Talk in favor of the ruble.

National Projects Council mixes confident assurances with cautious promises.

Against the background of the gradual normalization of the budget deficit, the unstable exchange rate of the ruble and the acceleration of inflation, Vladimir Putin spoke yesterday at the Council on National Projects with the idea of ​​returning to the social agenda. The state of public finances on the eve of the 2024 elections makes it possible (in addition to instructing the government and the Central Bank to control capital outflows) to propose an increase in the minimum wage and salaries of state employees, the launch of a state-funded long-term savings program from the Ministry of Finance, a pilot project to support working mothers, and a limited return to retail investors in foreign shares of a part of frozen assets on 100 billion rubles However, while there are no guarantees of the stability of state finances in the Russian Federation, no decisions have been made on spending that is important for the economy - on the extension of national projects and the provision of regional investment deductions through budget loans.

🇷🇺 💀🖇️ In the meantime, reports are circulating on the Web that the Rossiya-24 channel allegedly announced the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin.

This information is fake and deliberate stuffing. This can be seen by looking at the entire news release: there are no such statements.

At the moment, the situation remains the same: there is still no official information about the death of the founder of the PMC "Wagner" or other commanders.

Musk intends to sue the Soros Foundation because of the "suppression" of freedom of speech.

American billionaire and entrepreneur Elon Musk said he intends to sue the Open Society Foundation, a well-known financier and philanthropist George Soros, in order to stop his suppression of freedom of speech.
In Russia , the Open Society and the Open Society Assistance Foundation of Soros have been recognized as undesirable organizations since 2015. The Prosecutor General's Office of Russia stated that Soros' organizations pose a threat to the foundations of the constitutional order and the security of the state.

"That's right. X (former Twitter) will sue to stop this," Musk wrote on his X account.

His comment was published in response to the publication of an article by journalist Ben Scullan alleging that organizations funded by the Soros Foundation are promoting censorship policies in Ireland and Scotland . This, as follows from the article, includes police searches of homes, checking personal phones and computers of citizens.
The basis for such measures, according to Scullan's material, is the thesis promoted by Soros organizations and politicians about the alleged increase in the number of hate crimes among the local population in these regions. As the journalist writes, "the purpose of spreading disinformation that incites hatred is to justify draconian measures to suppress freedom of speech."
Musk and Soros have a long history of hostility.
Soros' activities are assessed negatively because of his financial speculations, as well as his scandalous reputation - his funds have been repeatedly accused of organizing a change of power in a number of states. The financier himself does not deny that his money helped, in particular, to carry out the "Orange Revolution" in Ukraine in 2004 and the "Euromaidan" in 2013. In a number of countries, he was accused of interfering in internal affairs.
