Тысячи людей приняли участие в традиционном Стамбульском заплыве из Азии в Европу

Тысячи людей в воскресенье приняли участие в заплыве через пролив Босфор, с азиатской стороны на европейскую сторону Стамбула.

Около 2,400 человек приняли участие в заплыве Samsung Bosphorus Cross Continental, который ежегодно организуется Олимпийским комитетом Турции. Это была 30-я гонка, первая из которых была проведена в 1989 году. Среди участников были пловцы из 55 стран, но в основном были турки, поскольку для иностранных пловцов зарезервированы только несколько слотов. Босфор, один из самых важных стратегических морских путей в мире, был закрыт для движения на время заплыва.

Luhansk the first Ukrainian region fully occupied by Russia

A Russia-appointed official in Ukraine’s occupied Luhansk region was quoted by AP on Monday saying that Moscow’s forces have overrun all of it, one of four regions Russia annexed from Ukraine in September 2022. If confirmed, it would make Luhansk the first Ukrainian region fully occupied by Russia after more than three years of war with international peace efforts led by the US failing to make progress on halting the fighting. Russian President Vladimir Putin has effectively rejected a ceasefire and hasn’t budged from his demands, which include Moscow’s control over the four illegally annexed regions.
