NATO defense chiefs are set to hold a virtual meeting on Wednesday as Western countries push for an end to the war. Russia's foreign minister said on Wednesday that Russia has to be involved in the process. According to the Kremlin, excluding Moscow from security talks won't yield results.

The Texas Legislature is expected to pass a new congressional map on Wednesday that would shift five seats to Republicans. On Tuesday, Democratic state Rep.
