Ukraine and the UK have signed a deal to produce the Ukrainian interceptor drone "Octopus" on British soil. Defense Minister Shmyhal said the agreement will enable large-scale manufacturing, potentially thousands per month, with all units destined for Ukraine’s air defense.

Four simple truths must form the basis of a genuine peace plan in Ukraine.
1. As long as Putin is in power, the war will continue.
2. Trump is an accomplice to Russian crimes
3. Ukrainians would rather die than surrender
4. If Ukraine falls, war will come to Europe.

This so-called peace plan is becoming so harmful that outright rejection by Ukraine and Europe seems to be the most viable outcome.

Looking for good news, I found this:
If you were struck by a microscopic black hole, the mass of a small asteroid, it'd be no worse than a gunshot. And such black holes are definitely too rare to have "any observable effects on the human population." 🔭🧪
