deputy prime minister alexander novak said this in an interview with the magazine and noted that investments have only been growing recently. in 2022, despite the introduction of sanctions, investments. oil and gas russia's industry grew by more than 25% compared to the previous year. investment growth continued in 2023. and this applies not only to the exploration and production sector. investments in oil refining in 2023 doubled compared to 2022, amounting to about 200 billion rubles. this indicates the self-sufficiency of the russian oil and gas industry. in addition, as alexander novuk stated, russia. confirmed its role as a reliable partner and key participant in opec plus. according to him, if it were not for the reduction in production under the agreement , a severe surplus would have formed on the oil market. through joint efforts we managed to reach a balance and maintain the optimal price level. russian

oil eurols has reached the same price as north sea brand, which is now trading around $80 per barrel. goldman sachs came to these conclusions after analyzing customs data. experts. who asked for lime explains this by the rise in price of the domestic brand in india; it buys about a third of oil from us. in recent years , eurols was sold at a discount of approximately $30, this was associated with political risks, primarily due to the fact that oil transportation from russia was carried out mainly by foreign companies, but when new supply chains were formed, the price began to rise, at the end of last year the difference disappeared completely, even attempts by the group of seven to set a ceiling in... exports of russian liquefied natural gas in february increased by almost 3% annualized. according to kepler, it was possible to ship about 2,800 thousand tons. deliveries to european countries and turkey

exceeded 15 million, and more than a million tons were sent to asia. in addition, russia occupies third place in terms of lng supplies to spain in february. purchased liquefied gas from us for more than 5,000 gvv, and for the entire last year more than 72,500. snp downgraded ukraine's credit rating from triple c to double c with a negative outlook. the agency believes that its medium-term economic prospects are subject to a high degree of uncertainty, primarily due to the conflict with russia from the current population. kiev will almost inevitably not be able to pay off its external debts, which means... it will soon have to negotiate a restructuring. in upon completion of the issue, let me remind you that the exchange rates for today are the dollar 90 rubles. 74 kopecks. euro 98.87. and that's all i have for now. voting by location

in ukraine there are those who are asking to finally surrender, to raise the white flag, but others believe that such a scenario will reveal the strongest, what do you think? i believe that the stronger one is the one who sees the situation, the one who thinks about people, the one who... has the courage to raise the white flag and negotiate. today it is possible to negotiate with the help of international powers. the word negotiations is courageous, when you see that you are losing, that things are going wrong, you need to have courage and negotiate. you're ashamed, but how many deaths will this end in? a few hours later, the vatican press service was forced to correct the statement, saying francis meant a truce, not capitulation. in kiev, however, the pontiff’s call was met with hostility. the country's embassy at the vatican noted that the only way to complete the combat. action is to defeat the enemy, the christian association of ukrainians in italy called the words

of the head of the vatican shocking, embarrassing and insulting. this is not the first time that harsh criticism from kiev has been directed at francis. the ukrainian leadership systematically rejected the peace initiative of the pontiff; last year, the pope was even included in the peacekeeper’s base for calling on russian youth not to abandon the legacy of the great empire. he said the corresponding words during an online speech at the all-russian meeting of catholic youth.

there is no need to search; several states immediately proposed to hold negotiations between the warring parties. beijing has prepared

a 12-point peace plan, and china's special representative for eurasian affairs lihui not long ago i visited moscow and kiev, then went to countries that provide support to ukraine. last summer, the leaders of african states presented their version of a settlement to vladimir putin. turkish president erdogan also maintains active contacts with moscow, kiev. kora is not only ready to act as a mediator in dialogue, but also to become a platform for an international peace summit. let me remind you that the ukrainian conflict could have ended in the spring of twenty-two in turkey, but then british prime minister boris johnson literally forced the kiev regime to abandon the agreements reached in istanbul. artyom krosulin, evgenia zemtsova, vesti. the pope's words about the need to conduct peace negotiations went unheeded. so western european leaders are trying their best to help. germany, but only with

barter mediation from great britain. about whether the eec or the party of escalation has a chance of success, about who, on the contrary, is ready to end the conflict? our correspondent emil mirsaev talks about this. donald trump will not fund european security and military actions. ukraine, this was announced by hungarian prime minister viktor orban, who recently met with the former american leader in florida. according to the politician, without american money, the eu will not be able to support the ukrainian army and then the conflict will end. trump is not yet president of the united states, but his party in the us legislature is preventing democrats from investing money in the conflict in ukraine. he simply does not want to finance european security instead of the europeans themselves. if they are afraid, then they must pay for their own safety. it's time to rearm.

however, the eu countries have been actively engaged in this for the last 5 years without any calls, as follows from the latest report of the stockholm international peace research institute. analysts note that arms purchases by european countries have almost doubled, with over half of the supplies coming from the united states, which is a third more than in the previous period, which is noteworthy, for the first time in second place in the world. france turned out to be the winner, whose military exports increased by 47% during the reporting period. france uses opportunities generated by high global demand to increase its military industry through exports. paris has succeeded in selling combat aircraft outside europe. apparently, being in the spirit, says the opposition, the french president is throwing around loud language about sending nato troops to ukraine. emmanuel macron will visit kiev in the coming weeks, reports france-presse with reference to the elysee palace. will discuss the creation of a so-called coalition for deep strikes on the russian rear, which implies the supply of independent

long-range missiles, but this is precisely what the germans and other allies of paris have been denying over the past week. at the same time, the politician did not indicate where they came from, nor did he indicate with what money the military contracts were signed. ordinary european citizens are tired of the ukrainian conflict: taxpayers' money goes to finance kiev, and not to solve the migration crisis, fight inflation or develop a sovereign energy system, local experts and journalists admit this.

the latter notes that as a result, right-wing forces are gaining more and more popularity throughout the old world. it is not surprising that... macron's approval rating, according to the latest data, is one of the lowest in europe, only 24%. only scholz is worse with a score of 20. everything suggests that the party of escalation in the eu is losing its political points. emil mirsaev, vesti, paris, france. nato countries are behind the bombing of the nord stream gas pipeline. that is why the west is not investigating sabotage. this was stated by the leader of the french patriots party florian filippo. according to him, involvement from...

17:19 hours yes this post lasts, and he was lucky that the first months after his were in these months. fasting during the holy month is one of the pillars of islam; believers should refrain from eating during daylight hours. if the morning meal and suhoor are traditionally celebrated at home, then the evening breaking of the iftar fast is

also often celebrated by believers collectively. we work during ramadan, not as usual, we work well. so that people can come to us, to conduct the ftar in our cafe, it turns out that we will already be working until 12 to 11, it happens that there is no place at work, but sometimes families come to dine, sometimes guests are invited for 30, 40, 50 people, the month of ramadan for for muslims, this is not just a time of refusing to eat, it is a time of spiritual cleansing, pure thoughts, good deeds of fervent prayer. the muslim holy month of ramadan, a month of fasting, will last 30 days from...

oil prices have risen on the london stock exchange today. we played at capitalism and enough for nikolai kharitonov, for the communist party of the russian federation, for socialism. so i remembered our most recognizable symbol of the bear, which guards its taiga there. maybe our mishka needs to sit quietly, eat berries, honey, maybe they will leave him alone, they will not leave him, because they will always strive to put him in prison, and as soon as possible. they will put him on a chain and pull out his teeth and claws, as soon as god forbid this happens, they will immediately clean up the taiga, but he will not give his taiga to anyone, i think this should be clear,
