Russia launched deadly airstrikes across Ukraine just hours after ending its unilateral Easter ceasefire. Odesa was hit by a massive overnight drone attack, striking residential buildings, schools, and critical infrastructure. In Zaporizhzhia, Soviet-era glide bombs killed one woman and injured 22 civilians, including children. Ukraine reports over 2,900 ceasefire violations in just days. As Moscow escalates with 54 Shaheed drones in one night, tensions rise ahead of high-stakes talks between Kyiv, Washington, London, and Paris. Zelenskyy slams the ceasefire as a “sham” masking continued aggression.

Pope Francis will be remembered as one of the most transformative figures in modern Church history. From washing the feet of Muslim prisoners to declaring homosexuality "not a crime," he shattered centuries of convention. Francis stood with the marginalized, lived humbly, and redefined papal leadership. He demanded accountability for clergy abuse, apologized to Indigenous communities, and led global reforms. A voice of compassion in a rigid institution, Pope Francis broke walls—and built bridges. His legacy lives on in every act of inclusion, humility, and courage.
