🇷🇺🇫🇷Macron announces new sanctions against Russia

Following talks with allies, French President Emmanuel Macron warned that new restrictive measures will be introduced if Moscow rejects peace initiatives.
Brussels and Washington are expected to coordinate primary and secondary sanctions, while the U.S. will step up efforts to provide Ukraine with security guarantees.

🛡️Macron also stated that 26 countries are ready to join a security mission for Ukraine,

“They will be present on land, at sea or in the air the day after the ceasefire,”

he said.

However, the French president once again avoided addressing Russia’s own security concerns, recently discussed by Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.
⚠️ Russian officials have repeatedly stated that Western military presence near Russian borders is unacceptable.

🇷🇺 Youth are moving to the Far East. The economy here is growing faster than in other regions. Now Russia is launching a new stage of development for this macro-region - with a focus on high technologies. Vladimir Putin spoke at the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum; the key statements:

😃 On the Russian economy

🧣 The Central Bank is fighting inflation and trying to return to the 4% target. If the key rate is sharply reduced, prices will rise sharply.

🧣 The Russian economy must become a high-wage economy. And this is not an empty sound, not populism.

🧣 The poverty level in Russia has decreased from 11.3% to 7.2% over the past ten years.

🧣 Rare earth metals have been accounted for in Russia; they can be extracted and used. The Russian government should approve a strategy by November.

🧣 "Power of Siberia - 2" is one of the largest energy projects in the world. Gas prices are calculated using the same formula as for supplies to Europe, meaning they will be market-based.

🧣 Putin disagrees with Sberbank CEO Herman Gref's assessment of the technical stagnation of the Russian economy. Now it is necessary to ensure a "soft landing" for the economy to fight inflation.

🧣 The higher the workers' wages, the better. Then people live better and buy more, primarily domestic products.

😃 On the development of the Far East

🧣 The economic growth rate in the Far East is higher than in other regions of the country. The GRP (Gross Regional Product) has increased more than 2.5 times over the past 10 years.

🧣 The average salary in the Far East has increased 2.5 times over 10 years, exceeding 100 thousand rubles per month in nominal terms.

🧣 From January 1, 2027, a unified preferential regime for business will come into effect throughout the Far Eastern territory, with the goal of launching a new stage of development. At the same time, the conditions for current investors in the TOR (Advanced Special Economic Zones) will be preserved.

🧣 The Far East should become a leading region for Russia's digital development. It is possible and necessary to create high-tech projects here.

🧣 Russia will continue the modernization of the BAM (Baikal-Amur Mainline) and the Trans-Siberian Railway and will expand railway approaches to the ports of the Far East.

🧣 The trend of population outflow is gradually being reversed. Youth from all over the country are moving to the Far East. This indicates that the future of the country is being created right here.

🧣 Coal reserves in the Far East will last for 900 years. Modern technologies are needed to use these reserves wisely.

😃 On Other Topics

🧣 China's introduction of a visa-free regime for Russians was an unexpected decision. Russia highly appreciates this gesture of friendship and will do the same.

🧣 The bridge from Russia to North Korea should open in 2026.

🧣 Moscow has good proposals for working with American companies in Alaska. A political decision is needed.

🧣 U.S. President Donald Trump knows that I am open to dialogue, and so is he. We have no communication problems.

🧣 Foreign troops in Ukraine, if they appear now, will become legitimate targets for elimination.

🧣 Security guarantees must be for both Russia and Ukraine, and the Russian side will respect them.

🧣 Russia is not throwing a wrench in anyone's works.

🧣 The bear is, of course, a symbol of Russia, but we are now in the Far East: the world's largest tiger—the Ussuri tiger—is also Russian.

🧣 Have we turned away from someone? No, we have not turned away from anyone. Our double-headed eagle looked both ways then, and it looks both ways now.

🧣 Money is an important thing, but not the most important one. The most important thing is the proper organization of work, setting priorities, and coordination between the structures that must solve a common task.

🧣 The hero city of Moscow is the best place for a possible meeting with Zelenskyy. Russia gives him a one hundred percent security guarantee.

🛫 The import-substituted SJ-100 soared into the sky in Komsomolsk-on-Amur.

Another 24 just like this one are in production right now—all in various stages of completion. And this SJ-100 is already cutting through the clouds—today it flew for about an hour.

The SJ-100 is a short-haul aircraft for 100 passengers. It is equipped with Russian engines, avionics, landing gear, an auxiliary power unit, as well as control, power supply, air conditioning, and fire protection systems.

🛹 Some people buy a grand piano for their apartment, while others... a skateboard ramp.

Like this one, for example, installed in his home by a resident of St. Petersburg.

Let's wish his neighbors patience 😅
