Pope Francis — an outspoken critic of Europe’s response to migrants and asylum seekers — on Sunday called the continent's migrant crisis “disgusting, sinful, criminal,” The Washington Post reports.
Driving the news: The Bishop of Rome’s comments delivered in St. Peter’s Square reinforce his stance that migration is a humanitarian crisis that concerns everyone.
Driving the news: "I think it's going to be a two for two," said Richardson, who added that he has met with senior Russian officials; "individuals close to President Vladimir Putin."
President Biden's warning last week that Russia's war in Ukraine marks the highest risk nuclear "Armageddon" since the Cuban missile crisis was a reflection of the war's high stakes and not new intelligence the U.S. has received, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said Sunday on ABC's "This Week."
Russia continued its rush on Sunday to reestablish supply lines to Crimea, after an explosion on Saturday damaged a bridge that serves as a critical supply route for Russia's troops in Ukraine.
Driving the news: By Saturday night, some limited road and rail traffic had resumed on the Kerch Bridge.
More images of the massive explosion on the Kerch Strait Bridge that links Crimea to Russia surfaced online Saturday.
Why it matters: The bridge — often a political symbol often praised by Russian President Vladimir Putin — temporarily weakens a Russian military supply route.
A massive fireball damaged a well-known Russian bridge Saturday that links the Crimean Peninsula and the Russian mainland, according to multiple reports.
Why it matters: The explosion will likely cause an immediate blow to Russia's supply route to troops fighting in southern Ukraine.
