Musk called Kasparov an idiot

Elon Musk

Businessman, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk reacted sharply to criticism of his peace proposals for Ukraine by former world chess champion Garry Kasparov (the Russian Ministry of Justice has entered him in the register of natural persons-foreign agents).

Musk expressed his attitude on Twitter, commenting on the CNBC Squawk Box morning show, in which a fragment with Kasparov’s participation was shown. “Why do people sitting in comfortable mansions in Silicon Valley tell Ukraine how to conduct their business?»— said the ex-world champion. In his speech, Kasparov also mentioned the Mask.

“Although Kasparov actually plays chess almost as well as my iPhone, otherwise he’s an idiot,” Musk replied.

“I don’t have a house, much less a mansion, asshole,” the businessman added in the following tweet.

Musk in early October published a series of tweets in which he described his vision of resolving the conflict in Ukraine. In his opinion, Crimea should remain part of Russia, and in the regions occupied by Russian troops, repeated referendums should be held under the supervision of the UN.

The peace agreement, according to Musk, may also include the following conditions.

  • Ukraine remains a neutral country.
  • The parties will agree on the water supply of Crimea.

“With a high probability, this will be the outcome in the end. The only question is how many people will die before that,” Musk wrote then.

Musk attached a poll with two possible answers to the tweet: “Yes” and “No”.

Later in the next series of tweets, Musk said that Russia sees Crimea as its part, and if it is faced with the choice of losing the peninsula or using nuclear weapons, it will choose the latter. “If Russia is faced with a choice: to lose Crimea or use nuclear weapons on the battlefield, it will choose the latter. We have already imposed sanctions or disabled Russia in all possible ways, so what else do they have to lose? If we launch a retaliatory nuclear strike against Russia, they will launch a nuclear strike against us, and then we will have a third World War,” the businessman expressed his opinion.

In Ukraine, Musk’s proposal was met with indignation. Radical politicians and public figures sharply condemned the businessman’s proposals. The President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, offered himself to “Twitter” to choose who to consider a businessman as a friend of Ukraine or a friend of Russia.

The Kremlin considered the very fact of Musk’s thoughts about the world positive. “In fact, it is very positive that a person like Elon Musk is looking for ways to peacefully get out of the situation. <..."And achieving peace without fulfilling Russia's conditions is absolutely impossible," Dmitry Peskov said. According to him, many of Musk's ideas on this matter«deserve attention». "But as for referendums, finally, residents have already expressed their attitude. And there can be nothing else here. Today, the president will sign decrees, and this will become the territory of the Russian Federation," Peskov stressed then.

Why scandals did not prevent Rishi Sunak from becoming Prime Minister

AboutHe became the third leader of the Conservative Party in the last two months, Rishi Sunak became the only candidate for the post of Prime Minister of Great Britain. How one of the richest Britons, regularly criticized for his addiction to luxury, made his way to Downing Street – in the material of RBC

Why scandals did not prevent Rishi Sunak from becoming Prime Minister

Rishi Sunak

Why Rishi Sunak secured the post of Prime Minister

On Monday, October 24, ex-Finance Minister Rishi Sunak became the leader of the Conservative Party of Great Britain and secured his election as Prime Minister. His only rival, the leader of the House of Commons and Lord Chairman of the Succession Board Penny Mordaunt has left the race.

Charles III can return to London from Sandringham Palace in Norfolk and accept Liz Truss’s resignation in the evening and give Sunak the go-ahead to form a government.

42-year-old Sunak will become not only the youngest prime minister in the last 200 years, but also the first British leader of Asian descent. Truss has already congratulated Sunak on his victory and expressed her “full support” to him on her Twitter account.

The Guardian newspaper wrote that Sunak would make an official statement at 14:30 London time (16:30 Moscow time), but instead the new leader of the Conservative Party held a closed meeting with the Tories. As Bloomberg reported with reference to a participant in the meeting, he called on party members to unite after two resignations of prime ministers and rejected the possibility of early elections, which Labor is calling for. Pictures of members of the “1922 Committee”, which plays a key role in the process of determining the party leader, with Sunak in the center, have already appeared on the Web.

“I would like to congratulate Rishi Sunak on becoming the new leader of our party. It is time for the whole party to come together and unite around Rishi as he continues the important work of solving the problems we face as a country. The time of internal debate has really passed, and I know that under the leadership of Rishi Sunak, we can and will realize the aspirations of the British people,” said the chairman of the Conservative Party, Jake Berry.

