Russian President Vladimir Putin says his government is continuing to implement measures to tackle the sanctions imposed on Moscow by “unfriendly countries.”

“The government of Russia is taking prompt decisions to ensure stable functioning of the market and financial sector,” he told the Eurasian leaders during a virtual meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council on Friday. “We’re working on increasing access to finance, to support working capital and liquidity. استراتيجية لعبة روليت ”

Russia had begun asking countries to pay for oil and gas shipments in rubles, but Putin says that policy will be reversed for some partners.

“We are extending the practice of payments in the national currencies for those countries that have proven themselves as reliable partners for Russia,” he said.

The Russian president went on to address the issue of food insecurity, which has come to the fore because Russia invaded Ukraine, one of the Europe’s largest grain producers. كازينو أون نت

“Russia and other members of our organization are behaving most responsibly,” he said, adding that Eurasian countries were fully self-sufficient when it came to these products.

Putin went on to say that interest in the Eurasian Economic Union was on the rise “despite the complex international situation, unleashed by the so-called collective West, with its confrontation.”

“To Russia, deepening relations with all Eurasian partners is very important,” he said.

The Supreme Eurasian Economic Council meeting took place on the second day of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) forum held in Kyrgyzstan. تعلم بوكر

The statement was adopted on Friday following a meeting attended by senior officials from China, India, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

“The heads of delegations welcome the Republic of Tajikistan’s offer to provide the country’s logistical infrastructure, including six bridges on the Tajik-Afghan border, for the delivery of humanitarian supplies by international organizations to the Afghan people,” the document noted. The meeting’s participants “also supported the use of a multifunctional international transport hub in the city of Termez of the Republic of Uzbekistan for the delivery of humanitarian aid.” “In this context, they consider it vital that countries strive to ensure the Afghan people’s unhindered access to humanitarian assistance,” the statement stressed.

West Has Declared Total War On Russia – Lavrov

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

The West has declared a total war on Russia and the Russian world, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Friday.

“The West has declared a total war on us, on the Russian World. Nobody makes any secret of this,” Lavrov said at a meeting of the Council of the heads of Russia’s constituent territories at the Foreign Ministry.

Lavrov warned that the Western policy of “cancelling” Russia would continue for a long time.

“The culture of cancelling Russia and everything related with our country has reached a point of absurdity. Bans have been imposed on such classics as Tchaikovsky, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy and Pushkin. Persecution is underway against Russian culture and art workers. In general, one can be certain that this situation will last,” Lavrov said.

“We must realize that it has exposed the West’s real attitude to the beautiful slogans that were put forward 30 years ago after the end of the Cold War, the calls for universal humanitarian values, for building a common European home from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Now we can see the real worth of these fine words,” Lavrov said.

He stressed that Russia would certainly not agree to put up with this.

“In this situation there is a great demand for a concrete discussion on how we develop our cooperation, cooperation between our ministry and civil society, including at the level of regions,” he added.

May 27, 2022

The economic war started by the West against Russia and Belarus will not prevent further integration in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Friday.

Speaking about the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council on Friday, Peskov noted that such an integration form “is very advanced,” while its development continues.

“There are difficulties connected with the economic war that has been started at least against two EAEU members, meaning Russia and Belarus. However, it cannot and will not prevent further development and strengthening of this format,” he said.

The Supreme Eurasian Economic Council overall is one of the most advanced integration formats in Eurasian space, Kremlin Spokesman noted, adding that “the most advanced format is probably the Union State of Russia and Belarus.”

Earlier reports said the participants of the meeting were expected to consider the relevant aspects of the activities of the Eurasian Economic Union, including strategic areas of integration development through 2025, as well as to approve the guidelines for macroeconomic policy of the Union’s member states for 2022-2023, and to discuss the issues of expansion of the EAEU’s trade and economic cooperation with foreign partners.

Two To Die By Hanging For Armed Robbery In Osun — Death by hanging

52-year-old man, Nkereuwem Emah, has been sentenced to death by hanging for killing his pregnant wife, whom he accused of infidelity in Mbiabam in Ibiono Ibom Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.

Emah, the father of five killed his wife on the 12th of February 2018, while she was sleeping in their residence, in Mbiabam, Ibiono Ibom LGA.

However, when arraigned on 6th December 2018, the accused pleaded not guilty to the one count of murder, contrary to Section 326(1) of the Criminal Code, Cap 38, Volume 2, Laws of Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria, 2000

The judgment came after four years of litigation in which, the prosecution called three witnesses, including a 10-year-old son of the deceased, Christian Sylvanus Etim, who narrated how his father committed the act against his mother.

Etim said “On 12/2/2018, my father, (the accused person) is a mechanic with the Water Board. On the said date, he used a matchet in the night. My mother was sleeping. He used it and cut my mother. My mother died. The incident took place in the house we all lived in. The village head called the Police in Itam. The Police came and invited me to accompany them to the station.”

The evidence of the son was corroborated by his father, the accused person, who had earlier confessed to the Police when he was arrested after the incident.

“On 12/2/2018 at about 4:30 am, I call my wife to ask her about how she came about the pregnancy and who is responsible for it. She refused to answer me and I become annoyed.

“I took the big matchet and cut her right hand. She moved to run away, I cut her neck again and she fall down. I was informed by people around our house that one Michael Udoh always sleep with her anytime I left the house for work,” Emah said in his extrajudicial statement which is an exhibit before the Court.

Delivering judgment which lasted for almost one hour on Friday, the trial judge, Justice Bassey Nkanang described the act as a “callous, inexplicable and inexcusable debasement of the marriage institution.”

The court held, “The accused person, Nkereuwem Etim Emah, is hereby sentenced to death. In compliance with the Section 339(2) of the Criminal Procedure Law, Cap 39, Laws of Akwa Ibom State, the sentence of the Court upon you, Nkereuwem Etim Emah is that you be hanged by the neck until you be dead and may the Lord have mercy on your soul”.

Earlier, the accused person had pleaded with the Court to temper justice with mercy and give him another chance to go home and take care of his five children.

I’ll Always Be Loyal To Real Madrid - Luka Modric

Real Madrid midfielder, Luka Modric, says he will continue to be loyal to the La Liga champions even though he’s yet to sign a new contract with the club.

Modric, who is due to become a free agent this summer after a decade at Santiago Bernabeu, insisted he will stay at the club, ruling out any possibility of a Mbappe-style U-turn.

Speaking to COPE, Modric made no secret about his allegiance to Carlo Ancelotti’s side.

“I have not extended my contract with Real Madrid yet, but I won’t do like Mbappe,” Modric joked. “And I hope the club won’t do that to me!”

“We have a good relationship. I have said many times that I want to finish my career here.”

When asked whether Mbappe’s announcement to stay at PSG came as a shock, Modric responded: “No, because we didn’t know anything. We had no expectations.

“There was a lot of talk about this, for a year, but we didn’t know anything; if it was going to happen or not, and that is why we have to close that topic and not talk about it anymore.”
