Ukraine recaptures seven villages in southeast

Published

on

Following the start of its long-anticipated counteroffensive last week, Ukraine says it has recaptured seven villages from Russian forces along a 100 kilometre front in the southeast.

Given Russia’s numerical superiority in men, ammunition, and air power, as well as the long period they have had to construct deep defensive fortifications, especially in southern Ukraine, ending Russia’s occupation is challenging.

Ukrainian forces are making progress on the battlefield despite rain and fierce fighting, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in a video address.

“The battles are fierce, but we have movement and that is crucial,” Zelenskiy said. “The enemy’s losses are exactly what we need.”

The Ukrainian flag was seen in a video held by soldiers in the village of Storozheve, near the Mokri Yaly River which flows northward from Russian-held territory. Reuters confirmed the location.

The Ukrainian military announced on Sunday that it had liberated three more nearby villages along the Mokri Yaly: Blahodatne, Neskuchne, and Makarivka.

Hanna Maliar, deputy defence minister, said late on Monday that Ukrainian forces had also recaptured Levadne and Novodarivka, approximately 10 km (6 miles) west of the Mokri Yaly, as well as Lobkove, southeast of Zaporizhzhia.

According to Maliar, Russian troops have advanced 6.5 kilometers and taken control of 90 square kilometers (35 square miles), just a fraction of the 40,000 square miles under their control.

A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister crashed on Sunday as it was crossing mountain terrain in heavy fog.

The official said the lives of Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian were “at risk following the helicopter crash”, which happened on the way back from a visit to the border with Azerbaijan in Iran’s northwest.

“We are still hopeful but information coming from the crash site is very concerning,” the official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

State TV quoted an official as saying at least one passenger and one crew member had been in contact with rescuers. It also said the helicopter had been found, though Iran’s Red Crescent denied this report.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who holds ultimate power with a final say on foreign policy and Iran’s nuclear programme, sought to reassure Iranians, saying there would be no disruption to state affairs. #iran #trending

Why Australia is becoming the new home of the Hollywood blockbuster

Published

on

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
