🇺🇦🏁 Ukraine should not expect significant progress on NATO membership at the summer summit in Washington, said British Ambassador to the Alliance David Quarrey.

He stated to Politico, "I do not expect significant progress on this issue, primarily due to the likely situation on the ground,"

Nevertheless, Britain is "absolutely convinced that Ukraine's rightful place is in NATO," Quarrey emphasized.

He added, "It's a question of when, not if. And our job here is to continue to support Ukraine as it moves closer to the alliance."

Earlier, media reported that the main opponents of Ukraine's invitation to NATO are the USA and Germany.

❗️British Army Veteran Finally Charged with Murder over 1972 Northern Ireland Slaying

An Army veteran is to be charged with the murder of a man and the attempted murder of six others in Belfast during the Troubles more than 50 years ago.

Referred to as Soldier F, he will face a charge of murdering Patrick McVeigh, an unarmed 44-year-old father of six – who was shot dead from a passing car containing soldiers as he talked to friends.

All the shootings involved a shadowy undercover Army unit called the Military Reaction Force (MRF), which operated in Belfast in the early 1970s in plain clothes and used civilian cars.

🤔Jeffrey Epstein Used Go-Between to Stay in Contact with Barclays Chief Jes Staley – Court Filings

Documents from a now-settled lawsuit suggests Epstein would send questions for Staley via an unnamed intermediary, who would pass them on verbally. The third person would then return Staley’s reply to Epstein in writing - contradicting claims he cut ties with the convicted child sex offender in 2015.

In one email, sent weeks after Donald Trump won the presidential election in November 2016, Epstein wrote: “Could you ask [REDACTED] if he would like to considered for treasury [sic].” The intermediary replied: “Will do. He’s on a plane to London right now but I’ll reach him after.” The individual later added: “Spoke with him. He said not yet, but thanks.”

Bloomberg said this was an apparent attempt to discuss the appointment of the Treasury secretary in Trump’s incoming administration.
