One prisoner thought he was being sent to Russia for training, SBU says. They’re the first North Koreans Kyiv has acknowledged capturing alive. “This was not an easy task,” Zelensky says: Russian or NK forces usually execute the wounded to hide Pyongyang’s involvement against Ukraine

Ted Mondale delivers a tribute to Jimmy Carter written by his late father, former Vice President Walter Mondale:

"We came up with a sentence, which remains an important summary of our work: 'We told the truth, we obeyed the law and we kept the peace.' That we did, Mr. President."

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.

A House panel releases ethics report on Matt Gaetz's alleged sexual misconduct and drug use, which he has fiercely denied. The move is a reversal for the committee, which deadlocked on the issue last month.
