In a passionate plea to European leaders, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is calling for greater unity across the board

As Russian aggression continues, EU lawmakers have failed to agree on an oil import ban during a summit in Brussels.

Labelling the Union ‘too soft’, Zelensky says now is not the time to be seperate fragments.

The Ukrainian President wants a new set of sanctions against Russia, including a ban on Russian oil.

Recent internal quarrels within the EU’s top body has lead to a halt on any new action against Putin and his war machine.

EU leaders are meeting for an extraordinary summit, all in an attempt to enact a sixth set of sanctions against Russia, which would ideally involve a ban on Russian oil.

But Hungary is refusing to back the plan, with the country saying it is too reliant on Russian oil supplies.

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.
