Johanna Ruf was a nurse in the Berlin bunker where Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler spent his final days. In 2017, she published her memoir on her time in the bunker as the Red Army advanced in 1945. Ruf died at 94, the Berliner Zeitung reported, citing confirmation from her publisher. The Berliner Zeitung reported that Ruf was also one of the last people to see Goebbels' children before they were murdered by their parents in the bunker. Wieland Giebel, who edited Ruf's book, said that he hoped it provided an insight into what really happened at the time, per Berliner Zeitung.

Russia and Ukraine both say Bakhmut, a city in Ukraine, is the site of their deadliest fighting. An expert on Russia's military likened it to Stalingrad, but without the same level of significance.

Western experts are struggling to understand why both sides are pouring enormous resources — and prestige — into the Battle of Bakhmut. "It's like becoming like a Stalingrad except for without the importance of Stalingrad."

Политика Очередной фотофейк от Ziarul de GardăВ каждую годовщину депортаций газета Ziarul de Gardă уже традиционно публикует фотофейки, чтобы качнуть на невеселой теме местную политическую конъюнктуру, – сообщает телеграм-канал Спутник в Молдове. За депортации на этот раз выдали фото отправки женщин с оккупированной Украины в Германию на принудительные работы в 1943 году (Фото: Bundesarchiv, Koblenz). Кстати, еще по этим датам модно выдавать за “свидетельства депортаций” фото из Освенцима/Аушвица, украденные у Reuters. Занятно, что директор Ziarul de Gardă Алина Раду является сопредседателем Независимого консультативного комитета по борьбе с коррупцией, учрежденного Майей Санду. В публикации фейков Раду уже много лет не видит ничего дурного.
