Has anyone else had the experience of forgetting an item in a @lyft ride, the driver ignoring phone calls and texts to get the item returned, and then the run-around from @lyft for days? Just wondering @AskLyft

.@ACEurasia’s @PowerVertical: In Russia, as I said in the report, “reality is buried between subterfuge and deception and dramaturgy, and in this environment, it’s easy to mistake illusion for reality.” Watch more: ➡️ bit.ly/4s4os3k

“We mistakenly believed that globalization would be a force for liberalization, failing to see that it also makes it easier for revanchist and authoritarian states like Russia to spread illiberal ideas,” says @ACEurasia’s @PowerVertical.

At the launch of @PowerVertical’s new report, @AmbDanFried says, “Those of us who thought that Russia had been liberated from communism in 1991 missed the point.” Russia “lost the empire, and we misunderstood and underestimated the trauma of the loss of empire,” he adds.

Now has JD Vance said ‘thank you’ once?

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський@ZelenskyyUa

We received a request from the United States for specific support in protection against "shaheds" in the Middle East region. I gave instructions to provide the necessary means and ensure the presence of Ukrainian specialists who can guarantee the required security. Ukraine helps partners who help ensure our security and protect the lives of our people. Glory to Ukraine!

Meanwhile, as JD Vance is learning how to say “thank you” in Ukrainian, Fox News has run a report on AI-supported “American superweapons” by showing Ukrainian interceptor drones taking down Iranian “shaheds”.
Wild Hornets@wilendhornets

Hi @FoxNews — small clarification. We appreciate that international media such as FOX News highlight the effective work of interceptor drones. The footage shown in this segment features STING — a Ukrainian interceptor drone developed by engineers at Wild Hornets and used by Ukrainian air defense units to destroy Shahed-type drones. This result is the outcome of a long and difficult path taken by Wild Hornets engineers together with Ukrainian soldiers, and we would be grateful if these achievements remained properly credited. We also deeply appreciate all the support we receive and are very grateful for the trust people place in our work. You can see more interception footage and feedback from Ukrainian soldiers on our page. More about STING: wildhornets.com/en/sting-a-hig…
