#amazon #facebook #shopping - How Facebook Marketplace Amassed More Shoppers Than Amazon: CNBC

6 March 2025

Facebook’s losing younger users, but one thing is keeping people hooked: Marketplace. With over a billion users in 70 countries, it’s now one of the biggest resale platforms, bigger than eBay and Craigslist in some places.

Unlike other sites, Facebook doesn’t charge listing fees, making it a top choice for Gen Z, budget shoppers, and secondhand sellers. But how important is Marketplace to Facebook’s future? And is Meta using it to grow its ad business?

#Ukraine #defence - EU states discuss air protection zone 'Sky Shield' for Ukraine | DW News

6 March 2925

European military experts have presented a plan that could offer Ukraine protection from Russian missile and drone attacks. Called 'Sky Shield,' it involves deploying a European force of 120 fighter jets to protect Kyiv and western Ukraine from Russian air strikes.

The initiative proposes covering three of Ukraine's operating nuclear power plants and the cities of Odesa and Lviv, but not the frontline or Ukraine's east. Its authors stress that Sky Shield would be an explicitly Europe-led air protection zone operated separately from NATO.

6 March 2925

U.S. special envoy for Russia and Ukraine, Keith Kellogg speaks at a Council on Foreign Relations event in Washington D.C. (Livesteam courtesy of the Council on Foreign Relations). John Ratcliffe, the CIA director, said the US was ready to work with Ukraine again after it paused the sharing of military intelligence and suspended military aid. Speaking to Fox Business, Ratcliffe said that a conciliatory statement released by Zelensky yesterday showed that he was ready to discuss a ceasefire with Putin. “President Zelensky put out a statement that said: ‘I am ready for peace, and I want President Donald Trump’s leadership to bring about that peace,’” Ratcliffe said. “And so I think on the military front and the intelligence front, the pause that allowed that to happen, I think will go away, and I think we’ll work shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine, as we have, to push back on the aggression that’s there.” Zelensky also wrote to Trump ahead of the US president’s address to a joint session of Congress agreeing to “come to the negotiating table” to strike a peace deal.

#Ukraine - Life in occupied Ukraine: Kherson and Zaporizhzhia - The Global Jigsaw, BBC World Service

6 March 2025

In the third part of our mini series looking at life after the start of the war in Ukraine, we explore the Kremlin’s challenges in subjugating occupied parts of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions.

The Global Jigsaw looks at Russia’s "land grab playbook" seemingly aimed at erasing local identity and Russifying “liberated” territories. Three years into the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, we ask what life is like in areas under Russian control. Part 1 looks at “ripe for russification” Crimea, which was annexed 11 years ago. Part 2 focuses on Moscow’s subsequent efforts to assert itself in the separatist East.

These demonstrations, part of a wider group of concurrent pro-Russian protests across southern and eastern Ukraine, escalated into an armed conflict between the separatist forces of the self-declared Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, and the Ukrainian government Prior to a change of the top leadership in August, the separatists were largely led by Russian citizensRussian paramilitaries are reported to make up from 15% to 80% of the combatants.