Sunak’s appointment was accompanied by a sit-in protest by Greenpeace members in Westminster. About 30 people occupied the lobby of the parliament. Because of this, Sky News had to interrupt the broadcast at the request of the security service. In social networks, Greenpeace posted this appeal: “While the government is in chaos, almost 7 million people are facing fuel shortages. We need the next government to introduce a proper contingency tax to insulate homes and keep people warm this winter.

How candidates dropped out of the race

After Truss announced her resignation as prime minister on October 20, the chairman of the 1922 Committee, Graham Brady, and the head of the Conservatives, Jake Berry, explained how the procedure for choosing a new party leader and prime minister would take place. Those who want to fight for the highest post will need to enlist the support of at least 100 Conservative MPs. Total ythe Tory faction in the House of Commons has 357 seats, which means that there could not be more than three participants in the race. The end of the counting was scheduled for 14:00 London time (16:00 Moscow time) on Monday. Only Sunak was able to provide a list of the required size: he managed to enlist the support of almost 200 deputies. Mordaunt failed to overcome the threshold— only 90 Tories spoke in her favor.

At the same time, 49-year-old Mordaunt was the first to declare her ambitions. She not only dealt with matters related to mourning events after the death of Elizabeth II, but also signed documents on the ascension of King Charles III to the throne. Mordaunt participated in the campaign for the post of prime minister after Boris Johnson’s departure, but failed to qualify for the second round, although bookmakers considered her the most likely winner. The first woman as Minister of DefenseIn the UK (she headed the department in 2019) and the only reservist of the British Navy in parliament, Mordaunt has a reputation as a strong figure among the Tories. Since 2016, she has been considered an ardent supporter of Brexit. In particular, Mordaunt criticized London’s desire to leave the EU, but stay with it in the Customs Union. In the Johnson government, she served as Junior Minister for Trade Relations and oversaw trade agreements with the United States.

Rishi Sunak was the second to announce his intention to fight for the prime minister’s seat. He was the main rival of Truss in the elections in the summer of 2022, but could not oppose anything to her promise to lower taxes. Despite the fact that polls predicted a huge gap between Truss and Sunak, he scored 42.6% of the vote, and Truss- 57.4%. It is noteworthy that it was his resignation from the post of finance minister in July that marked the beginning of the government crisis, which was followed by Johnson’s resignation.

Sunak was born in Southampton, to a family of Indian descent who had moved from East Africa. He received public recognition for his policy of supporting the population and business during the pandemic, which he consistently explained during numerous press conferences. At the same time, he was repeatedly criticized for his luxurious lifestyle. The most famous episode was the construction of a swimming pool in his house in Yorkshire amid rising pricesfor energy and food. It will take £13 thousand to heat the pool, the Mirror edition estimates. A lot of attention was also attracted by the fact that the wife of Sunak Akshat Murti is the daughter of billionaire Narayana Murti, co-founder of the multinational IT company Infosys. The couple are considered to be one of the richest people in the UK. Sunak was also among those who had to pay a fine for participating in unauthorized parties during the pandemic.

Earlier, Shoigu warned colleagues from Britain, Turkey and France about this

Gerasimov discussed the topic of

Mark Milli

The Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Army, Valery Gerasimov, spoke by phone with the chairman of the Committee of Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces, General Mark Milli, according to the Ministry of Defense.

“During the conversation, the discussion with the American side of the situation related to the possible use of a dirty bomb by Ukraine continued,” the message says.

The Pentagon in its turn indicated that the communication line between the Russian and American departments remains open, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is ready to communicate with Russian colleagues, reports Reuters.

Earlier, the Ministry of Defense reported that Gerasimov discussed the issue of the dirty bomb with the Chief of the British Defense Staff, Admiral Anthony Radakin.

A dirty bomb can consist of a container with a radioactive substance and explosives. One of the variants of such a bomb is the detonation of a non-military installation that uses radioactive materials. A triggered “dirty bomb” can lead to radioactive contamination of the territory.

The fact that Russia has data on the impending provocation with a dirty bomb from Ukraine, on the eve of October 23, was announced by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. On October 23, he discussed this issue in telephone conversations with colleagues from the UK, France and Turkey. On the same day, the head of the Russian Defense Ministry also spoke with the Pentagon chief, they discussed the situation in Ukraine.

In Ukraine, such accusations were denied and experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) were offered to be sent to the country.

