So, what did we achieve for 🇪🇺's cloud situation in 2025? It is now crystal clear our governments can't continue to run on 🇺🇸 clouds.

The attacks on diversity in the U.K. come from quite surprising people. Ms Braverman is a Buddhist with two Indian parents, Mr Braverman is a migrant from South Africa. They are a model example of U.K. diversity.
"Read the bloody room" tweets Mr Braverman, who opposes the King's message of togetherness, but strongly approves of President Trump!

Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins.
It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia.
The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.
