Russia slapped with sanctions over Ukraine annexation

Published

on

Vladimir Putin will sign a formal annexation of four more areas of Ukraine. It comes after self-styled referendums were held in Luhansk and Donetsk in the east, and in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson in the south

The move has been condemned by Ukraine and the West as a sham, with Russian-backed officials claiming that the exercise secured almost total popular support.

It’s the latest development in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine – as Putin uses a similar playbook to his annexation of Crimea in 2014.

Since then, tensions have remained high, with both sides regularly exchanging fire.

Putin has shown no signs of backing down. But neither is Ukraine.

Ukraine’s Presidentsays the “pseudo-referendums” are worthless and don’t change reality.

No independent monitoring of the Russian process took place.

The US says it will impose sanctions on Russia because of the staged referendums, while EU member states are considering an eighth round of measures, including sanctions on anyone involved in the votes.

Russia does not fully control any of the four regions it has decided to annex. Although most of Luhansk remains in Russian hands, Moscow only controls 60% of Donetsk.

The move is likely to deepen the divide between Russia and the West.

Seven months after Russian forces invaded Ukraine from the north, east and south, war is still raging on front lines in all four areas.

As employees recover from the height of the pandemic, the Great Resignation has come to light

 
The pandemic saw the term ‘the great resignation’ coined as thousands of people resigned from their jobs across the U.S. in 2021 and 2022.

Karin Reed, the author of ‘Suddenly Hybrid said the great resignation was a period of employees taking control of their future.

“A lot of people realised in their current environment they were not happy with what they were doing with their job. They chose to vote with their feet and go elsewhere,

In other parts of the world, a spike in resignations was not reported.

However, a higher degree of workers began reporting post-Covid burnout, as they made a return to the office.

“There’s been a blurring of the lines. You have work that’s not confined by a physical space.

“Instead of closing the computer and walk away, our computer is in the next room.”

Published

on

A big surprise for music fans when they heard a new song featuring Drake and The Weeknd. But there’s a catch!

The viral song was created by artificial intelligence.

 
A new song that sounds like Drake and The Weeknd has gone viral, but it was created by artificial intelligence.

Now, there’s a crusade against AI music.

The song,“Heart on My Sleeve”was created by artificial intelligence and quickly racked up millions of views on TikTok, Spotify, and YouTube.

Record label, Universal Music Group (UMG) is not happy about the song that used AI-generated vocals to simulate pop music artists Drake Graham and The Weeknd.

UMG flexed their muscle and forced the song featuring some of its biggest artists to be removed from Spotify and TikTok.

According to reports, UMG is taking it a step further and sent letters to Spotify, Apple Music, and other music streamers requesting they block AI tools from training their models on the melodies and lyrics of UMG artists.
