🇹🇷🇸🇾 Two additional earthquakes struck southeastern Turkey near the Syrian border yesterday, killing at least three people and injuring 200+ more. The tremors, registering 6.4 and 5.8 in magnitude, came exactly two weeks after a series of larger earthquakes across Turkey and Syria killed at least 44,000 people, and caused billions of dollars worth of structural damages.

🇺🇦 President Biden paid a surprise visit to the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv yesterday. Biden’s visit to Ukraine marks the first time in modern history that a US president visited an active war zone where America's military was not fighting. It also came less than a week before the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion, which takes place on Friday. In public remarks with President Volodymyr Zelensky, Biden committed $460 million in additional military aid to Ukraine, along with a fresh round of sanctions targeting institutions that have sought to evade existing penalties on Russian banks.

🐦 A Spanish court agreed to extradite a UK native to the US on charges that he hacked several high-profile Twitter accounts in July 2020. The 23-year-old male Briton is accused of gaining access to the profiles of several politicians and celebrities – including Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Kanye West, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk – and using their accounts to ask followers to send bitcoin to a certain wallet, promising to double their money. A Florida teenager accused of masterminding the hacks was previously sentenced to three years in juvenile prison.
