🥔✈️ Belarus will be able to buy spare parts and Boeing aircraft. The CEO of Belavia said that the US has lifted sanctions on the airline.

A recent ad on consent produced by the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre is one of a number of 'warning signs' regarding the use of public money by external organisations, said Simon Harris jrnl.ie/7210067
