Slovakia’s newly elected Prime Minister Robert Fico today pledged to stop delivering weapons to Ukraine, just one day after taking office.The prime minister told lawmakers that Slovakia would “no longer supply weapons to Ukraine” and would only send humanitarian aid to Kyiv, according to French newswire AFP.“I will support zero military aid to Ukraine … An immediate halt to military operations is the best solution we have for Ukraine,” said Fico, who has had a fractious relationship with Ukraine going back over a decade. “The EU should change from an arms supplier to a peacemaker,” he added.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:17:11 GMT

LONDON — Senior members of the U.K. government have criticized United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, amid an escalating dispute between the top official and Israel over his comments on the conflict with Hamas.Israel has already called for Guterres to resign, after he said during a U.N. Security Council meeting Tuesday that Hamas’ attack on Israel “did not happen in a vacuum.” On Wednesday he sought to clarify those comments, adding that the “grievances of the Palestinian people cannot justify the horrific attacks by Hamas.”Speaking Thursday, Britain’s Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden called on Guterres to further clarify his comments — a call which his boss, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, later backed.“I certainly don’t agree with the comments of the U.N. secretary-general as they have been reported,” Dowden told Times Radio.

Restaurant review: Koku Ramen

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:17:11 GMT

Rue Saint-Boniface 11, 1050 IxellesWhat’s good? The crispy, golden gyoza are served straight from the sizzling hot pan onto your platter. Let the crunchy veggie gyoza melt in your mouth, mixed with delicious salty soy sauce to make your taste buds explode. The ramen is served with a perfectly runny, yellow egg, a soy- or miso-based soup, nori and your choice of topping. Don’t make the mistake of eating all the broth first; it will fill you up immediately and you won’t have space to devour the freshly made noodles. To give your palate a little change from the umami, try Ramune — a very sweet Japanese lemonade that comes in different flavors — and which is so bubbly that it is sealed with a marble.What’s not? Avoid coming for a late lunch. We had to wait in line outside and were the last customers allowed in as the restaurant was just about to run out of fresh noodles and soup. This, obviously, is a good sign, pointing to the restaurant’s popularity!V...
