Yesterday was Holodomor Memorial Day. And I wanted to post something about it, but couldn't force myself. From all the events throughout the history when Russia tried to wipe out the whole Ukrainian nation, Holodomor remains for me as one of the most horrific, cruel and inhumane.

People waiting for aid among dozens reported killed by Israeli forces in Gaza โ Middle East crisis live
Gaza civil defence said Israeli forces killed at least 30 people on Friday Talks aimed at securing a ceasefire in Gaza are stalling over the extent of Israeli forcesโ withdrawal from the Palestinian territory, Palestinian and Israeli sources familiar with the negotiations in Doha told Reuters and Agence France-Presse (AFP). The sources said the indirect talks over a US proposal for a 60-day ceasefire are expected to continue despite the latest obstacles. Delegations from both sides began discussions in Qatar last Sunday to try to agree on a temporary halt to the 21-month conflict sparked by Hamasโs deadly attack on Israel on 7 October 2023. The negotiations in Doha are facing a setback and complex difficulties due to Israelโs insistence, as of Friday, on presenting a map of withdrawal, which is actually a map of redeployment and repositioning of the Israeli army rather than a genuine withdrawal. Turkey has won. Eighty-six million citizens have won. We know what we are doing. Nobody needs to worry or ask questions. We are doing all this for Turkey, for our future. Continue reading...
