Her long hair is expertly tousled and dyed a soft shade of pink. The Indio sunlight catches on her boho-style belt, and the fringing on her suede outfit seems to dance in the wind. She’s even managed to grab a branded cupholder from Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner’s rhode skin x 818 tequila collaboration, an influencer must-have at the first weekend of the festival. Not that Aitana would have much use for either a lip balm or a glass of tequila, though. Because Aitana, who boasts 392,000 followers, doesn’t really exist.

Four years of Gepard in Ukraine: How the vintage German weapon is proving its worth

Four years of Gepard in Ukraine: How the vintage German weapon is proving its worth

Published by Sam Flores

Germany announced the delivery of Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns to Ukraine shortly after Russia’s full-scale invasion four years ago, marking the first heavy weapons of Western design that Berlin supplied from its own stocks. On 26 April 2022, Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht confirmed the decision on the sidelines of a meeting of around 40 supporting states at Ramstein airbase. The systems came from industrial stocks and the export had been approved the day before, Lambrecht said at the time. Germany has since delivered at least 55 Gepard systems to Ukraine, where they have become an integral part of the country’s air defence. The announcement came shortly after Russian massacres in Bucha became known following the town’s liberation by Ukrainian forces at the end of March 2022. Before the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Germany had offered to supply 5,000 helmets to Ukraine — a response that drew widespread criticism. The Gepard was the first heavy weaponry Germany delivered without a so-called ring exchange, in which Berlin would supply weapons to a third country that would …

The same scent I used to wear as a university student in 2014 has now almost doubled in cost, with 100ml of the sea salt-scented fragrance now sitting at over £120. Simply put, it’s out of my price range. My phone, like most things about me, knows this. As such, my targeted social media ads aggressively point me towards bargain fragrance sites that claim to offer a dupe of the same coastal aroma for around a fifth of the price. Except, (big shock here) they’re so weak that the smell is only detectable for roughly five milliseconds, which is how I took to browsing for real bottles of the stuff on second-hand sites …

If you’re a politician, it’s one thing to see your face and policies made fun of in a political cartoon. But satirical currency?
