US Treasury official visits Ukraine to discuss sanctions on Russia and seizing Russian assets
A senior U.S. Treasury official is in Kyiv this week to talk with government officials about U.S. financial support for Ukraine, efforts to tighten sanctions on Russia and plans to use immobilized Russian sovereign assets for the benefit of Ukraine as it fends off Russian forces. Deputy Secretary Wally Adeyemo's trip comes as Russia gains territory on the battlefield after an especially lengthy delay in U.S. military aid left Ukraine at the mercy of Russia’s bigger army and as the outlook for Ukraine’s state finances is on shakier ground.

Dopey driver tries - and fails - to carry sofa on top of car
A dopey driver tried to carry sofa on top of their car - before it flew off as they went around a roundabout. The large charcoal grey sofa was spotted tied to the roof of the black Ford as it approached a roundabout in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, on May 27. A single piece of string attaching the furniture to the vehicle gave way as the car swung around and the sofa fell to the ground in the rain. Thankfully no one appeared to be harmed in the incident.
