Russia urges Kherson residents to evacuate as Ukrainian military advances

Russia has urged Kherson residents to evacuate the area, as Ukrainian military forces continue their advances

In what can only be described as a bizarre announcement, the Russian-installed leader of Ukraine’s Kherson region is calling for all civilians to evacuate immediately.

Vladimir Saldo says daily rocket attacks and advancing Ukrainian soldiers have made the area unsafe.

Asking for Moscow’s help during a recorded address, Saldo is urging residents to ‘save themselves’ before it is too late.

Shortly after, Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister also weighed in on the situation.

In a message on state television, he supported the calls to evacuate.

Ukraine’s armed forces have recently retaken several areas of north-west Kherson but rejects claims it targets its own civilians.

They are closing in on the region’s capital, Kherson city, aided by the use of U.S.-supplied rocket systems.

Russian missiles have struck energy and military targets in the Kyiv region and the western city of Lviv.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has also met with his Turkish counterpart – proposing a gas hub in Turkey as an alternative supply route to Europe.

This follows a number of recent problems with the Nord Stream pipelines.

It comes as Western support for Ukraine seemingly reaches an all-time high.

The strategic NATO alliance has confirmed it will provide the war-torn nation with dozens of jammers.

These are transmitters which disrupt signals in a bid to counteract Russian and Iranian drones.

Meanwhile, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg says Russia would be crossing a “very important line” if it used nuclear weapons in Ukraine

Published

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.”

AI creates a song imitating Drake and The Weeknd

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.
