Putin Prepared for Prolonged War in Ukraine, Views Defeat as Unthinkable – FT

Російський президент Володимир Путін, схоже, ігнорує жорстку риторику з боку колишнього президента США Дональда Трампа, і, незважаючи ні на що, не збирається згортати воєнні дії в Україні до досягнення поставлених ним цілей.

Путін, у свою чергу, прагне реалізувати свої плани — чого б це не коштувало. Українці ж показують сильну волю до спротиву та не

Industrial awakening: exploring England’s Great Northern Coalfield

The Great Northern Coalfield once fueled the rise of Britain’s Industrial Revolution, providing coal from the mines in Durham and Northumberland. For over 200 years, this resource was transported via an intricate network of wagonways and railroads to coastal ports, and from there, shipped south to London. Although the mines have long since closed, about eight miles northeast of Durham, remnants of the region’s industrial past lie hidden among ancient forests and a dramatic gorge landscape.

Some felt it was giving in to unrealistic beauty norms and catering to outdated ideals, simply to appear neat and hairless for an audience that couldn’t handle the natural scene. On the flip side, others just liked the tidiness or associated it with femininity. Despite the debate, most ended up shaving anyway. But trends moved on, and now it’s mostly
