Russian fuel sales directly convert into strikes on Kyiv energy sites, Zelensky said, noting each earned billion will fund parts, missiles, and mercenaries, while urging the US and Europe to send strong signals and firmly limit Moscow ability to wage war.

Top executives at Anthropic, OpenAl and other Al companies are privately gaming out scenarios for a public and political revolt after a catastrophic AI event.
Why it matters: These officials anticipate a large-scale event, most likely a cyberattack, that shuts down access to financial services, internet connectivity, or even power and water.
