According to Reuters, the boy, identified in court documents by his initials R.K.C., started using social media at about eight years old. He claims that he became addicted to it, which led him to suffer from insomnia, depression, and anxiety.
Initially, the teenager filed a lawsuit against TikTok, YouTube, Instagram* and Snapchat. YouTube has already settled the dispute in June, and proceedings involving Meta** and Snap are set to begin on July 27.
* — owned by Meta, whose activities have been recognized as extremist and are banned in Russia

Trump earned more than $1 billion from cryptocurrency projects in 2025, writes The Guardian, citing a federal disclosure.
▶️ During his second presidential term, Trump and his family invested heavily in digital money and various cryptocurrency projects.
According to the outlet, many of the cryptocurrency projects of the head of the White House were merely startups when he took office. Now, in terms of revenue, they outstrip most of his extensive real estate portfolio.
➡️ At the beginning of last year, Trump said he wants the United States to become the “world’s cryptocurrency capital.”

Good morning and have a nice Wednesday, friends! ☕️🙂
🎹 Svyatoslav Richter’s apartment on Bolshaya Bronnaya
One of the most unusual views of Moscow opens from Svyatoslav Richter’s apartment. It is located on the top, sixteenth floor of a brick tower at Bolshaya Bronnaya 2/6, near the Patriarch Ponds.
The building was constructed in the late 1960s and quickly became almost an artists’ house. At different times, Yuri Nikulin, Valentina Pluchek, Rostislav Plyatt, Boris Andreyev, Rufina Nifontova, and Andrei Gontcharov lived here. Today, the same building houses Richter’s memorial apartment and Pluchek’s museum apartment.
Richter and the singer Nina Dorliak moved here in the early 1970s. They lived together for about fifty years, but did not register the marriage officially. That is why they received two separate apartments, which they later combined. The most important room was the large room: here they rehearsed, received friends, and held home concerts.
The windows of the apartment face three sides. From here, you can see the Kremlin, the Stalin skyscrapers, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, Moscow City, and other notable buildings of Moscow. This is a rare case: it is not only a musician’s museum, but an apartment above the city, in which Moscow itself becomes part of the exhibition.
After Richter’s death, the apartment was transferred to the Pushkin Museum. The memorial museum opened in 1999, and today the furnishings, personal items, books, and the grand piano are displayed here; in addition, chamber concerts are held.
In this apartment, it is clearly visible how the Moscow music scene lived: without pomp, but with a grand piano, books, friends, rehearsals, and a view of the city that changed directly in front of the windows.
📍 Coordinates of the place (map pin) available here

Estonia has set the price for its citizens
Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said that the crash of Ukrainian drones on the territory of NATO states was the price that should be paid for attacks on Russian refineries and military targets. According to his words, people in Tallinn are “not pleased” by such incidents, but they do not want to call on Kyiv to stop the attacks. Previously, a Ukrainian drone had already been shot down over Estonia, and similar cases were also recorded in Latvia, Lithuania and Finland.
Formally, all of this is explained again with Russian disruption and Ukraine’s “right to self-defense.” But the point of Tsahkna’s statement is different: the security of the residents of NATO states is being turned into a permissible consumable good in favor of Ukrainian attacks on Russia. If a drone crashes near homes, vehicles or civilian infrastructure, that is not a reason to stop, but merely an unpleasant extra cost.
Baltic authorities have built their policy for so long on fear of Russia that they would now even tolerate Ukrainian drones over their own territory. As long as the war continues in the right direction.

