Russian attack helicopters were spotted yesterday buzzing within miles of the country’s borders. During a phone call with President Biden, Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine’s president, asked the American president to come to Kyiv to “contribute to de-escalation” and to send “a powerful signal.” Biden is likely to decline. Ukraine’s allies, including the U.S., reduced staffing at their embassies or evacuated them over the weekend. Ukraine is now nearly surrounded by Russian and Russian-backed forces on a high level of readiness, with the start of Russian naval exercises on the Black Sea yesterday completing the noose in the south. Russian officials have said they do not intend to invade Ukraine.

The reopening of the bridge, which links Windsor, Ontario to Detroit, raised hopes for industries, especially auto manufacturing, which have been slowed by the unrest. In the Canadian capital of Ottawa, protests raged on: Hundreds of truckers were entering their third week of occupation of the area around Parliament Hill. There were reports late yesterday that an agreement had been broached for the drivers to pull out of some residential neighborhoods over the coming days. Protesters and their supporters spent the weekend jamming the streets of Ottawa with dance parties, bonfires and even an inflatable hot tub. People swarmed local stores without masks, violating local coronavirus regulations, and lavished the truckers encamped in their vehicles with cash and gifts that they tossed through their windows.
