The humanitarian crisis in Ukraine deepens

Russia’s military escalation impacts more populations in Ukraine. In addition to the siege of the capital Kyiv, places like Mariupol, Irpin and Volnovakha have been ravaged with war power and their resilience tested because attempts at a humanitarian corridor have failed. Meanwhile, more than a million people have crossed the border into Poland, and according to the UN at least 1.5 million people have fled Ukraine in just over 10 days and more than 360 civilians have been killed since the start of the invasion.

Plans for a Ukrainian government in exile

Europe and the US have discussed how they would support a government-in-exile led by Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, if I had to leave Kyiv. Some options being considered: a move to Lviv and even a government in Poland, plans in which Zelensky has no interest so far. And what happens if the president of Ukraine is missing? The Ukrainians, according to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, have plans “to make sure there is continuity.”

Violence shakes Mexican soccer

It happened on Saturday during the match between Querétaro and Atlas: rival fans clashed in a massive fight that so far has left 26 injured and three people in serious health, according to the governor of Querétaro. How did something like this happen? What do the authorities say? Are there detainees? What are the sanctions contemplated? The scandal in Mexican football is still intact.

What else? This text by Kent Sepkowitz explains it.
