Starting on February 1, Trump imposed 25 percent tariffs on

Trump had pledged to bring the war to a swift conclusion during his presidential election campaign trail, but five months after returning to power, he has still not been able to bring the two sides to agree on a ceasefire.Ukraine wants an unconditional ceasefire, while Putin says “the root causes of this crisis” need to be addressed for any agreement. Moscow wants Kyiv not to be granted entry into NATO and its forces to withdraw from Ukrainian regions partially occupied by Russian troops. Kyiv has rejected those demands.

Trump had been critical of his predecessor, Joe Biden, for supplying weapons to Ukraine worth billions of dollars. He has asked his NATO allies to step up and provide a security guarantee to Ukraine. The European Union nations have since boosted their defence budgets and cobbled together a“coalition of the willing”to help draw up a peace plan for Ukraine.

How Russia is defying the West's boycottWhen Moscow resident Zoya, 62, was planning a trip to Italy to visit her daughter last August, she saw the perfect opportunity to buy the Apple Watch she had long dreamed of owning.

Officially, Apple does not sell its products in Russia.

The California-based tech giant was one of the first companies to announce it would exit the country in response to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022.Since gaining independence in 1947, Pakistan has had 17 army chiefs. Munir is only the second among them – after Ayub Khan – to be promoted to field marshal.

Ayub Khan became army chief in 1951 and seized power in a military coup in 1958. A year later, he promoted himself to field marshal while appointing General Musa Khan as the new army chief.“A field marshal has his own insignia and their own stick which they carry with them. A field marshal does not have to respond to a salute, but instead they only have to wave the stick to acknowledge it,” Inam ul Rahiem, a lawyer and former military officer, told Al Jazeera.

Once conferred, the field marshal rank is held for life.Does India have the field marshal rank, too?
