Resources Sobre Lo Que Pasa En Ukraine

Since Russia launched a full-scale military invasion into Ukraine on February 24, 2022, fighting has caused over two hundred civilian deaths and pushed millions of Ukrainians to flee to neighboring countries — the majority of whom have arrived in Poland, a NATO country where U.S. troops are preparing to offer assistance to refugees.

3. Explainer: How Russia’s war in Ukraine is shuffling US alliances in Latin America
The Miami Herald

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has reverberated across the globe, including in the Western Hemisphere, where both Washington and Moscow see the crisis as an opportunity to shift regional alliances in their favor. U.S. and Russian officials engaged in a flurry of diplomatic talks with Latin American and Caribbean leaders before the war started. The pace of diplomacy has only intensified since the fighting began. And many countries in the region have responded by walking a delicate line, declining to support Russia’s invasion abroad without forcefully condemning it at home.
