That's what Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines said during a Senate hearing this week. Haines said Russia has intensified strikes on Ukraine's infrastructure to hamper Kyiv's ability to move arms and troops, slow defense production and force it to consider negotiations. The U.S. has sent significant military support to Ukraine to defend itself and recently approved more than 60-billion dollars in aid.       Mexican authorities are questioning a group of people over a trio of missing Americans and Australians. They found a vehicle, tents and a cell phone in a search where the men were last seen. The Baja California prosecutors' office says one American and two Australian brothers were reported missing on April 29th. They were on a surfing and camping trip about 60 miles south of Tijuana. Authorities are talking to three Mexicans in connection with the case, although it's not clear whether any of them are suspects.       The California Supreme Court has ruled a person cannot be detained for trying to avoid cops. The decision specifies that trying to avoid contact with law enforcement does not constitute a crime. The case was brought by a man from Los Angeles who was detained on suspicion of illegal activity when he crouched down behind a car as cops approached.       UFC 301 is all set for tomorrow night in Brazil.
