"Ukrainian authorities said they have dismantled an illegal arms trafficking network that allegedly funneled weapons to pro-Russian public figures and politicians, including U.S. actor Steven Seagal and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.
The National Police of Ukraine said in an April 28 statement that the network sourced weapons from temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories and through illegal imports from Slovakia. Some of the weapons were distributed as so-called "prizes" by Denis Pushilin, the head of the Russian-installed administration in occupied Donetsk Oblast.
Police said the list of recipients includes a range of high-profile figures, including senior Russian officials and foreign leaders.
"Kim Jong-un, Bashar al-Assad, Dmitry Medvedev, Sergey Sobyanin, Sergey Lavrov, Ramzan Kadyrov, Steven Seagal, Yulia Chicherina, Vladimir Solovyov, Alexander Sidyakin, and Vladimir Saldo — these are the individuals who received 'prize' weapons from … Denis Pushilin," the statement said.
Seagal, who rose to fame as an action star in the 1980s and 1990s, later developed close ties to Russia and President Vladimir Putin as his Hollywood career declined." KI

"A study by Ukraine's military ombudsman found that soldiers deployed for over 40 days on front-line positions develop apathy and "stop caring whether they survive or not," Ombudsman Olha Reshetylova said.
The findings come amid broader concerns over Ukraine's mobilization system, which has
faced persistent challenges in recruitment and rotation during the full-scale war. Ukraine's military has struggled with manpower shortages and prolonged deployments, with some troops remaining on positions for months due to a lack of replacements.
The research by the Office of the Military Ombudsman indicates that prolonged deployments lead to severe psychological strain, decreasing combat effectiveness.
"Everything beyond 40 days cannot be considered effective," Reshetylova said in an interview to Ukrainska Pravda, adding that commanders should take the findings into account.
She noted that existing regulations limit time on position to 15 days, but the rule is widely ignored, leaving some troops deployed for months or longer without rotation.
"This is a dead norm that no one follows, which in turn means there are effectively no limits," she said.
Reshetylova said her office is preparing proposals for Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi to revise rules governing time spent on front-line positions." KI
"Wind-driven ice shoves struck multiple lakes in Cheboygan County, Michigan, during an ongoing flooding event in April 2026, pushing onshore and into residential structures. The event is unfolding as elevated water levels from snowmelt and recent rainfall continue to drive flooding and evacuations across northern Michigan.Rising water levels allowed late-season lake ice to become mobile under strong winds, leading to reports of ice shoves across several lakes in the region. The ice moved into residential areas, adding stress to shoreline structures, and while fully verified impacts remain limited, the phenomenon has been confirmed within Cheboygan County, Michigan and along Lake Superior near Ashland and Washburn, Wisconsin.
On Mullett Lake in Cheboygan County, ice moved onto shore and into residential structures with little warning, destroying decks, exterior fixtures, and outbuildings." W

"A 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck off Japan's northeastern coast, the U.S. Geological Survey said, prompting authorities to issue tsunami warnings and advisories along parts of the coast.
"Based on the preliminary earthquake parameters," USGS said, "hazardous tsunami waves are possible for coasts located within 300 km of the earthquake epicenter."
The Japan Meteorological Agency said tsunami warnings were in place for some of the Sanriku Coast, along with lesser advisories and forecasts farther away from the quake's center." msn
