The surge in bloodshed has divided Europe's attention at a time of rising doubts about the West's ability to keep supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russia. After five hours of talks, the leaders called for «continued, rapid, safe and unhindered humanitarian access and aid to reach those in need through all necessary measures including humanitarian corridors and pauses for humanitarian needs». They said the EU «will work closely with partners in the region to protect civilians, provide assistance and facilitate access to food, water, medical care, fuel and shelter».

Iñigo Quintero, a name that until recently remained in relative obscurity beyond Spain's borders, made a remarkable leap to stardom. On a single day, "Si No Estás," one of Quintero's compositions, amassed over 5.7 million plays, catapulting it to the pinnacle of Spotify's global chart. This remarkable feat marked the first time a solo Spanish artist achieved such an accomplishment. In a previous instance, Canary Islander Quevedo achieved similar success alongside Argentina's Bizarrap with «Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 52.» But Quintero's ascent doesn't end there. «Si No Estás» also etched its name into the annals of Billboard's global charts, securing the fourth spot on Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and landing at number ten on Billboard Global 200. This meteoric rise is all the more astounding because it transpired without the aid of conventional promotional strategies, press releases, or public information about the enigmatic artist behind the sensation. Even when Billboard Español sought an interview with Quintero's representative, the response was that he is not presently engaging with the press.
