Nothing will make an announcement on April 1
Today, the company tweeted that it will be holding an announcement tomorrow, April 1. During the announcement, Nothing founder Carl Pei also mentioned that Nothing intends to create a kind of open ecosystem meant to compete with other ecosystems that lock the user into their lineup of products. Otherwise, there aren’t any actual specifications offered, but that may change tomorrow when Nothing makes its “(1) more thing” announcement. The Nothing Launcher will be arriving next month, so perhaps the announcement could be related to that. Perhaps Nothing plans to make a real announcement to break through the noise on a day otherwise reserved for cheeky jokes and fake announcements.

Biden says Putin 'cannot remain in power'
WARSAW, Poland — President Joe Biden on Saturday dramatically escalated his rhetoric against Vladimir Putin, calling for the Russian leader to be removed because of his brutal invasion of Ukraine. Earlier in the day, as Biden met with Ukrainian refugees, Russia kept up its pounding of cities throughout Ukraine. Some of the women and children told Biden that they fled without their husbands and fathers, men of fighting age who were required to remain behind to aid the resistance against Putin's forces. “Your freedom is ours," Biden told Poland's president, Andrzej Duda earlier, echoing one of that country's unofficial mottos. “I’m confident that Vladimir Putin was counting on dividing NATO," Biden said.

Biden visits Poland, a complex ally on Ukraine's doorstep
Biden met on Friday with American soldiers who are serving alongside Polish troops on NATO’s eastern flank. More than 2.2 million refugees have entered Poland since the start of the month-old war, and many propose to stay there. The European Union has accused Poland of eroding judicial independence since the Law and Justice party started governing in 2015. In 2018, while asking the U.S. to establish a permanent military base in Poland, Duda proposed calling it "Fort Trump.”The proposal sparked some mockery in Europe and was quickly dropped. Before Biden returns to Washington on Saturday, he is expected to address the Polish people.

Why the Nightmarish Stalemate in Ukraine Won’t End Soon
Russia is pulverizing Ukrainian cities with missiles and artillery; Ukraine is slamming Russian tanks and supply lines with drones and small arms. Ukrainian generals guess that the Russian troops could run out of supplies by the end of this week. Earlier this week, Putin outlined a four-point peace plan, but it wasn’t serious. It called for Ukraine to give up plans to join NATO, acknowledge Russian ownership of Crimea, demilitarize, and denazify. Maybe this war will come to a sudden halt if Russia’s troops run out of gas or the Ukrainian resistance loses its will.
