Ukraine continues to try to contain Russian attacks on the east and northeast fronts

Ukrainian troops continue to try to contain the Russian attacks in different areas of the front of the Kharkov (northeast) and Donetsk (east) regions, where, one more day, the most intense fighting of the entire battle line takes place.
“As in the previous day, the most tense situation is in the direction of Pokrovsk,” says Ukrainian military part published shortly after noon.
According to the Kiev General Staff, in that area of Donetsk there are eight active combats and in the last hours, Ukrainian forces have repelled eight Russian attacks there.
Kiev troops continue to try to stabilize the situation in that segment of the contact line.
The Ukrainian General Staff also reports six Russian attacks repelled in the vicinity of the town of Kupiansk, in the southeast of the Kharkov region.
Regarding the front opened by Russia in the middle of this month in the northern border area of the Ukrainian region of Kharkov, the Kiev General Staff affirms that the Russians have not carried out offensive actions since the beginning of the day.
“The units of our Army strengthen the defense and keep the Russian invaders under fire control,” the Ukrainian side adds.
Meanwhile, the authorities of the Kharkov region have reported the death of a woman in a new airstrike launched yesterday by Russia against a residential area of the city of Kharkov, the second largest in Ukraine and the capital of that border province of the northeast of the country.
Ukrainian diplomacy and President Volodymyr Zelenski himself, who began an international tour in Spain on Monday that continues today in Belgium and will also take him to Portugal, has insistently asked after this attack that Ukraine be allowed to use the Western weapons it receives against military targets located within Russia.
Russian forces launch a good part of their attacks against the border region of Kharkov from their own territory.
Most of Ukraine’s allies continue to prohibit him from using the weapons they give him against the territory of the Russian Federation for fear of possible reprisals from Moscow.
The Belgian Prime Minister, Alexander De Croo, made it clear on Tuesday to Zelenski that Ukraine will not be able to use the F-16 aircraft it receives from Belgium against Russian territory, which will limit Kiev’s ability to defend its border territories from air attacks launched from Russian planes that have not entered Ukrainian airspace

Deportation flight lands in Venezuela; government denies criminal gang links

A flight carrying 175 Venezuelan migrants deported from the United States arrived in Caracas on Sunday. This marks the third group to return since repatriation flights resumed a week ago, and among them is an alleged member of a criminal organization, according to Venezuelan authorities.
Unlike previous flights operated by the Venezuelan state airline Conviasa, this time, an aircraft from the U.S. airline Eastern landed at Maiquetía Airport, on the outskirts of Caracas, shortly after 2:00 p.m. with the deportees.
Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, who welcomed the returnees at the airport, stated that the 175 repatriated individuals were coming back “after being subjected, like all Venezuelans, to persecution” and dismissed claims that they belonged to the criminal organization El Tren de Aragua.
However, Cabello confirmed that “for the first time in these flights we have been carrying out, someone of significance wanted by Venezuelan justice has arrived, and he is not from El Tren de Aragua.” Instead, he belongs to a gang operating in the state of Trujillo. The minister did not disclose the individual’s identity or provide details on where he would be taken.

Son of journalist José Rubén Zamora condemns father’s return to prison as “illegal”

The son of renowned journalist José Rubén Zamora Marroquín, José Carlos Zamora, has denounced as “illegal” the court order that sent his father back to a Guatemalan prison on March 3, after already spending 819 days behind barsover a highly irregular money laundering case.
“My father’s return to prison was based on an arbitrary and illegal ruling. It is also alarming that the judge who had granted him house arrest received threats,” José Carlos Zamora told EFE in an interview on Saturday.
The 67-year-old journalist was sent back to prison inside the Mariscal Zavala military barracks on March 3, when Judge Erick García upheld a Court of Appeals ruling that overturned the house arrest granted to him in October. Zamora had already spent 819 days in prison over an alleged money laundering case.
His son condemned the situation as “unacceptable”, stating that the judge handling the case “cannot do his job in accordance with the law due to threats against his life.”

Miyazaki’s style goes viral with AI but at what cost?

This week, you may have noticed that everything—from historical photos and classic movie scenes to internet memes and recent political moments—has been reimagined on social media as Studio Ghibli-style portraits. The trend quickly went viral thanks to ChatGPT and the latest update of OpenAI’s chatbot, released on Tuesday, March 25.
The newest addition to GPT-4o has allowed users to replicate the distinctive artistic style of the legendary Japanese filmmaker and Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki (My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away). “Today is a great day on the internet,” one user declared while sharing popular memes in Ghibli format.
While the trend has captivated users worldwide, it has also highlighted ethical concerns about AI tools trained on copyrighted creative works—and what this means for the livelihoods of human artists.
Not that this concerns OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, which has actively encouraged the “Ghiblification”experiments. Its CEO, Sam Altman, even changed his profile picture on the social media platform X to a Ghibli-style portrait.
Miyazaki, now 84 years old, is known for his hand-drawn animation approach and whimsical storytelling. He has long expressed skepticism about AI’s role in animation. His past remarks on AI-generated animation have resurfaced and gone viral again, particularly when he once said he was “utterly disgusted” by an AI demonstration.
