Minsk, Belarús (CNN) — Si algo quedó claro de la conferencia de prensa de este jueves que dio el presidente de Belarús, Alexander Lukashenko, es que el jefe del grupo mercenario ruso Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, a quien no se ha visto en público desde el 24 de junio, parece estar en un limbo decididamente peligroso.Lukashenko puso un abismo de distancia entre él y Prigozhin cuando dijo que ni él ni sus mercenarios estaban en Belarús, y que no estaba claro si alguna vez se trasladarían al país.“Está en San Petersburgo. O quizá esta mañana viaje a Moscú o a otro lugar”, dijo Lukashenko en respuesta a una pregunta de CNN. “Pero ahora no está en el territorio de Belarús”.Cuando el mes pasado se dijo que Lukashenko había mediado en un acuerdo para poner fin al intento de insurrección de Prigozhin en Rusia, el portavoz del Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov, explicó que el acuerdo se produjo porque Prigozhin y Lukashenko se conocían “personalmente desde hacía mucho t...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:57:32 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- An intersection in Denver has repeatedly flooded over the past week or so as storms have dumped excessive rain in the metro area. The intersection lies just west of Interstate 25 at Fox Street and West 38th Avenue. There have been multiple issues with flooding in the area -- one incident included a dive team checking a submerged vehicle for anyone inside last week. Nancy Kuhn with Denver's Department of Transportation and Infrastructure said the storm drains are regularly cleaned, especially before heavy rainfall is expected to prevent flooding."However, because we have received so much rain the last couple of months and the ground is saturated, we’re seeing flooding happening here more frequently this year," Kuhn told FOX31. Drivers rescued from flooded Denver roads One temporary solution, Kuhn said, is to stage barricades nearby for a quicker response to block the area so drivers don't get stuck. Kuhn said the department is also considering adding signage that ...
