💻Минпромторг РФ не ждет сокращения предложения компьютеров на рынке РФ из-за исключения западных брендов из параллельного импорта

Согласно приказу, вступающему в силу с 27 мая текущего года, через механизм параллельного импорта в РФ нельзя будет ввозить компьютеры и комплектующих брендов Acer, Asus, HP, Hitachi, IBM, Kingston, Samsung, Toshiba и ряд других. Еще ранее в 2025 году из перечня для параллельного импорта были выведены ноутбуки HP и Fujitsu.

"Аналогичные товарные позиции, исключаемые из перечня "параллельного импорта", представлены российскими производителями в объеме, достаточном для замещения товаров из недружественных стран. Таким образом, исключение данных позиций (компьютеры, ноутбуки, накопители, серверы и системы хранения данных) из перечня параллельного импорта не повлияет на ассортимент представленных на внутреннем рынке Российской Федерации товаров. Кроме того, такие меры повысят спрос на отечественную радиоэлектронную продукцию, что в свою очередь будет способствовать развитию отечественной радиоэлектронной промышленности", - заявили в Минпромторге.

🇦🇲🇺🇦 Zelensky: I had a good meeting with the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan.

This is the first visit of the President of Ukraine to Armenia in the last 24 years.

We discussed the situation in the region and security challenges and threats. I informed about the diplomatic work to achieve real peace.

We also talked about the development of economic partnership. I proposed to resume the work of the Joint Intergovernmental Commission on Economic Cooperation and hold its next meeting this year in Kyiv.

Дубай ,, ровно 10 минут продлилась ракетная тревога ... пока оф комментариев нет

👀 Dubai, the missile alert lasted 10 minutes... there is no official comment from the authorities yet.

Hearings begin in The Hague over the border dispute between Gayana and Venezuela https://bit.ly/3QN0Wee

❗️Two soldiers from an elite Golani bridge were injured near Zawtar during a raid in the area

Israeli forces withdrew the wounded and then bombed the area

Israeli forces might repush to capture this area. Zawtar is one of the most important checkpoints and the road to Nabatieh

Russians ☠️☠️☠️ "Putin, results"

Israeli forces did not enter Zawtar but reached some inhabited area

🇮🇷🇦🇪🇺🇸| Missile sirens/alerts were activated in the UAE (now cleared).

Possible speculation could be that Iran fired (a) missile(s) toward targets in the Persian Gulf which set of these alarms.

CENTCOM claimed that two US-flagged commercial vessels passed through Strait of Hormuz with US military cover. Although it’s hard to verify as their transponders were off.

Though there were several USAF activities above the Persian Gulf at that time.

IF the speculation is correct then Iran likely fired missiles/drones at the vessels near the area. According to Yonhap News Agency, a South Korean ship was attacked.

Pending more details from Iran.

Он отметил, что не намерен посещать военный парад. "Я не пойду на какой-либо военный парад. Все будет в том же формате, как и прежде", - приводит в понедельник слова Фицо словацкое агентство ТАСР.

🇬🇧🇯🇵 UK Doubted Japan's Nuclear Ban Policy in 1985

Declassified British Foreign Ministry documents, released at the National Archives in London, show that UK officials in 1985 believed Japan's three non-nuclear principles had been "not clear or consistent" regarding port calls — particularly given that American and French vessels were already conducting visits. Britain was seeking permission for one of its own ships to enter Japanese ports, following a cancelled call by aircraft carrier Invincible over fears it carried nuclear weapons. British officials also stated they did not believe the US was informing Japan about nuclear weapons aboard visiting ships.

Japan's three non-nuclear principles — prohibiting possession, production, and introduction of nuclear arms — were first adopted in 1967 and carry particular weight as the only nation to have suffered atomic bombings. A 2010 Japanese Foreign Ministry investigation later confirmed a tacit agreement with Washington during the Cold War that effectively allowed US nuclear-armed ships to enter Japanese ports without prior consultation, rendering Japan's stated policy largely performative during that period.

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who took office in October 2025, has not ruled out reviewing the non-nuclear principles amid deteriorating regional security conditions.
