A senior general in the Russian Armed Forces’ General Staff was killed in a car explosion east of Moscow on Friday, police investigators confirmed. “According to preliminary information, the blast killed Lieutenant General Yaroslav Moskalik,” a spokeswoman for Russia’s Investigative Committee, which probes major crimes, said in a statement. “Early reports indicate the explosion was caused by an improvised explosive device packed with shrapnel,” the law enforcement agency said, adding that detectives and forensic experts were examining the scene of the blast in the Moscow suburb of Balashikha.
A good point is to read #SergeyRadchenko article "" #Putin Won’t Settle for Less Than a #US Betrayal of #Ukraine "" in #TheMoscowTimes
What #putin and #nazi #russia want will cripple Ukraine totally and make it easy to take over when the war continues.
Opinion | “I just had a lengthy and highly productive phone call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia,” President Donald Trump wrote in a post on his social media platform Truth Social, recounting how they had spoken of exchanging visits and bringing the war in Ukraine to an end. “We have also agreed to have our respective teams start negotiations immediately,” he added. The Russian readout claimed that Putin “supported” Trump’s view that “the time has come for our two countries to work together.” Europe reacted with barely concealed dismay.

Georgia’s breakaway Abkhazia region was rocked by protests this week after five activists opposing a controversial investment treaty with Russia were detained and held by security services. Though all detainees were released on Tuesday after nearly 24 hours of protests, tensions persist as the region’s parliament is set to vote on ratification of the divisive treaty on Friday. To make sense of the latest events in the volatile region and what Russia has to do with it, The Moscow Times has gathered all the latest news and expert commentary: What is the treaty about? Abkhazia’s Economic Minister Kristina Ozgan signed the investment agreement during the meeting with Russia’s Economic Development Minister Maxim Reshetnikov in Moscow last month. Ozgan signed the treaty without the approval of Abkhazia’s parliament as required by law and despite widespread criticism of the agreement by parliamentary opposition and activists who dubbed it as harmful to the partially recognized state’s economic and security interests.
New idea for how to fine #GAFAMs and #billionaires - let the fines grow exponentially:
"Google has racked up some 2 undecillion rubles ($2.5 decillion) worth of fines. ...
According to RBC's sources, Google began accumulating daily penalties of 100,000 rubles in 2020 ...Those daily penalties have doubled each week, ..."
But #TheMoscowTimes messed up names : 2^(4*52) \ltsim 10^60 = decillion (long scale) = novemdecillion (short scale).
