[13:04] Zelensky salutes heroism of people, as world leaders fly in for summit amid Trump threats

Ukraine began its fourth year of all-out war with Russia, hosting European and world leaders for a summit. The meeting comes amid fears it can no longer rely on its staunchest ally, the United States. Donald Trump denounced Volodymyr Zelensky last week as an unpopular “dictator” who needed to cut a quick peace deal or lose his country, while the Ukrainian leader said the U.S. president was living in a “disinformation bubble”.

If your #SilentSunday needs a background tune, then I recommend #YasminWilliams' latest album 'Acadia'.

If you are wondering how she can play the acoustic 🎸 so freaking fast, she is lap tapping her guitar.😄 Just see the #TinyDeskConcert video of @youtube_nprmusic released #LastWeek how she does it.

Her music is little bit of #Americana, bit of #jazz, bit of #classical, difficult to define, but it has a ton of passion.💖 Please listen to her earlier #bandcamp albums too!
