When Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told the world last month, “I need ammunition, not a ride,” the ammo he especially wanted was anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles. Since then, countries around the world have energetically responded, sending shipments that include Javelin anti-tank missiles and Strela anti-aircraft missiles.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — The Russian tanks and missiles besieging Ukraine also are threatening the food supply and livelihoods of people in Europe, Africa and Asia who rely on the vast, fertile farmlands of the Black Sea region — known as the “breadbasket of the world.”

The omicron surge is in rapid decline across the nation. The carnage left behind is indisputable, with over 900,000 deaths to date and hundreds of thousands of people who required hospitalization along the way.
