This 1991 painting "NKAO" represents the history of Nagorno-Karabakh. Established in 1923 as a majority Armenian autonomous region within the Azerbaijan SSR, it declared independence in 1991 but remained unrecognized. Azerbaijan recently took over the region; over 90,000 Armenian refugees have fled.

Ukraine’s military claimed on Monday that it had killed the commander of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet in a strike on Crimea — a blow that, if confirmed, would be among the most damaging suffered by the Russian Navy since the sinking of the fleet’s flagship last year.
