1/20. Democracy is precious and exceptional.

Чи ви коли-небудь чули, як хтось посилається на "кодекс честі самураїв", або, прости господи, "шлях самурая"? Ця фраза настільки міцно вплелася в асоціативний ряд багатьох іноземців, що буквально за декілька десятиліть стала нерозривно поєднуватися з національною ідеєю японців.

Харківський інноваційний термінал. Щойно в нього влучила ракета. Є загиблі та поранені, зокрема важкі. У них не було шансу встигнути добігти до укриття, бо сирени прозвучали за секунди до. Наразі всім постраждалим надається медична допомога, ми на звʼязку з лікарнями та сімʼями постраждалих. Та це, звісно, не поверне наших людей. Співчуваємо — кожному. Завтра Нова пошта оголошує день трауру. Ми будемо працювати та вшановувати кожного загиблого героя Нової пошти. Кожного загиблого в цій війні.

Civil journalist Irina Danilovich started a dry hunger strike in occupied Crimea. She demands medical treatment in detention. The woman almost lost her hearing, constantly has headaches and problems with coordination of movements. She compares the pain in her head to torture.

People who survive Russian captivity always describe inhuman conditions during their detention. Only such conditions and the absence of medical help have to be treated as torture. It’s the same person Max Kolesnikov before and after Russian captivity. He was released yesterday.
