German president arrives in Ukraine as tensions rise

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Germany’s president arrived in Kyiv Tuesday for his first visit to Ukraine since the start of Russia’s invasion, a trip that comes amid Moscow’s unsubstantiated warnings of a “dirty bomb” attack as the conflict enters its ninth month.

Citizens in the southern city of Mykolaiv lined up for water and essential supplies Tuesday as Ukrainian forces advanced on the nearby Russian-occupied city of Kherson.

The apocalypse will be pricey: Visit luxury ‘survival condos’ in an old missile silo

Mark Menosky, project manager of the Survival Condo complex, walked back into the former missile silo site where some condo owners rode the pandemic. But these 14 bunker condos are real, and available now to cash buyers only (because what bank will lend to someone planning for the world to end?).

Mark Menosky, project manager of the Survival Condo, showed off the fresh lettuce grown inside the site’s hydroponic farm.

The loss dropped the Bucs to 3-5 – the first time Brady has ever had a sub-.500 record after eight games.
