Lionel Messi has appeared in an ad for ChatGPT, becoming the first global superstar to promote the service.

OpenAI released a video titled “MessiMode,” in which the footballer asks to dye his hair in the colors of the Argentine flag. The company had previously rarely used celebrities in its advertising.

A few months ago, Messi admitted that he does not use artificial intelligence because he has not yet had time to understand it. Apparently, that has changed.

In the Netherlands, the world’s first “animal-free farm” has appeared — instead of cows, it uses bioreactors that grow meat from cells.

Developers say the taste of the steaks is almost indistinguishable from regular meat, and the product’s composition can be “customized” according to needs.

A Ukrainian refugee family from Luhansk has lost their home in Belfast following anti-immigration riots

According to Yaroslava Navrotska, she heard shouting outside in the evening and managed to escape through the back exit together with her dog.

Protesters set fire to a house opposite, and the flames then spread to the Ukrainian family’s home. The property was severely damaged and had to be abandoned.

They left Ukraine in search of safety. Unfortunately, it seems that in today’s world, safety has become something of a luxury 💔

In China, snake robots have begun to be used to inspect power lines

They were deployed by a local energy company to prevent outages during university entrance exams — even brief blackouts can disrupt the tests.

The robots are flexible like real snakes and can reach places that drones or humans usually cannot access, such as insulators on transmission lines. Their task is to detect faults faster and reduce maintenance costs for the grid.

⚡️ “We must be ready.” German general on a possible Russian attack on NATO as early as 2029

The head of Germany’s land forces, Christian Freuding, said that NATO is considering scenarios of a possible conflict with Russia.

It could take place as early as 2029.

At the same time, the general stressed that Russia could make such a move even earlier — despite the fact that the war in Ukraine has already been going on for five years, and the Russian army, according to Kyiv, has suffered more than 1.3 million killed and wounded.

Russia is actively building new barracks and warehouses along its western border, including near Finland and Norway.

In the Pechenga district of the Murmansk region, major military facilities are being constructed. The number of Russian forces near the border could increase by 4–5 times.

Construction is underway from the Arctic to Kaliningrad. New depots, barracks, and equipment are appearing.

Russia is building its first new military base in decades near the Finnish border

According to Yle, the base in the Novaya Vilga area near Petrozavodsk will be designed for 4,000–6,000 troops.

Together with additional units in Karelia, the total force could reach 15,000 personnel.

Construction began this spring and is already in full swing — around a dozen large barracks are being built on site.

t should be noted that after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Finland joined NATO.

Mercedes is preparing a combat “G-Class” designed to counter drones

The company plans to cooperate with the German startup Tytan Technologies and use their interceptor drones with a range of up to 40 km. These systems are already being used by the Ukrainian and German armed forces.

Mercedes will provide the platform — the SUV itself — on which drone launch and control systems will be installed.

In the future, such vehicles could operate in groups, controlled by a mobile command center based on the Mercedes Sprinter.

Ukraine is marking the Day of Unmanned Systems Forces for the first time

President Volodymyr Zelensky said that drones have become one of the key tools of the war.

Unmanned systems destroy equipment on the front line, strike warehouses and command posts, and hit targets deep inside Russian territory.

‼️According to Zelensky, drone systems have caused nearly $40 billion in damage to Russian assets over the past year.

Commander of Ukraine’s UAV forces Robert Brovdi (“Magyar”) said there are plans to isolate Crimea by cutting Russian supply lines.

Where did the “savior of the Russian economy” disappear? Has Nabiullina decided to leave the sinking ship?

At a meeting with Putin where inflation and a possible key rate cut were discussed, Central Bank chief Elvira Nabiullina and her deputies were absent.

Nabiullina used to regularly attend such meetings, so her absence is noticeable.

She has not appeared in public for about a week. She also missed a speech at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum and a NAUFOR conference. The Central Bank said this is due to illness.

Did the “wise geopolitical strategist” decide to take inflation into his own hands? This is a rather troubling signal for the Russian economy, which is rapidly sliding into decline.

��🇽🔥Just look at these amazing costumes of Mexican fans ahead of the FIFA World Cup

This World Cup has already been marked by a series of scandals even before it begins.

Fans from several countries are complaining about bans and denied entry into the United States. Even some players and team staff are facing strict checks and visa issues. FIFA admits it has no control over the situation.

Iran’s national team is in the most difficult position. The U.S. promised exemptions, but some team officials still did not receive visas.

Fans are also facing problems. Some are simply denied entry, while others have their electronic travel authorizations cancelled right before departure. Even a well-known referee from Somalia was denied entry into the United States.

Tickets for the final are already reaching $10,000. Prosecutors in New York and New Jersey have launched investigations into FIFA over alleged “artificial price inflation.”

In addition, Seattle is planning a “Pride Match” in support of LGBTQ rights. Egypt and Iran have opposed participation in such events, citing religious norms.

Trump: I will bomb the hell out of Iran

Today Trump promised to carry out a VERY HARD STRIKE against Iran and announced plans to take control of Kharg Island.

The key advantage of Kharg is that it hosts Iran’s largest oil export terminal. Around 90% of the country’s oil exports pass through it.

If Kharg were bombed, Iran would suddenly lose its main source of foreign currency.

A strike on it would mean an immediate economic paralysis of oil exports and a severe blow to Tehran’s budget.

The American military has been developing a plan to seize Kharg Island for several months.

The operation has been repeatedly delayed due to excessively high risks in terms of casualties and manpower requirements.

The Pentagon and the White House have viewed any steps toward capturing the island as an “endgame” option — a last resort that could change the balance of the conflict.

Didn’t get permission from Zelensky? For the first time in 23 years, Russia has cancelled a concert on Red Square for Russia Day

The large-scale celebration announced by the Kremlin was suddenly scaled down and moved away from the city center.

No official reasons were given, but it may be linked to the risk of long-range Ukrainian strikes.

For example, just days before the May 7 parade in Moscow, the “Nara” military logistics complex in the Moscow region was hit.

The May 9 parade itself lasted only 45 minutes and featured no military hardware — even though President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree excluding Red Square from the list of targets for that day.

On May 17, Moscow and the Moscow region experienced the largest drone attack since the start of the war.

The concert on Red Square was held even during the COVID-19 pandemic. But it seems the virus is not the worst thing that could “show up” at the celebration in 2026.
