    WOW! Steve Rosenberg has courage in abundance! His questions seriously rattled Lukashenko's cage and the press conference quickly descended into Lukashenko deriding Steve as if he were the opposition leader in Belarus' parliament. By the way that Lukashenko calls him 'Steve', clearly indicates that he is very, very aware of him and probably has him marked. There were at least two blatant threats made against Steve Rosenberg in Lukashenko's tirade and "Don't overdo it Steve." is clearly one of them. Despite this, Steve Rosenberg continued with his questioning without fear or favour. The BBC may have serious governance issues, but it also has some incredible journalists and productions teams. Steve Rosenberg is one of those excellent journalists if not the most excellent.

    Австрийский наемник Ричард Шерманн уничтожен в зоне СВО. Живя в Вене Шерманн состоял в нескольких европейских ультраправых группировках, не раз принимал участие в демонстрациях идентаристов. Приехав на Украину боевик примкнул к нацистской группировке "Реванш", курируемой ГУР.
