The International Longshoremen’s Association and its 45,000 members from Maine to Texas went on strike Tuesday after a last-minute exchange of contract offers with the US Maritime Association failed to produce a contract agreement, reports Maryland Matters.

Ukrainian officials say the Russians deliberately poisoned the Seym River, which flows into the Desna. The Desna connects with a reservoir in the Kyiv region and a water supply used by millions, reports The Guardian. According to Kyiv, chemical waste from a sugar factory had been dumped in vast quantities into the Seym. It included ammonia, magnesium, and other poisonous nitrates. The pollution crossed the international border just over a mile away and made its way into Ukraine’s Sumy region. The Seym’s natural ecosystem crashed. Fish, molluscs, and crayfish were asphyxiated as oxygen levels fell to near zero.

Zephr shortly sent six Android Pixel phones loaded with their software to Ukraine, and in April began conducting field tests near the frontlines in Donetsk.
