EU funded scheme delivers one million ammunition to Ukraine, looks at industry direct investment
The Europeans will have sent Ukraine more than one million rounds of ammunition before 2025, the EU's outgoing top diplomat Josep Borrell said on the 1000-day anniversary of Russia's invasion (19 November).
On Nov. 21, Ukraine commemorates the Day of Dignity and Freedom, marking 11 years since a group of activists and journalists gathered on Kyiv’s Independence Square (Maidan Nezalezhnosti) to protest the government.
15 years after the last game of the franchise was released, #STALKER2 #HeartOfChornobyl is finally available to buy.
While some of the Ukranian developers were drafted to defend their country after #Russia's invasion, others were able to leave #Ukraine to continue their work. The resilience and struggle of the whole team makes the release even more special.
I can't wait to be back in the #zone.

Die Nationalratskommission hat wichtige Entscheide zum Ständeratsbeschluss zur #eID gefällt und legt damit den Grundstein für echte OpenSource-Wallets.
Europe followed the US into Afghanistan. Then US voters elected Trump and he pulled the plug.

For our generation, this is our Churchill moment — it is time to lead.
