Talks Fail, Russia-Ukraine War Drags On

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reversed an earlier decision and will now review Moderna's application for approval of its seasonal flu vaccine, while talks between Russia, Ukraine, and the U.S. concluded without a breakthrough, according to reports released Wednesday. Additionally, French authorities arrested two more individuals in connection with the killing of a far-right student activist, bringing the total in custody to 11.

The FDA's decision to review Moderna's application for its seasonal flu vaccine, mRNA-100, came after the agency initially rejected the application last week, according to CBS News. The dispute centered on a 40,000-person clinical trial that found Moderna's new vaccine was more effective in adults aged 50 and older than one of the standard flu shots used today.

Meanwhile, talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine, held in Geneva between Russian, Ukrainian, and U.S. representatives, ended without a breakthrough, BBC World reported. The meetings, which began on Tuesday and concluded Wednesday, were described as "difficult" by both the chief Russian negotiator and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky. After the main talks concluded, Kremlin negotiator Vladimir Medinsky held a closed-door meeting with the Ukrainian side for about an hour and a half, but no details were released.

In France, authorities continued their investigation into the killing of Quentin Deranque, a far-right student activist, BBC World reported. The wave of arrests began on Wednesday, and included a parliamentary aide to LFI politician Raphaël Arnault. Deranque suffered a fatal brain injury during a demonstration last week. A feminist anti-immigration group said Deranque had been helping to protect its members in Lyon.

In other news, according to Fox News, federal agents seized more than 36,000 illegal firearms since President Donald Trump took office. The ATF also seized more than 2.3 million rounds of ammunition, saying Wednesday the illegal firearms and rounds originated with gang members and transnational criminal organizations, among others.

Finally, Republicans are pushing more voting restrictions in Congress, according to the NY Times. The strict voter identification measure that Republicans have pushed through the House is just their opening salvo in a broader legislative effort aimed at keeping control of Congress this fall.
