russia surprised the international monetary fund. roman, hello, the imf did not expect that our country would develop so quickly under sanctions. russia was able to surprise with confident economic growth in conditions western sanctions. this was stated by julie kozak, director of the communications department of the international monetary fund. over the past six months, the imf itself has revised its forecasts for russia more than once. for the better, accompanied by slightly dumbfounded comments. in addition to the economic growth of our country, the imf representative once again outlined her position on frozen funds. the confiscation of sovereign russian assets by the west carries risks for the international monetary system. the decision on what to do with frozen assets remains up to the countries in which these assets are located and discussed between these countries. from our point of view , it is important that any actions take place. sufficient legal justification to avoid potential risks. these include risks of litigation,

risks of countermeasures and risks to the international monetary system. the new us anti-russian sanctions will have more than 500 targets, the deputy head of the us treasury said. the list itself should be published today. the official called washington’s main task to create difficulties for defense and industry of our country. the target of the new measures will also be companies in third countries, but in the us treasury. beijing is strongly opposed. the day before, the uk imposed sanctions against a number of companies from several countries, including china, three were included in the list. enterprises of the people's republic of china, sanctions pressure on russia increased after the start of the special operation, however

, moscow is successfully coping with it. against this background, the west is increasingly recognizing that these restrictions do not work. we have driven along the m-12-east highway to kazan over 3 million times since the moment of its opening. this was stated by deputy prime minister marat khusnulin during vladimir putin’s visit to multifunctional road service areas near kazan. this route begins with it. the deputy head of government noted that the development of the road infrastructure does not stop. in a couple of months, they are also planning to establish full-fledged communications along the highway. the work, as well as the movement itself along the highway, is carried out.

china is buying up all free volumes of lng available on the market, as bloomberg points out. additional batches are ordered at least three large chinese companies, the agency clarifies. the fact is that liquefied gas prices in asia are at their lowest since 2021 and beijing is seeking to take advantage of this to replenish reserves. thanks to low prices , lng has become more competitive with local energy sources. imports of liquid gas to china are steadily recovering after a decline in 2020. when pandemic restrictions and high fuel prices reduced demand. imports rose about 30% in january, according to ship tracking data. in annual terms, while the figure was approximately 8% lower than in the same month of 2022, 2021. the market is confident that the eu will continue to receive russian gas through

ukraine after 2024. industry representatives spoke about this in germany. at a specialized conference in essen. the position of kiev, which stated that it does not intend to extend the transit agreement with russia, seems simply not to be taken seriously. gas contracts for the first quarter of 2025 have fallen in price by approximately 20% since the beginning of the year. in other words, the risks traders' feelings are decreasing. one way or another, uninterrupted supplies of russian gas must be maintained. the authorities of slovakia, the first european country on ukrainian transit, made corresponding hints.

in relation to more than 500 legal entities and individuals, as reported by the us ministry of finance, the restrictions will primarily affect those associated with the russian military industry. alika komarova will tell you what else is known about the new package. new anti-russian sanctions in the united states will be immediately introduced by both gazdeb and the treasury. as they say in the west, this is because our economy is developing better than expected, which means we need to put more pressure on it. the deputy secretary of state announced with visible pleasure. in the next few days, the united states will present a crushing new package of sanctions, which will include hundreds, hundreds of hundreds of restrictions. i’ll wait and let the white house announce it on its own, but i’ll note: the vast majority of new restrictions will be aimed at closing gaps in the sanctions regime, which supposedly allows one to circumvent the effects of restrictive

measures. in addition, the official said: ukraine’s allies need to supply kiev with long-range weapons. the usa, according to nuland, only supports such tranches. they pulled victoria in the pentagon. the deputy press secretary of the us department of defense said: the tacoma would have been handed over to kiev long ago if it weren’t for the congressmen, who still cannot allocate money. the united states cannot stand by when an aggressor violates the sovereign borders of another country. so, of course, we are considering sending weapons that are a top priority for ukraine, such as air defense ammunition. but to unfortunately, not for me yet. there is nothing to tell you, we, of course, want to be sure that we will give ukraine what it needs, but we can do this only after congress decides to allocate funds to kiev, the extreme was found in germany, in the bundestag deputies voted for the possibility supply ukraine with long-range weapons, but the type of weapons was not specified.

