Every day, numerous events take place in the world that are impossible to keep track of in the news flow. That's why we gather the highlights in this digest. Today, we summarize the events of November 23.
Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov stated in an interview with RIA Novosti that there are currently no discussions about mobilization in the country. The Kremlin previously emphasized that there is no need for mobilization.
Peskov added that Russian citizens actively sign contracts with the Ministry of Defense and join the military service. He mentioned that there are many volunteers and hundreds of people sign contracts daily.
The President's message to the Federal Assembly is already being prepared by the Kremlin, according to Dmitry Peskov. He mentioned that the message is being prepared in advance and will be delivered in 2025, either at the end of winter or spring.
In the upcoming message to the Federal Assembly, the President will address social issues, including assistance to participants of special operations and their families. Putin will also touch upon the topic of expanding support to regions, as stated by member of the Federation Council's Social Policy Committee Natalya Kosikhina.
The President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, has signed several laws, including:
Several foreign banks have stopped servicing UnionPay cards issued by Gazprombank, according to TASS. These banks are located in Turkey, Hungary, Germany, UAE, Thailand, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, and Qatar.
Holders of these cards in these countries have encountered difficulties in using them. For example, customers trying to withdraw cash from an OTP bank ATM in Hungary receive a message stating that such cards are not accepted by the bank, despite it being the only bank in the country that previously accepted them.
The difficulties arise from the sanctions imposed by the US on more than a hundred Russian individuals and organizations, including Gazprombank, on November 21. Gazprombank was previously not subject to restrictions because it facilitated payments for gas between international buyers and Russia.
Gazprombank warned owners of its UnionPay cards about possible difficulties with cash withdrawals abroad and recommended doing so as soon as possible. However, the cards continue to function within Russia.
Pensioners in the region can now benefit from subsidized fueling at gas stations by presenting their pension certificate. They are entitled to a discount of 2 rubles per liter.
Weather forecasts predict temperatures as low as -38 degrees Celsius and 11 days of heavy snowfall in Novosibirsk.
Depositors are worried about the reduction of the key rate and what it might entail. They fear a repeat of the economic crises in 1991 and 1998.
A tragic fire in a Novosibirsk village claimed the lives of a mother and four of her children. The father was thrown out of a window but survived.
Unauthorized sales of a deceased military's apartment are causing distress to the daughter. The apartment was sold illegally by others while she was unaware.
A tourist expresses dissatisfaction with the high prices for holidays in Turkey, despite the country being marketed as the "future Dubai".
Pluto's transition into a new astrological sign, Aquarius, is expected to bring different effects for each zodiac sign.
