🇺🇸 Делегация США во главе с помощником госсекретаря по делам Ближнего Востока Барбарой Лиф провела переговоры в Дамаске с лидером движения «Хайят Тахрир аш-Шам» (ХТШ, террористическая группировка, запрещенная в России) Ахмадом аш-Шараа (Абу Мухаммадом аль-Джулани).
Пишут, что встреча с аль-Шараа была «хорошей и продуктивной». Главным ее итогом стало обязательство аш-Шараа «не позволять террористическим группировкам действовать в Сирии и угрожать США или соседним странам».
Ну и бонусом США отменили награду в $10 млн за голову аш-Шараа.

Markets continued to grapple with the economic and corporate earnings implications relating to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. “We have a ton of uncertainty right now,” said Stephanie Link, chief investment strategist and portfolio manager at Hightower Advisors. “We’re dealing with a war, we’re dealing with inflation. We don’t know what it means to earnings.” At this point, however, Durov had already been working on Telegram with his brother, and further planned a mobile-first social network with an explicit focus on anti-censorship. Later in April, he told TechCrunch that he had left Russia and had “no plans to go back,” saying that the nation was currently “incompatible with internet business at the moment.” He added later that he was looking for a country that matched his libertarian ideals to base his next startup. Telegram, which does little policing of its content, has also became a hub for Russian propaganda and misinformation. Many pro-Kremlin channels have become popular, alongside accounts of journalists and other independent observers. Pavel Durov, Telegram's CEO, is known as "the Russian Mark Zuckerberg," for co-founding VKontakte, which is Russian for "in touch," a Facebook imitator that became the country's most popular social networking site. The next bit isn’t clear, but Durov reportedly claimed that his resignation, dated March 21st, was an April Fools’ prank. TechCrunch implies that it was a matter of principle, but it’s hard to be clear on the wheres, whos and whys. Similarly, on April 17th, the Moscow Times quoted Durov as saying that he quit the company after being pressured to reveal account details about Ukrainians protesting the then-president Viktor Yanukovych.
