hines was elected in 1866. he served for less than than one term. his election came when arkansas was was readmitted to the union during the period of reconstruction, after the civil war. after the civil war, like many northerners who moved south following the civil war, hines was an advocate of abolition and in 1868, he starts to to go around the state to campaign for ulysses s grant, who's the republican nominee for president. he, he and a companion get lost to one campaign event. they go to the local sheriff's office. the sheriff purports to give them direction. the sheriff is actually a member of the ku klux klan, shoots hines in the back and and kills him. hinds is not the only member of congress who perishes as a result of the the divide over slavery. the first member of the senate to be killed in the line of duty perished in part because of debates over slavery as well. all this had occurred before the civil war rather than after the the man was was david broderick. who's the photograph that i have here on the on the left of the screen? he wa

this neutrality was shown further by hines christian penalties, who look like he's ready to return to big politics, has staged important promotions. we must not forget that the events of february 24 were preceded by the so-called revolution of 2014, which i would rather call a coup, and in this coup the cia, that is, the us intelligence agency, took an active part in the consequences of this coup. by the war in ukraine, as a result of this war , more than 10,000 people have died before this year, mostly residents of eastern ukraine donetsk lugansk and all these long years europe has turned its back on this conflict. she never mediated the situation. and that in the end everyone was deceived? and yes, they were selected. we are living through the sanctions, which were adopted with a promise that later turned out to be a hoax that these sanctions would bring russia to its knees this did not happen, despite the sanctions russia doubled its oil and gas revenues with europe this year 100 billion last year to 220 billion this year due to having to take part in the sanctions, austria is hurt

effort to organizing peace talks between russia and ukraine, the former vice-chancellor of the republic hines spoke out in vienna. christian strache. in particular, he pointed out that now in europe they are trying not to recall the prehistory of the conflict, namely that in ukraine in 2014 a coup d'état was carried out with the participation of the united states and instead of calling for negotiations, the politician and the eu started negotiations, on the contrary to aggravate, they supply weapons to kiev, they strengthen anti-russian sanctions, with which they harm themselves. we've been through a lot in recent times. we are living through the sanctions that were adopted and deceived us that we can gain something by bringing russia to its knees. this is absolutely not the case, we see a positive trade balance in russia where it is now, if we talk about oil and gas trade, revenues have grown from 100 billion to 220 billion this year, there is no question of bringing russia to its knees, some protesters held in the hands of russian flags, like the participants in another action in the capita

chancellor of the country hines, christians fear, he made a call to the organization of peace talks betweencow and kiev way out of the crisis. can only be found by returning to the negotiating table until this is done. this terrible conflict will continue. and we do not want this austria a neutral country, and we want our politicians to put on proof of this neutrality. europe's energy system may face serious stress due to the arrival of the arctic cyclone, bloomberg warns about this next week in european cities, sub-zero temperatures with snowfalls are expected. as the agency notes, a warm autumn has facilitated gas consumption and helped preserve stockpiles, but now the region's power grids will face growing demand for heating and a shortage of supplies from wind farms. in the uk, germany and the nordic countries , the nuclear power plants of france and sweden are also experiencing difficulties. in germany, the network regulator called on local residents to reduce the heating of their homes to save fuel, and the estonian authorities are preparing the population for power outages, in winter

including ex-witnesses, chancellor hines, christians, a penalist, he said europe has long turned a blind eye to the events in ukraine, but the seizure of power that occurred in the country in its fourteenth year in terms of democracy. well, there’s no way to justify it, and instead of adding fuel to the fire, venya should make every effort to peacefully resolve the conflict in europe, they believed the promises that with the help of sanctions the west would be able to influence moscow and it would literally fall to its knees, but this did not happen because europeans themselves suffer for the restrictions imposed against our country. we see rising prices for electricity, and for gas for food. more and more people are suffering. it is a matter of social justice. people do not know how they will be able to provide for themselves over the next months. and we haven't reached the limit yet. many experts warn that a wave of bankruptcies awaits us in march-april. everything, it's a damn dangerous threat to welfare and the consequences of social policy in our country, when more and more people a
