This is a major escalation in the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and European allies are also sending tanks to Ukraine, potentially giving the country an upper hand in the spring.

Protests were held in Florida over the rejection of an African American studies course, with activists accusing the governor of undermining rights and exclusion. On a positive note, the Biden administration took steps to protect the Tongass National Forest in Alaska from logging and road development, which is crucial for wildlife and climate change mitigation. Google announced it would end the controversial exemption of political campaigns from email spam filters. Lastly, researchers are working on a bionic nose technology to help millions of people with long-term loss of smell, including those affected by COVID-19. These developments highlight the complexity and diversity of issues shaping our society, from criminal justice and education to environmental protection and health care.
