Croatia has joined the PURL initiative alongside Romania

According to Zelensky, the initiative is important as it helps purchase U.S. weapons and strengthen Ukraineโ€™s defense.

โ€œIn particular, these include Patriot missiles and other systems we need. Thanks to this, we have already been able to form eight aid packages, and two more are currently being prepared,โ€ Zelensky said.

In total, 24 countries have already supported the initiative, contributing $4.3 billion, including nearly $1.5 billion in December alone.

โ€”๐ŸŽพ ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ธ Novak Djokovic:

Federer and Nadal come from two Western powers. I showed up from Serbia and said out loud that I was going to be number 1. The whole system didn't like that: media, sponsors, tournaments. I felt like an unwanted guest crashing their party. It really hurt me back then. They wanted me to play to their tune โ€” be politically correct, fit into their script. It hurt me so much that I even changed my behavior, hoping they'd accept me. In the end, I understood that I had to stay true to myself and accept that some people will never like me. And that's fine. I am who I am and I sleep peacefully.

โ€”๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท UPDATE: Full airspace shutdowns are rare outside of major military operations, cyber incidents, or severe security events.

โžก๏ธ Was this something more than a "communication failure"? Let us know your opinion!

โœ๏ธ I found this testimony of a Greek citizen; of course, take it with a grain of salt:

I am Greek and I can tell you with certainty that nothing strange is happening.

From the investigation conducted so far by both the National Cybersecurity Authority and the EYP, no evidence of sabotage or cyberattack has emerged. Instead, it appears that the problem is due to damage to an antenna in the Gerania Mountains that serves the Athens FIR.
