Russian Forces Capture Lastochkyné: Ukrainian Army Withdraws – Latest Updates

(Keystone-ATS) The Ukrainian army announced on Monday its withdrawal from the small village of Lastochkyné, near the town of Avdiïvka (which fell) more than a week ago. Russian forces, for their part, claimed its capture.
“The Ukrainian armed forces withdrew from the village of Lastochkyne in order to organize defense,” Dmytro Lykhovy, the spokesperson for the Ukrainian operational command in this area, said on television. The Russian Ministry of Defense declared on Telegram that it had “liberated” this village, continuing its push into this sector, following having already taken control of Avdiïvka in mid-February.
The capture of this industrial city constituted the first real major territorial gain of the Russian army since the conquest of Bakhmut in May 2023.
Despite significant human losses, the Russian army seems confident and has claimed the capture of several small villages in recent weeks.
Lack of men and ammunition
Faced with it, the Ukrainian forces suffer from a lack of ammunition and struggle to recruit. In recent days, Ukrainian officials, led by President Volodymyr Zelensky, have called on Western allies to deliver more weapons, and more quickly.
“The question of whether Ukraine will lose, whether the situation will be very difficult and whether there will be a large number of victims depends on you, on our partners, on the Western world,” warned the Ukrainian president on Sunday, while his country has just entered its third year of war once morest Russia.

Researchers have discovered ways to make us younger once more.
Is aging inevitable? There is no alternative to death, say longevity researchers. Of course, we now know that a lot of exercise, little consumption of meat, less food at all and cold temperatures can significantly prolong life. Genes aren’t even responsible for this. But they still play a role. But even on this front there is news from the happy science of biotechnology.
Because the lever can now also be applied here, the Yamanaka cocktail is responsible for this. Yes, this name will send a pleasant shiver down the spine of those who know stem cell researchers. The Japanese Shinya Yamanaka is one of the big names in this field. A genius, say people close to him. He received the Nobel Prize in 2012 for a completely novel approach that enabled the reprogramming of cells.
He had just mixed his special cocktail for this. He – or rather his team – had administered a mixture of four molecules, a cocktail, to an ordinary cell. And, miraculously, nature’s clock ran backwards. A completely normal skin cell became the original cell once more, which can develop into all cell types. It has the same potential as embryonic stem cells, i.e. cells that occur in the embryonic stage and are still completely unspecialized. That was a scientific hammer. No question.
While this all took place in the field of basic research, there are now indications, indeed more than that, for a possible rejuvenation of us living beings. Apparently the biological clock can generally be turned back at least somewhat. A team led by the Spanish biochemist Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte has shown this. It used the Yamanaka cocktail in question. The cocktail was injected into the cells of two-year-old mice. The result was that their epigenetic pattern changed, the researchers report. It didn’t become “baby cells”. Nevertheless, some organs had the pattern of young cells. So what does that mean for us? Well, a young Faust certainly doesn’t become an old scholar when his cells take a hearty sip of Yamanaka’s rejuvenating potion.
But things might work a little better once more. David Sinclair of Harvard University is already a thorn in the side of aging. And that’s exactly where he achieved a small sensation: Older mice saw better once more following being injected with Yamanaka’s cocktail.
And what works with mice might – wink, wink – also apply to humans. Yes, why not?

La Última Palabra Debate: América vs Cruz Azul – Does Cruz Azul Shrink when facing América?
2024-02-26 05:42:00
Although América only beat Cruz Azul 1-0, the debate sparked at the La Última Palabra (LUP) table regarding the ways in which the Young Classic was defined, where they believe that La Maquina ‘shit* itself’ every time. who sees the yellow sweater.
In the first half of the Young Classic, América fully exhibited Cruz Azul, as they scored 5 goals, of which 4 were annulled and in the 2nd quarter they gave the ball to the rival, a fact that was not liked, but even so they were not in danger to obtain the 3 points.

Does Cruz Azul shrink when he plays with America?
The LUP program began with everything due to the debate of whether or not América is the favorite to become the Clausura 2024 champion, where Carlos Hermosillo began by saying that La Maquina has a very limited squad, in addition to the fact that ‘they were lucky’.
“The first arrival that Cruz Azul had was at minute 45, when Rotondi arrived swept away and flew it… minute 45! In the second half, for those who say that Cruz Azul threw them behind, and I think they studied them very well, they had 2 clear goals. We were fortunate, because Kevin Mier is a great goalkeeper,” he commented.
The debate broke out with Gustavo Mendoza, who assured that, every time Cruz Azul sees a yellow jersey, he shits himself, because the way they displayed them he knows that it is something that happens ‘normally’; It is customary for America to beat The Machine.

“Last week the gentlemen there (Hermosillo and Fabián Estay) said that America was going down… if by going down, it beats the leader, because it beats him easily. They see the yellow one and they change,” he commented.
Likewise, Gustavo Mendoza asked Alex Blanco to tell his friends from Cruz Azul that “his team screwed up with América, and that they fix that, because it is a mentality issue,” lighting up the table. LUP.
