Ukraine and the West denounced the trial as a sham. Putin likened Russia to Peter the Great and spoke of taking back and reinforcing territory as battles raged in Sievierodonetsk and other Donbas fronts.

House approves red flag gun bill in split vote
The House passed a red flag law to let families and police ask courts to remove firearms from at risk individuals for up to two weeks pending a hearing. The measure, opposed by Republicans, has little Senate path though it mirrors earlier gun control efforts and includes federal grants to aid states adopting similar laws. President Biden backs the bill, while Senate prospects remain slim.
