Eastern Ukraine border residents weigh in on Russia conflict
Ukrainian soldiers train during military drills close to Kharkiv, Ukraine, Feb. 10, 2022.
Russia’s Defense Ministry announced on Tuesday that it’s pulling some troops back, away from Russia’s borders with Ukraine. Residents living in Kharkiv, near the Russian border, are keenly aware of what’s at stake. And the former president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, has only been out of office for three weeks. He’s now facing extradition to the US. Plus, musician Luke Sital-Singh had a religious upbringing, with Indian and Jamaican roots. Now an atheist, he’s been thinking about faith with his new single, “Me & God.”
