В результате взрывов в стамбульском аэропорту погибли 41 человек

В результате скоординированных террористических атак в аэропорту им. Ататюрка в Стамбуле были убиты 36 человек и более 200 ранены. Бомбы взорвались на входе в терминал во вторник вечером, также сообщается о стрельбе из автомата Калашникова.

"Трое смертников совершили нападение", сообщил журналистам губернатор Стамбула Васип Сахин.

За прошедший год в Турции резко возросло число террористических атак, некоторые из них связаны с курдскими сепаратистами, другие же со странами исламского государства. Ответственность за эти последние взрывы в аэропорту взяла на себя террористическая группировка "Исламское государство"

В декабре было совершено нападение на другой аэропорт Стамбула им. Сабиха Гекчен, в результате чего был убит один из членов персонала аэропорта. В стране наблюдается резкое падение туризма, одного из её основных источников дохода.

Аэропорт им. Ататюрка является третьим по загруженности аэропортом в Европе после Хитроу в Лондоне и Шарль-де-Голля в Париже, который обслуживает более 60 миллионов пассажирова в год.

Trump threatens Russia with tariffs if peace deal is not reached within 50 days

US President Donald Trump on Monday threatened Russia with steep tariffs unless a peace deal is reached within 50 days and announced a rejuvenated pipeline for American weapons to reach Ukraine, hardening his stance toward Moscow after months of frustration about unsuccessful negotiations for ending the war. The latest steps reflect an evolving approach from the Republican president, who promised to swiftly resolve the war started by Russian President Vladimir Putin when he invaded Ukraine three years ago. In the past, Trump focused his criticism on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, whom he described as unwilling to compromise, but more recently has expressed growing irritation towards Putin. In addition, Trump said European allies would buy “billions and billions” of dollars of U.S. military equipment to be transferred to Ukraine, replenishing the besieged country’s supplies of weapons. He made the announcement in the Oval Office alongside NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.
