Jason Gavidia, one of the plaintiffs, said he…

This Sunday, September 7, a blood-red lunar eclipse will grace the skies of Europe. The rare event, lasting around 82 minutes, will be the longest total eclipse since 2022. As Earth passes directly between the sun and the moon, only red-filtered light will reach the lunar surface, giving rise to the dramatic “blood moon.” For centuries, such eclipses carried ominous meanings. From Babylon to Central America, they were seen as harbingers of war, death or divine punishment. In contrast, some African traditions, such as those of the Batammaliba in Togo and Benin, regard the blood moon as a call for…

Instead, he invited Putin to come to Kyiv for direct discussions. International Pressure and Stalled Negotiations US President Donald Trump has pushed for face-to-face talks between the Russian and Ukrainian leaders. A direct meeting, whether bilateral or trilateral, was a major…
