It was a tangible sign of Ukraine’s soaring morale and its growing confidence — a demonstration that the military could ensure its leader’s safety even miles from the front. In Russian cities close to the fighting, the mood is one of anxiety. In Belgorod, 25 miles from the Ukrainian border, the [sounds of nearby explosions have become regular occurrences](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlBUVtP4QBAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjIvMDkvMTQvd29ybGQvZXVyb3BlL3J1c3NpYS11a3JhaW5lLWJvcmRlci1iZWxnb3JvZC5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmVtYz1lZGl0X21iZV8yMDIyMDkxNSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD03MTk4OCZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWV1cm9wZS1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMDYzOTUmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmMibcAiYw4mKeVSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). Military trucks and armored personnel carriers spray-painted with the letter Z rumble through intersections, and refugees pour in from territories in Ukraine. Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, has tried to keep life as normal as possible for most Russians and make the hostilities in Ukraine a faraway concept. But with Ukrainian forces now on the offensive, some residents of Belgorod feel as if the war has come to their doorstep. Putin: The Russian president faces mounting internal criticism over his faltering invasion. The Kremlin has rebuffed calls for [a full military mobilization](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlBUVtP4QBAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjIvMDkvMTMvd29ybGQvZXVyb3BlL3J1c3NpYS11a3JhaW5lLXdhci1kcmFmdC1wdXRpbi5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmVtYz1lZGl0X21iZV8yMDIyMDkxNSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD03MTk4OCZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWV1cm9wZS1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMDYzOTUmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmMibcAiYw4mKeVSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~).

The authorities said that the right-wing bloc had won 176 of the 349 seats in Parliament, while the left-wing bloc secured 173 seats. The most stunning development was support for the Sweden Democrats, once considered an extremist party, which emerged as the second most popular party in the country. While the party’s support will be essential for the right-wing bloc to maintain its majority in Parliament, it is unlikely to be a formal part of the new government. The new government is expected to be led by Ulf Kristersson, head of the center-right Moderate Party, as prime minister. Analysts said that the vote on Sunday had been one of the closest in modern times and reflected a desire by Swedes to move in a new direction after decades of center-left policymaking.

In Sindh Province in the south, the floodwater has effectively transformed farmland into two large lakes. Pakistani officials have warned that it may take three to six months for the floodwaters to recede. So far, around 1,500 people have died — nearly half of them children — and more than 33 million have been displaced from their homes by the floods, which were caused by heavier-than-usual monsoon rains and glacial melt. Scientists say that global warming is sharply increasing the likelihood of extreme rain in South Asia. Tens of thousands of people are now sheltering in schools and public buildings or along roadsides and canal embankments in tents of tarp and rope. Many of those whose villages were not completely submerged have remained in their homes, effectively marooned. Conditions: The Pakistani authorities have urged people to leave the isolated villages, warning that their remaining could overwhelm already strained aid efforts, cause widespread food insecurity and spark a health crisis as diseases spread. Already, malaria, dengue fever and waterborne diseases are rampant, and the government has shut off power to the area.
