      Russia’s Bureaucratic Incompetence Risks Undermining Putin’s Annexation—ISW

      Russian authorities will “struggle to establish governance structures” over four annexed Ukrainian provinces due to “bureaucratic incompetence,” according to the Washington D.C. based Institute for the Study of War (ISW). Vladimir Putin signed “accession treaties” merging Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson into the Russian Federation on Friday. This followed referendums in the four regions, which were dismissed as “rigged” and a “sham” by Western powers. The move sparked a furious response from the world’s leading democracies, with the G7 group of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.K and the U.S. issuing a joint statement saying they would “never recognize” the annexation, which they branded “a new low point in Russia’s blatant flouting of international law.” After the announcement fresh sanctions were…

      Hurricane Ian lashes South Carolina as Florida’s death toll climbs

      Charleston: A revived Hurricane Ian pounded coastal South Carolina on Friday, ripping apart piers and flooding streets after the ferocious storm caused catastrophic damage in Florida, trapping thousands in their homes and leaving at least 27 people dead. The powerful storm, estimated to be one of the costliest hurricanes ever to hit the US, has terrorised people for much of the week — pummeling western Cuba and raking across Florida before gathering strength in the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean to curve back and strike South Carolina. While Ian’s center came ashore near Georgetown, South Carolina, on Friday with much weaker winds than when it crossed Florida’s Gulf Coast earlier in the week, the storm left many areas of Charleston’s downtown peninsula…
