This day aims to highlight the challenges women and girls face due to inadequate menstrual hygiene, which impacts their health, happiness, and empowerment.

Russia's decision to delete the draft plan comes amidst increasing international scrutiny and diplomatic pressure. NATO officials welcomed the withdrawal but remain vigilant, emphasizing the need for transparent and peaceful negotiations re...
