Russia unlikely to face criticism at Central Asian meeting

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:59:32 GMT

PANAJI, India (AP) — Russia is unlikely to face backlash over its war in Ukraine at an upcoming meeting of Central Asian foreign ministers and instead could flex its influence with the regional group. The meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization ministers Friday in India’s picturesque state of Goa is the latest avenue for the host nation to burnish its geopolitical credentials as it seeks to cement itself as a consequential global player.It won’t have to contend with an East-West split over the war in Europe, which caused frustration for New Delhi as the chair for this year’s meetings of the Group of 20 leading economies. But India will be looking to secure its own interests in the region, especially as Russia relies more deeply on India’s rival China as Moscow’s invasion drags on, analysts say.India will also be hosting archrival Pakistan’s foreign minister in the first visit from a high-ranking official in nearly a decade.“Russia needs friends. And in the SCO, ...

MIAMI (AP) — The Atlanta Braves are placing right-hander Kyle Wright on the injured list after he left in the third inning of Wednesday’s 14-6 win over the Miami Marlins with right shoulder soreness.“It sucks,” Wright said after the game, fighting back tears. He opened the season on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation and had a cortisone shot in January, though he wasn’t sure Wednesday if it was the same issue that caused his early exit.Wright said he started feeling discomfort in the second inning but felt good enough to stay in the game until three batters into the third.“I didn’t feel good enough to keep going,” Wright said. “At that point, I wasn’t being smart. I give Kranny (pitching coach Rick Kranitz) a lot of credit for protecting me from myself.”Manager Brian Snitker said he and Kranitz suspected something was off when they noticed a dip in Wright’s velocity. His fastball velocity hit 94.8 to start the game, dipped to 92.6 in the second and 9...

He is working on an initiative to get a property tax measure on the ballot this year or next year."Basically, this would not be billions of dollars like the governor's plan would be to take TABOR refunds from people.
