Президент РФ Владимир Путин в воскресенье выступил на съезде "Единой России" и заявил, что нынешнее время является судьбоносным для России, поскольку страна переживает период коренной системной трансформации мира.

На прошлой неделе москвичи удивились еще одной очереди — за сладкими печеньками. В новой кондитерской точке на Тверском бульваре развернулась продажа десертов от дубайского проекта Pauline cake — и очередь набежала такая длиннющая, что продажу пришлось ограничить, по одной-две штуки в руки.

В мае был отмечен рекордный в этом году отток средств со срочных депозитов граждан, и большая его часть пришлась на топ-10 банков по объему средств физлиц. При этом у шести крупнейших банков портфель снизился более чем на 20 млрд руб., а Сбербанк потерял более 200 млрд руб. Эксперты отмечают, что такие факторы, как снижающиеся ставки по депозитам и нестабильная работа интернета мотивируют граждан переводить средства в наличные,— по данным ЦБ, в мае их объем в обращении вырос на 400 млрд руб.

Помпезный госвизит американского президента и не менее торжественный официальный визит президента России в Поднебесную стали, пожалуй, самыми яркими политическими зрелищами мая. Но, поскольку от ярких заявлений главы трех супердержав воздержались, события эти мало взволновали рынки. Куда больше инвесторов волновало хрупкое перемирие и блокировка судоходства в Ормузском заливе, которое к концу мая на сдержанной риторике представителей Ирана и США охладило цены на нефть ниже психологического порога $100 за баррель. Однако после «риторики пушек» 25–26 мая, когда американцы заявили об ударах по иранским катерам и пусковым площадкам иранских ракет, и после ответных угроз иранцев поднять цены на нефть до $200 нефть-таки вернулась к росту. Тем временем в России инвесторы в сезон годовых отчетов компаний с большим интересом слушали не политиков, а представителей крупного бизнеса в надежде на рост цен акций и выплату вожделенных дивидендов по итогам 2025 года.

More than 1,300 excess deaths have been recorded in connection with Europe's record-breaking heatwave since June 21, according to the World Health Organization on Sunday. Earlier that day, health officials in France reported that there had been around 1,000 more deaths than expected in the country since Wednesday. 

Is this the heatwave that finally changes French minds on air conditioning? Not the mind of environment minister Monique Barbut, for one, who said she was "horrified" by the idea of it becoming widespread. The rest of the world looked on perplexed as France suffered a brutal week, particularly for schools, hospitals and care homes. Long suspicious of it, French people are slowly adopting A/C, but it remains politically controversial and difficult to install in historic towns and cities.

Latest attack follows civilian deaths on both sides of Russia-Ukraine border on Saturday. What we know on day 1,585A Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv early Sunday has wounded at least two people, the city’s administration said not long after it had warned residents to take shelter.“Air defence forces are operating in the capital. Remain in shelters!”, the capital’s mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram. Explosions and several flashes in the sky have been reported. “As of now, the number of wounded in the overnight attack has risen to two,” head of the local military administration, Tymur Tkachenko said in a post on Telegram. Several fires broke out in the Darnytsky district as a result of the attack, Tkachenko said earlier.The attack follows civilian deaths on both sides of the ​Russia-Ukraine border on Saturday. Russian strikes in Dnipropetrovsk in central-eastern Ukraine and the northern Sumy region killed two people, while Ukraine launched attacks on Volgograd and Belgorod in Russia’s southwest, and Horlivka, in the Donetsk region of Ukraine, which is controlled by Moscow. Three people were killed in the attacks, regional authorities said.In the Russian border region of Bryansk, ⁠a Ukrainian drone strike on Saturday killed two people in their car in a village near the border, ⁠the region’s acting governor Yegor Kovalchuk said on Telegram. Russia’s defence ​ministry, quoted by Russian ‌news agencies, said ‌124 Ukrainian drones had been downed over Russian regions over ‌a period extending from 8 am to 8pm.A “massive” Ukrainian drone strike reportedly also hit in the Krasnodar region in southern Russia, killing one person, wounding another and causing a fire in an oil refinery. Krasnodar regional governor Veniamin Kondratyev said on Sunday that several houses were also damaged by falling debris. “Krasnodar region came under a massive enemy drone attack... Sadly, one person was killed,” Kondratyev said in a post on Telegram, adding that “one person was wounded and received the necessary assistance on site”. He said a “fire also broke out at an oil refinery in the city, and a power line and gas pipe were damaged”.More than 40 drone strikes and artillery fire had killed one person and injured one near Nikopol, according to the governor of the ​southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region in Ukraine, Oleksandr Ganzha. The town, lying ⁠on the opposite bank of the Dnipro River from ​the ​Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power ​plant, is a frequent Russian target.Serbian president Aleksandar Vucic said on Saturday he would resign within weeks and the country would hold early presidential and parliamentary elections, after 18 months of anti-government protests about government corruption and media censorship. Serbia is a candidate to join the European Union but it is under pressure from the West to align with EU sanctions on Russia, a step Belgrade has so far declined to take. It must also improve its rule of law, including conditions for fair elections, and root out corruption and organised crime.Russian president Vladimir Putin and Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko held talks on Friday, according to the Kremlin, and discussions were expected to have focused on the war in Ukraine. Meeting at Putin’s Valdai residence in northwestern Russia, the two leaders addressed ​trade and economic cooperation, the implementation of joint projects and issues of ‌regional security. The meeting follows a warning earlier this month from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Lukashenko to remove equipment from Belarus used by Russia in its attacks on Ukraine.

Trump administration’s rhetoric has created so much uncertainty that Poland and Baltic states have fresh doubts as alliance prepares to meet next monthA nightmare scenario has been playing on eastern European minds with increasing intensity since Donald Trump returned to the White House: what if Russia attacks and the US does not join the fight?On the rare occasions the question is posed out loud, nobody much likes the answer. In mid-May, at a gathering in Tallinn, the US undersecretary of state Thomas DiNanno was asked directly whether American troops would fight if Russia invaded the Baltic states. He shifted uncomfortably in his chair, then gave a meandering answer. It did not include the word “yes”. Continue reading...
