Affairs officials summoned Israel’s ambassador regarding the treatment of Canadian citizens on board the flotilla. I can confirm that all Canadians who were on board are safe and are in the process of being transferred to Türkiye. Consular officials will be present to meet and support Canadians upon their arrival in Istanbul. Officials at our Embassy in Tel Aviv have been engaged throughout and remain on standby to provide immediate assistance. Canada expects full respect for the rights and safety of all civilians.

We have been there multiple times this week. It is categorically NOT on a missile base and everyone we’ve asked says no military activity nearby. It is not a complex question to answer. Was the US deliberately responsible for this appalling tragedy? All the evidence says yes
Yalda Hakim@SkyYaldaHakim

"I do not trust that answer." Admiral Brad Cooper says the investigation into an alleged U.S. airstrike on an Iranian school is "complex" and that the school is "located on an active IRGC cruise missile base". The strike killed more than 150 people - including 120 children - in Minab on the first day of the war. #IranWar #Minabschoolbombing
