    Kyiv Mayor Klitschko Criticizes District Administrations Over Shelter Expansion

    Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko has criticized district administrations for hindering the expansion of shelters in the capital. He stated that around 4,000 shelters already exist but further development is hindered by inefficiency.

    Milei's Verbal Unrest and Economic Policies Dominate Argentine Politics

    President Javier Milei's verbal unrest and emotional instability have been prominent in Argentine politics. He has insulted and accused political figures, including former members of President Duhalde's team and former President Cristina de Kirchner. Milei's economic policies, such as salary dollarization and the destruction of lives due to factory and business closures, have also been criticized. The IMF representative congratulated Milei for his economic program, but many Argentines suffer from job losses and reduced quality of life. The government has opened its re-election campaign with nationalist slogans and a 'cultural battle' against 'anti-Argentine' campaigns. The reform of the Central Bank's Organic Charter and a DNU on migration policy are key projects. Luis Caputo, Minister of Economy, has expressed confidence in Milei's re-election in 2027.
