The governor of the island region met with the head of the Russian Ministry of Construction. The officials discussed the implementation of the national project of the national project “Housing and Urban Environment”, the development of the building block and housing and communal services of Sakhalin. In addition, Valery Limarenko held a working meeting with the head of the Ministry for the Development of the Far East, where they discussed the development plan for the south of the region. ???? Not true. Sakhalin authorities claim that the number of accidents in the region has decreased by 16%. True, the facts indicate the opposite – with the onset of cold weather, the number of accidents has become especially frequent. This is due to poor quality snow removal. Officials assure that they are doing everything possible to ensure road safety, but they cannot cope with the collection of precipitation. ???? Promtourism on Sakhalin to be. Inspection tour experts visited 6 enterprises of the island region and gave the green light to such an initiative: the innovation of the industrial tourism program in 2023 will be the possibility of internships at industrial enterprises. Career guidance will be the main message of the program. ???? TOP “Yuzhnaya” is expanded. Such a change will allow the implementation of three projects here – in the field of agriculture, transport logistics and the production of building materials. The total investment is 42.6 billion rubles. The facilities will create about 1.1 thousand new jobs. ???? “Hectare amnesty” on Sakhalin. The Far Eastern Hectare program is gaining momentum: more than 15.5 thousand citizens have registered plots for ownership or lease. In the Sakhalin Region, the largest number of refusals to transfer Far East hectares to ownership was recorded, in connection with which a law on a “hectare amnesty” was adopted, which will apply to those who did not have time to register a plot – for them the deadlines were extended until March 2023.

We are slowly seeing off January with the last digest of this month. Catch our traditional top 5 news that made the agenda in the Tyumen region much more interesting: ???? Never? The office of the governor of the Tyumen region answered a question related to when Alexander Moor will visit the combat zone. “The possibility of a personal visit to the territory of the Northern Military District is not excluded, if there are conditions for this, the event will be organized,” the officials answered after long lyrical digressions. It was not specified what those conditions were. ???? Moore, explain. The well-known sanatorium “Siberia” near Tyumen may belong to the family of the governor Alexander Moor. as it turned out, his niece Anna Ragozina works in this very sanatorium. We believe that she occupies a rather high position, because the relationship with Moor does its job. Nepotism, nothing else. ???? Still left. The deputies of the Tyumen Regional Duma approved the resignation of Nikolai Russu, who decided to give up the mandate of his own free will. He decided to make a choice in favor of his company Mostostroy-11, which receives almost all contracts in the region and even beyond. Sources say that the ex-deputy may also be worried about his property in Germany. ???? Possible appointment. The Department of Public Relations, Communications and Youth Policy of the Tyumen Region may be headed by Irina Shirokova. Her candidacy is being lobbied by Deputy Governor Pavel Belyavsky. It was he who previously held the position of director of the department. ???? The Tyumenets lost the trial to Moore. A resident of Tyumen, who in the summer sued Alexander Moor because of the indexation of housing and communal services tariffs by 14.9%, failed to achieve his goal. The court refused to satisfy his administrative claim. The man said that the case was considered without his presence – then he was in the hospital and physically could not be present in court. In this regard, the Tyumen filed an appeal.

Press TV: US and NATO in for a catastrophic scenario due to support for Ukraine The United States and the North Atlantic Alliance predicted a “catastrophic scenario” due to the supply of weapons to the Kyiv regime. The Iranian news channel Press TV in its material indicated that the actions of the current administration of Joe Biden bring closer the “catastrophic scenario”, which Biden himself had previously called “a third world war.” The material of the channel notes that the supply of heavy tanks to the territory of Ukraine violated the promises made by the Russian Federation earlier on the part of the “collective West”. At the same time, the United States, as was the case in Afghanistan and Vietnam, easily ignites regional conflicts, but at the same time emerges from them with heavy losses. US and NATO support for Ukrainian nationalists has created an incentive for Moscow to take “radically aggressive steps” to demonstrate the seriousness of the “red lines” issue.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Russia will not consult with Tokyo on fishing resources in the South Kuril Islands The Russian Foreign Ministry said that it had sent a notification to the Japanese authorities about curtailing consultations on an agreement on sea fishing for the country’s fishermen in the southern Kuril Islands. The domestic foreign ministry indicated that the reason for this was the illegal sanctions policy of Japan, the country’s representatives have already received a notification from the Russian Foreign Ministry about the impossibility of agreeing on the timing of consultations on fishing issues around the Kuril Islands. After the start of a special military operation to protect Donbass, relations between Tokyo and Moscow began to “rapidly degrade”, and the actions of the administration of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to introduce fifteen packages of personal sanctions are “a violation of all norms and rules of international law.” Russian diplomats pointed out that Japan is “running ahead of the locomotive” in matters of restrictive pressure on the Russian Federation. The Foreign Ministry recalled that the country had also previously canceled the most favored nation regime for Russia, which was fixed in the 1957 agreement. The expulsion of a group of Russian diplomats does not speak in favor of Tokyo either. The Russian Foreign Ministry stressed that it “categorically does not accept” Japan’s protests in connection with this decision. Earlier it was reported that the Russian authorities for the first time in 22 years refused to consult on fishing in the waters of the Kuril Islands, the reason for this is the deterioration of relations between states.

