'To a dog, a dog's death,' Medvedev said about murder of defector Kuzminov

The politician refrained from elaborating or commenting on how exactly Kuzminov died.

The press service of the provincial Civil Guard has told TASS that the authorities were investigating the alleged murder of a 33-year-old Ukrainian citizen in the Valencian Community. His body bearing gunshot wounds was reportedly found in a garage in the Province of Alicante. The guards did not rule out that the documents found on the body might turn out to be forgeries.

The Russian foreign minister noted that the West often employs double standards, hypocrisy and outright lies, sacrificing diplomatic methods of peaceful settlement of disputes to power struggle.

"Remember how aggressively Russian President Vladimir Putinโ€™s interview with Tucker Carlson, which revealed the truth that Western elites keep back from their voters, was met in the West," the minister said at a meeting of G20 foreign ministers in Rio de Janeiro.

According to the statement, the final timeframe will depend on when Ukrainian pilots complete training to fly the planes.

IMF close to unlocking funds for Ukraine โ€“ Bloomberg

Plans to release the tranche come as the US aid package for Kiev remains stalled in Congress.

The International Monetary Fund could agree to unlock $900 million for Ukraine as soon as Thursday, Bloomberg has reported, citing officials with knowledge of the talks.

The disbursement would be part of a four-year $15.6 billion loan that the Washington-based institution approved for Ukraine last year, and would come as a $60 billion US aid package remains stalled in Congress.

Staff at the IMF have assessed whether Ukraine has met the conditions for the payment, and are expected to wrap up their work and make a statement in Washington on Thursday, Bloomberg wrote, citing the officials.

Polish farmers want to โ€˜humiliateโ€™ Ukraine โ€“ Zelensky aide

Mikhail Podoliak has dismissed protests against cheap grain imports as an attempt to hit his countryโ€™s โ€œmost painful pointโ€.

Polish farmers protesting near the border with Ukraine are trying to โ€œhumiliateโ€ their neighbor and inflict as much pain as possible, President Vladimir Zelenskyโ€™s most senior adviser, Mikhail Podoliak, claimed on Wednesday.

His comments came after hundreds of tractors gathered on the Polish-Ukrainian border this week, with farmers calling for the closure of checkpoints and a ban on importing cheap Ukrainian grain. Similar protests have regularly taken place in Poland since October 2023, when Brussels decided to allow Ukrainian haulers to enter the EU without having to obtain permits. 

Speaking to the Ukrainian TSN news channel, Podoliak dismissed the protests, insisting that the demonstrators were actually seeking to humiliate his country.

Seize frozen Russian assets in Navalnyโ€™s name โ€“ German MP

Legislation allowing such a move should be called โ€œNavalny Laws,โ€ Norbert Rottgen said.

Russiaโ€™s assets that remain frozen in the West should be confiscated in response to the death of opposition activist and anti-corruption campaigner Alexey Navalny, German parliament member Norbert Rottgen has said.

This money should be used to provide more arms to the Ukrainian military for use in the conflict with Russia, Rottgen suggested in his speech to the Bundestag on Wednesday.

Legislation that would allow the confiscation of an estimated $300 billion in assets owned by the Russian central bank, which were blocked by the US and the EU after the outbreak of the conflict between Moscow and Kiev in February 2022, should be named โ€œNavalny Laws,โ€ he added.

Kremlin reacts to Biden calling Putin a โ€˜crazy S.O.B.โ€™

The US president has disgraced his country, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.

Americans should be ashamed of their leader after their president reportedly called Russiaโ€™s Vladimir Putin a โ€œcrazy S.O.B.โ€ during a public event, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said. Joe Bidenโ€™s alleged name-calling occurred during a fundraiser on Wednesday.

According to US media, Biden singled out the Russian president while arguing that climate change was a worse threat for humanity than a nuclear conflict.

