At a time when the situation on the front line is stuck in the war of defense of Ukraine against the Russian invaders and the supply of weapons and ammunition has slowed down due to the Republicans in the US Congress, Ukraine is intensively trying to increase the production capacity of weapons and ammunition on its territory.
Associated Press writes that in 2024, the Ukrainian government has earmarked an amount corresponding to almost 1.4 billion US dollars in the state budget for the purchase and development of weapons produced in Ukraine, which is 20 times more than before the full-scale invasion of Russia. In addition, a large proportion of these weapons and ammunition are purchased from private manufacturers, which have increased their share to 80% in the defense industry, which until now was strongly dominated by state-owned enterprises.
Ukrainian entrepreneurs have been particularly active and successful in the production of drones. A clear confirmation of what the representative of the Ukrainian government said, that home-made drones are capable of flying more than a thousand kilometers, was this week’s attack on objects in Tatarstan – about 1,200 kilometers from Ukraine. On the other hand, with self-made naval drones,

Thibaut Courtois wants to start team training at the end of April
MADRID. Eder Militão has been out of the woods since last Sunday. The Brazilian central defender celebrated his long-awaited comeback in the 2-0 win against Athletic Club shortly before the final whistle at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in mid-August last year.
The same fate happened two days earlier Thibaut Courtois happen. The goalkeeper was recently on the verge of returning, but then suffered a serious setback. He tore the medial meniscus in his right knee during Real Madrid training and went under the knife the next day. After this procedure, Courtois expects to rejoin the team in the foreseeable future.
“I will train with the team again at the end of the month”said the 31-year-old on Friday in a live stream with Twitcher DjMaRiiO.
On The Trail Of Nirvana 30 Years After…
In the film Last Days, by Gus Van Sant (2005), which captures what could have been Kurt Cobain’s final moments, there is a very allegorical and strange sequence. When an electrician discovers Blake’s corpse (a transcript of the Nirvana leader in the film), a spectral, naked body emerges from it and ascends. The filmmaker thus shows how, on April 8, 1994 (he died on the 5th, but they found his body three days later), the man died and the myth was born.
Thirty years later, Nirvana remains arguably the last great classic rock group. But not only because of its symbolic achievements – the most visible, dethroning Michael Jackson from number 1 on the US charts and making the so-called alternative rock hegemonic at the beginning of the nineties – or even because its leader died so quickly, at 27. years, after committing suicide by shooting himself. “I’m sure the way Kurt passed away has some sort of attraction for some people, but it’s not a key component of the group’s legacy. Even when Nirvana existed, everyone knew they would be legendary. It was a great band that played great songs that evoked deep, powerful, complicated feelings that no one had articulated before.
Palestinians Should Seek Recognition In Talks, Not UN:…
The United States says the Palestinians should seek statehood through direct negotiations between the parties, not the United Nations. US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller made this comment on Wednesday (April 3). British news agency Reuters reported this news.
On Tuesday, the Palestinian Authority called on the United Nations to reconsider its bid for full membership. This application was made in 2011. Since 2012, Palestine has been recognized as a non-member observer state of the United Nations. In this regard, the position of the United States, Israel’s most important ally, is important. Because through them an idea about the position of Israel is obtained.
To become a full member of the United Nations, the approval of the 15-member Security Council is required. The US has veto power in the Security Council. Approval here requires a two-thirds vote of the 193-member General Assembly.
Asked whether the United States would veto the Palestinian request at the Security Council, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said he did not want to speculate on what might happen.
He said that the establishment of an independent Palestinian state should be done through direct negotiations between the parties concerned,
New York Was Hit By A Rare 4.8…
A 4.8-magnitude earthquake struck New York on Friday morning, the US Geological Survey said, shaking buildings and startling millions of people along the East Coast, including major nearby cities such as Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia. Residents were surprised as seismic activity is rarely recorded in the area.
The epicenter of the quake was in Tewksbury in central New Jersey, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) west of New York.
No major damage was reported, only cracks in road surfaces, but New York Gov. Cathy Hochul warned of the possibility of aftershocks at a news conference. Engineering teams inspect roads and bridges.
“This is one of the largest earthquakes on the East Coast in the last century,” she said.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams said there were no reports of injuries, but urged residents to take cover under furniture, a door or an interior wall if they felt aftershocks, Reuters reported.
Charita Walcott, a 38-year-old resident of the Bronx borough of New York, said the quake felt “like a loud rumble that lasted about 30 seconds.”
Residents in the region received an earthquake alert on their cellphones.

Spit In The Face Of The Nation. Okamura…
#Spit #face #nation #Okamura #fights #Vitus #treasure #display #Dresden
“Spit in the face of our nation. Recklessness and audacity. Czech state symbols should remain in the Czech Republic!” Indignant comments are being made in Dresden, Saxony, about the exhibition of the St. Vitus Treasure and part of the coronation jewels, such as the coronation cross. The treasure is being exhibited abroad for the very first time. The opposition SPD chairman Tomio Okamura and his colleague Jaroslav Foldyna joined the criticism. The deputies turned to the Prague Castle Administration for the loan.
“Taking away this symbol on March 15 is a slap in the face of our nation,” added deputy Jaroslav Foldyna (formerly ČSSD, now SPD) under a photo of former prime minister Andrej Babiš with a coronation cross from the 14th century. The cross is part of the St. Vitus treasure and also the rarest part of the crown jewels of the Czech kings. Foldyna alluded to, among other things, the fact that the exhibition was opened on the 85th anniversary of the occupation of Czechoslovakia by Nazi Germany,
They Threw Bottles To Prevent The Police From…
The Police have carried out an operation in the town of Usme, Bogotá, where four individuals were captured and an establishment closed.
These subjects must respond for the crime of damage to another’s property.
They were caught throwing bottles from inside a commercial establishment towards the uniformed officers.
Also causing damage to a vehicle that was on public roads.
The events occurred around 05:00 am, when the radio station received a report of a fight in a cigarette store.
Upon arriving at the scene, authorities found the establishment operating with the doors closed.
But with obvious signs of activity inside, including loud music and shouting.
The uniformed officers asked the people inside the establishment to open and evacuate the place, since they were violating the schedules established by the local Mayor’s Office.
However, people ignored it and decided to stay inside the establishment.
Given this situation, support was requested from the Official Fire Department of Bogotá to open the door of the establishment.
Once inside, four people were found consuming alcoholic beverages, including the owner of the establishment.
These people resisted police procedure and threw blunt objects at the authorities.
Laval Investigators Search For Potentially Dangerous TikTok User
#Laval #investigators #search #potentially #dangerous #TikTok #user
A hateful comment in which a user says “pray” to relive a second Polytechnique killing published under a lawyer’s TikTok video forced the Laval police to open an investigation in order to find the Internet user in question.
For almost three years, Me Chanel Alepin has produced mainly educational content on the TikTok page of the Alepin Gauthier Avocats firm, where she is a partner. The one who presents herself as “your big lawyer sister” addresses subjects such as domestic violence, consent or cyberpedophilia.
Thursday morning, Me Alepin published a short video in which she asked the following question: “Women are considered too emotional at work, but who shouts when we disagree with their point?”
To which an anonymous user named “Poueblo” responded that women were all, without exception, “a lot of trouble.”
The lawyer then sent him a heart, writing “this will be okay”.
Poueblo went further by publishing a very violent comment, in reference to the mass feminicide that occurred at the École Polytechnique in 1989.
