The U.S. and its allies will continue to supply Ukraine with the supplies needed to “regain its territory and to be effective on the battleground,” he said after a meeting of top global military officials, the U.S.-led Ukraine Defense Contact Group. Comments before and after the meeting signaled a hardening of international determination to back Kyiv in the face of Russia’s recent attacks on civilians across Ukraine, decried by some as a war crime. Talk of nudging both sides toward a negotiated settlement, common among some U.S. allies early in the war, has all but evaporated.

Doubts about the fiscal soundness of the British government’s economic plan continue to reverberate, pummeling the pound. Although the government has walked back its pledge to cut taxes for the highest-earning individuals, Truss has shown no sign of giving up the other tax cuts in the package, including reductions in corporate and income taxes. Analysts said, however, that the continued market turbulence might force her hand, necessitating another retreat to restore her government’s credibility. Such a retreat would deal a huge blow to the authority of Truss, who has held the role of prime minister for a little more than a month. By the numbers: One research institute estimated that the government could have to make 60 billion pounds (about $66.5 billion) in spending cuts if it sticks to its tax-reduction plans.

The demonstrations began almost a month ago after the death of Mahsa Amini, 22, while she was in the custody of the morality police. She had been arrested under the country’s rule requiring women to cover their hair in public. The government has imposed a violent crackdown on the demonstrations. Some have turned into chaotic street battles, with the security forces opening fire on protesters or on local residents. Human rights groups said at least 185 people had been killed and thousands injured or arrested, though disruptions to the internet made it difficult to confirm the true toll. Workers in the country’s vital oil and energy sectors have staged strikes for two days. Eleven workers were arrested on Tuesday, but the walkouts continued, according to news reports. Strikes that could further damage the economy carry a heavy weight in Iran’s history. During the 1979 Islamic revolution, strikes in those sectors were a powerful tool that accelerated the collapse of the shah’s rule.