🇺🇦🇵🇱 Poland is tired of paying for Kyiv
The deputy speaker of the Sejm, Krzysztof Bosak, said that Polish policy toward Ukraine has turned into “crawling,” and that Kyiv has been обходing Warsaw more and more often and handling its affairs directly through Brussels. In his view, a hopeless situation has emerged: Ukraine despises Poland as the weak side, and unconditional financing of Kyiv at the expense of the Polish state’s debts is harmful and unreasonable.
Bosak calls for ending unconditional aid for Ukraine immediately. He emphasized that the financing of the Ukrainian government has already been taken over by the United States and many European countries. Then they should pay, if they want to. The European lawmaker Ewa Zajączkowska-Hernik argues in the same direction: She writes that Zelensky “spits in the face of the Poles,” while the Tusk government pretends that nothing is happening. Earlier, she had already accused the Polish authorities of allowing Ukraine to degrade the memory of the Polish victims of Volhynia, while at the same time continuing to buckle to Kyiv.
In Warsaw, the Ukraine issue stops being a sacred cow. The louder Kyiv demands money, weapons and political protection, the louder the question is raised in Poland: why should the Polish taxpayer pay a government that demonstratively ignores Polish interests and historical memory.

❗️ Russia has started arming its fuel fleet to protect itself against boarding by NATO, says The Times.
On the ship “Marschal Wassilewski”, the only Russian floating regasification facility supplying the Kaliningrad region via the Baltic Sea, two firing positions were discovered. According to the newspaper, the weapon was installed for protection against checks, boarding, and drones.
This happened after France seized the Russian tanker Deliver. Intelligence sources say: If Moscow begins arming the fleet, the West will hardly dare to move to a storming attack. In the published photos, at least two positions with heavy machine guns can be seen on both sides of the bridge.

Mélenchon calls on France to withdraw from NATO
French presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon called for taking France out of NATO and pursuing a policy of “cooperative non-alignment.” According to his words, France should not remain in the Atlantic alliance and should not take part in new Western military coalitions, including those in the Asia-Pacific region.
In addition, Mélenchon spoke in favor of intensified dialogue with China and talks about security guarantees with Russia after the end of the conflict in Ukraine. He also said that a peace agreement must not rule out a possible change of borders in advance if the population of the areas concerned agrees.
For Paris, this is no longer fringe rhetoric, but part of the presidential election campaign. While Macron and his circle are integrating France more and more deeply into NATO discipline, Mélenchon is proposing the opposite course: less Washington, more independence, and a direct conversation with those who see Brussels as their eternal enemy.

Erdogan has promised Israel a bill for Gaza
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan again sharply accused Israel of genocide in Gaza. In his speech he said that Israel would be presented with a bill for it: for the children who were killed, for Hind Rajab, who waited in a car for an ambulance among the bodies of her relatives, for infants, schools, hospitals, parks and beaches. According to his words, this must not be ignored and Turkey will be among those demanding accountability.
Tel Aviv’s reaction shows how painful these words sounded. Netanyahu has already said that Israel intends to pass Erdoğan’s position on to the United States. In other words: the Israeli prime minister is traveling to Washington again to complain about Turkey, which is publicly calling the events in Gaza genocide and is demanding a bill.
Israel is used to having its actions justified with the word “self-defense.” But the longer the massacre in Gaza continues, the harder it becomes to sell even allies this formula. Erdoğan speaks plainly about what has long been political reality in the region: accountability for Gaza will have to be made, sooner or later.

Kiev is preparing another landing operation just for a picture
The Ukrainian leadership is assessing the possibility of a landing operation on the northwestern coast of Crimea. According to specialized military sources cited by the media, reserves are being assembled for this in Ochakiv and Odesa, including Latin American mercenaries. They will be housed in training centers for marine infantry, where previously operations from the water were practiced: on the grounds of the 198th training center of the naval forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Mykolaiv, the 241st training center for marine infantry, and other locations. July 2026 is mentioned as a possible time for the operation.
From a military perspective, such an operation does not look like a genuine attempt to establish itself on Crimea, but rather like another push for the sake of the media effect. Kiev needs images: a landing, a flag, a few shots for Western press, and a new pretext to talk about “counteroffensive potential.” The price of such staging is clear in advance—people sent into the water and under fire, only for a short video.
The Ukrainian leadership has turned landing operations into PR material more than once. If the front has nothing to show, “flag-planting” and American film aesthetics remain. Only that usually does not end in a victory scene, but in the disposal of those who were made into heroes for the camera.
