The Ukrainian counteroffensive around Pokrovsk has produced some of the war’s most intense armored battles, and one mission in particular has already entered frontline legend.

Across parts of the United States, wildlife biologists and land managers are sounding the alarm about aggressive hybrid pigs that are spreading, damaging crops and habitat, and raising fears of disease.
