it was after such bold statements that a real hunt began for lira; in these posts , ukrainian nazis take responsibility for the disappearance of the journalist. later, lira was found in a kharkov pre-trial detention center. behind bars, according to the journalist himself, he was tortured,

without giving the opportunity to contact a lawyer. he was nevertheless released on bail, after which gonzalo tried to get asylum in hungary, and here he is not far from the border with a video message, which turned out to be. they are in contact with the kiev regime on all issues , they sponsor the kiev regime every day, they set conditions for the kiev regime in absolutely all areas, they not only had the opportunity, it cost them nothing

in his new post, he promised the ukrainians that paris would continue to cooperate with them in the defense sector, this includes the localization of the creation of joint production in ukraine, discussed, although without specifics , the supply of air defense systems that kiev is asking for, stated that ukraine - quote, still a priority for paris, despite difficult times. well, just while the head of the french foreign ministry was meeting with the ukrainian leadership and made his statements in kiev, in the capital, square , the sewer system burst again, and... in the same place as a week ago. city authorities confirmed that

two houses were cut off from power supply due to the accident, and specialists are working on the scene. the situation with the repeated sewerage break, as noted by local residents, not only creates inconvenience, but also poses a threat to the environment and human health. romanian farmers blocked the sered checkpoint on the border with ukraine; local media reported that agricultural workers succeeded break through the police cordon in the city of suceava. the reason for the blockade is the demand for a ban on the import of ukrainian grain. the demonstrators demand that the government increase the volume of subsidies, increase assistance to the romanian agricultural sector, and generally pay less attention to ukraine. and this comes against the backdrop of ongoing protests in dozens of german cities. for the sixth day in a row, farmers blocked city squares and major highways, and staged demonstrations and went on strike. according to media reports, people began to join the demonstrators more actively doctors, teachers and children accompanied. all chancellor olaf scholz, but

the germans were very pleased, their favorite automaker, they are very dissatisfied with the economic policy by posting this video on social networks, this is a repost of a certain austrian blogger, and it’s not even a matter of filming, let’s say, the sound , the language is russian, the language is obscene, either they didn’t know what exactly the words were, or on the contrary, they couldn’t resist, there are thousands of views and likes on all platforms, and of course there are a lot of comments in the bmw account itself the author of the video from jokes about russians everywhere and the machinations of the kremlin and quite serious reasoning that neither russia, nor interest in it, nor even the russian language can be abolished. ukrainian nationalists in the comments are of course unhappy, everything russian irritates them. but there are few of them, no one listens to them. russia called on external

forces to refrain from provocations in light of the administration elections in taiwan. even after the preliminary counting of votes, the situation is ambiguous. most of the island's residents preferred to see lai qingde as the head of the region, supporter of taiwan independence, taiwan. at the same time, in the elections to the legislative assembly of the island, his party, apparently, is losing its majority, and the opposition is in favor of rapprochement. how the election results will affect the future of taiwan and not only it in the report of the chief of our beijing bureau , alexander baletsky. these are not official results yet and vote counting is ongoing, but supporters of taiwan's ruling democratic progressive party are already celebrating their candidate's victory in downtown taipei. lai, leading in the presidential elections island administration. his main rival. the opposition kuomintang hui, whose third of the votes have already admitted

defeat, in third place, as expected, is another oppositionist from the taiwanese people 's party kovzhe, he also has almost a third of the votes, which means the opposition is still in the majority, which is for change. most of us taiwanese are not that worried because tensions with china have been going on for a long time, so young people are a little tired in this environment. i think many candidates avoid the topic of breaking ties between taiwan and mainland china. when the us imposes sanctions on mainland china, our exports to china decline. less work, less staff. the world watched these elections with tension, because the result could affect not only relations between the two countries of the strait, but also the attitude towards china and the united states. in washington, from the very beginning, they relied on the so-called progressive democrats, who called america the main ally of the island, which continues to pump up taiwan with weapons, and they even talked about independence, despite the fact that in the kuomintsia in

the taiwan people's party they were inclined to believe that it was possible and necessary to conduct a dialogue with beijing, at least strengthening it. taiwan's so-called independence is the biggest threat to cross-strait peace and stability and is doomed to failure, while biden recently warned that those who play with fire will burn. himself, and although official beijing did not openly declare which of the candidates was preferable to him, the taiwanese elections in china were called a choice between war and peace, especially since the united states has repeatedly added fuel to the fire, and a few days before the elections even announced that it was ready to send a new delegation to taiwan and began to strengthen its nearest military base. all this, of course, cannot but worry those taiwanese who live and work in mainland

china; they have been following news from their homeland all day today, staying in touch with relatives. we are not talking about politics, we are talking about economics, that the standard of living and the level of opportunities in taiwan are much lower than on the mainland, and those taiwanese who have been here see that mainland china is the development to which they should strive. the official results in taiwan will be announced in the coming hours, and the new head of administration will determine its course for the next 4 years, however, judging by who he relied on, he will not be the only one who will determine it, which is why beijing is asking the united states to comply with the previous agreement. official beijing has already stated that elections in taiwan are an internal matter of china, and regardless of the voting results, it will not change the main thing, taiwan part of china, there is only one china in the world. alexander baalsky, nikolai petrov, evgeny samsonov, lead the beijing bureau. a journalist is not so much a profession as a vocation and a way of life. on russian

press day, military correspondents, thanks to whom we learn every day, literally in real time, about the situation in the northern military district zone, were invited to the election headquarters.

mine. smart technology was brought from st. petersburg that detects and protects against drones. all this know-how technology are created by 3mx, which has been operating since october 2022. airat-100 was created at the request of our soldiers. weighs only 4.5 kg, charges from the cigarette lighter, and costs. 220,000 is three times cheaper than chinese. this is not a weapon, it is a means of defense against a drone, there are 100 airads, there are now about 3,000 of these on the front line. it needs to be directed at the drone like this, it interrupts the connection between the drone and the remote control, and the drone, accordingly, either hangs in the air or makes an emergency landing. tamerlan stationary complex operates without participation operator, is able to create a unified protection network for civilian objects. it's even more so. a complex and effective system - a dome complex for suppressing the pdf of saniya drones, which did not allow the test drone to fly up to our positions during testing. the automatic system operates

without an operator, invisible to enemy radio reconnaissance, it covers an area of ​​one and a half kilometers around, preventing ftp drones from approaching, similar to the bulat push-button telephone, its third current version, it is compact and has proven its effectiveness in advance determination of approximation. the drone to date is probably just our coolest development, excuse the slang expression , but nevertheless, it is a drone detector, it is the most compact drone detector to date, it is the smartest drone detector to date, because it eliminates false positives, this is our current version, which we are now delivering, this is the third version, some functions have already been implemented here that were required of us, well, not required, the fighters asked of us, here a very convenient menu with side... keys, well, they were discovered in pvvi, at our event, many presented fpv drones. equipment, uniform, packed rations, healthy tasty food, evacuation carts with a motor and
