The world in brief
America will provide Ukraine with precision-guided missiles that can strike targets nearly 84km away, as part of a new $700m military aid package. The commitment was only made after senior Ukrainian officials assured America that the weapons would not be used against targets inside Russia. Writing in the New York Times, Joe Biden said he does not want a war between NATO and Russia or to oust Vladimir Putin. America’s goal is a “democratic, independent” Ukraine with the means to “defend itself against further aggression”.
Russian forces are occupying greater swathes of the industrial city of Severodonetsk, in eastern Ukraine. The Ukrainian army said that Russia was pounding the surrounding area with artillery. The governor of Luhansk, a province in the east of Ukraine, said that Russian forces hit a tank full of nitric acid at a facility in Severodonetsk. Residents were told to stay in shelters to avoid the fallout.
Russia cut off more of its gas supply to Europe, following the European Union’s partial ban on Russian oil. Gazprom, a state-owned energy giant, said it will halt flows to companies in Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands because they failed to make payments in roubles. On Monday leaders of the EU agreed to the bloc’s harshest package of sanctions yet, which will cut imports of Russian oil by 90% by the end of the year.
Sheryl Sandberg, the chief operating officer of Meta, Facebook’s parent company, said she would step down in the autumn after 14 years. Ms Sandberg served as deputy to Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s founder, turning the social-media firm into an advertising juggernaut and steering its public image. Ms Sandberg did not say what she will do next; she will remain on Meta’s board.
America announced that it will soon begin new trade talks with Taiwan. The island was recently excluded from a US-led initiative, the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, designed to limit Chinese economic ambitions in the region. There had been fears that some countries might be wary of joining the IPEF if it included Taiwan, which China claims as its own.
Alexei Navalny, a jailed Kremlin critic, said he had been charged with additional crimes by Russian authorities and faces 15 more years in prison if found guilty. The accusations, he said, include creating an extremist organisation to “fan hatred against officials and oligarchs” and organising anti-government protests. In March, Mr Navalny was handed a nine-year sentence for fraud and contempt of court.
Fact of the Day: One in five, the share of Britons who contract the flu each year. What if it were treated more like covid?
