Munitions for some of Ukraine's air defense systems may be nearly used up by the end of March, the Washington Post reported on March 15, citing unnamed Western officials. Ukraine has tried to shoot down 4 of every 5 missiles aimed at its cities, but the shortage in munitions for its defenses may soon force Ukraine to aim for only 1 of every 5, one of the officials told the Washington Post. The officials cited by the outlet had met with Ukrainians at the Munich Security Conference last month, the paper reported.

Washington (AFP) - Independent Senator Kyrsten Sinema said Tuesday she will not run for reelection in Arizona, a swing state seen as must-win for control of the finely balanced US Senate in November's election. The former Democrat, who moved to the upper chamber from the House of Representatives in 2019 and later quit the party, would likely have failed to win a second term, as she consistently polled third behind the main party candidates. Republicans need a net gain of two seats to win the Senate, but polling is sparse in Arizona's narrow contest and it is not clear whether Democratic candid...