Officials in Washington have claimed that Putin resorted to โ€œnuclear blackmailโ€ when discussing the Ukraine conflict. Moscow has denied this characterization.

โ€œThis is a great disgrace for [the US],โ€ Peskov said on Thursday, when asked about the reported incident. โ€œIf the president of that nation uses that kind of language, that is shameful.โ€

"It's a mess, I mean all created by Joe Biden and his blundering in foreign relations"

Sen. Tommy Tuberville criticized Biden's foreign policy at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), saying that Donald Trump will end the Ukraine conflict as soon as he "gets in."

โ€œDonald Trump will stop it when he first gets in. He knows thereโ€™s no winning for Ukraine. He can work a deal with Putin,โ€ he said.

Zelensky announced the preparation of a new counter-offensive.

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky stated in an interview with Fox News that Kiev is preparing a new counter-offensive in the Black Sea and in the special military operation (SVO) zone .

โ€œTo continue our history in the Black Sea, we will do this. In summary: the south is very important. (...) protect the east,โ€ explained the Ukrainian president.

Zelensky stressed that the new counteroffensive will greatly surprise Russia , for which the operation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) will be a โ€œsurprise.โ€

Earlier, the United States announced the impossibility of Ukraineโ€™s victory over Russia. The Ukrainian counteroffensive planned for last spring failed, support for Zelensky at home and in Washington declined, and the United States was tired of endlessly providing financial assistance to Kiev.

Europe has โ€˜dim, lackluster technocratsโ€™ instead of strong leaders, Medvedev believes

The politician noted that the previous generation of European figures had had the inner strength to raise objections when issues had been important to their countries and this did not mean that they had taken Russia's side or abandoned any European ideals.

"In Europe, as I have said many times, all the true leaders are gone. A generation of dim, lackluster technocrats has arrived, who endorse only Euro-Atlantic ideals. Instead of dealing with their national problems, they follow instructions from Washington," he said.

Medvedev explained that there are exceptions among European leaders, such as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, or Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, "but this only confirms the rule." "And all the rest are people who do not have their own position," the politician stated.

Hello everyone!

Michael Bzhishkyan, a migration lawyer from Moscow, is here again ๐Ÿ˜‰
Info about me here: https://t.me/ForeignAgentIntel/7474

We are often approached with questions about property taxes in Russia๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ

Our team has prepared several posts on this:
1 - property objects that fall under property tax;
2 - property tax on residential premises (house, flat);
3 - property tax on non-residential property (office, apartment, etc.);
4 - land tax rate in Russia;
5 - tax from the sale of real estate.

โ“Question โ„– 1:
Which items of property fall under property tax?

๐Ÿ“ Answer:

Property tax is payable if you own:
โ€” residential property: a private house, flat or room;
โ€” non-residential property: an apartment, office, warehouse, shop, car service station, etc.

Land also is also considered to be immovable property, but it is not subject to property tax. Owners of land pay land tax.

โ“Question โ„– 2:
What is the rate of property tax in Russia on a dwelling (house, flat)?
Are there differences in the rate for residents and non-residents?

๐Ÿ“ Answer
Property tax is a regional tax. Each region of the Russian Federation (and there are 89 of them as of February 2024) sets its own rates.

In general, property tax rates for flats and private houses are the same in different regions plus or minus. For reference, let's take the tax rates in the city of Moscow (the tax rate depends on the cadastral value*):
- up to 10 million Rubles. - 0,1%
- up to 20 million Rubles. - 0,15%
- up to 50 million Rubles. - 0,2%
- from 50 million Rubles to 300 million Rubles - 0,3%

*Cadastral value is the price of real estate, which is set by the state. On average, it is 60-70% of the market value of the property.

โ—๏ธ Important: the tax status of the payer does not affect the property tax rates. That is, the rates are the same for residents and non-residents.

For example: The cadastral value of your property is 25 million Rubles.
Property tax calculation: 25 million Rubles *0.2%=50000 Rubles per year.
