Husband says wife must not roam from home

Dear Amy: I’ve been married to my husband for 29 years. He’s a good dad to our grown children and a good husband to me.

Russia has yet to slow a Western arms express into Ukraine

Western weaponry pouring into Ukraine helped blunt Russia’s initial offensive and seems certain to play a central role in the approaching, potentially decisive, battle for Ukraine’s contested Donbas region. Yet the Russian military is making little headway halting what has become a historic arms express.
