She crossed the Darien Gap, a notorious stretch of jungle between Colombia and Panama, with Mia tucked in her backpack, eventually making her way across eight countries. Now, Comeja is hoping the dog will help her make it through the grueling final leg of their journey.

It will depart as leaders from across the hemisphere gather in Los Angeles for the Summit of the Americas. Continue reading... |

| Russia-Ukraine war: US supports international inquiry into war crimes in Ukraine – live Posted: 04 Jun 2022 12:27 PM PDT US embassy in Kyiv says 'those responsible for war crimes must face justice'
Russian forces have combined airstrikes and massed artillery fires to bring its "overwhelming" firepower to bear in Donbas, the UK Ministry of Defence has said in its latest intelligence report released this morning. This combined use of air and artillery strikes has been a key factor in Russia's recent tactical successes in the region, the report reads. Russian air activity remains high over contested ground in the Donbas with Russian aircraft conducting strikes using both guided and unguided munitions. These strikes alone however have failed to have a meaningful impact on the conflict and Russian stocks of precision guided missiles are likely to have been significantly depleted as a result. The combined use of air and artillery strikes has been a key factor in Russia's recent tactical successes in the region. The increased use of unguided munitions has led to the widespread destruction of built-up areas in the Donbas and has almost certainly caused substantial collateral damage and civilian casualties.
