i already said, there are certain results, but i understand, i know that it is necessary to continue these efforts, this is what we are doing, and i wanted to discuss with you the details of this work, the roar of explosions was heard at night by residents of several regions of ukraine, messages in in particular, they came from nikolaev in the south of the country, local publications do not provide details, there is information about explosions in odessa, while the townspeople... write on the internet that they did not noticed air defense work. an air alert was declared in ten regions of ukraine, as well as in the territories of the zaporozhye and kherson regions still controlled by the kiev regime. in orenburg today they say goodbye to the crew of the il-76 plane, shot down in the sky over the belgorod region. the funeral liturgy for the military was held in the city church of st. epimen of ugrezh. the service was led by metropolitan peter of orenburg. there will also be a ceremony with participation in the city.

the imagination of the west; on the eve of the publication, wol street journal announced that the publication was supposedly planned for that night, and the world community, without sleeping a wink, monitored the journalist’s website and social networks, increasing the traffic. the interview has not yet been released, but many have already formed their opinion about it. i haven’t read the principle, but i condemn it; it was not only european officials who decided to adhere to it, who managed to threaten the independent journalist with sanctions. but also colleagues in the profession, but still in the fight for the inconvenient truth, tucker mostly expresses support, calling on legislators to remember freedom of speech and how important it is for modern society. all those who attack him are small , timid cats, these are people who have no idea have what they stand for because they don't stand for anything, they are afraid of the truth, the truth will give you freedom, and god bless you, tucker. ordered, the american

journalist was accused of manipulating socially significant information and was added to the list of enemies of the country. however, the kiev regime has other concerns; european guests have arrived, again with bad news. the head of european diplomacy , jose borel, said that the european union, unfortunately, cannot magically give kiev shells. our armed forces have emptied their supplies to give ammunition that they had in their warehouses to you. our armed forces are delaying the replenishment of our own. treasures to fill yours first. western colleagues have repeatedly explained to zelensky that they do not have magic. earlier, the american government said that washington does not have a magic pot of money, and they were right, no one really has any money. german chancellor olaf scholz indicated in his article that kiev may soon

face a serious shortage of weapons, because financial capabilities are already exhausted. and a new bill presented in the states to allocate money to ukraine did not pass the vote and caused intense criticism. no member of congress should support sending another $60 billion to ukraine, which exceeds the entire budget of the us marine corps. nevertheless, the west does not cease to give hope to kiev, and kiev does not cease to harbor illusions. in brussels, they are again discussing ukraine’s small steps towards joining nato, strengthening the country’s defense capability and financial support, but they delicately add that everything is in in the hands of the ukrainian government, but we don’t decide anything. from the perspective of the united states, we are going to continue to support both the ukrainian government and the ukrainian military in their efforts to continue to make the progress that the secretary general has spoken about, but we will leave personal decisions to the ukrainians, it is not up to us to decide from washington or from here in brussels. however,

the west is ready to save on shells, but apparently not on the ukrainians. in the country the day before, the law of mobilization was adopted for the first time, so that there would be how to compensate for the lack of ammunition. victoria. lead. now there is economic news, maria filipova comes to see me. mash, good morning, rosstat confirmed that russia’s gdp at the end of last year was higher than many forecasts, due to what? roma, good morning, the development of industry and construction influenced the development and details below. russia's gdp grew by 3.6% at the end of last year, exceeding most forecasts. the data was published by rustat. this is a record figure in recent decades, with the exception of post-covid restorative. positive macrostatistics surprised even western experts, and russian respondents to the central bank significantly improved their forecast for gdp growth for this year, now the expected rate

exceeds 1.5%. st. petersburg bank was able to agree on a partial release of the russians’ assets; counterparties from friendly countries were willing to cooperate, although the amount was still limited. i remember about 16 million dollars out of 3 billion invested in foreign securities, funds were unblocked in us dollars, yuan, hong kong dollars and tenge. at the same time return them brokers will be in ruble equivalent. the us senate rejected a bill to finance ukraine in one package with funds for other purposes. republicans opposed the allocation of money to solve the migration crisis on the border with mexico in conjunction with the sponsorship of the kiev regime. so. so far can only count on european money, although such assistance is much more difficult for brussels? in europe they are collecting money for ukraine and, in general, tearing it away from themselves - all those protests that we see

now in the european union, germany, france, there are demands from agricultural producers, from transport workers, from many others, they... would be covered with this money that is sent to ukraine, such a difficult situation for the europeans themselves. in january, the czech republic significantly increased purchases of russian pipeline gas, their share in total imports in the first month of the year reached 62, which is 2/3 of everything purchased by the republic of sarya, local media report. the statistics are admittedly shocking, and prague claims to have eliminated addiction from russian gas, while in november it began to actively purchase it again. is rapidly increasing its share in total imports. the iraqi authorities invited gazprom to participate in the development of a large oil field in the south of the country. production there began back in 2009; total reserves are estimated at 4 billion barrels. the development project also involves the construction

the game score is 3:0. spartak failed in front of the lukoel management and many sports stars, including even the legendary one. konikhova. samoskvich's thirteen-million-dollar newcomer galde made his debut in this game, but the audience never saw his first goal for the new club. rostov was simply stronger, so chernov sent the first ball into the net after an error by the red-and-white goalkeeper maksimenko, who in the next yuzhan attack made a positional error, allowing komlichenko to throw the ball over his collar. after the break, spartak's captain appeared on the field jack for the first time since october 4th. but rostov scored the third goal. shchetinin hit a great shot into the top corner... the finalists of the asian cup have been determined; the hosts of the tournament, the kator team, will play jordan in the final. in the semi-final match, the qataris were able to beat the iranian team with a score of 3:2. it all started with a beautiful goal from serdar azmun in the fourth minute of the match, the former zenit ford shot through himself after a series of rebounds. everything was decided by quatre's goal in the eighty-second minute of the game,

