I asked Budanov whether Medinsky had again given historical lectures during the negotiations. “No. There was only one historical example, which was quite interesting. It was brief, taking a few minutes” (Budanov declined to elaborate on the specific example). #Ukraine

Kyiv. Cafe. Electricity from generators. But since there is no water either after the shelling, the dishes are paper. Only the inscription on the cup is irrelevant. It says “the holiday is rushing”. It is difficult to call life in Kyiv a “holiday” right now))) #Ukraine
