In Biliy Kolodyaz, #Kharkiv, the frontline is just 15km away. 500 people live in range of artillery and drones.

[Ipsos in the UK @Ipsos_in_the_UK]

Voting intention by financial wellbeing segments.

Labour lead with comfortably off and Reform UK with all other groups - including the financially vulnerable.

[UN News @UN_News_Centre]

Ukrainian women are exhausted but still “motivated” to keep going, says the executive director of an NGO supporting women and families.

As war fractures households, more women are seeking help with divorce and domestic violence.

[UN Women @UN_Women]

No country has achieved full legal equality for women.

As backlash against gender equality intensifies, defending the of rule law has never mattered more.

#ForAllWomenAndGirls, we must achieve equality.

H: gender inequality and health

[Simon Kuestenmacher @simongerman600]

Some reasons to end up in hospital are clearly gender related. Here are the most male and female reasons to be admitted to hospital. Clearly pregnancy related issues dominate among women but lawnmowers are a male hazard... Source: https://t.co/IoGt7fO74c

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I am grateful to each of the 107 countries that stood with Ukraine today in defense of life at the @UN.

The General Assembly adopted our resolution in support of a lasting peace, with clear calls for a full ceasefire and the return of our people.

These are the right and necessary steps. And we will keep working actively to achieve peace, together with our partners.

"Inflation, which Mr. Trump promised to end “on day one,” picked up in 2025. The trade deficit in goods, which Mr. Trump promised to shrink, hit a record high. The manufacturing sector, which Mr. Trump promised to restore, shed jobs."
Apart from that, it's going great.
