A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

A HISTORIC MILESTONE: For the first time, solar power generated more electricity globally than nuclear, making it the world’s 4th largest power source.

In just 5 years, solar output nearly tripled—from 79 TWh (Apr 2020) to 233 TWh (Apr 2025). The energy transition is speeding up.

Escalation during a war is normal and not inherently bad. You escalate to win. It would be absolutely appropriate for Ukraine's friends to deliver missiles so Ukraine can escalate and push Russia on the defensive.
⚡️Day after Russia kills civilians in Sumy, Kremlin claims deliveries of Taurus missiles will lead to escalation.
