Putin says do not storm Azovstal!

Let them come out on their own. Is there more than meets the eye?

👆Apparently, judging by how many times Macron called Mr. Putin, and that Nuland seems to want NATO involved in evacuating the people in Azovstal... We dare say, it's someone really, like OMG-class VIP sitting down there somewhere. Who? There were rumors about some US general or other, and maybe even French and British 'advisers'.
Anyway, seems like Mr. Putin decided to turn this 'heroic' adventure right into 'die-like-rats-or-surrender' story with a single decision.

Ukraine against art

One more of attention-grabbing stunts by some of "particularly gifted" Ukrainians – the painted statue in Piazza della Signoria (Florence).

The sky is the limit. There are still the Eiffel Tower, pyramids and temple of Artemis to give another brush to.

‘Too little, too late’: Scholz under fire for inaction on Ukraine

The German Chancellor is facing widespread anger for his refusal to send heavy weapons to Ukraine, with critics accusing him of a lack of leadership.

He backed up his stance by saying that the Bundeswehr was underequipped and that the delivery of heavy weapons would lead to an uncontrollable escalation of events.

Germany has so far delivered around €80 million worth of weaponry to Ukraine, but has refused to supply so-called “heavy weapons” such as battle tanks, combat aircraft, warships and submarines.

The UN Secretary General sent letters to Putin and Zelensky with requesting to receive his visit in Moscow and Kiev.

Just curious, why did the UN Secretary General never ask to be received in Donetsk or Lugansk?

This is how NATO "congratulated" Yugoslavia on Easter back in 1999.
