Умер президент Узбекистана Ислам Каримов

Президент Узбекистана Ислам Каримов умер после перенесенного инсульта в возрасте 78 лет, об этом агентству Reuters сообщили в пятницу дипломатические источники. Каримов не оставил после себя очевидного преемника.

Правительство Узбекистана не сразу подтвердило данные сообщения. Ранее в пятницу было сказано, что состояние Каримова, который находился в больнице с прошлой субботы, резко ухудшилось.

"Да, он умер", сообщил один из дипломатических источников, когда его спросили о состоянии Каримова.

Каримов правил Узбекистаном с 1989 года, сначала в качестве главы местной Коммунистической партии, а затем в качестве президента новой независимой республики с 1991 года.

Каримова критиковали за его авторитарный стиль руководства как со стороны Запада, так и со стороны правозащитных групп.

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.
