After Russian
airstrikes hit a large military base near the western city of Lviv, close to
the Polish border, killing 35 people and leaving more than 130 in hospital, president
Volodymyr Zelensky warned NATO in a recent video address that it is only a
matter of time before Russia attacks NATO members.

Late on Sunday,
the WHO issued a press release, stating that the war in Ukraine could
deteriorate the pandemic context across the globe. Ukraine’s vaccination rate
is low, and while the infection rate isn’t particularly high, there is a
considerable risk Ukraine could see more infections and deaths over the coming
period. According to its report, some 791 thousand infections and 8 thousand
related fatalities were reported in Ukraine and in surrounding countries over
March 3-9.

A new round of
Ukraine-Russia negotiations is expected to take place on Monday
