KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — NATO allies and partner countries have delivered more than 98% of the combat vehicles promised to Ukraine during Russia’s invasion and war, the military alliance’s chief said Thursday, giving Kyiv a bigger punch as it contemplates launching a counteroffensive.
Along with more than 1,550 armored vehicles, 230 tanks and other equipment, Ukraine’s allies have sent “vast amounts of ammunition” and also trained and equipped more than nine new Ukrainian brigades, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said.
More than 30,000 troops are estimated to make up the new brigades. Some NATO partner countries, such as Sweden and Australia, have also provided armored vehicles.
“This will put Ukraine in a strong position to continue to retake occupied territory,” Stoltenberg told reporters in Brussels.
His comments came a day after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he and Chinese leader Xi Jinping held a “long and meaningful” phone call in their first known contact since Russia’s full-scale invasion more than a year ago.
Though Zelenskyy said he was encouraged by Wednesday’s call and Western officials welcomed Xi’s move, it didn’t appear to improve peace prospects.
Russia and Ukraine are far apart in their terms for peace, and Beijing — while looking to position itself as a global diplomatic power — has refused to criticize Moscow’s invasion. The Chinese government sees Russia as a diplomatic ally in opposing U.S. influence in global affairs, and Xi visited Moscow last month.
Stoltenberg said the 31 NATO allies were committed to shoring up Ukraine’s military, adding that taking back land the Kremlin’s forces occupied would give Kyiv a stronger negotiating position if peace talks occur.
Ukrainian officials said China’s overture was encouraging. Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal on Thursday described the call between Xi and Zelenskyy as “very productive.”
“I’m convinced it is a good beginning for our relations in the future,″ Shmyhal said after visiting Pope Francis at the Vatican.
But the Kremlin’s response was lukewarm.
Asked if the call could help end the fighting, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters: “We are ready to welcome anything that could lead to the termination of the conflict in Ukraine and the achievement of all the goals set by Russia.”
Peskov said the conversation between the Chinese and Ukrainian leaders was “the sovereign business of those countries and the issue of their bilateral dialogue.”
With battlefield positions in Ukraine largely static in what’s become a war of attrition, Russian forces have kept up their bombardment of Ukrainian areas, often hitting apartment buildings and other civilian infrastructure.
At least seven civilians were killed and 33 were injured between Wednesday and Thursday, Ukraine’s presidential office said Thursday.
They included one person killed and 23 wounded, including a child, when four Kalibr cruise missiles hit the southern city of Mykolaiv, a regional official said. The governor of Mykolaiv province, Vitalii Kim, said 22 multi-story buildings, 12 private houses and other residential buildings were damaged.
Kalibr missiles are launched from ships or submarines, The ones that hit Mykolaiv were fired from the Black Sea, according to Ukraine’s Operational Command South.
In other developments:
— Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree allowing the deportation from annexed Ukrainian territories of residents who refuse to become Russian citizens. Starting in July of next year, Russia will consider such residents to be foreigners who can be expelled from territory that Russian authorities consider to be Russian. Putin annexed four Ukrainian regions last September, building on his 2014 annexation of Crimea. Many countries have condemned the moves as illegal.
— Putin, who has often dwelt on history and his interpretation of it to advance his policy views, ordered his government on Thursday to prepare public studies about what he calls his “special military operation” in Ukraine. The effort is to include museums, adding to an announcement by one of his ministers that new school textbooks discussing the military operation are to be introduced in September.
— The head of Russia’s mercenary Wagner Group repeated claims that the Russian military is withholding ammunition from his soldiers, who are leading the fight in the eastern city of Bakhmut, the war’s bloodiest battle. In social media posts, Yevgeny Prigozhin said without providing specifics that “a criminal group did not give us ammunition,” forcing his fighters to do whatever they can with a “minimal quantity of ammunition.” Prigozhin claimed ammunition stockpiles are withheld because of “treason” by Russian officials, whom he described as “thugs.”

PHOENIX (AP) — Thanks to the pitch clock, the action is moving much faster at Major League Baseball games.
It also means a little less time for fans to enjoy a frosty adult beverage.
To combat that time crunch, at least four teams — the Arizona Diamondbacks, Texas Rangers, Minnesota Twins and Milwaukee Brewers — have extended alcohol sales through the eighth inning this season. Others, like the Miami Marlins and New York Mets, still have seventh-inning cutoffs, but haven’t ruled out changes.
“Totally makes sense to me,” said Tom Lienhardt, who was sipping on a beer Tuesday night before the Brewers-Diamondbacks game at Chase Field. “Since the games are shorter, you’ve got to adjust.”
Teams historically have stopped selling alcohol after the seventh.
At least one team, the Baltimore Orioles, already sold alcohol through the eighth inning, or until 3 1/2 hours after first pitch, whichever came first.
MLB games have been considerably shorter this season, largely thanks to a series of rule changes, particularly the new pitch clock. Through the first 1 1/2 weeks of the season, the average game time was down 31 minutes, on track to be the sport’s lowest since 1984.
The minor leagues played with the pitch clock last season. At least one minor league general manager — Kevin Mahoney of the Class A Brooklyn Cyclones — said there was no dropoff in concession sales even with shorter games.
Still, some big league teams have felt the need to make adjustments.
The Rangers allowed some alcohol sales in the eighth inning last season, but have made that option more widely available in 2023. The team said the move to offer in-seat service to everyone — fans can order on their phones — was done partly in reaction to the pitch clock and the potential of shorter game times so fans would not have to miss extended action waiting in lines at concession stands.
Brewers President of business operations Rick Schlesinger confirmed to MLB.com that their team’s move to extend alcohol sales through the eighth was an experiment.
“If it turns out that this is causing an issue or we feel that it might cause an issue, then we’ll revert to what we have done previously,” Schlesinger said.
MLB says it does not regulate when teams sell alcohol. Most franchises have used the seventh inning as a cutoff, at least partly to avoid overserving customers who could then get in their cars and drive home.
But in reality, most teams already had areas around the ballpark where fans could get alcohol after the seventh, even if the concession stands stopped serving. Many parks are connected to restaurants or have VIP areas where the booze still flows.
“If it cuts off sales in the seventh inning, the eighth inning or the ninth inning, that really doesn’t affect our stance because regardless, we just don’t want people to drink alcohol and then drive home from the game,” said Erin Payton, Regional Executive Director for Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

