Foreign Policy: Erdogan Is a Key Player in Ukraine—on Both Sides
Turkey's recent presidential and parliamentary elections did not significantly impact Ukraine's ambivalent relationship with the country, which is seen as a strategic partner but not an essential ally, according to Ukrainian observers. While Turkish aid has been acknowledged, Ankara's hampering of EU and US sanctions on Russia, its reliance on Russian gas and its economic ties with Russia have not endeared Ukraine's northern neighbor to the country. The results of the first round of Turkey's presidential election, which favored nationalist parties, have led some to describe Turkish nationalism as the true kingmaker and a fertile ground for pro-Russian narratives.

The Epoch Times: Why the New Breast Cancer Screening Guidelines Won’t Save More Women
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has recommended that women begin screening for breast cancer at age 40, with further checks every other year. The move follows new guidelines published on May 9, and a previous one five years ago suggesting that screening should begin at age 50. The guidelines raise questions about the use of mammograms, which bombard the breast with up to 45 pounds of pressure and ionising radiation. Digital breast tomosynthesis (3D mammography) is now commonly used, although it delivers even more radiation than the older 2D mammograms.
