Let’s bring you the latest on the Russia-Ukraine crisis. Moving over, Moldova has applied for EU membership, while WNBA player, Brittney Griner, was arrested 3 weeks ago in Russia for having vape cartridges in her luggage. Up next, Florida passed a bill banning abortions after 15 weeks, and Brett Hankison (who was charged for killing Breonna Taylor) was acquitted on 3 counts of wanton endangerment last week. Finally, we share February’s job numbers (and tbh — they’re not looking too great).
