♦️Costa Rica's new president Rodrigo Chaves was sworn in on Sunday, promising to fight corruption and revive the economy. The former World Bank economist won a four-year term last month in a runoff with former President Jose María Figueres, himself tainted by a corruption scandal.
The party of Chaves' predecessor Carlos Alvarado was almost obliterated during the first-round election in February, receiving no seats in the new Legislative Assembly. Chaves' Social Democratic Progressive Party has only 10 of 57 seats in the legislature and he turned out to be a surprise qualifier for the runoff, having come forth in the first round.

❗️ Russia preemptively repelled aggression with Ukraine op, Putin says in Victory Day speech
“We saw how the military infrastructure was being deployed, how hundreds of foreign advisers started to work, there were regular deliveries of the most advanced weapons from NATO countries. The threat was increasing every day. Russia preemptively deterred the aggression - this was a forced, timely and the only right decision, a decision of a sovereign, strong and independent country."

⚡️"NATO has created an unacceptable threat," Putin says, as he stresses that the special military operation in Ukraine was "the only right thing" to do
❗️Putin reiterates that NATO completely ignored Russia's concerns and security guarantee proposals presented to the bloc in December 2021.
"NATO nations did not want to hear us, which means that in fact they had completely different plans, and we saw it. Preparations were underway for another punitive operation in Donbass, an invasion of our historical lands, including Crimea," the Russian president said.
Putin reminded that Kiev had made statements about possibly acquiring nuclear weapons.
