  • Poland is urging Western nations to band together and send tanks.
  • Germany says it won’t be the first nation to send in tanks.  Poland has to get Germany’s approval to send in German-made tanks.
  • Aleksei Navalny’s wife is asking the Russian government to provide jailed Navalny with appropriate medication.
  • Navalny is in a “punishment cell” 2 by 3 meters.  He is kept from lying down all day even though he has a temperature.
