 Russia launches massive drone and missile barrage on Ukraine, killing at least 18 civilians and striking Kyiv and multiple cities  Russia carried out a large-scale overnight assault on Ukraine, launching hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles that killed at least 18 civilians and wounded more than 100 others across multiple cities, officials said Tuesday. The strikes hit Kyiv, Dnipro and other regions, with emergency crews working through destroyed residential buildings where some victims were trapped under rubble. In Dnipro, rescuers recovered the bodies of a 3-year-old child and a mother and her 8-year-old son, while officials reported 12 deaths in the city and six in Kyiv. The bombardment stretched from night into daylight, with explosions reported across wide areas of the country.

 Joe Biden’s Son, Hunter Biden Faces Up To 17 Years In Prison Over Tax Evasion After Guilty Plea


Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, has pleaded guilty to nine federal tax charges in a Los Angeles courtroom on Thursday, potentially facing a maximum of 17 years in prison.


District Judge Mark Scarsi, appointed by former President Trump, accepted the plea and scheduled the sentencing for December 16, as reported by CNN. The charges include tax evasion, filing fraudulent tax returns, and failure to pay taxes. Additionally, Judge Scarsi mentioned that Biden could be liable for a fine of up to $1.3 million.


In the courtroom, prosecutor Leo Wise, who led the case, expressed astonishment at Biden's change of plea, stating, "We were as surprised as everyone else in the courtroom this morning."


Biden's attorney, Abbe Lowell, defended his client's actions, indicating, "Hunter decided to enter his plea to shield his loved ones from unnecessary distress and harsh humiliation." 


Lowell further emphasized that the plea was made to avoid another public trial revolving around Biden’s addiction struggles, stating, "This plea prevents a trial that would not have presented all the facts or served any significant purpose in the pursuit of justice."


Biden's case has garnered attention due to the potential of a presidential pardon. Despite this, the White House reaffirmed on Thursday that President Biden had ruled out this option. 


Hunter Biden had previously faced trial in June for gun-related charges, resulting in a conviction, and he is currently awaiting sentencing scheduled for November 13.
