Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy: The 2025 60 Minutes Interview transcript

Extraordinary day at Feathered Friends black cockatoo conservation experience in Bargo. The birds are free to roam and not limited to the park, they can choose whether to interact with the visiting people, we were pretty lucky. What amazing little chaos dudes.
These attacks have previously been condemned by global leaders and defense chiefs, who attribute the blame directly to Putin.
Approximately 95 percent of the world's data is transmitted via over 500 cables that span the ocean floor. In recent months, these crucial links have been targeted in several attacks.
They added: "Subsea cable security must be a cornerstone of broader infrastructure protection efforts. By acting now, we can safeguard the networks that underpin our shared future." Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin threatens "worldwide blackouts" as NATO issues a chilling warning.
In their letter, they stated: "The repercussions of damage to subsea cables extend far beyond Europe, potentially affecting global internet and power infrastructure, international communications, financial transactions and critical services worldwide."
Executives from companies such as Vodafone, Orange, and Telefonica have penned an open letter to the UK, EU, and NATO, warning that Russia could easily destroy or disrupt the "defenseless" cables following a series of attacks.
NATO is concerned that the Kremlin could unleash a new weapon against the world, causing "worldwide blackouts" by sabotaging undersea cables with its "shadow fleet".

I estimate the odds it was luck alone.
1 in 4,484.
And the payout amount?
Over 1 in 10 million.

‼️ Russia: “Inflation in Russia in March amounted to 0.65%, annual inflation accelerated to 10.34%”
Once again, “official” inflation is being manipulated. Actual inflation is likely much higher than that.

Economics might seem -- from the outside -- like it's about competition. But really it's about creating the miracle of cooperation, where folks from all around the world enrich your day in a million tiny ways. It's that beauty that I'm worried about losing.
