Ukraine: "The Biden White House plans to rush billions of dollars in security assistance to Ukraine before the outgoing Democratic president leaves office in January, sources told Reuters on Wednesday. 'The administration plans to push forward … to put Ukraine in the strongest position possible.'" Biden plans military aid surge from billions still available. 6Bottom of the NewsRachael "Raygun" Gunn is moving on from competitive breakdancing, a few months after becoming the sport's viral star at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
