US envoys meet with Putin in Moscow on Ukraine talks, then head for Dublin to see Zelenskyy MOSCOW (AP) — U.S. envoys held talks about the fighting in Ukraine with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin.

He sees a political opportunity for peace due to changes in the U.S. Congress and upcoming elections in Europe. Meanwhile, fighting continues, and Ukraine faces new disruptions in its Starlink internet service.

That means a blood test for what's called PSA, or prostate-specific antigen. The new guideline says men at average risk of getting prostate cancer should get a PSA test every two years between the ages of 50 and 69. It says men at high risk, including Black men and those with a strong family history of prostate cancer, should get yearly PSA checks and start earlier at age 45.
