Ex-CIA chief Petraeus: ‘Real opportunity to help Ukraine and crush Russia’s war economy’

David Petraeus's insights on the dire financial state of Russia highlight a critical moment for NATO and the U.S. to support Ukraine effectively. This aligns with broader geopolitical dynamics, including Syria's strategic ties with Russia, as noted by President Ahmed al-Sharaa. The interconnectedness of these issues underscores the importance of international cooperation in addressing regional conflicts and economic pressures. As the trial of former Congolese rebel leader Roger Lumbala unfolds in France, it reflects the complex interplay of justice and political maneuvering in global affairs, further emphasizing the need for strategic responses to crises.
