“US is in talks with close partners to lead a group of allies that would give as much as $50 billion in aid to Ukraine”
I am guessing this will be for the G-7 Summit in June.
They used to be the G-8, before Putin invaded Ukraine, and got his country kicked out.
Now Putin holds little G-1 Summits with himself, when he needs a morale boost.

Russia’s Anti-Satellite Nuke Could Leave Lower Orbit Unusable, Test Vehicle May Already Be Deployed
New info has emerged from U.S. officials about Russia’s nuclear anti-satellite weapon and a test satellite that may be associated with it.

Pointing to the last item I posted.
If Russia continues to push a test of this weapon in space, the test will:
“Beyond the military aspect, once again, the loss of low earth orbit would be hugely impactful to life on Earth. The economic damage that such a weapon could do is hard to even quantify.
Replacing space-based capabilities after the radiation cleared would take a very long time and LEO may be so cluttered with space junk at that point that it may not be reliably inhabitable at all for much longer than how long damaging radiation would persist.
The entire idea of this weapon is very troublesome and the use of it could set humanity back significantly for a long time.”

Russia would be anathema worldwide & because of the extreme damage the test of this weapon would do, it might trigger a nuclear rain on Russia.
Destroyed would be all communications satellites, no more International Space Station, all commercial space travel would be halted for decades, to name just a few lost capabilities, all to see if a weapon will work by Putin’s Russia.
