Our friend Ihor died. He's the owner of the already iconic Kazka bar in Kharkiv. It is difficult to describe how great a loss this is for everyone, not only his family and friends, but also for the music community as a whole. His contribution to the cultural life of Kharkiv is difficult to overestimate. Having opened a year after the start of a full-scale ruzzist invasion, the bar became a mecca for heavy music. Almost all of the hardcore, punk, and metal concerts in the city took place exactly here during this time, giving locals an opportunity to escape from the gloomy reality and opening the doors to young and old bands from all over the country and even few brave ones from abroad.
Despite the bar's financial difficulties, Ihor continued this "business", as there was no alternative to such an institution. He often said, "maybe I am a naive fool, but I believe that the city needs such a place." Even after being drafted into the army, he coordinated the work of the bar and made plans for the future to continue making Kharkiv brighter. We have lost a music enthusiast, musician, a kind and responsible person, reliable partner. The future of the bar is currently uncertain. Eternal memory, Ihor! Glory to the Hero! 💔

Sebi said data, emails and other documents are being retrieved from the seized devices and detailed investigation is in progress. Investors took profits on Friday while they could ahead of the weekend, explained Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research. Saturday and Sunday could easily bring unfortunate news on the war front—and traders would rather be able to sell any recent winnings at Friday’s earlier prices than wait for a potentially lower price at Monday’s open. Given the pro-privacy stance of the platform, it’s taken as a given that it’ll be used for a number of reasons, not all of them good. And Telegram has been attached to a fair few scandals related to terrorism, sexual exploitation and crime. Back in 2015, Vox described Telegram as “ISIS’ app of choice,” saying that the platform’s real use is the ability to use channels to distribute material to large groups at once. Telegram has acted to remove public channels affiliated with terrorism, but Pavel Durov reiterated that he had no business snooping on private conversations. The company maintains that it cannot act against individual or group chats, which are “private amongst their participants,” but it will respond to requests in relation to sticker sets, channels and bots which are publicly available. During the invasion of Ukraine, Pavel Durov has wrestled with this issue a lot more prominently than he has before. Channels like Donbass Insider and Bellum Acta, as reported by Foreign Policy, started pumping out pro-Russian propaganda as the invasion began. So much so that the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council issued a statement labeling which accounts are Russian-backed. Ukrainian officials, in potential violation of the Geneva Convention, have shared imagery of dead and captured Russian soldiers on the platform. Official government accounts have also spread fake fact checks. An official Twitter account for the Russia diplomatic mission in Geneva shared a fake debunking video claiming without evidence that "Western and Ukrainian media are creating thousands of fake news on Russia every day." The video, which has amassed almost 30,000 views, offered a "how-to" spot misinformation.
