Russian troops near the Ukrainian capital and an investigation by the Federal Police (PF) into statements by President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) associating the Covid-19 vaccine with AIDS are among the highlights of the afternoon of March 3.
War in Ukraine
On the eighth day of the war in Ukraine, Russian troops deployed near Kiev, the country’s capital. According to the US Department of Defense, the Russians either stopped to regroup before a possible invasion of the capital or are facing challenges such as lack of supplies and resistance from civilians.
Vladimir Putin
Russian President Vladimir Putin guarantees that Russia will achieve its goals in Ukraine “whatever happens”. He made this statement in conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron. Russia calls the war in Ukraine a “special operation” to destroy the country’s military capabilities and capture what it considers “dangerous nationalists”.
Volodymyr Zelensky
The president of Ukraine declared this Thursday (3) that he is also ready for whatever is necessary, but to achieve peace. Zelensky also said that Ukrainians do not want to kill, and that the country’s doctors are also treating wounded Russians.
Instability at Banco Itaú
An instability in the Itaú bank application led several users to report cash outflows or inflows into their accounts this Thursday morning (3). The institution’s official page responded to several of the complaints made by customers on social media. In the messages, Itaú confirms the instability and says that the problem is being resolved.
PF investigates Bolsonaro
The Federal Police (PF) began an investigation into the statement by President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), who linked vaccination against Covid-19 to the risk of developing AIDS. This relationship, which does not exist, was made by Bolsonaro in a broadcast on his social networks in 2021. The investigation was opened on December 3 by determination of Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Court.
