In many ways, Russia has invaded our show.

So let's do this.

It has been four days

since Russian troops rolled into neighboring Ukraine, touching off the largest European conflict since World War II, or when Harry and Meghan left the Royals.

Let's catch up on all the latest developments in our newest segment, The War in Ukraine.

As the pandemic started winding down, people all across the world have been thinking about what they're gonna do as the world opens up, you know?

Spend more time with family.

Find a better work-life balance.

Stitch all your old masks together into a giant mask, and then use that as a comfort blanket.

But Vladimir Putin clearly had very different post-pandemic plans, invading a sovereign country.

And you know, for years, people have said that Russia might invade Ukraine, because it's always been Putin's wet dream to reunite the Soviet Union.

You know, sort of the same way Disney wants to tie all of its franchises together.

And now Mickey is fighting Thanos?

I mean, it's weird, but profitable.

So yeah, Putin has done the unthinkable.

Much of the world is trying to tighten its grip around Russia to get Vladimir Putin to back off Ukraine.

For the first time ever, the EU will finance the purchase and delivery of weapons to Ukraine.

Similarly, the United States, for the first time, has approved the direct delivery of Stinger missiles to Ukraine as part of a package approved by the White House.
