[Just. Just?] one observer at the center of my data point on 20240606

... though there be "no" [with an infinity already contained within that word] reason that there ... should be, may be ...

Let that I may simply see myself rewriting, or rather retyping with my twisting old hand: a news report from another moment of 20240606:

Ukrainian Presidcent Volodymur Zelensky arrived at Thursday's International ceremony

... to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day, to a Standing Ovation and a Rousing Applause.

Zelensky's presence - and Russian leader Vladimir Putin's absence, despite Soviet Russia's key role in winning the war in Europe - is highly symbolic given how the war in Ukraine is casting a shadow over the day's events.

Several world leaders have already used their speeches to cast parallels between Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the aggression of Nazi Germany that sparked World War II.
