Ukraine, despite the attack, remains in control of the Azot chemical plant. It is believed hundreds of civilians are sheltering at the facility. Russia-backed separatist claimed 300 to 400 Ukrainian fighters were also trapped there.

Maryland’s Governor Larry Hogan, focusing on treatments that would keep people out of hospitals, outlined a long-term preparedness plan on how Maryland will deal with COVID-19. Hogan, on Thursday, 9 June 2022, revealed how the state would respond to future variants.

Wednesday, 8 June 2022

The United Kingdom, despite finding “gross failures of governance” in the overseas territory, decided against direct rule of the British Virgin Islands. The decision, coming on Wednesday, 8 June 2022, wasn’t easily arrived at.

The British government, according to Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, will give the territory’s new administration two years to reform. If nothing is accomplished during that time, from what is known, direct rule will be imposed.

Tuesday, 7 June 2022

Russia’s State Duma, the lower house of the Federal Assembly of Russia, voted on Tuesday, 7 June 2022 to end jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights in the country.

The bill, something anyone with a modicum of intelligence could have seen coming, was passed nearly unanimously. Only one of the lawmakers, a member of the Communist Party, opposed the bill.
