๐งต Unconfirmed rumors spreading in Russian media claim Russian delegation leader Medinsky voiced the following demands to Ukraine in Istanbul:
1. Neutral status like Austria (no foreign troops/WMDs)
2. No war reparations from either side
3. Rights for Russian speakers & end to โnationalist propagandaโ
4. Recognition of Russiaโs claims to Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia & Crimea
5. Immediate ceasefire tied to Ukrainian withdrawal from these regions

L'immagine mostra una scultura moderna in ferro, situata in un paesaggio montano. La scultura, che rappresenta una figura umana, รจ composta da fili di ferro intrecciati, creando una texture intricata. La figura รจ alta e slanciata, con un capo sferico che sembra un'immagine astratta. La scultura รจ posizionata su un basamento di pietra, e un pannello informativo รจ posto accanto a essa, forse con dettagli sulla sua creazione o significato.
In primo piano, la scultura domina la scena, con il suo colore marrone scuro che si fonde con l'ambiente circostante. Sullo sfondo, si puรฒ vedere un paesaggio montano con alberi verdi e una piccola cittร con case tradizionali. Le montagne imponenti e le nuvole bianche nel cielo blu aggiungono un senso di grandezza e bellezza naturale. La scena รจ serena e suggestiva, con una combinazione di arte moderna e paesaggio naturale.

More photos from my visit to the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge last week. When I went down I was primarily looking for migratory shorebirds, like the Caspian Tern from the prior post, but there were plenty of others.
(Cross-posted from my site, where you can see the other photos: andrewflenniken.com/2025/05/16โฆ)
I typically get down to the Refuge once or twice a year, but this was the first time I'd arrived at low tide and stayed long enough for the tide to come all the way in. It's fascinating watching the little pools in the mud flat grow and connect until, before you realize it, it's no longer a mud flat, it's a little bay.
