Trump wants Ukraine to admit that Russia can keep Crimea. His peace plan puts the peninsula at the heart of talks with Putin. The exact details remain unpublished, but reports say America would recognize Russian control of the area as legal. Trump believes Crimea was lost long ago when Russia took it without major fighting.
Ukrainian President Zelensky refuses this idea completely. He points to the Ukrainian constitution, which says the country cannot give away territory. Any change needs a national vote approved by parliament. Russian officials see this legal requirement as blocking peace efforts. Changing the constitution during martial law is impossible.
Russia grabbed Crimea in 2014 when masked soldiers in green uniforms seized...

The Mabvuku-based team grabbed headlines with star signings Walter Musona and Khama Billiat. But behind the scenes, trouble brews at every level of the club.
Club founder Pedzai Sakupwanya stands at the center of the storm. After a March loss to Ngezi Platinum Stars, he publicly blasted his team despite their star-filled roster.

Fans wonder if Scottland coach Tonderai Ndiraya faces trouble after seven games with the league newcomers. Some question his abilities despite Scottland having 12 points, just five behind surprise leaders MWOS.

Walter Basopo died Tuesday at age 66 in a South African hospital after battling illness for months. The retired spy served Zimbabwe for 45 years, starting as a freedom fighter against white rule. Born February 23, 1959, in Gutu District, he left school in 1976 to join the liberation forces. He trained at camps in Mozambique before becoming a guerrilla fighter with ZANLA forces.
A terrible car crash in 1979 cost him an arm just as he prepared for advanced training abroad. He returned to Zimbabwe during ceasefire talks that same year. After independence, he joined the Central Intelligence Organisation in November 1980 as a trainee. Basopo rose through the ranks steadily, earning promotions almost every few years from stations across the...
