Harry Nilsson (Brooklyn (New York), 15 juni 1941 – Agoura Hills (Californië), 15 januari 1994) was een Amerikaans componist, pianist, zanger en gitarist. Bijna al zijn werk werd onder de naam Nilsson uitgegeven. Aan het eind van de jaren zestig vertolkte hij met succes het liedje "Everybody's Talkin'" en in 1971 brak hij door met het album Nilsson Schmilsson. In de avonduren werkte hij bij een bank en overdag schreef Nilsson liedjes voor muziekuitgevers. Het lukte hem aanvankelijk niet om als artiest bekend te raken. Zijn composities werden echter wel opgenomen door bekende muziekgroepen en artiesten, onder wie The Monkees, The Yardbirds, Lulu en Blood, Sweat & Tears. Hij schreef tevens drie liedjes voor Phil Spector, die gespeeld werden door The Ronettes en het Modern Folk Quartet. In 1966 kwam een compilatie van zijn eerste werk uit met als titel Spotlight on Nilsson. https://hvdommelen.nl/n/Nilsson.html
Marco Setaccioli wrote that a video showed the attack that took place the previous evening in Pisochyn, in the suburbs of Kharkiv, where, according to his post, Russian forces struck a supermarket while it was open. He reported that three people had died — a 16-year-old boy, a 19-year-old girl, and a 51-year-old woman — and that another 25 were injured, including two girls aged 13 and 9. Setaccioli added that the store was located in a densely populated residential area, near multi-story buildings and shops. Citing the prosecutor's office, he indicated that the strike occurred around 7:25 PM. In commenting on the attack, he claimed that Kremlin supporters, even outside Russia, were encouraging Moscow to hope that support for those fighting for their freedom would diminish. He accused them of being complicit in the victims' plight and wrote that, after a possible collapse of Moscow, they would not be able to escape the shame of having supported what he called the 21st-century Reich. #Ucraina #Kharkiv #Guerra (translated)

Renate Holzeisen wrote that Trump had in fact politically sidelined Volodymyr Zelensky, a step that, according to her, should have been taken much earlier. She argued that the war had caused the deaths of many young people, destroyed families, made Ukraine lose territories and heritage, and caused costs and economic damage to European citizens. She also stated that the European supporters of continuing the conflict would have wanted to prolong it, while its outcome would have shown, in her opinion, the consequences of the irresponsible use of Ukraine for geopolitical plans that she had described as a declaration of war against Russia from the very beginning. #Ucraina #Guerra #Politica (translated)
