USA skickar ammunition av utarmat uran till Ukraina
Ammunitionen ska användas i de amerikanska stridsvagnarna Abrams. Uranen gör ammunitionen så pass tung att den kan tränga igenom tung bepansring. AFP beskriver ammunitionen som kontroversiell eftersom uranet i tidigare konflikter kopplats samman med ökad risk för cancer och andra hälsoeffekter.

Popular Thailand Resort Revolts Against Russians,

People are furious about the inflow of Russian citizens.

Property prices have risen sharply, which, although it is good news for owners and realtors from Thailand, has made life difficult for tenants. Russian-speaking businesses have appeared, often operating through Russian-language apps and staffed by people working illegally. There have also been reports of Russian sex workers," the article said.

Residents of the island complain that Russians have started to run the tourist business and are pushing competitors who have been in the market for a long time. Moreover, the emigrants do not even use the local currency, introducing prices in rubles.

"They drive personal cars that are not registered with Thailand's transport department as official vehicles and pick up tourists who book through a Russian app, offering a price almost 20 per cent cheaper than us," said Phuket Minibus Drivers Club president Prayut Thongmusik.

Thais complain online saying the authorities should step in and act in the interests of the country's residents rather than "visitors" trying to make money in Thailand while businesses in Russian Federation are suffering from sanctions.