ginsek nato also joined the general discussion on the topic of long-range weapons. in an interview with the financial times , stoltenberg said that the ukrainian armed forces have the right to inflict attacks on russian cities. because this supposedly complies with the norms of international law, while calling such tactics only self-defense, but the publication of the politician emphasizes that behind numerous statements of support for ukraine there are no real actions. the potential loss of ukraine is becoming increasingly clear, while sanctions are not effective enough and are not producing the desired results, which is causing western policymakers to become baffled and the desire of many europeans to try again to reach an agreement with russia is dangerous. that's all the criticism of the very weapons that the west supplies to ukraine is louder. the french publication figaro claims that the technique was intended for display in a shop window; in dirt and cold it only does harm.

is ready to conduct a dialogue with the united states on strategic stability, but only taking into account all factors, including washington’s aggression against moscow. brazil, which chairs the g20, in turn called for a focus on economics rather than geopolitics. but these topics turned out to be too closely related, and the participants were unable to get around them. today's the situation in the world economy - are grossly distorted by the methods the west uses in order to... punish those who do not follow its rules, which are clearly neo-colonial in nature, which

the west uses to eliminate competitors, these are both illegal sanctions and seizure with an eye to confiscation of someone else's property, blackmail, trade blockades and much more, also before departure to brazil. sergei lavrov held several bilateral negotiations on the sidelines of the ministerial g20. head of the russian foreign ministry met with colleagues from turkey and south africa. the focus was on developing cooperation between our countries. the russian embassy in washington sent a note of protest to the state department about the inadmissibility of insults against vladimir putin. this was announced by ambassador anatoly antonov. the statement was published in the telegram channel of the russian department of civil defense. it says that the situation cannot be resolved with a simple apology. antonov emphasized that.

presumably she was released from yemen. at least 40 palestinians died in as a result of israeli shelling in the gaza strip. according to al-jazeera tv channel

, about 100 more people were injured. footage taken in the affected area shows how doctors carry the dead out of the destroyed building. following airstrikes on residential buildings in the central part of the enclave, the main al-aqsa hospital is overcrowded. meanwhile, the israeli army recorded numerous rocket launches from hezbaleen positions. with the help of a crane, firefighters were able to save those whom they managed to reach through the smoke screen, but some had to jump on special trampolines. the fire is still ongoing,

20 teams are involved in extinguishing it, but rescuers cannot enter the building, it is almost burned out, there is a fear that there are still people inside, the cause of the fire is being investigated. in kazan, a major international multi-sport tournament is in full swing, the games of the future, the basis of which is fidzhetal sports with... is closely related to computer games, but the picture is real , especially for those who may not be so amazed by its scale, and if you look from the outside, big, huge. where there are several dozens of rows in front of a large screen on each side of which two teams are sitting at computers of five people per team

, each of which is currently being played by two. a fraternal team, one might say, because one represents the city of tomsk, and the other guys are from serbia, at the moment in this figital sport, since specifically in this discipline counter strike and laser are combined, so now the first part is underway, two teams are playing counter strike 2, score 12:4, this game is played until 13 wins, there are two cards, two types terrain, each game lasts 1 minute 50.5 seconds and, accordingly, during this time, inside this map, one team must destroy the other, just like five people play, also five characters are on this map on one side, five characters on the other, here you need speed of reaction, speed of decision-making, changing weapons, fast movement, changing positions, all this looks as fast as possible, by the way, the people who are in the hall react quite quickly after each

round is completed,

you won’t be offended, no, most likely it will be very cool, the lfo team will win, well , because ours, because you can see from them, you can see from them that they will win, you’re a gamer, you’re like, and i’m the curator of the group, yes, yes, yes, we are here only once with our students, we attend such events with pleasure , this is a game of the future, it is very interesting, this is not the first time we have been going to college, everyone really likes it, we are very glad that we are sent to such events, yes, the games of the future continue, they are already in full swing, the opening ceremony took place several days ago, and the disciplines replace one another, they are quite short in duration in terms of the number of days in which both the preliminary stages and finals take place at once, so the spectators, those who came to these games of the future,

do not have the opportunity to attend immediately. .. russia - traditional, modern, technological, original, open, great, so different, but dear to everyone, all of russia is before your eyes, come to the international exhibition forum russia.
