the forces were named by the press secretary of the russian president, dmitry peskov. our country has requested an urgent meeting of the un security council on this topic. meanwhile, in the capital of yemen, tens of thousands of people demonstrated after us and british air raids. protests are taking place in other major cities. according to the west, more than 60 targets were hit during the night. the husetov leadership emphasized that these attacks will not go unanswered, according to a representative of the movement under threat from. there will be all hostile targets on land at sea. guardian analysts predicted that with this attack biden could provoke a large-scale regional war. and despite the fact that in words, the us president wanted to avoid it, and the pentagon hastened to declare that america was not going to send additional forces to the middle east. meanwhile, the united states will have few allies in this confrontation. washington tried to persuade arab countries to join the operation against the houthis, but as the westerners write. media to the us secretary of state

during the recent middle east tour did not managed to enlist the support of regional heavyweights such as saudi arabia, the united arab emirates, qatar and egypt. nato ally italy also refused. oil tankers are beginning to change routes around the red sea. at least four ships changed course after us and british strikes on the houthis. how does this news affect the global oil market? about it. exactly along this route. the blows to yemen pushed quotes up, yesterday they added more than 2%, today they are already more than four. the brand is currently trading above 80 dollars per barrel, but this is far from the limit. and probably the most terrible scenario for the world oil market is if iran.

within the framework of direct clashes with the western coalition, the united states will close the strait of armus, through the strait of armus - this is the exit from the persian gulf, oil from iraq, kuwait, saudi arabia, lng from qatar passes through, about 20 million barrels per day passes there, that is, approximately about 20% of world production in general, and if this artery is blocked for at least a week or two, then this will be a shock for world markets, and we will see prices there reaching $150 per barrel. and the price of gas will be measured in thousands of dollars per thousand cubic meters. there is another less dramatic scenario: if iran does not block the armuz strait, it will instead limit oil exports. about a million barrels per day could leave the market in this way, experts say. then there is a risk of prices rising to $100 per barrel. this will have a huge impact on prices. analysts predict that the consequences may be worse than the crisis of the seventies, but still this is it. only a potential risk

, if the situation takes the path of escalation, the market will have to factor it into prices, and this is not only oil, it is also lng, the export of which from kator to europe goes through the red sea, but at this stage we are not at this point yet : not only oil tankers, but also other commercial vessels come under fire from the houthis. against this background, the second largest container carrier in the world, maersk , has once again postponed its full opening route through the red sea, they did not rule out that its... stable operation may not resume for several more months, merchant ships that travel from europe to asia and back are forced to use more expensive and longer routes around south africa, this is an extra 800 km , although there is an alternative, and this is the northern sea route. the svyatsky canal carries enough, so to speak, large cargo turnover to be felt by all countries, so to speak, after all.

delivery deadlines, that is, and of course we in russia set ourselves the task develop the northern sea route, and of course, it would be quite profitable for us if some of the ships went through the nsr, but so far international companies are choosing, in fact, to bypass africa, overpay, and, in fact, expect longer delivery times for goods . shippers are talking about supply disruptions and rising prices. for example, delivery from china to rotterdam will cost $3,500, an increase over the week of 115%, there is now potential for further growth in rates, because during the covid years the cost of transportation was almost 10 times higher than now. rising transportation costs can affect a variety of sectors of the economy. not

only oil, but also, for example, cars and food products may begin to tremble, and this is fraught with a new round of global inflation. the attacks on... the rights and today's attack by the anglo-american forces on yemen are a vivid example of this: without contacting the united nations, without obtaining the consent of our own congress, which is provided for by american law, another

lawlessness was committed, for which there is no justification. this valentina matvienko made a statement at the award ceremony for the winners of the competition. for better coverage of parliamentary activities of the federation council of the chamber of regions. she called on journalists to help ensure the legitimacy of the presidential elections in march of this year, and also to talk more about how integration into the reunification of regions is going on. this year more than 250 works from 48 regions were presented. the jury included senators and members of the journalists' union. awards were presented not only to professional reporters, but beginners, as well as students from the faculty of journalism... well, how are you with a cold and a report on your nose,

trains are formed from gondola cars. more than 1,800,000 signatures in support of vladimir putin’s self-propulsion were collected throughout the country, about his campaign website reports this. and despite the fact that the number of signature sheets already exceeds the number required to register a candidate, their collection continues in all regions. so. one of the most popular is the regional public reception of united russia. honored teachers, participants in the special military operation, who came home on vacation, also come to express their civic position. volunteers and representatives of the onf help fill out subscription sheets. in the dpr they work, for example, in one of the trade centers of donetsk. among those who have already signed are doctors and young people who participate in the projects of the republic on how to provide primary medical care,

