, no one was hurt in this yard, but i’ll ask the operator now to show the force of such an impact from about such a fragment, that is, it pierces even such a thick sheet. the blow was carried out today by ukrainian militants in 5:00 in the morning in the neighboring houses, a blast wave broke out the windows with shrapnel, a woman was injured during the morning shelling, she was hospitalized, let's give the floor to an eyewitness, the situation is alarming, of course, all people are tense on their nerves, mostly flies to...

during the morning shelling nine multi-apartment residential buildings were damaged, local authorities reported, this was glazing, balconies were damaged, in addition , the roofs of private estates were cut, there was also damage to the fifteenth city school, six cars were damaged by shrapnel shells, the power line was also damaged, but employees of the power grid company quickly arrived on the scene. the power supply was restored, there was also damage in the suburbs of the regional center, damage to a residential private house, and damage to a car. in addition, tonight ukrainian militants attacked the shevekinsky urban district, it is located right on the border, as a result there is

damage to residential buildings, damage to the power line, one street remains without light, as soon as operational intelligence allows the situation there... employees of the energy network company will move forward and the light supply will also be restored. roman, igor, thank you, our correspondent, igor pikhanov, was in direct communication from belgorod. powerful explosions have occurred in ukraine in recent hours. early in the morning, residents of kharkov heard the roar. before this, the same messages came from uman in the cherkasy region. around midnight , information appeared about an attack in dnepropetrovsk. a little earlier, explosions occurred in the kiev region. ukrainian media report on the work of air defense. the sounds of detonation were heard in kherson, controlled by the kyiv regime. information about damage is being clarified. the air raid alert in ukraine was announced several times during the night. just heard the sirens. residents of 14 regions and the territory of the kherson region, where militants are now in control.

russian military in the kharkov region captured militants in the formation of the kraken brotherhood. the ministry of defense reported this. neo-nazis said that recruiting volunteers had become much more difficult. morale in units is falling. the reason is the difficult situation at the front, heavy losses. in addition, the command hides the real state of affairs from the militants; they are often sent on missions blindly. it was announced that there was a dome there, there was a rap, everything else, in the end this was not the case, there were no prepared firing points in those positions, plus they were constantly covering us with drones, there were skids and artillery was deliberately hitting us, that is, in the morning the tank was working on us , there was a mortar and it laid everything, well, not just close, but flew straight in, we fought with foreigners, that’s right,

because many of my good friends died in this war. this morning in kyiv with us secretary of state antony blinken arrived on an unannounced visit. the state department clarified that he will meet with zelensky, the prime minister and the head of the foreign ministry. they will discuss the situation on the battlefield and the new american aid package for ukraine. the topic will be continued by victoria koroleva. in the united states, they started talking about another package of military assistance for kiev, as the adviser explained.

size of supplies their sequence. i won't say that we will do this every week. i want to say that the level of intensity in this issue is already great. true, the new american tranches are unlikely to help the ukrainian armed forces improve its position in the short term. this was stated by military experts in the french newspaper mont. nevertheless, washington continues to demand that its allies supply patriot systems to kiev. germany has already given three of its installations to the ukrainians. with a creaky heart, german chancellor olaf. admitted that it’s hard for berlin, but kiev needs the missile system more. justifications were also made

by serbian president aleksandar vucic for trying to reach an agreement with ukraine. he declared, that belgrade faces certain tasks, so meetings with ukrainian representatives are simply necessary. what do you want from me? what do you want from your president? don't talk to a country with a population of forty million that has never done anything wrong. serbia and which did not recognize kosovo, i have the task and obligation to ask ukraine not to be on the other side when voting in the council of europe on the admission of kosovo, not to be against belgrade in the un general assembly. explain to me what 's wrong here? do you want to say now that i will a russian hire? i am not a russian hirer, neither european nor american. meanwhile, the situation on the battlefield for the ukrainian armed forces is getting worse, even the american media admits this. western supplies. are not able to fill the gaps in ukrainian defense, civilian infrastructure is of no interest to anyone,

because, as the nato secretary general said, in the event of defeat, it is pointless to restore the country. en stoltenberg again noted a strange logic: the more weapons kiev has, the less destruction for some reason. future recovery is important, but only if ukraine will win, otherwise there will be nothing to restore. and it will also cost a lot. but prevention is cheaper than repair, each of our supplies of weapons for defense means a reduction in damage and destruction, which means the scale of recovery after will decrease. the wars also responded to this statement in the russian foreign ministry. diplomats emphasized that for the west, kiev is only a tool for implementing a course against russia. ukraine itself is not at all interesting to nato countries. victoria koroleva, olga panomareva, lead. the estonian government is discussing the possibility of sending troops to the west ukraine, the advisor to the country's president said. according to his information, if the decision

is made, estonian soldiers will take on logistical tasks in western ukraine and thereby liberate them. take such a step as part of a full nato mission. now economic news, maria filippova joins me. mash, good morning, the ruble is noticeably strengthening. roman, good morning, yes, now i’ll tell you what influenced this. the ruble strengthened noticeably during the first full trading session after the may holidays. market participants attribute this to a decline in political risks. during these days, the president took office. the composition of the new russian government became known. on monday, the dollar fell against the ruble by 90 kopecks. the euro is at 95. the yuan exchange rate has dropped by 11 kopecks. today's trading opened without significant fluctuations. in addition to purely political factors, the ruble continues to be supported by the requirement for the mandatory sale of foreign currency earnings for the largest exporters, which

has been extended immediately for a year until april 2025. another positive point is the execution of the budget within the framework of the deficit plan. did not exceed 0.8% of gdp. annual inflation in russia at the end of the second quarter will be 7.7%, remaining at the level of the first. such figures are given in the central bank's commentary on the macro forecast. and in a quarterly comparison, price growth will decrease by one percentage point to 4.6%. as the regulator explained, the persistence of inflation at a high level is associated with active growth in demand, which exceeds the possibility of expanding supply. in addition, the bank of russia raised its inflation forecast for the current year, which indicates a more gradual slowdown in price growth than previously expected, he noted. regulator for next year, the forecast remains the same, the same target 4%. the former head of the world bank believes that america will face a financial disaster next year. david malpas referred to the monstrous

us national debt, which is approaching $35 trillion. at the same time, costs will only increase. and taxes. will also have to be increased to ensure at least somewhat comparable replenishment of the treasury. all this is aggravated by the fact that the federal reserve is unable to defeat the so -called sticky inflation, which it points out attention former head of the regional branch of the federal reserve? the so-called last mile of inflation to get inflation down from 3% to 2% is proving more difficult than expected, so we'll have to keep an eye on that and see how the situation develops, but...

anyone considering doing business with iran must be aware of the potential risk it is exposed to regarding the potential risk of sanctions. newdeli signed a ten-year contract with tehran for the development of the chabahar port. through iran gulf of oman india will gain access to afghanistan and central asia. more importantly, newdeli will be able to divert cargo flows bypassing the ports of pakistan, its historical rival. the situation is delicate. on the one hand, the usa.