of the finnish battalion. in the 19th century, it was part of the russian imperial army, and nicholas i awarded the battalion a special insignia. participation in the suppression of the polish rebellion and the capture of warsaw, a letter was attached to the reproduction, in it says that this shaak is intended to remind of the brotherhood in arms of the peoples of russia and finland, this period, to put it mildly, of difficult relations between moscow and helsinki. the topic will be continued by zenaida kurbatova. the third finnish rifle battalion received the st. george's banner of the life guard in 1831 for the storming of warsaw. it was internal politics. poland and finland were part of the russian empire. created from ethnic finns, well, there were officers, both finns, and swedish officers, and finnish ones, which was created in 1818, which valiantly fought on the side of the russian empire in

all wars to suppress internal unrest, when the polish uprising of 1830-31 broke out, this lepguard, finnish battalion, the finns then called them the young guard, they participated in the suppression in st. petersburg , in the artillery museum there is an exhibition dedicated to lastly. the swedish war and how suomi became part of the russian empire. this war began on february 9, 1808. the swedes surrendered and opened the gates of the sviboborg fortress, after russian troops besieged it for two months. here is a medal evidence of the final victory of the russians over sweden. alexander i created an autonomous grand duchy in finland as part of the russian empire, which had an extremely wide level of autonomy, which. is not exactly the predecessor from which the modern finnish state directly grew; before that finland did not have any autonomy. alexander i, captivated by a

pretty resident of suomi, also gave a good gift to his new subjects, separated a region from the russian empire proper, so called old finland with the city of vyborg, taken from sweden back in 1721 and annexed to the grand duchy of finland. the principality enjoyed great privileges. own diet, finnish stamp, newspapers, even customs. the principality paid a lot of money so that hot finnish guys would not wander into the russian army, but they still created one battalion to ask for further privileges from the russian tsar. and this battalion suppressed the uprisings in poland. during the crimean war of 1854-56, the battalion stopped an attempt to land english landing on the coast in the baltic sea in ekinse. also the third finnish rifle battalion

. can this be considered the beginning of a new wave of the banking crisis in the united states? christina kuruma will tell you. the rating agency moody's has downgraded the status of new york city banker to

garbage. as a result, shares fell 16% on the new york market. and it is now trading at its lowest level since 1997. looking at this figure, it’s hard to believe that nycb is one of the winners of last year’s wave of regional bank crises. then y. bought it out a bankrupt bank, resulting in total assets exceeding $100 billion. the bank cut its dividend last week and added to reserves to prepare for tighter capital rules, but muda said the extra $500 million would still not be enough to cover potential loan losses. new york community bank korb is heavily focused on rent-controlled multifamily real estate, a segment that has historically performed well... however, this period may end. the amount of non-performing loans jumped 48% in the last 3 months of 2023. although nycb is

a mid-sized bank, these losses raise concerns about potential defaults in the real estate market. the index of regional banks, which includes 24 organizations, showed the worst performance since the collapse of silkonveli bank. last year, the troubles of svb and other banks were associated with mistakes. admitted in internal asset management, they accumulated a very large amount of funds during the pandemic, and some banks did not understand what to do with these funds. svb and a number of other banks invested them in super-profitable government bonds and mortgage bonds, which in fact do not necessarily need to be in the bank’s portfolio. and they were caught off guard when the fed raised rates, which it had not done for a very long time. this situation worries me more because it is related to the direct functionality that we expect from the bank. that is, real estate financing. the fact is that the us commercial real estate market is under severe pressure from the federal reserve system. from march twenty-two to july twenty-three, the regulator

increased the key rate. almost from zero to 5.5%, all for the sake of fighting inflation, in the conditions of this inflation and restrictions, changing the interest rate does not give a quick result, in such a situation, of course, the economy finds itself in a certain trap, it consists of this: on the one hand, high interest rates do not allow the economy to develop, and... on the other hand, high interest rates do not provide adequate results in terms of combating high inflation. rates are rising, borrowers are struggling to repay their loans and are unable to refinance them, which leads to defaults. regional banks are more exposed to the industry and could be hit harder. unlike larger competitors, they don't have large portfolios to protect them. bank stocks around the world fell amid

the collapse of ny community bank. however, analysts do not expect a continuation of last year's crisis. it is premature to talk about trends in a new wave of the banking crisis in america. the reporting of the largest banks , which is currently underway, and reporting on the results of the year, speaks of strong balance sheets, suggests that banks are earning well even in the current conditions , the rehabilitation of rates, and is pulling some balances down, given that... purchased long-term treasuries, who asked, but at the same time it is premature to talk about any destabilization of the financial sector in america , especially considering that everyone is expecting a reduction in interest rates from the federal reserve system not today, but tomorrow. analysts bloomberg argue that nycb needs between $4 billion and $6 billion to meet new requirements for regional banks. lowering

the credit rating immediately on... the position will create problems for them when selling debt obligations.

the news of the series is brief: vladimir putin held a meeting with the country’s chief marovin , berl lazar, and the head of the federation of jewish communities, alexander boroda. the president said: after the escalation of the conflict in the middle east , russia is doing everything to free the hostages. american.
