On March 6, the UN International Court begins the consideration of the lawsuit of Ukraine against Russia. The accusations concern the events in the Crimea and the Donbass, the formal basis for claims give international conventions to combat discrimination and terrorism. Ukraine insists that the court take “warning measures” - urgently, even before consideration of the case on the merits, and ordered Russia to “immediately terminate the supply of weapons and other resources” to the Donbass, engaged in separatists (officially the Russian support for separatists denies). The Ukrainian authorities also promise to submit in court “evidence of the crimes of Russia”.

Theoretically, the court may make a decision binding on the UN Charter. The lawsuit was drawn up in such a way as not to leave Moscow to avoid proceedings. But in practice, it can still be disrupted for formal reasons. We remind you - how Russia threatens this trial.

Where are the money subscribers going

Most Republic materials are available by paid subscription. We believe that this is a good way to finance media. After all, as you know, if you have not paid for reading it, then someone else paid for you to read it. In our case, everything is honest: from your money, salaries and fees are paid to journalists, and they write about important and interesting topics for you.

The key feature of our subscription: your money is distributed between Republic magazines depending on how you read it. If you read the materials of one magazine, then your money will go only to him, while others will not go. That is, you finance only what you are interested in.

Republic uses the Redefine.media subscription. For design, we will redirect you to the Redefine.media website, where you will need to register and pay for the subscription. Authorization on the Redefine.Media website will allow you to read Republic materials from the same device.

A year subscription is more profitable than a month. And if you want to unsubscribe, this can always be done in your personal account.
