Military officials say Ukraine has retaken four small towns from Russian-held territory. This follows much talk of a Ukrainian counteroffensive. And, US and Mexican authorities confirmed that eight young workers were killed in western Mexico, after they supposedly tried to quit their jobs at a call center operated by a violent drug cartel. Also, in March, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Russia’s commissioner for children’s rights Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova. The charges were related to the forced deportation of children from Ukraine to Russia. Plus, the prehistoric bird bones that were used as flutes.
