(CNN) — Estados Unidos y Europa tienen dificultades para suministrar a Ucrania la gran cantidad de munición que necesitará para una contraofensiva prolongada contra Rusia, y los funcionarios occidentales se apresuran a aumentar la producción para evitar una escasez en el campo de batalla que podría obstaculizar el progreso de Ucrania.El escaso suministro de munición de artillería sirvió de llamada de atención a la OTAN, según declararon funcionarios estadounidenses y occidentales a CNN, ya que la alianza no se preparó adecuadamente para la posibilidad de una guerra terrestre prolongada en Europa tras décadas de relativa paz.El secretario de Defensa del Reino Unido, Ben Wallace, declaró a CNN la semana pasada que, aunque la OTAN estaba preparada desde el principio para una ofensiva de “noche uno, día uno”, “nadie se había planteado realmente la pregunta, bueno, ¿y si “día uno, noche uno” se convierte en “semana dos, semana tres, semana cuatro...

Aliyah Boston just wanted to fit in as a WNBA rookie.She has, and more. The first-time All Star’s historic season has made her the front-runner for rookie of the year honors and infused renewed hope for the Indiana Fever franchise.The organization’s league record-tying 20 game losing streak ended in May and Indiana already has matched last season’s victory total (five).

And maybe some second-half magic will finally put Indiana in the playoffs for the first time since 2016.With Boston, anything seems possible.“I knew she was special, but she’s exceeded it,” first-year coach Christy Sides said. “You just don’t know until you get into this league how you’re going to respond. It’s the different levels, size, speed, quickness, strength — she hadn’t faced that night in and night out. She takes everything in, she talks to every coach, she watches video with every...

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Swedish tennis player Mikael Ymer was banned for 18 months on Tuesday for missing three out-of-competition doping tests in a 12-month period.The decision came from the Court of Arbitration for Sport after it partially upheld an appeal from the International Tennis Federation.“Having already been cleared once, and wholeheartedly standing by the fact that I do not feel that the third offense was committed, I find their decision to try me again and subsequently find me guilty, unfair,” Ymer wrote on Twitter. “On top of that, I find it difficult to comprehend that they found an 18-month suspension to be a just punishment.”Ymer, who also stressed that he has “never … used nor been accused of using banned substances,” was initially charged by the ITF in January 2022 after his third whereabouts violation, at a Challenger tournament in France the previous November.He accepted his first two whereabouts failures but argued that in the third instance he...
