EXCLUSIVE: Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen said Ukraine has gained new leverage against Russia, arguing that Moscow’s renewed talk of negotiations comes as Kyiv has strengthened itself militarily, politically and diplomatically.Valtonen’s comments carry particular weight because Finland is one of NATO’s newest members and now sits on the alliance’s longest border with Russia.

I've done this 'racin deal for a long time, as Darrell Waltrip (D-Dubya!) would say. I've watched a lot of NASCAR races. Covered a lot of Daytona 500s. Seen a lot of nasty wrecks.A lot of nasty wrecks.Only a few, however, have made me queasy: The infamous Ryan Newman crash in the 2020 Daytona 500, a Ryan Blaney crash at the 2023 Firecracker, and an Erik Jones wreck at Talladega the following season.That's it. That's the list.The Chase Elliott-Christopher Bell wreck Sunday afternoon at Michigan had this NASCAR fan feeling queasy. Lord knows it had other drivers feeling the same

It's almost becoming repetitive at this point. A Star Wars-related property has disappointed relative to pre-release expectations.Seven years after the release of "The Rise of Skywalker," Disney and Lucasfilm hoped that they could relaunch the all-important franchise with "The Mandalorian and Grogu." And in doing so, once again revealed that they understand very little about the audience they're trying to serve.When "The Force Awakens" hit theaters under the leadership of then-Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy, it was a tremendous financial success. While hardly reinventing the wheel creatively, it at least provided a solid foundation for the franchise to build from. But