On October 24, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that it had prepared forces and means to perform tasks in conditions of radioactive contamination due to an impending provocation with a dirty bomb. The ministry believes that the purpose of this provocation is to accuse Russia of using weapons of mass destruction in Ukraine and launch a powerful anti-Russian campaign in the world aimed at undermining confidence in Moscow.

The representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that Kiev has already started implementing a plan with a dirty bomb, in particular, an order has been given to produce it. “We do not rule out assistance in solving this problem from some Western countries, which, according to incoming information, are negotiating with Ukraine on the supply of components for a dirty bomb,” the Foreign Ministry quoted her as saying.

According to her, according to available information, the Kiev regime plans to carry out the detonation of such a munition by disguising it as an abnormal operation of a low-power Russian nuclear munition, in which highly enriched uranium is used as a charge.

The Kremlin noted that Western countries decide for themselves whether to believe them or not to believe information about the possibility of using a dirty bomb. Their distrust does not eliminate threats, and it is up to Russia to bring information to the defense ministers of other states, said presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

Yle: a contestant with citizenship of Russia and Finland was excluded from the Finnish show “The Voice”

A singer with Russian citizenship was excluded from the Finnish

A Russian woman living in Finland was suspended from participating in the vocal show “The Voice” (The Voice) because of her Russian citizenship, writes Yle with reference to the participant and the management of the Nelonen TV channel broadcasting the competition.

«The Voice of Finland— the show outside politics should remain so. Participant— citizen of the state waging war, and regardless of what her behavior was during the program, the discussion around the show was inevitably politicized. Unfortunately, we cannot allow this,” the publication quotes the message received by the contestant.

According to Yle, the woman has been living in Finland for seven years and has received local citizenship. This year she passed the selection for the show “The Voice” and began filming in September.

According to the participant, she had not previously faced discrimination in Finland. “That is, I am a citizen of Finland, I can vote in the presidential elections, but I cannot sing on stage on the air of a Finnish TV show. It just destroyed me morally,” the girl said.

The executive director of the ITV production company, Pete Paavolainen, told the publication that the producers and the TV channel made a hasty decision, which turned out to be wrong. He assures that the organizers treat all candidates equally, but “the global situation creates a certain approach in society and show business.” He said that the contestant was already called back.

As the newspaper notes, it is known about another case of the removal of a candidate with Russian citizenship, later he was also invited to return. He is considering this possibility, Paavolainen noted, but the girl has already refused.

RBC sent a request to the Nelonen TV channel and asked for a comment on the show “The Voice” in Finland.

The Voice is a reality show in which four popular artists select participants for their teams among novice performers. Candidates are selected blindly: mentors sit with their backs to the participants during the performance of their songs and only hear them. The artists train them and periodically perform together with them, the winner is chosen by the viewers. For the first time, the show was held in the Netherlands, after which many countries, including Russia, had their own versions of the project.

On the night of September 29-30, the Finnish authorities banned the transit through the country of Russians with Schengen visas, including those issued by other countries. Russian citizens can enter only for family reasons, for study, work or if there is real estate in the country.

Rishi Sunak to become British Prime Minister

ECS-Finance Minister Rishi Sunak will become the new Prime Minister of Britain and leader of the Conservatives, the ex-Chancellor of the Treasury remained the only candidate for the post of head of the Cabinet of Ministers, after his rival leader of the House of Commons Penny Mordaunt announced her withdrawal from the race

Rishi Sunak will become Prime Minister of Britain

Rishi Sunak

Former British Foreign Minister and leader of the House of Commons Penny Mordaunt dropped out of the race for the leadership of the Conservative Party and, consequently, the prime minister of the country and supported Rishi Sunak, the BBC Broadcasting Corporation reported. Thus, it will be Sunak who will become the next head of government.

By 14:00 local time (16:00 Moscow time), candidates for the post of prime minister and party leader had to enlist the support of at least 100 Conservative parliamentarians. Almost 200 deputies spoke in support of Sunak, and Mordaunt – about 30, which is why she decided to withdraw her candidacy.

“It’s quite obvious that we need clarity now. We made this decision for the good of the country. As a result, we have chosen our next Prime Minister. <..."Rishi has my full support," Mordaunt said in a statement.

Thus, 42-year-old Sunak will become the next prime minister. Boris Johnson, who had previously intended to take part in the prime minister’s race, decided not to run; however, it is possible that he may get one of the key posts in the government, for example, the head of the Defense Ministry. On Monday night, Sunak and Johnson held a lengthy meeting during which they could agree on future cooperation.

