      Back in April, Russian forces knocked on the door of a 64-year-old retired Soviet soldier in eastern Ukraine. The man, who had been in hiding in his basement since the war began in February, was terrified. One of the soldiers looked at his identification, which read ‘Volodymyr Zelensky’, although he bore no resemblance to Ukraine’s president. “It’s okay guys, the war is over,” the soldier said, reported Agence France-Presse. “We can go home — we got their president!” Volodymyr Zelensky, a namesake of the Ukrainian president with no known relationship to him, spent most of the war days hiding from bombardment in the basement of his house. Born in 1958 in the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, then part of the Soviet Union,…

      Climate pledges still ‘nowhere near’ enough for 1.5C: UN

      International climate pledges remain far off track to limit rising temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius, according to a report released by the United Nations Wednesday, less than two weeks ahead of high-stakes negotiations to tackle global warming.
