East took the king and returned a club.Declarer won and had to attack the spades. He led low to dummy’s jack, losing to East’s king, and ducked the spade return, hoping West had held the doubleton ace. Alas, down one.HIGH CLUBSSouth fell when he tried to find a lucky lie of the spades, but he slipped earlier. After South draws trumps, he can take two more high clubs, pitching a diamond from dummy, and then lead the ace and queen of diamonds.The defender who wins is end-played.

El acuerdo permitía a Ucrania exportar grano desde sus puertos y navegar de forma segura a través del mar Negro, hasta el estrecho del Bósforo, en Turquía.“Desgraciadamente, la parte de los acuerdos del Mar Negro que concierne a Rusia no se ha aplicado hasta ahora”, declaró este lunes a la prensa el portavoz del Kremlin, Dmitri Peskov. “Por lo tanto, su acuerdo se ha dado por terminado.

Uno de los principales problemas a los que se han enfrentado las fuerzas terrestres de Kyiv a medida que se pone en marcha su contraofensiva es que el poder aéreo ruso la frena.
