September 21, 2023: House Republicans, Russia strikes Ukraine, Zelenskiy visits Capitol, Assad in China, Canada- India tensions
1. US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy will try to restart his stalled Republican spending agenda on Thursday, with a procedural vote on a fiscal 2024 defense appropriations bill that Republicans have already twice failed to advance.
2. Russia carried out its biggest missile attack in weeks across Ukraine on Thursday, pounding energy facilities in what officials said appeared to be the first salvo in a new air campaign against the Ukrainian power grid.
3. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy visits the U.S. capitol on Thursday as Republican skeptics question whether Congress should approve a new round of aid for his country despite slower-than-hoped-for progress fighting Russian invaders.
4. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has arrived in China's eastern city of Hangzhou, kicking off his first visit to the Asian nation since 2004 as he makes further strides to end more than a decade of diplomatic isolation amid Western sanctions.
5. Canada this week divulged it had intelligence possibly linking Indian government agents to the murder of a separatist Sikh leader, the kind of news that usually sparks uproar among democratic allies. Not this time.
