Sharing a special memory from 2015 - serenading New York with the remarkable Bill Charlap, performing "The Way You Look Tonight." A night to remember! 🎹🎤
In today's #vatniksoup I'll be talking about genocide, children and national trauma. Throughout the 20th century, both in the Soviet Union and in Russia children have been suffering because of bad politics and structural negligence & now the kidnapped children face the same.

Minute of silence to pay tribute to the victims of war in Ukraine.
Happening now on Rustaveli outside the parliament where the drafts on foreign agents are being discussed.
Eines der schlimmsten Kriegsverbrechen der Russen in der Ukraine - die Verschleppung zehntausender Kinder, die zum Teil zwangsadoptiert werden. Ein Sieg über Russland kann nur bedeuten: Die Verantwortlichen vor internationale Gerichten zu stellen!
So in the last hour we have had reports of
-14 Leopard 2A4 from Poland getting the green light
-14 Leopard 2A6 from Germany to be donated
-8 Leopard 2A4 from Norway to be donated
-30-50 Abrams from the USA to be donated
And more to likely follow soon.
One of the apartments bombed in Dnipro. A girl's birthday. Happy family. Incidentally they are speaking Russian, since Dnipro is mainly a Russian speaking city. Russia is a terrorist state.
Horrifying images from Dnipro. The girl sits in her destroyed apartment on the fifth floor waiting for help. We will never forgive #StopRussia#StandWithUkraine

Meeting with human rights defenders in underground shelter in Kyiv as missiles strike & air raid sirens sound again. Unbelievable that this is happening almost daily in #Ukraine. This must not become a new normal.
Russian invasion of Finland 1939. Bombing of cities to terrorise, targeting hospitals and medical convoys, destroying churches, museums. Just like 21st century.
The doc is from the UN Geneva archives.
