Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy addresses, via videolink, the opening ceremony of the Council of Europe summit in Reykjavik, Iceland, May 16, 2023. Leaders from across the continent are laser-focused on holding Russia to account for its invasion of Ukraine and were poised to approve a system during their Council of Europe summit that would precisely establish the damages Moscow would have to pay to rebuild the nation.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s recent appeal to European leaders has brought in more military aid for the country’s defense against Russia. It’s an indication that Western officials believe Kyiv’s forces could reclaim significant swaths of territory. Also, in southern Mexico, droughts are getting worse. That’s forcing farmers to adjust and adapt. And, with the end of the pandemic-era rule known as Title 42 last week, the rules for seeking asylum at the US border have changed dramatically. They can be confusing. So, just how does the process work? Plus, across Ghana, waste picking is crucial for building a “circular economy” to eliminate waste. It’s also a vital survival strategy for many. But it’s a dangerous, undervalued job.
