Russia captures Ukrainian town

Russia captures Ukrainian town after nearly 2 years of trying top news 2 Min To Read 3 hours ago Russia appears to have successfully seized the key Ukrainian frontline town of Vuhledar after months of intense fighting. The town, located in the eastern Donetsk region, has been a strategic target for Russian forces since January 2023. The town's governor, Vadym Filashkin, described the situation in Vuhledar as "extremely difficult" as Russian forces moved in and the Ukrainian military struggled to defend the town. The Institute for the Study of War reported that Russian forces likely seized Vuhledar, with open sources and pro-Russian military bloggers confirming the takeover. The town's population has significantly decreased, with only a few hundred civilians remaining out of a pre-war population of 14,000. The loss of Vuhledar is a blow to the Ukrainian military, as the town was considered a "fortress" and a valuable position at the intersection of the eastern and southern war fronts. However, the ISW stated that the seizure of Vuhledar is unlikely to significantly alter the course of offensive operations in the region, as it is not a crucial logistics node. Despite this, the capture of Vuhledar could provide a morale boost to Russia, as President Vladimir Putin increases defense spending to record levels. The town's high ground and strategic location make it a valuable target for Russia, potentially threatening the security of surrounding areas. As the situation in Ukraine continues to evolve, the capture of Vuhledar highlights the ongoing conflict in the region and the challenges faced by both Ukrainian and Russian forces. The town's fall could have wider implications for the security and stability of the Donetsk region, as well as the ongoing economic and geopolitical impact of the war on both countries.

Britain's last Coal plant shut down

Britain shut down its last coal-burning power station, becoming the first among the world’s major industrialized economies to wean itself off coal. The move is all the more symbolic because the nation was the first to burn tremendous amounts during the Industrial Revolution, launching a global addiction to coal. The British government aims to generate all its electricity from sources other than fossil fuels by 2030. Oil and gas account for the majority of the country’s power supply, though renewables make up 40 percent of its electricity generation.
