#France

If you can’t travel to Ukraine but have always been curious about its culture, France just launched its “Ukrainian Season.” For the next four months, Paris and other cities will bring Ukraine’s cultural heritage to life—a vibrant, living testament to the cultural power of Ukraine. Led by the French Institute, this four-month event challenges outdated Soviet-era narratives and reclaims Ukraine’s often misunderstood identity.

The UK is urgently moving to fill what officials describe as a dangerous gap in its ability to strike distant targets from the ground, launching a new wave of long-range missile programs with NATO partners to counter Russia’s expanding capability to hit Europe from thousands of miles away.
