'NO MONEY TO PROTECT OUR PEOPLE': Ukrainian Military's Stunning Admission As Russia Pounds Ukraine

Ukraine faces a harsh winter warning as Army Major Yuriy Fedorenko urges civilians to prepare for power outages and buy generators or install backup batteries. The warning comes as Ukraines energy sector reportedly faces a 650-million-euro shortfall before the heating season. President Volodymyr Zelensky has also warned that Russian strikes could leave Ukraine with virtually no functioning thermal power plants. The developments expose the growing pressure on Kyiv to maintain electricity and heating while continuing the war. With Russian attacks repeatedly hitting energy infrastructure, Ukraine faces a critical winter test that could affect millions of civilians and further strain the governments finances and resources.#Ukraine #Zelensky #RussiaUkraineWar #UkraineWar #WinterCrisis #PowerOutages #UkrainianArmy #EnergyCrisis #Russia #Kyiv #UkraineNews #War

Vinegar to clean your car windscreen: How to use it correctly, why people do it and does it work?

Vinegar on car windscreen: Vinegar possesses acidic properties that can tackle some windshield grime and water marks. However, relying solely on it to fend off frost or ice is not advisable. Spraying vinegar directly on your vehicle can harm the paint and rubber seals. For ongoing fogging issues, consider car demisters and air conditioning systems as viable solutions. Automotive glass cleaners and de-icers are still the most trustworthy options for maintaining clear windscreens.

Why psychologists say getting older can feel lonely even when you have people around you and the hidden difference between being surrounded and being truly known

Loneliness can hide behind a full social life. Psychology reveals a painful truth about aging. The hardest part isn't physical isolation. It is something much quieter. It is realizing that being surrounded and being known were never the same thing. Work gives us daily crowd noise. It offers easy proximity, not genuine intimacy. When the room empties, you finally see the truth. You never needed more people. You needed to be understood. New U.S. research shows why having family, friends, and regular contact does not always prevent loneliness as people age. The real issue is emotional connection.

Pankaj Tripathi on Indian Cinemas global reach: People have come after understanding literature and culture and after seeing the world

Pankaj Tripathi believes the growing international appeal of Indian cinema is closely linked to filmmakers and writers returning to local stories, cultures and experiences. In a recent conversation with Hindustan Times, the actor reflected on how Indian films have increasingly found audiences beyond the country, with both mainstream and independent productions making their presence felt at international film festivals, award shows and overseas box offices. According to Pankaj, Indian cinemas biggest strength lies in its ability to present emotions and cultural experiences authentically. The core value of Indian emotion is empathy, said the two-time National Award winner. He pointed out that Indias diverse traditions and numerous festivals across different regions offer filmmakers a rich source of stories. So, when one incorporates that in stories, our culture, our emotions in an authentic manner, then that becomes global. That is the strength of Indian stories, he added. Pankaj also recalled a period when Indian films became heavily focused on urban and multiplex audiences. He feels that this shift distanced cinema from the wider Indian experience. There was a time when our stories became a little too urban. Jab waise writer the jo Mumbai mein baith ke Bharat ko samajhte the (we had writers who understood India sitting in Mumbai), he said. The actor believes the scenario has changed with filmmakers arriving in Mumbai from smaller cities and towns, bringing their own cultural backgrounds and perspectives to storytelling. Now, time has changed. Bhilai se Anurag Basu aa gaye, Jamshedpur se Imtiaz Ali aa gaye aur Allahabad se Tigmanshu Dhulia aa gaye. These people have come after understanding literature and culture and after seeing the world, he added. Meanwhile, Pankaj is set to appear in Ohh My Dog, an experimental film featuring a dog as its protagonist. Discussing its message, he said, There are people who dont like dogs or animals. The issue is that they fear them. But once you get to understand the animal, the fear will leave your body. Directed by Amit Rai, Ohh My Dog releases in theatres on August 7. Pankaj will next reprise his role as Akhandanand Tripathi in Mirzapur: The Film, which is scheduled to release in September.
