The current pro-European leader of Moldova, Maya Sandu, won the second round of the presidential elections in Moldova.

After counting almost 100% of the ballots, she won 55.41% of the votes, while her rival, the former Prosecutor General of Moldova Oleksandr Stoianoglo, who represents the opposition pro-Russian "Party of Socialists", won 44.59% of the votes.

Therefore, the advantage of Sandu over Stojanoglo amounted to more than 181,730 votes

In her victory speech, delivered after nearly all votes were tallied, Sandu said that she had listened to the voices of her supporters and those of her opponent, Stoianoglo. She said that her primary goal for the coming years would be to serve as a president for all citizens.

“Today, dear Moldovans, you have given a lesson in democracy, worthy of being written in history books... Freedom, truth, and justice have prevailed,” she said.

Well done Moldova.

Seagal, 72, had a distinctly ballooned belly in a newly released Russian propaganda film — “In The Name of Justice”

The images are some of the latest of Seagal, who was granted Russian citizenship in 2016 and has been offloading his vast portfolio of American real estate ever since.

During the documentary, Seagal's bloated belly is so large his untucked shirt hung down from his waist, being pushed out by his massive midriff. 

The 30-minute documentary, publicly available on Russian website Smotrim. ru and operated by Russian state-run broadcaster VGTRK, was released on October 10.

It follows the portly Putin partisan wandering around Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine, between drone shots of rubble and bombed-out buildings.

It looks like he has eaten all the russian army provisions and is in a very poor state for his martial arts performances.

Segal was raised in America, but his grandparents were Russian immigrants, he is banned from entering Ukraine.

I didn't finish explaining Sammie's name yesterday. You see, Sammie was so big, I thought there was a good chance she was male. She stands 14 inches at the shoulders.

Ukrainian innovators have developed an advanced prosthesis, the MARS prosthesis, designed to control drones using muscle movements and AI technology. According to Ukraine’s Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, the prosthesis “literally understands the user’s intentions.”

Equipped with specialized sensors, the MARS prosthesis interprets muscle signals to control the drone. The prosthetic functions much like a computer mouse—hand movements determine the drone’s direction and angle, while muscle tension activates specific commands, like button presses. This technology allows for precise, intuitive drone operation, providing a new level of accessibility for individuals with limb differences and expanding the capabilities of drone pilots in various fields.

She doesn't understand why her father isn't home, or why a phone call has to replace his hug.

But in reality, he is protecting Ukraine from russian invasion, and the cost is high.
