💬“Any contact with Russians at all is seen to be a blasphemy against the full-throated support of the regime in Kiev. And in fact, all avenues for diplomacy have been effectively shut down at this point. Russia is even talking about that it doesn't even need diplomats in Europe anymore, it's pointless. And it's talking about drastically stepping down its diplomatic presence because their lives are really just in threat at this point due to abuse and death threats and the harassment they're getting from European governments. So yeah, there's no rainbow anywhere in sight for the end of this conflict.” Mark Sleboda, international affairs and security analyst said.

⚖️ Kevin Spacey found not liable in sex abuse suit brought by Anthony Rapp

In a victory for Kevin Spacey, a New York jury on Thursday found the actor not liable for battery on allegations he picked up fellow artist Anthony Rapp and briefly laid on top of him in a bed after a party in 1986. Rapp, who stars in the series "Star Trek: Discovery," was claiming damages of $40 million.

Jurors deliberated for about an hour, and concluded Rapp did not prove that Spacey “touched a sexual or intimate part” of his body. Judge Lewis Kaplan formally dismissed the case. Attorneys seated on either side of Spacey immediately put their hands on his back when the verdict was read.

At the time of the accusations, he came out publicly as gay for the first time, which he said led to accusations that he was "trying to change the subject, or trying to deflect."

‼️ Amazon faces $1B class action lawsuit in the UK over Buy Box

The company is facing a $1 billion class action lawsuit in the UK over allegations it uses an algorithm to favor its own products and those of third-party sellers who use its storage and delivery services.

The lawsuit will focus primarily on Amazon’s “Buy Box” feature, a coveted spot that makes items more visible to shoppers and thereby lead to more sales for merchants listed there. The box features a product from a single seller, though many more might offer the same item.

Amazon said the claim was “without merit” and noted the company has focused on supporting the 85,000 businesses that sell their products on its UK marketplace. It also said more than half of sales of physical products on that marketplace come from third-party sellers. Last year, regulators in Italy fined the company 1.13 billion euros ($1.3 billion), accusing it of stifling competition over similar concerns.

‼️ Two Dead, 10 Injured in Kiev's Attack on Civilian Crossing in Kherson Region - Official

Kherson region government head Sergey Eliseev said on Friday that two people were killed, and ten others were injured, including children and journalists, in Ukraine's missile attack on a civilian crossing of the Dnepr river in the Kherson region.

"As a result of the missile attack, unfortunately, we have casualties and deaths. At the moment, there are ten people wounded and two dead, this is preliminary data, the final results will be summarized later, rescue services are now working at the site," Eliseev told journalists.

The official added that "the nature of the wounds shows that HIMARS cluster munitions, filled with shrapnel elements for a greater striking effect, have been used."

"I am sure that the Kiev regime knew that the crossing was used exclusively by civilians... Minors were wounded, and journalists are among the victims," Eliseev said.
