Since last March, Malta has provided over €1.7 million in emergency assistance to Ukraine, amid the ongoing war in the country.

In an international conference addressing the Ukrainian people’s resilience in Paris, Minister for Foreign Affairs, EU Affairs & Trade Ian Borg stated that Malta will continue providing help to Ukraine.

“In light of the limited resources our country has, as well as the neutrality which is an integral part of our country’s constitution, Malta actively answered to this threat, particularly with regards to medical equipment and medicine”, Borg stated.

Borg went on to condemn the Russian Federation’s systemic destruction of Ukrainian infrastructure, stating that such actions are in serious breach of international humanitarian laws.

During the conference, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked the European Union for its $19 billion financial aid package. “Every day we gain new strength for Ukraine to get through this winter, and I thank everyone who works for this and who helps our country, ” he stated.

As cinema-goers around the world await the arrival of James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water, passers-by and commuters in El Segundo, California had to the opportunity to see a futuristic concept car inspired by the film.

The Mercedez-Benz Vision AVTR was first unveiled in 2020 and was reportedly inspired by the original Avatar movie and looks as futuristic as they come. With light-accented tires, side-impact door beams and gill-like flaps on the car’s exterior, the vehicle really does look like something from Pandora.

The vehicle truly is a reflection of Avatar: The Way Of Water’s grandeur, with the film having to be the fourth or fifth biggest box office hit of all time to just break even.

In a recent interview, James Cameron himself failed to shed light on the film’s financial standing, but went as far as saying that it was “very f****** expensive” – coming from a director who helmed projects like Titanic, and Terminator, that’s saying something.

The premise is basically explained at the beginning of Sean’s videos: “Hi, I’m Sean, I’m a portrait photographer. I take photos of interesting people I meet. Is it okay if I take a couple of pictures of you?” 

How would you react if you were stopped by Sean in the streets to get your picture taken?
