the judicial system of russia in comparison with other countries in the world is the most accessible for citizens, i think this is a huge loss, it’s a great pity for everyone, it’s sincerely a pity that he passed away, my condolences to his family and friends, everyone who knew him who worked with him, and he was such a real hard worker, blessed memory to him. the position of

vyacheslav lebedev did not imply wide publicity; the judge always knows how to balance, remain, what is called a super-grip, maintain impartiality. them however, it is very important to understand that the supreme court, as the highest authority for resolving a wide variety of disputes, both civil, criminal, and economic, is an extremely important institution for state issues, and, of course, in this sense, the personality of vyacheslav lebedev is impossible.

camps not under the roof of official assyria. of course, everyone who worked with vyacheslav lebed, all those who came. a forgiveness ceremony was held with the chairman of the supreme court vyacheslav lebedev. in other topics , a suspect was arrested in simferopol for collecting information about russian military in the interests of the ukrainian special services, as reported by the fsb, the detainee received the task from curators in the main intelligence department of the ukrainian defense forces. the information was needed to

launch missile and artillery strikes against our personnel and military equipment. a criminal case was opened under the article espionage. the maximum penalty is up to 20 years in prison. now the court has chosen a preventive measure. 2 months in custody, i receive a call on my phone from a hidden number, he didn’t introduce himself to me, he just said this and that, i’m from ukraine, please, there there help, it was only after some time that i established that this man works for gur, the general directorate of intelligence of ukraine, for the military he asked to leak only current news, i said that then i am news... of course, well, i will check and send him, then suddenly i came across information about the fact that in melitopol there are military equipment located in several places and russian military personnel are stationed,

i sent him all this. foreign mercenaries who fought openly in the kiev formations told how ukrainian commanders make money from the sale of western weapons and even from their dead soldiers, these...

always delayed our salaries, our salaries were never correct, we had to buy all our equipment ourselves, we never received the help that we we wanted, they throw us straight into the heat, it’s clear why, that this money

can be accumulated further, this is the ukrainian command, and they can get great money for these dead souls, the bodies can be hidden somewhere if they die there...

the foreigners also said that in addition to retirees, career military specialists from abroad are also active on the ukrainian side. i know there were often cia operatives or fighters here. they are a mercenary, the true goal of the new pmc, the pranksters outlined

the overthrow of poroshenko and the liquidation of zelensky, the foreigners immediately agreed, well, i was surprised by the ending, how they joyfully swore allegiance to petro poroshenko and were even ready to go and stage a coup in ukraine, overthrow zelensky, so that the wonderful poroshenko became the new president because he promised them grief of everything, then...

the us policy is absolutely baseless. and the new york times emphasized that the desire of european leaders to distance themselves from macron’s idea only proves how disunited the military alliance is. the kremlin said today that nato's hostile rhetoric towards russia is a reason for additional security measures. the expansion of nato, the advancement of nato's military infrastructure towards our borders, hostile rhetoric from states that are members of the north atlantic alliance, that's all. of course, a cause for deep concern and a basis for taking additional measures to

ensure our safety. kaliningrad is a russian region, it is located on the baltic, and it will always be so. sending nato troops to ukraine will no longer save the situation in which the ussr found itself. the official representative of the russian foreign ministry, maria zakharova, stated this in an interview with the satellite radio station. she emphasized that macron's words shocked paris' nato allies. not just a statement, you have to ask the question, why is it made this statement before again spelling it out, but no one understood it, to be honest, i’m now talking about his own partners, friends, allies, whom he will send to guard zelensky’s bunker, such a shame , of course for france, the us, uk, italy, spain, poland, czech republic and slovakia all stated that they do not plan to deploy their

troops in ukraine. there will be no german or nato troops on ukrainian soil. the chancellor of germany made this promise to the germans. state duma prohibited placing advertisements on information resources for agents. deputies voted for the appropriate changes to the laws on media and advertising. the explanatory note states: the initiative is aimed at countering hidden interference from abroad in the internal affairs of our country. 3% on sbp on everything, and it doesn’t matter what you want
