Ukraine Death Toll Doubled Last Week; Only 11 Countries at Peace; Briefing President, Keeping Public in Dark

UN: Ukraine Death Toll Doubled in Past Week

World peace? These are the only 11 countries in the world that are actually free from conflict. The IEP’s findings mean that choices are slim if you want to live in a completely peaceful country. The only ones to achieve the lowest score for all forms of conflict were Switzerland, Japan, Qatar, Mauritius, Uruguay, Chile, Botswana, Costa Rica, Vietnam, Panama and Brazil.
