    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned Russian attacks on the Ukrainian regions of Kharkiv Zaporizhzhia and Sumy on Monday saying that the Kremlin intends to “humiliate diplomatic efforts” just hours before European leaders visit the White House. kra29 cc “The Russian war machine continues to destroy lives despite everything” Zelensky said in a statement hours before he’s due to meet US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office. “That is precisely why we are seeking assistance to put an end to the killings. That is why reliable security guarantees are required. That is why Russia should not be rewarded for its participation in this war.” kra25 “Everyone seeks dignified peace and true security” the Ukrainian president said. “And at this very moment the Russians are attacking Kharkiv Zaporizhzhia the Sumy region and Odesa destroying residential buildings and our civilian infrastructure.” At least seven people were killed in Russia’s attack? on Kharkiv and a further three killed in the ballistic missile strike on the city of Zaporizhzhia with scores more injured according to Ukrainian authorities. “This was a demonstrative and cynical Russian strike” Zelensky added. kraken1 https://kra27-at.com

    Orlando officials condemn removal of rainbow crosswalk near Pulse nightclub mass shooting site as a ‘cruel political act’ адвокат Днепр цена Orlando officials on Thursday condemned the state’s overnight removal of a rainbow crosswalk outside the Pulse nightclub – a commemoration of the 49 people killed at the LGBTQ-friendly nightclub in 2016. Painting over one of the most important landmarks of the state’s LGBTQ community is part of a larger attack on LGBTQ people by Gov. Ron DeSantis and his administration officials say. https://lawdnepr.dp.ua/ юрист Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer said he was “devastated” by the removal of the Pulse memorial crosswalk. “This callous action of hastily removing part of a memorial to what was at the time our nation’s largest mass shooting without any supporting safety or discussion is a cruel political act” Dyer said in a post on X. The crosswalk was installed by the state in 2017 and adheres to national safety standards Dyer added. The colorful crosswalk added visibility making it safer for the large number of visitors to the memorial he said. CNN has reached out to the Florida Department of Transportation for comment.

Ebenhack/AP/File The removal also comes during campaigns by the state and Trump administration to paint over “asphalt art” including rainbow crosswalks. The dual directives are calling this a safety measure to make roads easier to navigate without distractions. In June the Florida Department of Transportation issued a memo prohibiting crosswalk markings and pavement surface art “associated with social political or ideological messages or images and does not serve the purpose of traffic control.” The following month US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sent a letter to governors of all 50 states saying intersections and crosswalks should be “kept free from distractions.” “Taxpayers expect their dollars to fund safe streets not rainbow crosswalks” Duffy said about the letter in an X post on July 1. “Political banners have no place on public roads. I’m reminding recipients of USDOT roadway funding that it’s limited to features advancing safety and nothing else.”

    It’s no secret how President Donald Trump feels about sports teams turning away from Native American mascots. He’s repeatedly called for the return of the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians claiming their recent rebrands were part of a “woke” agenda designed to erase history. But one surprising team has really gotten the president’s attention: the Massapequa Chiefs. The Long Island school district has refused to change its logo and name under a mandate from New York state banning schools from using team mascots appropriating Indigenous culture. Schools were given two years to rebrand but Massapequa is the lone holdout having missed the June 30 deadline to debut a new logo. kra39 cc The district lost an initial lawsuit it filed against the state but now has the federal government on its side. In May Trump’s Department of Education intervened on the district’s behalf claiming the state’s mascot ban is itself discriminatory. Massapequa’s Chiefs logo — an American Indian wearing a yellow feathered headdress — is expected to still be prominently displayed when the fall sports season kicks off soon putting the quiet Long Island hamlet at the center of a political firestorm. kra35 cc The district is now a key “battleground” said Oliver Roberts a Massapequa alum and the lawyer representing the school board in its fresh lawsuit against New York claiming that the ban is unconstitutional and discriminatory. The Trump administration claims New York’s mascot ban violates Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits recipients of federal funds from engaging in discriminatory behavior based on race color or national origin — teeing up a potentially precedent-setting fight. The intervention on behalf of Massapequa follows a pattern for a White House that has aggressively applied civil rights protections to police “reverse discrimination” and coerced schools and universities into policy concessions by withholding federal funds. “Our goal is to assist nationally” Roberts said. “It’s us putting forward our time and effort to try and assist with this national movement and push back against the woke bureaucrats trying to cancel our country’s history and tradition.” kra40 at https://kra-40at.ru

Trump says Zelensky must agree to some of Russia’s conditions — including that Ukraine cede Crimea and agree never to join NATO — for the war to end. kra13 at • Potential security guarantees: At last week’s summit with Trump President Vladimir Putin agreed to allow security guarantees for Ukraine and made concessions on “land swaps” as part of a potential peace deal US envoy Steve Witkoff told CNN. Zelensky suggested that such guarantees would need to be stronger than those that “didn’t work” in the past. Russia has yet to mention such agreements. kra16 at • Change in tactics: Trump is now focused on securing a peace deal without pursuing a ceasefire due to his progress with Putin Witkoff said. In seeking this deal Trump has backed away from his threat of new sanctions on Moscow despite calls to impose more economic pressure. kra19 at https://kra16-at.com
