Kim Yo-jong, the younger sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and deputy department director of the Workers�

During World War II, the Allies started planning for the postwar era before victory was anywhere in sight. One year into Ukraine’s struggle against Russia, it's time for Kyiv and the West to do likewise.