Sunak will become the youngest British prime minister in modern history. David Cameron, when he became prime minister, was 43 years old; Tony Blair took this chair also at 43. And the youngest head of government in the history of the United Kingdom was William Pitt Jr.: he became prime Minister at the age of 24 (from May 1804 to the end of January 1806).

Sunak headed the Treasury from February 2020 to last July. He resigned due to disagreement with Johnson’s actions, and then decided to compete for the post of prime minister.

Acting Premier Liz Truss announced her resignation on October 20. She was the head of government for only 45 days – this is the shortest period in modern Britain. Truss admitted mistakes in economic policy, because of which she was forced to leave.

Initially, the results of the election of the prime minister were to be announced on October 28, but due to the fact that only one candidate remained in the race, Sunak will be officially proclaimed prime minister on October 24 or 25.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs requested data from the UN on the final recipients of Ukrainian grain

LAvrov: The Foreign Ministry requested data from the UN secretariat on the final consumers of grain from Ukraine, the Foreign Minister again noted that the poorest countries receive only a small percentage of Ukrainian grain, and half goes to Europe. In the EU, this is explained by the fact that from there wheat diverges to the rest of the world

The Foreign Ministry requested data from the UN on the final recipients of Ukrainian grain

Russia wants to have a clearer idea of how Ukrainian grain is distributed and has requested data from the UN secretariat, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said after talks with the head of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Hisein Brahim Taha. The broadcast was conducted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Minister noted that 5.7% of Ukrainian grain goes to the poorest countries, and more than half goes to Europe. As Lavrov said with reference to the UN secretariat, the EU explained that they only receive grain there, which then spreads around the world, including to the poorest countries.

“I wanted, of course, to have a clearer picture, so we asked the UN secretariat, which is engaged in this whole operation and which has all the data, to provide statistics on the movement of grain to the final destination, where the final consumer is,” the minister said. He explained that the adjustment of the grain agreement depends on this.

Lavrov recalled that the deal on the export of Ukrainian grain was a package and the second part concerned the export of Russian fertilizers, but it is practically not being implemented.

“Three months have passed since the conclusion of the agreements in Istanbul. The UN secretariat has pledged to solve all the problems that are created by Western sanctions <...>. On Friday, a representative of the UN secretariat said that the UN is working tirelessly to remove these restrictions,” the minister noted. He stressed that with regard to fertilizers, clear legal exceptions are needed “to meet the needs of our counterparties”.

On September 7, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Western countries “cheated” and “rudely threw”the poorest countries of Africa with the export of grain from Ukraine.

Scholz and von der Leyen supported the “Marshall plan” for Ukraine

ShOlts and von der Leyen: the “Marshall Plan” for Ukraine is a generational task Ukraine is a candidate for EU membership, so its restoration is also the construction of the future of Europe, politicians say. Kiev previously estimated the amount needed for this at $600 billion

Scholz and von der Leyen advocated the Marshall Plan for Ukraine

Olaf Scholz and Ursulafon der Leyen

Ukraine needs a “Marshall plan”, its development should begin now, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the head of the European Commission, former German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen said in an article for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. The material was published on the eve of a conference in Berlin on the restoration of Ukraine, which will also be attended by Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmygal.

In the article, Scholz and von der Leyen recalled that Ukraine is a candidate for the EU. “Therefore, the path to recovery is also Ukraine’s path to the European Union. Ukraine also defends the rules-based international order, the foundation of our peaceful coexistence and prosperity throughout the world. Therefore, if we support Ukraine, we are building our future and the future of our common Europe,” wrote the politicians (quoted by Tagesshau).

The Head of the EC and the Chancellor also noted that the restoration of Ukraine is a task for generations to begin today.

The Marshall Plan was proposed by US Secretary of State George Marshall, speaking at Harvard University on June 5, 1947. In the same year, a conference of European countries was convened in Paris to discuss it, the participants determined the amount of loans needed by Western Europe for four years. The US Congress approved the Marshall Plan in 1948. Its implementation took place within the framework of the Law on a four-year program of assistance to foreign states, the total amount was $ 12.4 billion.

In August, Scholz said that the restoration of Ukraine after the fighting would be a “big, big task” and would be bigger than the “Marshall Plan”, and its implementation would require “billions”. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky estimated the restoration of the country’s infrastructure at $600-800 billion, his office also indicated that the country would need $30-100 billion annually.

