This week alone, the Russians have launched over 2,360 attack drones, more than 1,320 guided aerial bombs, and nearly 60 missiles of various types at our cities and communities. https://news.cgtn.com/news/2026-04-19/news-1Mt7Y6fBUU8/p.html 2026-04-19T15:02Z CGTN en 2026-04-19T15:02Z Zelenskyy: Every dollar paid for Russian oil is money for the war. More than 110 tankers from Moscow’s shadow fleet are currently at sea. On board are over 12 million tons of Russian oil, which, due to the easing of sanctions, can once again be sold without consequences. That is $10 billion – a resource that is directly converted into new strikes against Ukraine. https://news.cgtn.com/news/2026-04-19/news-1Mt7ZOoJLAQ/p.html 2026-04-19T15:02Z CGTN en 2026-04-19T15:02Z Zelenskyy: That is why it is important that Russian tankers are stopped, not allowed to deliver oil to ports. The aggressor’s oil exports must decrease, and Ukraine’s long-range sanctions continue to work toward that goal. I am grateful to every one of our warriors for their precision, and I thank all partners who are helping to increase pressure on Russia for this war. https://news.cgtn.com/news/2026-04-19/Iran-s-IRGC-says-Strait-of-Hormuz-closed-until-US-lifts-blockade-1Mt4iP4sSAM/p.html 2026-04-19T15:04Z CGTN en 2026-04-19T15:04Z Iran's IRGC says Strait of Hormuz closed until US lifts blockade https://news.cgtn.com/news/2026-04-19/news-1Mt8C3d3IyY/p.html 2026-04-19T15:11Z CGTN en 2026-04-19T15:11Z Iranian President: The enemy failed to achieve its goals, violated international laws, and attacked infrastructure, schools, and hospitals. - reports https://news.cgtn.com/news/2026-04-19/news-1Mt9tBMm5UI/p.html 2026-04-19T15:23Z CGTN en 2026-04-19T15:23Z Injuries reported in shooting on College and Clinton Street at University of Iowa in Iowa City. - reports https://news.cgtn.com/news/2026-04-19/Chinese-athletes-earn-five-medals-on-Day-3-at-Asian-Judo-Championships-1MsQfsdDUlO/p.html 2026-04-19T15:28Z CGTN en 2026-04-19T15:28Z Chinese athletes earn five medals on third day at Asian Judo Championships in Ordos https://news.cgtn.com/news/2026-04-19/news-1Mt9PX4feh2/p.html 2026-04-19T15:28Z CGTN en 2026-04-19T15:28Z IRAN'S PRESIDENT PEZESHKIAN SAYS U.S. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS NO JUSTIFICATION TO DEPRIVE IRAN OF ITS NUCLEAR RIGHTS - ISNA https://news.cgtn.com/news/2026-04-19/ZXMOTO-s-Debise-finishes-fourth-as-Masia-wins-WorldSSP-race-1-at-Assen-1MsVcfI8Lh6/p.html 2026-04-19T15:29Z CGTN en 2026-04-19T15:29Z ZXMOTO's Debise finishes fourth as Masia wins WorldSSP race 1 at Assen https://news.cgtn.com/news/2026-04-19/news-1Mt9XwMp7e8/p.html 2026-04-19T15:30Z CGTN en 2026-04-19T15:30Z Israeli media: 'The Haifa airport opened today for activity.
