BRUSSELS (AP) — Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba insisted on Wednesday that NATO allies are showing no sign of war fatigue and remain committed to helping Ukraine defend itself against Russia and take back occupied territory.Speaking to The Associated Press, Kuleba also said that President Vladimir Putin is miscalculating if he sees any value in keeping his forces in Ukraine at least until presidential elections in the United States in a year’s time, which could usher in a new administration.“I heard a clear ‘no’ to any reference to fatigue, and I heard (a) clear ‘yes’ to increased support to Ukraine,” Kuleba said after meeting NATO counterparts in Brussels. He said that some allies had made fresh offers of support, but he declined to provide details.“They understand that in order for them to feel safe, in order for them not to end up in a situation where NATO’s soldiers will have to fight, Ukraine has to win in this war,” Kuleba said.More than 650 days into the war, fightin...

Michigan Iraq War veteran finds mental health support in miniature horse

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:23:56 GMT

MICHIGAN — Seeking help for mental health takes various forms, and for one Iraq War veteran from Michigan, that support comes in the unconventional shape of a miniature horse named “Eli.”While dogs are more commonly recognized as service animals, miniature horses like Eli are granted similar protections under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The veteran, who suffers from mild Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and severe Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), attests to the profound impact Eli has had on his well-being.“Since I’ve had him, it’s really helped out. And I can’t say that enough. Eli has really helped me out with my agitation and other issues that I have as a disabled veteran,” shares Andrew.Veterans Affairs policies currently limit service animals inside their buildings to dogs. Andrew aims to challenge this restriction, advocating for the inclusion of miniature horses like Eli as recognized service companions.