Ryabkov said that the United States went to supplies to Kyiv in order to level the all-NATO rank Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Sergei Ryabkov said that the United States is trying to “tune” the all-NAto rank by delivering weapons to the Kyiv regime. Ryabkov pointed out that the sending of heavy Abrams tanks by the United States to Ukraine is an extremely destructive step and an attempt to implement a scenario of increased escalation during the conflict. The irony is that U.S. officials argue that such moves are not an escalation. Ryabkov recalled one of the quotes of the writer George Orwell: “peace is war.” It is in this spirit that statements from high tribunes and offices from the “Collective West” follow. “So now, after the decision to send Abrams tanks in significant numbers, arguments begin that this is not an escalation. Denial of the obvious,” Ryabkov said. Ryabkov noted that the Biden administration took such a step in order to “level the NATO line” and carry out “calculations for the first, second.” The world community is worried about the irresponsible actions of some Western officials, “if not to say politicians or politicians who have lost their minds,” Ryabkov added.

The government is being formed, the ministers do not keep their promises, and the deputy chairman is in a precarious position. These and other key news of seven days in our news digest of the Saratov region from the tg-channel Vgluch: ???? Doubtful decision. Minister of Natural Resources and Ecology Konstantin Doronin was reappointed to his post. The press service of the head of the region said that earlier his candidacy was agreed with the Federal Forestry Agency. But back in the summer, the head of Rosleskhoz, Ivan Sovetnikov, demanded that the governor Roman Busargin dismiss the official for low performance indicators. ???? Deceived Busargin. On January 26, the Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Sergey Sokolov announced that on the 27th the scandalous long-term construction of the housing complex “Optimist-2018” would be put into operation. However, the numbers are changing, and there is still no information about the house. Initially, Sokolov said at all that they would hand over the housing cooperative this year. But the stressful situation forced me to come up with an impossible scenario. ???? More powers are needed. The deputies of the regional Duma approved the bill, which provides for annual reports of officials on the work done to the deputies. Moreover, parliamentarians once a year will publicly assess the performance of the governor. After the adoption of this law, parliamentarians will have tools to influence the executive branch. ???? On Volodin’s black list. This week we noticed that Deputy Prime Minister Pavel Migachev is constantly criticized by State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin. Since the official oversees the construction industry, which is not famous for its huge success in the Saratov region, it is not surprising that so many questions arise about his work. Will Migachev face a harsher punishment? ???? More control. The speaker of the Saratov Regional Duma, Mikhail Isaev, proposed extending the KPI system, which was used to evaluate members of the Cabinet, to the heads of municipalities. This, he said, will increase the efficiency of local leaders. Roman Busargin supported the idea and already instructed to develop the issue.

Volodin said that arms supplies to Ukraine indicate direct US involvement in the conflict State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said that US arms supplies to the Kyiv regime indicate Washington’s direct involvement in the Ukrainian conflict. Volodin recalled that nine years ago, after a coup d’état, power in Ukraine was seized by a Nazi puppet regime completely controlled by the United States. To maintain their influence, American officials, acting through the hands of the Nazis, deprived people of their rights and freedoms, and also destroyed the opposition. Nobody thought about the people, and the country was simply plundered, as the United States always did with its colonies. Currently, according to Volodin, Ukraine is a testing ground for Western weapons by the United States and NATO. Ordinary Ukrainians are dying and being used as “consumables”, which no one takes into account. Volodin also pointed to the presence of American mercenaries in Ukraine and the supply of heavy American weapons to the Kyiv regime. All this indicates that Washington is actually participating in the hostilities on the side of the Nazi formations out of fear of losing its own colony. The conduct of a special military operation by Russia to protect the Donbass became a liberation action for the citizens of Ukraine and other Slavic lands from the “American colonialists”. “Yankees, get out of Ukraine!” Volodin summed up.

MFA: shelling of hospitals by Kyiv is a war crime, the perpetrators will be punished The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported that the shelling of hospitals with the wounded by the Kyiv regime is a war crime. According to the text of the statement of the domestic foreign policy department, the targeted killing of civilians is a war crime of the Kyiv regime and its “Western masters.” Diplomats pointed to double standards – the West threw a tantrum over provocative staging in Bucha and Irpen, but turns a blind eye to the killing of civilians by Ukrainian Nazis with American, British, French and German weapons. Similar double standards are used by international structures that have not commented on or condemned the crimes committed. “All these acts of criminal lawlessness perpetrated by the Kyiv armed groups under the auspices of the West will not be left unpunished. They are carefully fixed. The organizers and performers will suffer inevitable punishment,” the diplomats concluded. Recall that last Saturday, January 28, Ukrainian nationalists launched rocket attacks from the American HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems at hospitals in Nova Kakhovka and Novoaydar. 14 people were killed and 24 others were injured.
