Officials said a "small number" of non-essential staff were still sheltering inside and plant operations were paused.

⏳Ursula von der Leyen Wants Profits from Frozen Russian Assets to Arm Ukraine

“It is time to start a conversation about using the windfall profits of frozen Russian assets to jointly purchase military equipment for Ukraine,” the European Commission president said in a speech Wednesday.

Washington has been pushing its allies to use €260bn of frozen Russian assets, mostly held in Belgium. But EU countries have been hesitant for fear of legal reprisals.

📣 US Army to Cull 24K Jobs in Major Restructure Focussing on Large-Scale War

The move is to "generate new capabilities and re-balance its force structure" with an eye towards shifting operations away from the counterinsurgency and counter-terrorism efforts, according to a US Army document rolled out Tuesday.

"The Army will continue to need capabilities related to these missions. But in light of the changing security environment and evolving character of war, the Army is refocusing on conducting large scale combat operations against technologically advanced military powers," the document said.

It will prioritize the elimination of positions that are "historically vacant or hard to fill." About 7,500 posts will be added in what the Army determines to be critical areas.
