A few days ago the topic of Germanic ancient deities came up. Buri, licked out by Auðumbla herself, and his son Bor, father of Odin, Vili and Ve. Those old Gods are barely mentioned in the sources and don’t interact with the younger generations of Gods (Odin’s children and grandkids e.g. Thor and Magni). They don’t take part in major events like Vanir-Aesir war or Ragnarok, and judging from archaeological and textual data, they were not worshipped by the people (no idols, no temples).

The Security Service of Ukraine said in a tweet that it was able to effectively target Russian convoys near Kyiv because of messages sent to an official Telegram bot account called "STOP Russian War." In 2014, Pavel Durov fled the country after allies of the Kremlin took control of the social networking site most know just as VK. Russia's intelligence agency had asked Durov to turn over the data of anti-Kremlin protesters. Durov refused to do so. For Oleksandra Tsekhanovska, head of the Hybrid Warfare Analytical Group at the Kyiv-based Ukraine Crisis Media Center, the effects are both near- and far-reaching. The last couple days have exemplified that uncertainty. On Thursday, news emerged that talks in Turkey between the Russia and Ukraine yielded no positive result. But on Friday, Reuters reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin said there had been some “positive shifts” in talks between the two sides. Crude oil prices edged higher after tumbling on Thursday, when U.S. West Texas intermediate slid back below $110 per barrel after topping as much as $130 a barrel in recent sessions. Still, gas prices at the pump rose to fresh highs.