residents of belgorod have begun to be taught this. about 400 people have already completed the courses, governor vyacheslav glodkov announced this. today he is together with the secretary of the general council of united russia , i checked how houses in the city were being restored that had been damaged by shelling. builders were replacing window structures and repairing the roofs of interior spaces. in addition, in in belgorod, it was decided to strengthen the stops. public transport, in order to protect them from shelling, we are starting new enhanced actions to ensure the safety of belgorod residents, we are strengthening bus stops, placing concrete blocks, sandbags, modules that will be, which are specifically designed for the ministry of defense, we will be installing starting tomorrow in locations of belgorod residents, so a large... amount of work is planned, about 400 people have already completed primary training

no sooner had information appeared about the states stopping military assistance to ukraine than from kiev . one-year long-range air and sea-based weapons, including hypersonic aviation missile systems dagger, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles for enterprises of the military-industrial complex of ukraine, engaged in the production, modernization and repair of aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, armored vehicles, launchers, missile systems and artillery systems.

well, captured ukrainian armed forces every time confirm things in the ranks of the ukrainian army and now... exercises, how to act, how to behave there on maps, so, well, we waited, these 20 days, there were no cars, well now in more detail about what is happening on the fronts, here, under the solidarity of the tula paratroopers, the prizrak battalion identified saboteurs and used fragmentation weapons against them grenades hit the ground, in the kharkov region a series

of russian strikes hit the places of temporary deployment of militants, they also hit the... but the military engineers of the assault group of the west group are helping our troops gain a foothold in the kupinsky direction. the fortifications were cleared using trench shells. first, the enemy’s fortifications are penetrated by a cumulative jet, the area is checked for the presence of militants, if everything is clear, assault sappers begin work. in this direction the day before we were successful at least four counterattacks were repelled in the ssu on the donetsk front. russian artillery targeted the militants' firing positions with msta guns, the fire was adjusted from drones, and serious damage was inflicted on ukrainian armed forces units that were trying to gain a foothold in the forest belt. the second important target was the observation post in the industrial zone, and in a week six attacks were repelled in this direction, and the militants lost almost 2,000

people. in the donetsk direction , units of the southern group of troops, with the support of aviation and artillery fire, repelled. five tanks, 20 armored fighting vehicles, including two bradley infantry fighting vehicles, five cossack armored vehicles. 63 vehicles, as well as 14 field artillery pieces. well, the russian ministry of defense also calculated that over the past week , su-25 and su-27 aircraft, a mi-8 helicopter were shot down, 10 weapons warehouses were liquidated, and for the first time information appeared about the destruction

of two meld aircraft guided missiles. denis alekseev. news. british prime minister arisha sunok arrived in kiev today. he promised ukraine further support. in particular, he stated that the british would transfer to ssu the largest batch of drones. in addition, richa sunok signed a bilateral security agreement with zelensky. boris ivanin has all the details. the british prime minister went to ukraine by train. instead of luggage, he brought a heavy parcel to kiev with a team of military advisers. new. a military aid package containing long-range missiles, air defense systems, artillery ammunition, drones. the announcement of 10 downing street is exciting. the uk is already one of ukraine's closest partners, because we recognize it. her safety is ours safety. today, we are going further, increasing our military assistance, delivering thousands of advanced drones , and signing historic new security agreements to give ukraine the assurances it needs

for the long term. the new package contains £2.5 billion worth of weapons, which is more than london spent supporting kiev during the entire ukrainian conflict. this reflects the seriousness of the situation and our determination. i support ukraine, that's why i'm doing my first. milestone visit this year to kyiv. i want to send a signal of support to the ukrainian people. sunak's sudden visit is a frantic attempt to come to zelensky's aid at a time when supplies from the us have completely dried up. we issued the last aid package for which we had funding. and so it is critically important that congress approve the supplemental national security spending request so that we get more funds. the help we provided stopped. but the russian attacks only intensified.

the us cannot find about 60% of the sent assistance, weapons and equipment cannot be identified by serial numbers in databases, the pentagon inspector general discovered, that is , the weapons have left warehouses overseas, has it arrived...

