Ukrainian civilians, many with no military training, are taking up arms to defend their country. The Washington Post explains how President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s willingness to defy Vladimir Putin and document it on social media has turned him into a national hero. The Guardian and the Wall Street Journal report that newly announced sanctions on Russian financial institutions are poised to interrupt the country’s economy and undercut its ability to do business globally. Hundreds of thousands of people are fleeing Ukraine. Business Insider and The Globe and Mail look at how the warm welcome Ukrainians are receiving from neighboring countries compares to the treatment of migrants and refugees from the Middle East and Africa.
