The Russia–Ukraine war is the largest land war in Europe since World War II — driving NATO expansion (Finland, Sweden), an ICC arrest warrant against President Putin, and global energy and food shocks. The Sudan Civil War between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has produced the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, with about 25 million people facing extreme hunger.