which is 1.69 billion dollars, where did the billion dollars go? they tried to find out in london insider, the journalistic investigation led to the czech republic and slovakia. according to reporters, it is there that immigrants from ukraine are engaged in smuggling weapons and cutting western trenches. with a high degree of probability, the united states itself is involved in this. with the european union. for example, 100,000 shells were intended for the ukrainian armed forces, but they never arrived there. this is only one contract for 35 million dollars, it is not surprising that in the west there is growing dissatisfaction with uncontrolled expenses for the ukrainian conflict, the kremlin summarizes. more and more representatives

of the political establishment are interested in such a fundamental question as where their money, the money of american taxpayers, is spent and whether the astronomical sums that were allocated to the kiev regime over the past year were spent effectively. whether these amounts helped achieve any result, the answer is quite obvious and... many, including those overseas, see this answer. obviously, this will not add to the resolve of the american congress to approve new spending to support the kiev regime. 61 billion dollars are still hanging there for consideration, as the new york times ironically, given the large-scale corruption and arms smuggling in ukraine, more careful accounting is needed there, but in the white house, where they are asking congress for new expenses, they have already admitted their helplessness, check in ukrainian advanced every american projectile or cartridge. boris. will additionally supply ukraine

with long-range missiles and artillery shells. it is reported that the uk today announced the largest single package of defense assistance to ukraine since the start of the war, worth 2.5 billion pounds sterling or 3.19 billion. and it will include more. anti-aircraft equipment, more anti-tank weapons, more missiles, longer range and thousands of artillery shells, as well as the training of thousands more ukrainian military personnel. it is also reported that the security cooperation agreement between london and kiev is valid for 10 years. britain pledged to support ukraine during this period. in russia today they celebrate. prosecutor's day. at all times, this department was one of the few government agencies where people could turn with any of their troubles and problems, from power outages in their apartments to deception

by scammers. but today the priority is still the protection of the social rights of citizens, this was especially noted by the president, congratulating him on professional holiday of veterans of the prosecutor's office. egor grigoriev has all the details. on the walls of the marble hall where the ceremony takes place are portraits of all 32 prosecutors general of tsarist russia. the gallery is opened, of course, by pavel yaguzhinsky; peter the great appointed him the eye of the sovereign, and since then, for the fourth century, the department has been guarding the law and protecting rights. and freedom of citizens. at the festive meeting, representatives of the supervisory department from all over russia, the prosecutor's office for 302 years, for the multifaceted and president vladimir putin thanked the efficient work of all employees. behind every decision, presentation or protest, warning or verification materials, rights are restored, and, what is extremely important, people’s faith in the triumph of law and justice. and this year our citizens

expect so much from you. as before, among the priority tasks is the identification of elimination of violations of the social labor rights of citizens. monitoring the strict observance of legal rights, payments and benefits for participants in a special military operation and their families. works at prosecutors have increased significantly over three centuries, countering extremism, overseeing investigations, compliance with the constitution and implementation of laws since 2022, taking into account the svo, sanctions imposed on russia, breaking unipolar world hegemony. in all areas of supervision, the human rights activities of the prosecutor's office remained dominant. we managed to restore the violated rights of more than one million of our citizens. at the same time , the priority tasks were to fully implement support measures for military personnel located on the line of combat

contact, as well as their members. military prosecutors, employees of a special direction, are in their hands to ensure law and order in the army, protect the rights of our military, supervise compliance with defense orders, but the rights of ordinary citizens are equally important, the prosecutor's office responds to problems in the field of housing and communal services, the resettlement of dilapidated emergency housing, and utility tariffs. an important area is the protection of the rights of entrepreneurs. helped large, low-income and single-parent families cope with life's difficulties. close attention was paid to providing palliative care to young patients, including residents of orphanages and boarding schools. without the help of prosecutors, it is difficult to imagine the work of the legislative branch of government; we are not only talking about control and implementation of adopted laws, but also an expert legal assessment of initiatives. over the past year , state duma deputies sent 18 appeals and parliamentary inquiries to the prosecutor's office, each of which

was addressed. professionalism, responsible attitude to business, these are the characteristics of our employees prosecutor's office, based on your findings, we can adjust laws, we can initiate new ones in order to effectively solve problems, protect the rights of our citizens, the high status of the prosecutor's office is primarily the result of your work and, in many respects, personal merit. on behalf of the president of russia, the government and the federal assembly, the prosecutor's office today presented state and departmental awards with certificates of honor to those who especially distinguished themselves in service and veterans, this is already a good

tradition. egor grigoriev, sergey turuskov, dmitry matrosov, news!
