ukraine s first lady in a speech to congress detailing the suffering caused by russia s invasion and causing for more aid to defeat the enemy. translator: you help us and your help is very strong while russia kills, america saves. i appeal to all of you on behalf of those who were killed, on behalf of those people who lost their arms and legs. i am asking for weapons. weapons that would not be used to wage a war on somebody else s land but to protect one s home and the right to wake up alive in that home. the comments follow new revelations from the white house that putin s army is planning to tighten its grip over eastern ukraine by annexing the donbas region and the territories surrounding the crimean peninsula, fortifying their position away from the port city of odesa. at the start of the year, russia told the world it was not planning to invade ukraine. now we are expected to believe that they re not going to plan to annex ukrainian territory. annexation by force w
Thank you. Ill just conclude. Any comments or questions that went unasked, please if you could provide those answers. Just to speak to it, the idea of a goal that we developed with the napa bill and also the g7 at the w. H. O. Assembly isnt that its to sharpen the mind into marshal resources, as you know. Thats why at asr, were on the right path to either achieve it or come close, and even coming close will be an achievement. I do dr. Mohs, you make the point to develop truly effective ways to treat and delay on sets will require many studies, potential medicines, patient assistant technologies and a combination of approaches. We are doing that, right, or are we lagging in any of those areas . We are doing it. I think it could be done a little faster.

Disputes the accuracy of that number. No one is disputing that there were plenty of empty seats in an arena that can fit 19,000. For a campaign that boasted of a million requests for tickets, the outcome was a serious disappointment. The president s advisers are trying to figure out what went wrong to make sure it doesnt happen again. Of course, while the campaign worries about voter enthusiasm, theres another number which is far more troubling for the entire country. The u. S.

During the meeting of may 8, 2017 with you, sessions and the president , the day before comey was fired, what did you discuss regarding the f. B. I. Investigation . As i explained previously im not going to be discussing anythi
