In Kharkiv every single day, despite the weather and threat of glide bombs, these oldies gather for a dance❤️
It reminds me of an old Ukrainian proverb.
Страх смерті позбавляє простої радості життя
The fear of death takes away from the simple joy of living🥰

About time an official said it. “Russia’s acts of sabotage against western targets may eventually prompt Nato to consider invoking the alliance’s Article 5 mutual defence clause, the head of Germany’s foreign intelligence service has warned”

Russia’s sabotage of western targets ‘could trigger Nato defence clause’

When the Russian government paper features headlines like “Panic attack for Russia’s currency market” you know there’s a problem. Today’s Russian papers focus on the falling rouble. One paper notes that “news from the currency markets resembled reports from a war zone.” #ReadingRussia
