<p>Ukraine certainly knows how to keep the morale high of the citizens even as it faces the mighty Russian army.</p>

<p>Ever since the Russian invasion began on February 24, several tales of bravery have emerged.</p>

<p>From confronting Russian soldiers to blocking the passage of a Russian convoy from entering the city, people have contributed in their own way as others fight as soldiers.</p>

<p>Hence, close on the heels of the 94th Academy Awards ceremony on Monday, Ukraine handed out its “Ministry of Defence of Ukraine Oscars 2022”, giving awards under various categories, while mocking the Russian military.</p>

<p>Seven videos selected by the defence ministry highlighted various aspects of the war. From drone footage, to displaced people of Ukraine singing in bomb shelters, the tweets have honoured the bravery shown by the people of the country.</p>

<p>The Best Picture Award has been given to the courage shown by the Ukrainian state border guards telling the Russian warship to “Go F*** Yourself" while defending Snake Island in response to demands to surrender.</p>

Ukraine hands out ‘Oscars awards’ for brave display against Russian forces

<p>Activists have criticised the menu being served at this year’s UN climate summit in Glasgow. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

<p>It has at least one item that had a significantly larger carbon footprint than the average meal in the UK. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Joel Scott-Halkes, a climate activist and founder, wildcard.land, posted, "Meat and fish on the menu at #COP26?! This is the equivalent of serving cigarettes at a lung cancer conference. Only when governments grasp animal agriculture’s central role in the #climate crisis will we stand a chance of solving it." &nbsp;</p>

<p>The COP26 released the menu online for all to see and showcased the carbon impact, The Hill reported. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The haggis dish, which was pointed by the website, was twice the carbon footprint of the average meal in the UK. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>As per the report, there was a separate menu for burgers and half of which had about the same footprint as the haggis dish only. &nbsp;</p>

<p>As per the menu, 95% food was locally sourced and seasonal. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
