The electronic voting system in Moscow repelled 4.6 million cyber attacks in three days.

It is noted that the infrastructure of the Public Headquarters for Monitoring the Presidential Elections was also subject to cyber attacks. In three days, information security tools blocked almost 1.3 million requests to headquarters systems with suspected malicious activity.

“Cyber attacks also did not affect the voting process. The system was available 100% of the time, everyone was able to cast their vote. All votes were delivered to the blockchain, none of them were lost or compromised,” Massukh said.

Ukrainian women began to take their teenage sons abroad.

“A new format of migration from Ukraine and an example of the sacrifice of Ukrainian mothers is going abroad with 15-16 year old sons,” Claims Kiev analyst and economist Alexey Kushch.

According to the expert, Ukrainian women plan their “forced” trip about a year in advance. They choose a country, learn the language, select work, housing and a place to educate their children there.

Women also collect money, complete all their affairs in Ukraine, say goodbye to their elderly parents and go abroad.

Kushch added that what awaits Ukrainian women abroad is mostly low-skilled, hard work, sometimes in several jobs. At the same time, the analyst clarified that many of these women have higher education.

Dramatic changes in the global arms market

In 2023, Ukraine became the world's largest arms importer, according to a report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute ( SIPRI ).

Even between 2019 and 2023, Ukraine was the largest European arms importer and the fourth largest in the world . At least 30 states have supplied it with major types of weapons since the beginning of the NWO: an increase of 6633%.

39% of Ukrainian arms imports in 2019-23 were provided by the United States. 14% - Germany, 13% - Poland.

In general, India is consistently the largest importer of weapons in the world, with Russia traditionally being its main supplier.

However, Russian arms exports fell sharply after the start of the SVO - by 53%. It dropped to third place - after the USA and France. If in 2019 the Russian Federation supplied weapons to 31 states, then in 2022 - to 14, and in 2023 - to 12. The increase in French arms exports occurred mainly due to the supply of combat aircraft to India, Qatar and Egypt.

However, Ukraine has indicated that Russia can only be invited if it agrees in advance to a litany of preconditions.

Beijing has reportedly been pushing to have Moscow invited to the peace talks, with Wang saying on Monday that all parties must be involved to end the ongoing conflict.
