post writes about this, that is, even in the west they realized that the current elections have become an indicator of the incredible cohesion and consolidation of the russian people. there's no sign that the efforts have been successful, and for many residents, such attacks only strengthen their support for putin and prove the kremlin's view that russians are victims of the war, not its perpetrators. instead of weakening the morale of the two russians, these strikes make many in belgorod think that they themselves are victims and that russian troops should hit the ukrainian enemy even harder. now let's see how... they voted in the south of russia, the highest turnout is expected in crimea - 81%. beaten in kuban a historic high in election turnout. the total voter turnout in the krasnodar territory exceeded 80%. in the 2018 presidential elections, turnout in the krasnodar territory was 77%. data are also known for

the tourism industry has received an unprecedented boost. until reunited with all this was simply impossible for russia, experts say. crimea has changed radically, before ukraine took away its resources, now russia brought its resources there, this was a fundamental change in the situation of crimea, because ukraine sucked the juices from crimea, just as it sucked them from donbass. donbass and crimea provided at least a third of ukraine’s gdp. as part of russia, crimea received the opportunity to use it more, to a greater extent. own resources to free up more of the economic energy of their society. meanwhile, european countries having spent a fair amount of money pumping weapons into ukraine, they are now feverishly looking for means to defend themselves. it got to the point that with a request to invest in the military industry of the european union, they turned to the european investment bank, which actually specializes mainly in the civilian

sphere. bloomberg reports this. according to him , the corresponding letter was signed by the leaders of one and a half dozen. including the economic drivers of the eu, germany and france. well, at the end of the issue, as always about currencies, the dollar today costs 91 rubles 87 kopecks. euro exchange rate 99.97. and that's all i have for now. novel. konstantin, thank you, we continue. major accident on the transbaikal railway in the amur region. a freight train collided with a car that had driven onto the tracks. the driver of the car in the hospital. the streltsev got off. 20 cars, they were reportedly empty, traffic on the stretch was suspended, because of this there were already delays in the passenger train schedule. the transport prosecutor's office began an investigation and was sent to the scene of the accident. special locomotives of the railway brigade, they will deal restoration work. now eyewitnesses have filmed footage from primorye of a herd of deer

fight, the situation is getting worse every day more complicated, but nato should not send troops to ukraine; we, like most countries of the alliance, understand that it is not advisable to send troops there, because this will mean an escalation of the conflict. at this time, escalation must be avoided at all costs. they don’t despair only in the white house, there is kiev. remember, even when it is inappropriate. joe biden, in his speech on the occasion of st. patrick's day, recalled how much the united states has done for ukraine. and at the end of the address he modestly asked for applause. we stand against the cruelty and aggression that began russia in ukraine, here you need to clap. however, there is much less enthusiasm in other american departments, the national security council once again stated.
