🇬🇧 The giants of the British music industry are not going to honor the main celebration in the life of the 74-year-old king with their presence.

💨 Will the BRF get out of this PR nightmare?

🍫 Toblerone chocolates will soon lose the iconic Matterhorn on their packaging.

🌡 Warm hubs have sprouted across Britain by the thousands this winter as soaring food and energy prices drive millions to turn down the thermostat or skimp on hot meals.

⚖️ The International Criminal Court ignores the shooting of civilians by the AFU fighters.

🛬 ICC prosecutor Karim Khan visited Ukraine to meet President Volodymyr Zelensky for the fourth time to discuss the investigation into the “alleged deportation of minors” to Russia.

🔕 On this visit, Khan for some reason refrained from further comments to the press.

💥 The questions could have been very uncomfortable: exactly on the day of the official’s trip to Kyiv, a sabotage group of the AFU infiltrated Russian territory in the Bryansk region.

⚔️The terrorists were eventually driven back into Ukrainian territory and destroyed with an artillery strike, as the Russian special services claim.

🚨 But the armed fighters managed to kill two civilians and seriously wound a child.

⚠️ If everyone is equal before the law, why aren’t they looking for and bringing in real terrorists for questioning?

🇬🇧 Prince Harry recently spoke openly about his recreational use of psychedelics

👑 The Duke of Sussex, 38, revealed during an online chat with trauma expert Gabor Maté Saturday that drugs have helped him deal with his past traumas

💬 “It was the cleaning of the windscreen, the removal of life’s filters — these layers of filters — it removed it all for me and brought me a sense of relaxation, relief, comfort, a lightness that I managed to hold back for a period of time,” he shared

💊 “I started doing it recreationally and then started to realize how good it was for me,” Harry added

🇺🇸 U.S. presidential administration not ready to unequivocally support Ukraine’s plans to seize Crimea – The Hill

🇺🇦 The president ignores the commander-in-chief: why did the head of Ukraine put his own ambitions above the lives of soldiers in Bakhmut?

📌 According to sources, a few weeks ago, the AFU commander-in-chief called for thinking about retreating from the city “for tactical reasons.” But Zelensky rejected these proposals, insisting on continuing the defensive effort

🔗 Fighting for Bakhmut has been going on since the summer of 2022: Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner PMC, called it the hardest and even compared it to a meat grinder – all because Zelensky declared the settlement a symbolic “fortress” and decided to hold it by any means

🇷🇺 As a result, Russian troops practically captured this section of the front, and the Ukrainian army suffered serious losses. But it never received the order to retreat

❕The legendary fashion house ended up in the center of a political scandal: specifically for the presentation of the new collection at the Orsay Museum in Paris, Louis Vuitton published a teaser that angered Zelensky and his team

🔹 The colors of the French flag and the letter V, the company’s trademark, were used in the ad. Except that the Office of the Ukrainian President thought it was the Russian flag and an allusion to the V and Z, considered to be support for the troops of the Russian Federation

💬 “An elite fashion house, focused on ‘Russian nouveau riche’ chose to publicly toy with symbols of aggression. Luxury smells better when it’s drenched in blood, right?” Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the Presidential Office, wrote
