Russia Assumes UN Security Council Presidency Amid Criticism from Ukraine and Calls for Release of US Reporter
Russia has taken over the presidency of the U.N. Security Council for one month, despite objections from the U.S. and Ukraine. Meanwhile, pressure is mounting on Moscow to release Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who was detained on espionage charges. In Ukraine, a project called the War Childhood Museum is collecting comfort items like plush animals and security blankets from children affected by the war, to document their experiences and personal memories.
