AI Summary:
Around 2,200 files — consisting of more than 63,000 pages — were posted on the website of the US National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) on Tuesday. The vast majority of the archives’ 6 million pages of records, photographs, motion pictures, sound recordings and artefacts related to the assassination had already been available to the public. President Donald Trump told reporters that the release was coming, though he estimated it at about 80,000 pages. The incident was captured on film in graphic footage that has been pored over by experts and conspiracy theorists ever since. In 1964, the Warren Commission concluded that Oswald had acted alone and that there was no evidence of a conspiracy. During his first term in 2017, Trump said that he would allow the release of all of the remaining records. FBI said it had discovered 2,400 new records related to the assassination. They include CIA cables and memos discussing visits by Oswald to the Soviet and Cuban embassies during a trip to Mexico City. One CIA memo describes how he phoned the Soviet embassy while in Mexico City to ask for a visa to visit the USSR. Russia and Ukraine launched drone attacks on each other’s territory. Vladimir Putin declined to back a full 30-day ceasefire originally proposed by the US. Russian officials say a Ukrainian drone sparked a small fire. Trump denied the Kremlin’s claim that Putin demanded an end to foreign military and intelligence assistance to Ukraine. Zelenskyy said after the call that Ukraine is open to any proposals that lead to sustainable and just peace. Russia previously demanded Ukraine pull back its troops from four regions Moscow claims it annexed.
