TOP STORIES

———————————

RUSSIA-UKRAINE-WAR — When Vladimir Putin sent troops into Ukraine in late February, the Russian president vowed his forces would not occupy the country. But as the invasion reaches its 100th day, Moscow seems increasingly unlikely to relinquish the territory it has taken in the war. The Kremlin-installed administrations in both regions have talked about plans to become part of Russia. SENT: 1,040 words, photos.

RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR-ZELENSKYY-100 SPEECHES — As Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy tells it, when Russia invaded 100 days ago, no one expected his country to survive. “But they didn’t know us,” he said. No one knew how a 44-year-old man who had catapulted himself from the world of entertainment into the presidency would respond to an invasion by one of the biggest armies in the world. By Lynn Berry. SENT: 750 words, photos.

RUSSIA-UKRAINE-WAR-100-DAYS-EXPLAINER — One hundred days into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the war has brought the world a near-daily drumbeat of gut-wrenching scenes: Civilian corpses in the streets of Bucha; a blown-up theater in Mariupol; the chaos at a Kramatorsk train station in the wake of a Russian missile strike. By Jamey Keaten and Yura Karmanau. SENT: 1,150 words, photos.

TEXAS-SCHOOL-SHOOTING-CORNYN — Less than 48 hours after a gunman stormed an elementary school and killed 19 children and two teachers in his home state of Texas, Sen. John Cornyn was tapped to lead gun policy negotiations in the Senate.

SENT: 1,025 words, photos.

TULSA-MEDICAL-BUILDING-SHOOTING-SECURITY — Hospitals, like schools, are not typically designed to guard against the threat of a determined gunman entering the building to take lives.

ELECTION 2022-SENATE-PENNSYLVANIA-FETTERMAN — John Fetterman, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, who is recovering from a stroke, said that he almost died from the episode after ignoring warning signs for years and a doctor’s advice to take blood thinners.

By Marc Levy and Michael Rubinkam. SENT: 500 words, photos.

ECONOMY-JOBS-REPORT — U.S. employers added 390,000 jobs in May, extending a streak of solid hiring that has bolstered an economy under pressure from high inflation and rising interest rates. Last month’s gain reflects a resilient job market that has so far shrugged off concerns that the economy will weaken in the coming months as the Federal Reserve steadily raises interest rates to fight inflation. The unemployment rate remained 3.6%, just above a half-century low, the Labor Department said Friday. By Christopher Rugaber. SENT: 1,130 words, photos.
