PS1: Yes, get a flu vaccine. Yes, if you’re sick avoid mixing with people and wear a mask (preferably an FFP2 one). Yes, if you are in a crowded indoor space, you might consider wearing a mask to reduce your chance of infection (again, FFP2 one). But this is good practice every winter!

🇪🇺👀 Kaja Kallas: As intense diplomacy to end Russia's war continues, our focus lasts on two priorities: increasing pressure on Moscow and strengthening support for Kyiv.
This means more sanctions, securing financial aid to Ukraine for 2026-27 and cracking down on oil-smuggling ships.
