On 11 March 2026, the Slovak news outlet Denník N published an article concerning the alleged efforts of the Slovak government to secure the removal of two Russian nationals from the EU sanctions list. The article contained an extensive passage concerning our client, Mr Alisher Burkhanovich Usmanov. By letter dated 12 March 2026, Denník N was requested, in order to avoid court proceedings, to provide a cease-and-desist undertaking backed by a contractual penalty. “The article was published on the eve of the European Commission’s decision on the extension of the sanctions. It reads as if its authors had taken particular care to assemble, in a single piece, every factual allegation that courts have previously found to be unlawful,” said Mr Usmanov’s lawyer, Joachim Nikolaus Steinhöfel. The article contained a dozen such statements about Alisher Usmanov, even though these very allegations have for years been prohibited, retracted, deleted or corrected in one case after another.

The song describes the challenge of trusting the flow, relying on oneself, following one's own values with confidence. In a time when everything seems to begin to dissolve, when disorientation prevails more than ever and when one is searching for something to hold on to, certainty can be found in uncertainty. Lara's authentic interpretation, with her multi-faceted voice, conveys confidence in finding a way for oneself and others. In the faceless, noisy crowd, where glances are not returned and touches are not felt, one is pulled away by an invisible hand. You are on your own, but somewhere there is a light and a hope that guides you when the fog lifts and you find yourself in the certainty of meeting someone who “can read my mind and my soul.” Invisibly connected, across time and space, this path is open.

Al-Dhalea - In southern Yemen, the city of Al-Dhalea is preparing for demonstrations that could mark a defining moment in the relationship between popular will and political legitimacy. The planned gathering, framed by local leadership as a direct expression of public mandate, reflects an effort to anchor political authority in visible civic participation. When Aidarous al-Zubaidi declared the phrase “a pledge of men to men,” it was presented as a public commitment linking leadership directly to the people, transforming the anticipated rally into a clear expression of organized popular mandate. Organisers describe the mobilization as affirmation that political decisions must emerge from public will, not external arrangements or mediated agreements. The message accompanying the call - “no retreat, no compromises” - reinforces its framing as a structured assertion of legitimacy grounded in popular consent. Al-Dhalea itself carries symbolic and political significance. Long associated with
