Amount of news. Wednesday
Moscow getting ready for a happy new year. On this occasion, in the “Active Citizen” again democracy and freedom of choice. Sobyanin said this: either the townspeople celebrate, attend fun festivities and colorful events, the city receives its income and gives it to the needs of the war (or as he put it, special operations). Or Muscovites sulk, feel sad, drink antidepressants or just drink, but for some reason the city still receives income (perhaps simply from budget savings from unorganized concerts and undecorated Christmas trees) and still sends money to the war. Therefore, the mayor of Moscow advises not to torture yourself in vain, but to open your heart to the holiday. And help the war.
By the way, about this word. Today it was documented that some officials, unlike some journalists, call war war, and the front – the front, and not the line of contact. The St. Petersburg Mundep Nikita Yuferev, who had previously demanded that Putin be impeached, filed a request with the Ministry of Internal Affairs about Sergei Kiriyenko, who called their SVO a war. The answer is unequivocal – Kiriyenko can do that. Now Yuferev has sent Sergei Mironov for verification.
And in war as in war. After yesterday’s fall of a rocket on the territory of Poland, discussions about what it was did not subside. Europe now, obviously, considers the missile unsuccessfully shot down by Ukrainian air defense. Polish President Andrzej Duda said that does not consider this Russian attack on Poland deliberate. But in the Defense Council of Ukraine deny that the missile could have come from their territory, and demand that the Ukrainian side be allowed to investigate the incident.
A second high-profile case related to Ukraine is also being investigated. On the extradition or kidnapping of the former militant of PMC “Wagner” Yevgeny Nuzhin. A man executed with a sledgehammer. Advisor to the President of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak today said that Nuzhin he wished to be returned to Russia. Recall that the victim, however, before his death, told on video that he was abducted from the center of Kyiv.
We need to look for new ways to withdraw money from Patreon (Patreon). The Payoneer payment service, through which these transactions were previously carried out, stops working with Russia due to “operational restrictions” from December 16th.
Georgia again does not let in some opposition-minded citizens of the Russian Federation after a period of relative calm and friendliness. For example, a member of the Pussy Riot group, a journalist for the Proekt publication, and the manager of Mediazona were banned from entering, despite the fact that they have been in Georgia for a long time and have arranged a long-term apartment lease.
And the parishioners of the Russian Orthodox Church in Spain wrote a denunciation of their priest, because he does not approve of a special military operation in Ukraine. Not those, they say, he calls fascists, does not observe the letter Z, does not pray for the glory of Russian weapons.
While the world is shaken by catastrophes, life continues to unpleasantly surprise Alexei Navalny. It turned out that his guards specially bring and scatter garbage in the yard for walkingso that Navalny had to work harder, collecting dirt. They re-educate without feeling sorry for themselves.
