Putin’s Scare in Kharkiv Grows: Zelensky Signs New Law Allowing Prisoners to Join Military

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has ratified a new law allowing certain prisoners to be paroled if they agree to enlist in the country's military. This legislation, aimed at bolstering Ukraine's military ranks, comes in response to the significant challenges the nation faces in its conflict with Russia. The details of the new law were published on the official website of the Ukrainian parliament, the Verkhovna Rada. Initially submitted to the legislature in March, the bill is part of a broader effort by Ukraine to replenish its military forces. The legislation enables Ukrainian inmates to voluntarily enlist on a contractual basis and serve as long as martial law is in effect. The law specifically applies to convicts with three years or less remaining on their original prison sentences. #Zelensky #Ukraine #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraineConflict #Kharkiv #Putin #MilitaryRecruitment #PrisonerEnlistment #WarLaw #MartialLaw #UkraineDefense #Mobilization #ConflictNews #EasternEurope #GlobalNews ~PR.152~ED.103~

Putin's Final Blow on Kharkiv with Renewed Russia’s Drone blitz; Ukraine’s Belgorod Retaliation

In a critical escalation on Ukraine's northeastern front, Russian troops have made significant advances in the Kharkiv region, expanding the combat zone by approximately 70 kilometers. Ukrainian Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrskyi warned of imminent "heavy battles" as Russian President Vladimir Putin declared the establishment of a "buffer zone" to protect Russia's border regions. The offensive, which began last Friday, has strained Ukrainian defences, already stretched thin over a sprawling front. During a visit to China, Putin linked the offensive to ongoing Ukrainian shelling of Russian border areas, justifying the creation of the buffer zone. A recent Russian missile strike in Kharkiv killed two and injured 25, highlighting the conflict's toll. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stated that Ukrainian forces have stabilized the front despite losing control of 12 villages. #Putin #Kharkiv #UkraineWar #DroneBlitz #Belgorod #UkraineRetaliation #RussiaUkraineConflict #BufferZone #MilitaryOffensive #KharkivAttack #WarUpdates #EasternFront #UkrainianDefense #RussiaInvasion #ConflictZone ~HT.99~PR.152~ED.194~

Experts Question Claim That Yogurt Can Help Prevent Type 2 Diabetes

Experts Question Claim , That Yogurt Can Help , Prevent Type 2 Diabetes. Associated Press reports that the United States Food and Drug Association's recently allowed yogurt producers to claim it reduces the risk of Type 2 diabetes. . However, at the time, the agency acknowledged that the claim is based on limited evidence. In 2018, Danone North America, the U.S. side of the French firm, sought FDA clearance for making the "qualified health claim.". Qualified health claims lack full scientific support but are allowed as long as manufacturers include a disclaimer to avoid misleading the public. Similar qualified health claims have been allowed for dietary supplements since 2000 and for food products since 2002. . In March of 2024, the FDA granted Danone's request. . According to the FDA, there is some evidence that eating at least 2 cups of yogurt a week could reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, which impacts about 36 million Americans. Critics of the FDA's decision have countered that the claim is not based on randomized control trials which could prove or disprove yogurt's purported health benefits.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest, an advocacy group, cautions that no single food can reduce the risk of developing a disease linked to overall diet. AP reports that experts have expressed concerns that the label change could encourage people to eat yogurt high in sugar, which could increase the risk of developing diabetes
