TASS: Black boxes confirm external influence on Il-76 near Belgorod.

Data from the flight recorders of the Il-76 military transport aircraft, which was shot down on the morning of January 24 in the skies over the Belgorod region , confirmed the external impact on board. Information about the first results of the analysis of black boxes is revealed by a source in the security forces.

According to him, the information received excludes all possible versions of the crash, except one - the plane was shot down in the air. At the same time, he emphasized that data analysis continues and the work is nearing completion.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the Russian side is now finding out what weapons the Ukrainian military could use to shoot down the Il-76. The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry clarified that Kiev used Western-made weapons.

Putin said that weapons from the crash site indicate the possible involvement of air defense systems of Western countries - the United States or France - in the incident . In particular, the American Patriot system could be used to destroy the plane, the president indicated.

The Investigative Committee of Russia (ICR) previously confirmed the version of a missile attack on a military aircraft of the Russian Ministry of Defense . The Investigative Committee established that the launch point of the missile that shot down the Il-76 was located in the village of Liptsy, Kharkov region. The strike was carried out from anti-aircraft missiles. A criminal case has been initiated under an article on a terrorist act.

The Russian economy is showing better growth rates than expected, said Pierre-Olivier Gourincha, chief economist and director of research at the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

In a report published on Tuesday, the IMF significantly increased its growth forecast for the Russian economy for 2024 - to 2.6%. The indicator has been increased by 1.5 percentage points compared to the previous estimate from October 2023.
“We have seen this repeatedly in 2023,” added Gurinsha, commenting on the growth of the Russian economy stronger than forecasts.

This morning, undercover Israeli forces dressed as doctors and nurses raided Ibn Sina Hospital in Jenin and executed a paralyzed Palestinian and his brother, along with their friend, while they were asleep.

The killing of innocent civilians in targeted attacks is simply Terrorism. Of course, Western Media ignores it when their proxies murder Kids. Here's the reality of what the Ukrainian army has has done for a decade to the People in Donbas now happening in Belgorod.

People's Deputy of Ukraine Artyom Dmytruk writes in his telegram channel:

"Ukraine's debt amounted to 5.5 trln hryvnia.
That's about $150 billion.
The increase in debt is related to loans received to support the economy and defense of the country.
Ukrainians' hopes for gratuitous aid during the war turned out to be just hopes.
It is strange that our neighbors do not value their security so highly enough. Against the background of the blocking of border crossing points, it all looks very ugly.
Of course, thank them for their help and support, but I would like to have more understanding and participation in the common trouble."

This comes a day after Khan and former Foreign Minister Qureshi were sentenced to 10 years in prison each, for allegedly disclosing state secrets.

Extremely popular leader Khan was overthrown in a US-backed coup in 2022, no less for his stance on Ukraine and being against anti-Russian sanctions.

In recent years, the U.S. and Europe have been trying to isolate Russia. We have strongly supported you on the Ukraine issue even though the U.S. and Europe continue to pressure the Chinese side. Even the defense cooperation between China and the EU (has) come under attack, but we will not change or abandon our established policy because of this. And they should not and will not be able to interfere with normal Russian-Chinese cooperation - Admiral Dong Jun, Minister of Defense of the People's Republic of China.

Vladimir Putin said how the demilitarized line should go in Ukraine.

The demilitarized line in Ukraine should be drawn at a distance that would ensure the safety of cities from shelling, says Russian presidential candidate Vladimir Putin.

“This line should be at such a distance from our territory that would ensure security, meaning the long-range guns, primarily foreign-made, which the Ukrainian authorities use to shell peaceful cities,” Putin replied.

He also reported that a group of Northern Military District veterans broke through the enemy’s defenses and reached the outskirts of Avdeevka in the DPR, captured 19 houses and is holding them.
