⚡️The 🇺🇸 U.S. has agreed to give 🇰🇷 Seoul a greater voice in consultations on a potential American nuclear response to a 🇰🇵 North Korean attack in return for swearing off developing its own nuclear weapons, U.S. officials said. The accord would grant South Korea’s leadership a long-sought place at the table on the use of U.S. nuclear forces to defend the country, though the U.S. would still retain control over targeting and the execution of nuclear operations. Seoul, in return, would restate its commitment not to develop its own nuclear arsenal.

⚡️🇺🇦 Ukraine is preparing to launch a counteroffensive against 🇷🇺 Russian forces as early as next month, American officials say, in the face of immense risks: Without a decisive victory, Western support for Ukraine could weaken, and Kyiv could come under increasing pressure to enter serious negotiations to end or freeze the conflict. At the same time, 12 Ukrainian combat brigades of about 4,000 soldiers each are expected to be ready at the end of April, according to leaked 🇺🇸 Pentagon documents that offer a hint of Kyiv’s timetable.
