The United States plans to accept up to 100,000 Ukrainians fleeing Russia's invasion and is pledging $1 billion in new humanitarian aid, the Biden administration said on Thursday after a month of bombardments touched off Europe's fastest-moving refugee crisis since the end of World War Two.
Russia issued a formal maritime warning saying that a number of naval mines that were placed in the Black Sea—allegedly by Ukrainians in efforts to counter Moscow’s invasion—are no longer attached to their anchors and could drift toward the Straits of Bosphorus and the Mediterranean Sea.
