Just as the crisis precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic started to slow down, another one surfaced in the news of Russian President Vladimir Putin's violent invasion of Ukraine.
Since the attack started on February 24, 2022, the world has been gripped with the specter of war, especially after Putin nodded to his country's nuclear capabilities.
