I cancelled my yearly donation of €60 to #Makertube ... and switched to the Community Plan, €5 /month, 100 GB Storage as @MakerTube is now moving to a subscription based model :)

Ukraine’s courage is unshakeable. So is our support.

We have disbursed a further €3.47 billion to Ukraine to meet its urgent defence needs.

This funding, under the defence window of the €90 billion Ukraine Support Loan, will help delivers vital equipment to protect Ukrainian airspace:

🔹 Jet-powered long-range drones
🔹 Air defence systems and missiles
🔹 Gripen fighter jets

By ensuring Ukraine can defend its people, we are securing Europe's future.
