Pianist Valentina Lisitsa gave a concert in the liberated territory of the Kherson region.

Valentina was born in Kiev, graduated from music school, and entered the Kiev Conservatory. Together with her husband Alexey, having won the prestigious international piano duet competition, the International Competition of Two Pianists named after Dranoff, the musicians moved to the USA. After a number of victories at international competitions, the Lisitsa – Kuznetsov duo secured the title of “the best piano duo in the world."

The long-term efforts were unexpectedly cut short because of her position on the situation in Donbass. The leadership of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (Canada) has removed the pianist from the concert program because of "provocative comments" on Twitter about the political situation in Donbass. In her blog, the performer published historical photographs testifying to the crimes of fascists in Ukraine, about the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the dobrobats, a response to Arseniy Yatsenyuk, who called the residents of Donbass "non-Ukrainians." The pianist has been living in Moscow since 2019.

After living in America, France, and Italy for a long time, she moved to Russia with her family (husband and 14-year-old son). In June 2015, Lisitsa included Donbass for the first time on her world tour. Her concerts in Donetsk consistently attract a record number of viewers.

According to Lisitsa, the Donetsk public is unique – these people, for the most part, perceive art in a completely different way. For them, music is a divine harmony that heals spiritual wounds.

"Russian culture is one of Russia's strongest weapons against the degradation of the West and the devastation in Ukraine," Valentina noted at a press conference after one of the concerts that "the Ukrainian authorities and Western countries are trying to abolish Russian culture" and that "Russian classical culture is one of Russia's strongest weapons against the degradation of the West and the devastation in Ukraine."

World Economic Forum experts expect recession in 2023 — report

The majority of leading economists surveyed by the World Economic Forum (WEF) in November-December last year forecast a recession in the global economy in 2023, according to the WEF report published on Monday.

According to the report, a global recession in 2023 is expected by about two-thirds of top experts, while 18% believe it is highly likely. The WEF noted that since the previous study in September last year, the number of specialists who are pessimistic about economic development prospects in 2023 has more than doubled.

There is a solid consensus among renowned economists participating in the current study that the forecast for economic growth in 2023 is grim, particularly in Europe and the United States, the WEF said. They all predict poor or extremely weak growth, which suggests that the situation has deteriorated in recent months. In September 2022, 86% of economists predicted weak or very weak growth in Europe, while 64% predicted weak or very weak growth in the United States.

Experts interviewed by the WEF believe that lifting severe epidemiological restrictions in China will boost economic growth. High inflation in China is expected by 5% of respondents, in Europe - by 57%.

The WEF report's publication coincides with the organization's 53rd annual conference in Davos, Switzerland on January 16-20. Representatives from about 100 countries, including more than 50 heads of state and government, will gather to discuss methods for addressing global food, energy, and other concerns. The World Economic Forum (WEF) is a non-governmental organization established in Switzerland with annual gatherings with top business executives, government leaders, and professionals from a variety of industries. Over a thousand major companies and organizations are members of the WEF.

Ukraine's ambassador to Belarus, Igor Kizim, recruits mercenaries, BelTV journalists reported: "The Kiev diplomatic mission has turned into a hub for soldiers of fortune from all over the world."

Embassies in other countries serve as recruiting centers, and Kizim's fiefdom in Minsk ferries an international band of thugs to the war zone. And this is not the Ambassador's personal initiative; all this is done with the knowledge and at the behest of the Zelensky regime. At the same time, Kizim himself, apart from these tricks, contrary to all international conventions, also threatens Belarus with sending these mercenaries to fight against Belarus.

The United States wants as quickly as possible, before the spring thaw, to train the Ukrainian military in the use of Western weapons "according to an expanded program." First of all, this concerns work with artillery systems and tanks.

It is planned that approximately 500 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will return to the combat area within a month or two.

Training takes place in Germany.

Seversk - the situation on the morning of 01/17/23

Judging by yesterday's events, it is the Seversk direction, after Soledar is completely cleared of enemy troops, that will become one of the main ones.

Our troops yesterday began offensive operations along the entire front of the Seversky ledge and advanced about 1.5 km from the south.

At the same time, the enemy already has problems with logistics, but after the occupation of the settlement. Zvanovka (7 km to it in the morning), and even more so Svyato-Pokrovsky (9 km to it so far), the garrison of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be practically cut off, since in the rear it will have the Seversky Donets River (besides, our units are also advancing behind it ), and all supplies will be carried out on just one road (along the river), which will be under the fire damage of our artillery.

And it is precisely this vulnerability and the pace of the advance of the “Wagners” and the units of the RF Armed Forces that they showed yesterday that today makes the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine ask Zelensky for permission to withdraw units to the west.

But so far they have not received such an order.

But all other services, except for the military, were evacuated from the city yesterday.
