Северный Кавказ готовится к Новому году

На Северном Кавказе идет подготовка к новогодним праздникам. Несмотря на то, что в большинстве республик региона проживает в основном мусульманское население, и поэтому они не празднуют Рождество, традиции празднования Нового года, оставшиеся с советских времен, остаются сильными.

В последние годы празднования были особенно едкими в Чечне, где под железным кулаком Рамазана Кадырова, решительно поддерживаемого Кремлем, исламское восстание, охватившее регион после окончания советской власти, было в значительной степени, но не полностью сдержано. Новогодние празднования в столице Грозном широко освещаются российскими СМИ, которые пытаются создать образ нормальности происходящего.

The United States and Ukraine have signed a minerals deal after a two-month delay, in what President Donald Trump's administration called a new form of US commitment to Kyiv after the end of military aid. Ukraine said it secured key interests after protracted negotiations, including full sovereignty over its own rare earths, which are vital for new technologies and largely untapped. Trump had initially demanded rights to Ukraine's mineral wealth as compensation for US weapons sent under former president Joe Biden after Russia invaded just over three years ago.
