Former Pioneer Press reporter Brian Bonner has lived in Ukraine for 14 years where he led the Kyiv Post, Ukraine’s English-language newspaper, until 2021. One of his main responsibilities? Reporting on Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin.

The humanitarian crisis in Ukraine is deepening as Russian forces intensify their shelling and food, water, heat and medicine grow increasingly scarce. Ukraine says it is facing a medieval-style siege by Moscow to batter it into submission.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz spoke to the crowd, after issuing a proclamation calling the Russian invasion of Ukraine “unprovoked and unlawful.”

The new travel advisory was issued Saturday over heightened security concerns in the country as Russian military forces carry out an “unprovoked and unjustified attack” in Ukraine, the State Department said.

Ukrainian officials said the work to evacuate civilians from two cities had halted amid shelling, just hours after Russia announced the deal.

The Russian invasion has sparked an interest in books about Ukraine. There are many out there. If you're not sure where to get started, we've got you covered.

Russian shelling of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant that sparked a fire at one of its six reactors has raised fears of a disaster that could affect all of central Europe for decades, like the 1986 Chernobyl meltdown. 

The bombing was the latest act of violence in majority Sunni Muslim Pakistan, where minority Shiite Muslims have come under repeated attacks.

U.N. and Ukrainian officials say no radiation was released from a Russian attack at Europe’s biggest nuclear power plant in Ukraine and firefighters have extinguished a blaze at the facility. 

The embrace of those fleeing the Russian invasion is far different from the cold shoulder refugees from the Middle East and Africa have received. Race, culture and politics are all part of the story.
