By contrast, a heavy contingent of Ukraine’s closest allies from the Baltics, Nordic countries and Eastern Europe, along with the EU and Nato leaders, are all attending ahead of a crunch meeting in Ramstein, Germany, on Friday that should see further sophisticated weaponry pledged to Ukraine. Of the G7 leaders, only German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, whose country is under pressure to deliver state-of-the art Leopard tanks to Ukraine, will address attendees at the annual event.

Ukraine, which dominated the WEF’s last big meeting in May, has sent another high-level delegation. This will focus on putting place the blocks for its future reconstruction.

How much Woolworths Food prices increased between 2022 and 2023We analysed Woolworths Food prices to determine if the retailer hiked prices by more than average inflation. That is a poor list. 🚮 I also looked at that list and did not even find two items on it that I'm buying at WOOLWORTHS_SA. Take their pies e.g.; it has gone up by more than R12 over the last 12 months, salads by R5 over the last few months & polony by R5, their roasted chicken has gone smaller, etc. Going to drop WOOLWORTHS_SA for PicknPay or CheckersSA Cannot justify paying such high prices
