'Winter as a weapon': NATO chief Mark Rutte urges more help for Ukraine

Nov 15, 2024

Riga [Latvia], November 15: NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has called on alliance members and other Western partners to provide more support for Ukraine as cold weather looms.
Speaking after a meeting with Latvian President Edgars Rinkevicsat the Adazi military base on Thursday, Rutte warned that Russian president Vladimir Putin "will use winter as a weapon."
Rutte said Russia would try to destroy Ukraine's energy supply system: "That is why we must all increase our support for Ukraine, including air defence to protect critical infrastructure." In order to strengthen their own defence capabilities, NATO members would have to increase their defence spending and boost arms production, Rutte said. (DPA)

Next Milestone for the Leica M-System Leica M EV1 - the first M-Camera with an integrated electronic viewfinder

Wetzlar [Germany], November 6: With the new Leica M EV1, Leica Camera has reached the next milestone in its history and is introducing a new segment in the Leica M-System. In addition to the digital and analogue M-Camera with an optical rangefinder, the company is welcoming a new member to the M family in the form of an M-Camera with an integrated electronic viewfinder (EVF). The Leica M EV1 combines the advantages of an EVF with the traditional values of the M-System. Not only does it make joining the world of M photography easier, it also enables reliable and comfortable focusing irrespective of visual acuity - in particular when using the fast Leica Summilux and Noctilux lenses at very shallow depths of field, and when composing images with ultra wide-angle, telephoto and macro lenses.