Bob Parsons, the founder of GoDaddy and Parsons Xtreme Golf (PXG), was not a Vietnam War protester in the 1960s. The Baltimore, Maryland, native enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and was a part of the 26th Marine Regiment before serving as a rifleman in Vietnam in 1969. He spent two months in a naval hospital after being wounded in action and earned a Purple Heart, the combat action ribbon and the Vietnam Vietnam Gallantry Cross.
But in a recent interview in Esquire, Parsons, who is now 72, made it clear that he is with the people who have protested outside LIV Golf events against the Saudi-backed tour.
“I will say this here, on the LIV tour, I consider myself a patriot,” Parsons said. “With the stuff that went down at 9/11, I have a hard time getting involved with them. I know, sometimes, bygones got to be bygones, and I’ve forgiven a lot of people. One of them is Jane Fonda for what she did during the Vietnam War. I’m no longer angry at her. I get it. She was young and stupid. But I just cannot bring myself to do anything with [LIV], and the guys who are heroes, they all agree with that.”

Parsons is a fan of wearing all black, riding powerful motorcycles (he owns Harley-Davidson dealerships) and loves nothing more than supporting American veterans. He has donated millions of dollars to veteran-related charities, give members of the military and first responders get a discount on PXG gear and even gave holes at Scottsdale National Golf Club, which Parsons owns, military-inspired names and plaques.
Knowing that, LIV golfers should not bother calling Parsons or PXG regarding future sponsorships.
“Well, we really don’t have guys on that tour,” Parsons said. “I mean, we’ve had some guys that had contracts that went on that tour, and I honored the contracts. But now that the contracts are up, I have no contract with them, and I don’t think they can contract with sponsors with the LIV tour, at least. I don’t know. I could be speaking out of school, but if I had an opportunity to come up and do it, I wouldn’t do it.”
Pat Perez had previously had an endorsement deal with PXG and Patrick Reed signed a deal with PXG in January 2022. Both players are now with the LIV Golf League and neither appears on the PXG website. The company’s current staff is headlined by U.S. Ryder Cup captain Zach Johnson, along with Joel Dahmen, who was a star in the Netflix series “Full Swing.”

Every time The Martian swings, there is potential for serious liftoff. Time to check on those satellites.
That’s because Jasson Domínguez entered the stratosphere again Tuesday, when the Yankees’ No. 2 prospect led Double-A Somerset to a 5-2 win over Harrisburg. Domínguez homered and drove in three runs in another big day at the plate, which he’s making more of a routine after a slow start to the season with the Patriots.
Domínguez’s second homer of the year was another moonshot, clearing not only the right field bullpen but also the boardwalk beyond it at Harrisburg’s FNB Field. Domínguez added a bases-clearing opposite-field double in his second turn at-bat, though he was credited with only two RBIs on the play.
It was nonetheless another banner day for Domínguez, currently ranked the game’s No. 41 overall prospect per MLB Pipeline. Perhaps one you could see coming. It’s been exactly a week since Domínguez’s first home run of the season cracked him out of a 2-for-30 funk to begin the year in dramatic fashion. And while the results haven’t been there in the games since, Domínguez’s plate discipline — as sure a sign as any that a hitter is seeing the ball well at the plate — sure has, with the 20-year-old outfielder accumulating seven walks over the next four games.
Domínguez then drove in three runs in his first two plate appearances Tuesday, while adding another big swing to his growing highlight reel.
This is the kind of raw power Domínguez showed off in his first, very brief stop at Somerset down the stretch in 2022, when he helped the Patriots to their first Eastern League championship with a huge performance in the clincher. He also showed it at Major League Spring Training this spring, when he was a top performer despite being the youngest player in Yankees camp. And really, he’s showed it everywhere, ever since signing with the Yankees for $5.1 million out of the Dominican Republic in 2019.
Domínguez was one of the most hyped international prospects ever at the time, drawing comparisons to Bo Jackson, Mickey Mantle and Mike Trout as a 16-year-old and earning the nickname “The Martian” for his seemingly otherworldly abilities. And while the teenager with the alien nickname has experienced some very human growing pains in his development, his ceiling remains sky high. After smashing 16 homers across three levels as a 19-year-old in ’22 and four in Yankees camp this spring, he now has two in 14 regular season games in 2023, to go along with nine steals.
If he can start tapping into those big tools consistently, there is no telling where he might finish the year.
