Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Tuesday that the moment has arrived for Moscow and Kyiv to present actual plans to bring the Ukraine war to an end, warning that if tangible steps aren’t taken, the United States would pull back from its role as a mediator, according to State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce.
“We are now at a time where concrete proposals need to be delivered by the two parties on how to end this conflict,” Bruce said, reading from Rubio’s remarks.

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said the kangaroo was spotted Tuesday hopping along the side of Interstate 85 in Macon County, which is between Montgomery and Auburn. The sight snarled traffic, and state troopers shut down both sides of the interstate for the safety of motorists. The animal’s owner and troopers were able to capture it, Capt. Jeremy J.

But I’m looking at him,” Macon County Sheriff Andre Brunson said in a Facebook live video as the animal was captured.

Boro Park Shomrim, in coordination with Yanky Eisdorfer, senior advisor to Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, helped light up the streets of Boro Park during Yom Tov Pesach. Following a similar effort during Sukkos, when residents along 21st Avenue and 20th Avenue near the cemetery requested additional lighting due to a previous incident, Boro Park Shomrim arranged for light towers to be placed. Throughout Sukkos Shomrim Shabbos Patrol volunteers actively monitored and maintained the lights to ensure they remained fully operational. This Pesach, Shomrim once again worked with Yanky Eisdorfer, senior advisor to Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, to secure additional light towers from NYC OEM and the NYPD to illuminate the area.
