Russia Invades Ukraine.

“European Union ambassadors in Brussels moved closer to consensus on a significant package of sanctions targeting broad sectors of the Russian economy and individuals on Thursday, but were debating whether to keep President Vladimir V. Putin off their list for now, diplomats who participated in or were briefed on the talks said.
The ambassadors met on Thursday morning, just hours after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and were due to meet again in the afternoon to prepare for negotiations that E.U. leaders will hold in Brussels on Thursday evening about an overall response to the invasion.”
The World is on alert as Russia decided to invade Ukraine and upend the global pecking order. The alliances and foreign relations will be put to the test in the next few months as this crisis unfolds in what could turn out to be the biggest foreign policy conundrum since the end of the last World War. China is now a big player on the international stage and whomever they endorse in this fight will inevitably have a strong wind at their backs to move forward with their agenda.
