U.S. and Finland Strike USD 6 B Deal for 11 Icebreakers, Elevating Arctic Ambitions
U.S. and Finland commit to a USD 6 billion program to build 11 icebreakers—a strategic push in Arctic infrastructure and polar control.
A Russian ballistic missile attack on the Odesa region's port infrastructure on Wednesday marks the third strike in four days. Odesa Regional Governor Oleh Kiper reported the attack on Telegram, confirming that the attack killed six people and injured eight, with four of the injured in serious condition.
The attack also hit the Panama-flagged container ship Shui Spirit (IMO: 9216729), highlighting Russia's effort to disrupt Ukraine's grain export corridor. Recent strikes have targeted international shipping, including vessels flagged by Palau and Saint Kitts and Nevis.
