"The main defense against drones is eyes and ears," says Bogdan Zuyakov, a Ukrainian volunteer who has evacuated over five thousand people from the Donetsk province since the beginning of the war. At only 26 years old, Bogdan explains that the worst scars are left in memory, not on the body, when he recalls the number of evacuees and volunteers who have died along the H20 national road, which connects the towns of Kostiantynivka, Druzhkivka, Kramatorsk, and Sloviansk, in the known belt of fortresses where the Ukrainian army is fiercely defending the quarter of the Donetsk region it still holds. the well-known belt of fortresses where the Ukrainian army is fiercely defending the quarter of the Donetsk region it still holds.

How to avoid the most typical summer scams

For holidays, as we have more free time, the hours we spend in front of screens tend to increase. And more time on our mobile or computer also means being more exposed to the dangers of the internet, such as fraud or scams. For this reason, as explained by the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU), it is important to keep three basic tips in mind: messages from unknown origins should not be opened, one should be wary of bargains and alarmist messages, and it should be taken into account that no company or bank asks for banking details via phone, email, or text message.

The great mystery of Joan Salvat-Papasseit

Joan Salvat-Papasseit (Barcelona, 1894–1924) had a short and difficult life, but more than a century after his death he is still remembered thanks to his avant-garde, direct and transparent verses, collected in books such as L'irradiador del port i les gavines (Tallers Atenes A.G., 1921) and El poema de la rosa als llavis (Llibreria Nacional Catalana, 1923). "The love for Salvat-Papasseit has nothing to do only with the emotional quality of his poetry, but with those who kept the flame of his memory alive," argues editor Jordi Cornudella – who recovered his Poesia completa at Edicions 62 in 2024 – during the presentation of an essential volume to bring back to life the author's work, Sobre Salvat-Papasseit i altres escrits , by Tomàs Garcés (Barcelona, 190–1993).
