Below is a catch-up of the significant events of this past week. You can check in with a minimal time commitment, read about the big stuff, and stay in the know before we’re on to the next. The amount of detailed news concerning the war in Ukraine is massive, and I will provide only the most critical news in this recap. If you are looking for more information, you might want to scroll through my Twitter feed for the week for more detail on any essential topics that I don’t mention here. I would also encourage you to listen to my latest weekly live podcast episode on Callin here, which started back up this week.
