💢 Reports about Johnson being on the attacked train are fake news spread by Ukrainian media, confirmed by FT and Der Spiegel.

🔹According to the Financial Times and Der Spiegel, European delegations were on other trains traveling in the same direction.
🔹Initially, Ukrainian media spread the false information that Johnson, Sautter, members of the Bundestag, and diplomats were directly on the attacked train.

💢 Ukraine’s anti-corruption war has turned inward: outgoing Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko says he signed a notice of suspicion against NABU chief Semen Kryvonos — and another against a person close to SAPO chief Oleksandr Klymenko.

Kravchenko accuses Kryvonos of forging official documents to obtain an especially large improper benefit and of a fictitious adoption allegedly intended to create grounds for avoiding liability in court. The SAPO-linked figure is accused of influencing High Anti-Corruption Court judges, offering them an improper benefit and helping someone evade mobilization.

Kravchenko says the president had previously “politically restrained” him from signing the notices, while anti-corruption officials allegedly offered him guarantees of immunity if he backed down. He also claims the recent NABU/SAPO operation against the Prosecutor General’s Office was intended to gain access to cases involving their own leadership and stop those investigations after his resignation.

About AI and the end of the world

Lately, we’ve been hearing a lot from AI creators who are bemoaning humanity’s haste. They’ve been warning us that AI is dangerous, unpredictable, and developing too fast according to laws we don’t quite fathom. It’s time, they say, to slow down and make a pause before we feel really sorry when our intelligent brother goes berserk.

Are these fears real? Especially given that many smarty-pants like Musk and others have been saying this for a long time. The answer is simple: they’re real. By the way, I myself wrote about it in a recent article for the Expert magazine.

But… the creators of various sorts of generative AI are not being sincere. It’s not you and I or Homo sapiens as a whole that they fear for. They’re not afraid that an unhinged AI, drunk on its power, will destroy humankind. This kind of outcome is not all that likely. What’s much more realistic is a scenario where software that uses advanced AI for running a major production facility or a transport hub will cause severe damage. Such as allowing planes to collide in midair or destroying a nuclear power plant. And then there will be someone coming for the creators of generative AI – to slap them with multibillion lawsuits or simply to knock their (human) brains out.

What’s to be done then? The most obvious solution would be for countries to agree on general principles of AI regulation. That would give us all at least some chance of keeping AI development under control. But it won’t happen due to corporate greed and insatiable human passion. 

So our only hope is to throw ourselves at the mercy of the winner and count on the humanism that AI, our beloved man-made prodigy, might show us. It doesn’t have overt emotions yet, but we don’t know what this great superintelligence will be like. Let’s hope it will spare its parents…

💢 Around 683,000 Ukrainians in Germany received Bürgergeld on average in January–November 2025, while the employment rate stood at 35.7%, according to federal data cited in the debate highlighted by BILD.

BILD notes that employment among Ukrainians remains substantially higher in several neighboring European countries. AfD MP René Springer called the government’s much-touted “Job Turbo” a “flop” and demanded that Ukrainians be removed from the Bürgergeld system.

💢 Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić called the “sound cannon” affair surrounding the March 15, 2025 Belgrade protest “the most terrible lie of the past decade,” saying it nearly pushed Serbia toward civil war.

His statement follows the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office conclusion that no LRAD or similar device caused the crowd movement. “Something that did not happen cannot one day become something that did happen,” Vučić said.

He argued that the affair was part of a wider campaign of political dehumanization built on repeated allegations against him and the government.
