With Russia’s war on Ukraine now in its 18th month, the Ukrainian National Guard’s Azov unit in Odessa trains civilians who want to learn survival skills, including how to shoot, provide first aid and recognize land mines. These and other skills could be used in the hostile environment provoked by missile strikes and other attacks during the Russian invasion. Thousands of volunteers have expressed their desire to fight for their homeland. But it’s not just men, it’s also Ukrainian women who continue to bravely fight for freedom. Welcome to ‘CALL TO ARMS’.

July 12, 2019 – Yerevan, Armenia – Lake Sevan is one of the largest mountainous lakes in Europe and Asia and is facing environmental problems. It sits in the middle of the Armenian Highland at an altitude of 1914 meters. An algae bloom is threatening to spread and is believed to have been caused by chemical and untreated waste, a draw down of water for agricultural and other uses, and an illegal catch of lake fish. Additionally plastic waste is in and around the lake along with litter from various sources. The government is trying to act quickly to remedy these problems. The lakes water surface is 1,500 square kilometers and Sevan is the main resource of drinking water in the region. (Credit Image: © Kenneth Martin/ZUMA Wire)
