Presidents and dignitaries gathered in Washington on Wednesday to remember Madeleine Albright, the first woman to serve as US secretary of state, while drawing upon her life’s work to warn of the increasing precariousness of freedom and democracy.
Family members and colleagues of Albright shared loving and affectionate memories of her during the funeral service at Washington National Cathedral, while US leaders reflected on her legacy.

“Freedom endures against all odds in the face of every aggressor because there are always those who will fight for that freedom,” US president Joe Biden said in his eulogy of Albright, who died of cancer last month at the age of 84. “In the 20th and 21st century, freedom had no greater champion than Madeleine Korbel Albright.”

Led by President Joe Biden and former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, the man who picked Albright to be his top diplomat and the highest-ranking woman ever in the U.S. government at that time, some 1,400 mourners gathered to celebrate her life and accomplishments at Washington National Cathedral.

Albright died of cancer last month at age 84, prompting an outpouring of condolences from around the world that also hailed her support for democracy and human rights. Besides the current and former presidents, the service was attended by at least three of her successors as secretary of state along with other current and former Cabinet members, foreign diplomats, lawmakers and an array of others who knew her.

Biden, who delivered a tribute to Albright, said her name was synonymous with the idea that America is “a force for good in the world.”

“In the 20th and 21st century, freedom had no greater champion than Madeleine Korbel Albright,” Biden said. “Today we honor a truly proud American who made all of us prouder to be Americans.”

Putin propaganda in virtuality has more success than on the ground. The great offensive at Donbas is failing. Russian army makes minimal terrain gain with great losses. Ukraine army defends every inch. The Russians make the same mistake. Last but not least Putin has not enough troops to encircle the Ukraine army. Dvornikov can go to retirement.

The US introduces a plan to sell seized Russian assets then gives the money to Ukraine.
The EU will probably follow suit.

A Russian oligarch's $90 million superyacht could be sold to fund Ukraine's defense under Biden's new proposal

Tango, the 255-foot luxury yacht owned by sanctioned Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg, was seized by Spain at request of the US earlier this month.

Some of them along with their families have been killed in European cities for stepping out.

Russia has been fighting with one hand tied behind its back to spare civilian infrastructure in most of Ukraine. If Russia decides that it's now or never, with NATO making Ukraine stronger each passing day, it will go medieval on Ukraine and can easily bomb it into rubble. Russia has the same MOAB type bombs that the US used in Afghanistan and they can be delivered by airplanes safely out of reach of Ukrainian defences.

Spared civilian infrastructure, you must be kidding.

200 M113 APCs being sent to Ukraine

Waste of fuel and no use. Should have sent 2,000 Abrams tanks.

This is simply continuation of 2014 war which might go on for another decade.

Wtf you talking about?

Guess in your culture is no western justice system?


Its up to Ukraine how they decide about the law. If a case is brought up to the international court in Hague, the court decides if any law was broken or not.


You can be quite sure that no case will be brought up against any ukrainian soldier.


In short for you: no court decission-> no law broken

Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie arrived in Ukraine. She was noticed in one of the local cafes in the city of Lviv. Apparently, the actress visited Ukraine as part of a program to help the people of Ukraine together with the UN Ambassador for Refugees.
