In 2014, Russia invaded and annexed Crimea

Canada needs to extend this analysis. In the meantime, pay attention to WF smoke warnings and advisories.
"Cumulative excess deaths from smoke PM2.5 could reach 1.9 million between 2026-2055. We find evidence for mortality impacts of smoke PM2.5 that last up to three years after exposure."