Von der Leyen noted in June that helping Ukraine rebuild the destroyed infrastructure is a moral duty of Europe. At the same time, the head of the European Commission pointed out that Kiev should carry out governance reforms, increase the independence of the judicial system and fight corruption in order to create positive conditions for the business sector.

At the same time, Brussels is considering the possibility of using the frozen assets of Russian businessmen to restore Ukraine, von der Leyen noted. A legal framework is being prepared for this. The press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov called such plans international banditry and “legalization of previously committed theft”.

Volodin considered the US and the EU accomplices of nuclear terrorism because of the help

InVyacheslav Volodin: assistance to Kiev makes the US and EU authorities complicit in nuclear terrorism Volodin noted that previously the threat of a “dirty bomb” existed until 2011 — from Osama bin Laden. In his opinion, “the methods of nuclear terror do not change,” a provocation with such a bomb, according to Moscow, is now being prepared by Kiev

Volodin considered the US and the EU accomplices of nuclear terrorism because of the help

Vyacheslav Volodin

The US and European authorities, helping Kiev, become “sponsors and accomplices of nuclear terrorism”, as Ukrainian forces continue shelling the infrastructure of nuclear power plants and intend to create a “dirty bomb”, State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin said in a telegram channel.

“The Kiev regime has instructed atomic scientists to create a dirty bomb. Continues shelling of critical infrastructure of nuclear power plants in Zaporizhia and Kursk, provoking a humanitarian catastrophe. The President of the United States and the heads of European states, providing financial and military assistance to the regime of [Ukrainian President Vladimir] Zelensky, become sponsors and accomplices of nuclear terrorism,” Volodin said.

As the speaker of the State Duma noted, 20 years ago, the United States reported that “Al-Qaeda” (a terrorist organization banned in Russia) and Osama bin Laden had gained access to radioactive substances and intended to create a “dirty bomb” that could infect a significant territory with radiation. The threat of a terrorist attack with its use existed until 2011, when bin Laden was destroyed, Volodin said. In his opinion, “the methods of nuclear terror do not change: what Osama bin Laden had, Zelensky remained the same.”

On the eve of the Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu held three telephone conversations with the heads of the Turkish Defense Ministry Hulusi Akar, Britain Ben Wallace and France Sebastian Lecorny. He informed them about a possible provocation by Ukraine with the use of a dirty bomb. Prior to that, the preparation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine provocation with such a bomb was reported by RIA Novosti with reference to trustworthy sources in different countries, including Ukraine.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba called the statement about Kiev’s plans to use such a bomb absurd and dangerous. The foreign ministers of the United States, France and Britain issued a joint statement rejecting Moscow’s claims about Ukraine’s plans to use it.

The detonation of a dirty bomb is a type of attack using radioactive material, for example, the detonation of a non-military installation.

Anton Krasovsky

RT presenter Anton Krasovsky, who suggested in one of his programs to drown and burn children in Ukraine, apologized four days later for his statement, saying that he was “really embarrassed”. He decided to ask for forgiveness from those who, according to him, were “stunned” by his words.

“Listen, I’m really embarrassed that I somehow didn’t see this border. About children. Well, it happens like this: you sit on the air, you are carried. And you can’t stop»,— he explained his words.

On October 20, during a broadcast on RT with an invited guest, science fiction writer Sergei Lukyanenko, Krasovsky suggested killing children in Ukraine. He expressed this idea when commenting on Lukyanenko’s story about trips to Ukraine in the 1980s. He recalled that some children told him that “Ukraine is occupied by Muscovites.”

“That’s right to drown these children, drown. This is not your method, you are intelligent people, science fiction writers, and this is our method. That’s what the “Muscovites” said bluntly, they occupied it and immediately you throw it directly into the river with a violent, stormy current,” Krasovsky said in response. When the writer objected that it was better to use rods in such cases, Krasovsky added that children could also be burned: “They have every hut there called Smerekov’s hut.” Straight into this “smerekov’s hut” to hammer and burn”. Lukyanenko in response noted that this is extremism and he does not support such proposals.

Four days later, after Krasovsky’s statements drew attention on social networks, RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan announced that the TV channel was suspending cooperation with the presenter. “Anton Krasovsky’s statement is wild and disgusting. Perhaps Anton will explain what temporary insanity it was caused by and how it slipped from his tongue. Difficultto believe that Krasovsky sincerely believed that it was necessary to drown children. At the moment, I am stopping our cooperation, because neither I nor the rest of the RT team can allow even the thought to flash that one of us is capable of sharing such a game,” she explained.
