Морозов розповів, що працював із гуртом протягом восьми років. За цей час у них сформувалися теплі стосунки, і навіть після завершення співпраці вони підтримують зв’язок.

Наразі українське суспільство стикається з тиском щодо можливих поступок у питанні територій, хоча розсудливі люди розуміють, що повернути всі захоплені регіони за короткий період не вдасться. Про це висловив свою думку військовослужбовець Станіслав Бунятов, відомий під позивним "Осман". Він вважає, що вже сьогодні варто готуватись до наступної війни.

Glencore, a leading miner on the FTSE 100, has chosen to keep its stock market listing in London, opting not to shift to a U.S. exchange—a move that supports the London Stock Exchange. The company, which is based in Switzerland, concluded after a formal assessment that relocating its listing to a market like New York would not deliver sufficient benefits to its shareholders. In the first half of 2025, Glencore posted a net loss of $655 million (£492 million), nearly tripling its $233 million

WASHINGTON, Aug 1 (Reuters) - On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he had directed the deployment of two nuclear submarines to select regions.

Earlier this year, Keir Starmer confirmed plans to lower the aid budget from 0.5% to 0.3% of the UK's national income, in order to allocate more resources to defence.
