Indiana will host a Ukrainian Olympic team this summer so it can train amid the ongoing Russian assault on its homeland.

Roughly eight weeks into the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Purdue says it has brought 11 faculty to campus - with an additional 15 scholars under review.

More than a quarter of Ukraine's population has fled since Russia invaded the country at the end of February.

According to AAA, South Bend gas prices are currently averaging around $4.14 a gallon, up from $3.54 a month ago and $2.61 a year ago.

The university announced Friday that its Ukraine Scholars Initiative would accept Ukrainian scholars “directly impacted by the war" which began Feb. 24 with Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Indianapolis-based pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly last week said it was shifting its business focus in Russia, but all 167 employees there remain employed.

Information about the conflict and the millions of people displaced by the fighting is being displayed on social media and other platforms in new ways. That makes news direct from the front lines easily accessible.

In a Friday news release, the heavy engine manufacturer said it would "suspend all commercial operations in Russia indefinitely" and was taking steps to quickly halt its remaining business there.

In a news release, Cummins said it was "suspend[ing] most of our operations" but would continue "select and limited business that supports the health and safety of citizens on the ground."

Gov. Eric Holcomb isn't ruling out taking steps to sever ties with Russia and Russian-controlled businesses.
