If you are interested in a print of one of my photographs. I created a discount code: UXTEUN at pixels. which will cut 50% off my markup. I have to warn you that my markup isn't that high to begin with, so it might not amount to very much unless you're wanting a huge, framed print or canvas. The discount code is good through 7 June 2024.

⚡️German defense minister: Europe needs to guarantee security without relying on US.

Europe needs to step up its defense production to protect itself and Ukraine as the U.S. will likely decrease its involvement on the continent in the near future, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius told die Welt am Sonntag in a Dec. 16 interview.

Pistorius noted that Europe may have to replace U.S. aid to Ukraine if Washington fails to approve new funding.
