It's minus 12°C outside in Ukraine.
The room where the youth orchestra rehearses is also cold, and due to the lack of electricity, they have to use a speaker and a battery to recharge it. But despite this, rehearsals continue.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Today, we remember the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and honor the survivors who shared their stories so we never forget. "Never again" isn't just words—it's a commitment. With antisemitism rising, we can't be silent. We have to stand against hate wherever it appears.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Make no mistake: if Europe is under attack today not only by Russia, but also China and the US, it’s because it offers a credible, and threatening, alternative to their models of power

Arctic security can only be achieved together.
This is why the proposed additional tariffs are a mistake, especially between long-standing allies.
The EU and US have agreed to a trade deal last July.
A deal is a deal.
And when friends shake hands, it must mean something.

The US has reduced its presence in Greenland to a single base and less than 200 troops.
If Russia were an imminent threat, Washington could simply deploy more forces tomorrow under the existing defense treaty.
Trump is just inventing a security crisis to justify an annexation
