Russian President Vladimir Putin’s lengthy speech on Monday laid out his view on the war in Ukraine. He said Russia would step back from its last major nuclear arms agreement with the US. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden focused on the US’ unwavering support for its allies in an address given in Poland. And, Russia continues to throw men and munitions at Ukrainian forces in an effort to take control of more territory in the eastern regions of the country. Ammunition is running lower for both sides. Also, a new 6.4-magnitude earthquake rocked the already stricken Hatay province in southern Turkey on Monday evening, killing at least six people. Plus, feasts and festivals to celebrate the day before Lent begins.
