Russia has now retreated from a wide section of Ukrainian territory that it had earlier seized, rattling Kremlin cheerleaders and amplifying calls for more weapons to be sent to Ukraine. The retreat is the biggest embarrassment for Russia’s larger and better equipped forces since their attempt to seize Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, was repelled at the start of the invasion. Amid heavy casualties, logistical problems and declining morale in Russia’s military, its performance has prompted discontent among staunch loyalists to Vladimir Putin, the president. Though victory for Ukraine is still far from certain, a widespread assumption, both inside and outside Russia, that Russia would inevitably triumph in the end seems to be collapsing. Ukraine’s counteroffensive has also undermined arguments in places like Germany that providing more arms to Ukraine would lead only to a long stalemate against a Russian military destined to win.

The queen often seemed to benefit from a belief that she could be separated from Britain’s at times callous rule. But historians of colonization say a reckoning is now overdue. In former colonies worldwide, demands for a full accounting of the pain, suffering and plundered riches that helped contribute to the royal family’s wealth have been increasing.

With 94 percent of votes in electoral districts counted, officials said they had yet to count early mail-in votes and overseas ballots. Though the Social Democrats were the party with the most votes, the far-right, anti-immigration Sweden Democrats were in second place for the first time, just ahead of the conservative Moderate Party. Some early exit polling anticipated a victory for the center-left bloc led by the Social Democrats. The election concludes an unusually antagonistic campaign season characterized by the growing popularity of the far-right Sweden Democrats, once a fringe party, and their effect on the neck-and-neck competition for voters between the right-wing and center-left blocs.

Others have designated some areas for quiet work and others as social spaces. And then there are the businesses that have embraced the office as a site of occasional chaos: hustle and bustle, rock climbing, even Ping-Pong.
