Germany has promised to deliver more weapons to Ukraine, during his first wartime visit

Germany’s leader, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, has vowed to send more weapons to Ukraine amid Russia’s invasion.

The German leader spent the day with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, discussing the war-torn nation’s needs, economically and militarily.

Steinmeier openly condemned Russia’s actions and vowed to support Ukraine militarily.

“Today, Germany is one of the leading suppliers to Ukraine’s air defense.

Thirty Gepard tanks, three Mars2 multiple rocket launchers, several thousand anti-aircraft guns, one of the most modern air defense systems in the world, Iris-T.

I hope it will help to make people a little safer, to protect them from Russia’s brutal aggression.”

Previously, Steinmeier had been criticised for his close political relations with Russia. However, relations between Ukraine and Germany have now turned a new page.

Germany’s alliance with the war-torn nation is clear.

Dirty bomb claims

It comes as Russia continues to make claims about Ukraine planning to use a so-called ‘dirty bomb’.

They made the allegations to the UN Security Council but the west sees the claims as “pure misinformation.”

Russia has since notified the U.S. about its upcoming annual strategic nuclear exercise.

Pentagon officials have confirmed it is strictly a drill and they will be monitoring every move.

“Russia is complying with its arms control obligations and its transparency commitments to make these notifications.”

Don’t come back

Ukraine is pleading with its citizens who fled amid the war, not to come home.

The increasing attacks on critical power infrastructure has placed the country under significant strain.

The country has implemented scheduled blackouts to prevent the grid from overloading and to reserve energy.

The warning comes as the winter months approach.

“We need to survive this winter. [If people come back] the electrical grid might fail.

In spring, I would really like for us to work together to rebuild our Kharkiv region, Kherson region and the rest of our cities and settlements here in Ukraine.”

TikTok users could soon find that the popular social media service is either under new ownership or could be outright banned in the United States.

Over the past several months, Washington D.C. has been under pressure to ban the popular Chinese-owned social media app.

Lawmakers and security experts have long raised concerns that the Chinese government could tap TikTok’s trove of personal data about millions of U.S. users.

TikTok’s CEO said the bill is disappointing and reiterated that the company has committed to challenge it.

Threads, the social media platform owned by Meta, is gaining traction with a surge in daily active users, outpacing X in the U.S.

 

With Threads averaging 28 million daily active users compared to X’s 22 million, Meta’s ambitions to reach a billion users seem within reach despite a slowdown in growth. While X still boasts 550 million monthly active users globally, Threads’ focus on user experience and avoidance of real-time and political content could position it as a formidable competitor moving forward.
