Details: Barrot stressed that Trump is "too wise to agree to what would be the largest territorial annexation in 75 years".

"[He's] too wise to forget that no just and lasting peace can be made behind the backs of Ukrainians and over the heads of Europeans. This would enshrine the right of the strongest, with dire consequences in Europe and other regions of the world," he added.

Background:

• During the election campaign, Trump claimed that he would find a solution to end the war in Ukraine "in 24 hours", though he did not explain how he would do it.
• The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump's entourage is considering the idea of freezing the front line with a demilitarised zone and a 20-year moratorium on Ukraine's NATO membership to fulfil his promise to "end the war quickly" in Ukraine.
• In this context, EU leaders at a meeting in Budapest discussed the possibility of continuing to provide military assistance to Ukraine if Donald Trump decides to withdraw US support.

An 84-year-old man was arrested in Wisconsin for a murder committed in 1974. The suspect was found thanks to genetic genealogy, which was used for the first time in this case.

Investigators in Wisconsin have used genetic genealogy to solve a 50-year-old murder and charge an 84-year-old suspect. This was reported by CNN, according to UNN.

Details

It is noted that 25-year-old Mary Schleiss was found dead at an intersection in the village of Spring Brook, Wisconsin, on February 15, 1974. The investigation revealed that she was killed on the way to Chicago, where she was hitchhiking.

Although the murder was committed 50 years ago, investigators have only now been able to charge the alleged killer, Minnesota resident John Miller, now 84 years old.

According to the county sheriff, the suspect was taken into custody on November 7 after he admitted to being involved in Schleiss' murder. Miller is currently under arrest in Steele County, Minnesota, where he is awaiting extradition to Wisconsin.

This is a great victory for us. This is the first time we have used genetic genealogy to investigate a case,

The sheriff said.

He added that for decades, detectives from various law enforcement departments had been investigating Schleiss's murder, receiving various clues and evidence, conducting interrogations, but were unable to identify the culprit. It wasn't until they began working with a group of genetic genealogy experts at Ramapo College in New Jersey that they were able to track Miller down with genetic evidence.

The sheriff also said that they encountered unforeseen circumstances with Miller's pedigree, as he was adopted.

The newspaper notes that Miller took the murder charges against him in stride.

I think it should even be a relief for him after 50 years of living with this,

– The sheriff said.

He also added that many of the detectives and ex-sheriffs who investigated the case have already died.

Quote: "Unfortunately, the Ukrposhta branch has been closed due to security measures to prevent crowds. We could no longer keep this branch open and expose employees and visitors to danger every second. ATMs have also stopped working due to the use of a large number of FPV drones targeting the cars of cash collectors."

Details: Besedin said that the Russian army was monitoring the entrances to Kupiansk and attacking cars with FPV drones, preventing the delivery of humanitarian aid.

The head of the hromada calls on people to evacuate.

Besedin recalled that the dead people in the village of Kivsharivka had been trapped under the rubble for six days because the Russians were not allowing rescue workers to use special equipment and recover the bodies.

"Three people were killed, lying under the rubble, and it is impossible to unblock their bodies," Besedin said.

He said that 1,100 residents of the hromada remain without electricity, gas or centralised water and heat supply on the left bank of the Oskil River, where the Kupiansk hromada is located.
