BRUSSELS — Kyiv is seeking a commitment on its NATO membership aspirations at a summit next month, Ukraine’s ambassador to the alliance said on Tuesday.Speaking to POLITICO in Brussels, Ukrainian Ambassador to NATO Natalia Galibarenko said her country wants “some kind of invitation — or at least commitment […] to look at the timeframe and modalities of our membership.”NATO leaders will gather in Vilnius in mid-July for the alliance’s annual summit, and the question of Ukraine’s membership push is set to be the most politically sensitive item on the agenda. But Galibarenko, who has been representing Ukraine at NATO since 2021, presented a clear understanding of that possibility.She acknowledged how, for many, any commitment “is a red line […] because they do believe that it creates a burden for them.” “I can understand the point — I cannot support it,” Galibarenko said, while underscoring that “we are realistic, we are not pushing right now to give us the membership.”...

Peter Jensen: Oriole’s players should be the next ‘Real Housewives’; bring reality TV to the MLB | COMMENTARY

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:58:21 GMT

. My most memorable experience in sports writing, which I’m no expert in, was helping cover Pete Rose when he surpassed Ty Cobb’s career base hits mark in 1985. I was a young reporter working for the now-defunct Cincinnati Post, and it was quite the jaw-dropping moment to walk into a real Major League Baseball locker room and ask questions of a legend like Rose. But I quickly learned something about baseball that everyone involved with the game no doubt takes for granted: The players were a bunch of kids. They acted like kids. They were excited by kid things. They had little awareness of the world around them, just about their game.Oh, they’d straighten up like they were in Sunday school for their on-camera moments with TV reporters or when the ballclub’s public relations staff dragged them to the podium to deal with the rest of the media. And their juvenilia wasn’t about chronological age. Rose was 44 years old on Sept. 11, 1985, when he officially rec...
