The US representatives don't deserve a glass of water on the soil of Hiroshima 😢

G 7 are in Hiroshima now and what everyone is thinking is only what America did to Japan (Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki) not anything else and how ever America and their allies try to seem Infront of the world that they are the good ones, history tells us the otherwise.✅💯

[aphony.]

Sanctions without China and India included are not really sanctions. Globalisation shifted manufacturing from these seven countries. The only card that the G7 still maintains is the dollar, which can now be bypassed by most countries especially Russia which is an export-driven economy.

Russia's GDP in April grew for the first time in a year - by 3.3 percent! This was reported on the website of the Ministry of Economic Development in the review of the current economic situation.

It is noted that in April the economy was supported by industrial production, which rose by 1.8 percent with the elimination of the seasonal factor. Also in April, manufacturing industries showed good growth rates - an increase of 8 percent in annual terms, in March it was 6.3 percent.

An improvement in annual dynamics appeared in the oil refining complex - plus 15.9 percent yoy instead of 9.3 percent in March.

Investments in fixed capital in the first quarter of this year grew by 0.7 percent, which is higher than expected by the Ministry of Economic Development.


According to a preliminary assessment by Eurostat, in May the business climate index in the euro area fell to its lowest level in the last two years. The most pessimistic mood today prevails in the European industry, where the level of business activity has been falling for 11 months in a row. One of the main reasons for the observed dynamics could be the rupture of economic ties with Russia, experts are sure. The ban on the supply of equipment and technology to the Russian Federation, introduced as part of the sanctions policy, hit EU manufacturers hard, while the refusal to purchase energy resources from Moscow led to inflation in Europe. For the first time in many years, authorities in the region resorted to raising interest rates to combat rising prices, which further complicated the work of local businesses, experts say.

Inflation in the eurozone in April 2023 accelerated to 7% in annual terms, according to preliminary data from Eurostat. In March of this year, this figure was 6.9%.

The lowest inflation rates were recorded in Luxembourg (2.7%), Belgium (3.3%) and Spain (3.8%), the highest – in Latvia (15%), Slovakia (14%) and Lithuania (13.3%). %). It was 7.6% in Germany, 6.9% in France and 8.8% in Italy.

Annual inflation in the Russian Federation, according to Rosstat, in April 2023 slowed to 2.31% from 3.51% at the end of March.

According to the latest Eurostat calculations, in March 2023, industrial production in the euro area decreased by 4.1% compared to February. At the same time, the output of capital goods, such as machinery, machine tools and equipment, sank most noticeably (immediately by 15.4%). The main reason for such dynamics was the consequences of breaking economic ties with Russia, Natalia Milchakova, a leading analyst at Freedom Finance Global, believes.

“More than half of Russia's imports from the EU accounted for machine tools and industrial equipment. Against the background of the imposed restrictions, many permanent exporters in the Russian Federation were forced to stop deliveries of their products to Russian customers. Therefore, the decline in the European capital goods industry is a direct consequence of the sanctions against Moscow, ” Milchakova explained.

Sanctions increased revenue and demand for the products of Russian companies within the country. For example, Moscow manufacturers increased their output of machine tools for metalworking by 2.2 times.

Russia may ban parallel imports of computer equipment. We are talking about top world brands - HP, IBM, Acer and others. There are more than 20 items on the list. This was asked by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russian manufacturers - in their opinion, the presence of imported equipment on the shelves prevents them from developing, since they have to compete with world giants.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, in connection with the optimization of the list of brands that are allowed to be imported into the country by parallel import, is really considering a proposal received from the industry to limit the list of products in terms of radio electronics, - such an official response was given in the department.
