August 9. Washington introduces “dragon” sanctions against the Russian Federation because of the Skripals case

Briefly about sanctions

The State Department announced that the United States will impose new sanctions against Russia-this time due to the poisoning of the Skripals. The Foreign Ministry calls the restrictions "dragon" andpromises a mirror response. Exchange in panic, the Aeroflot sharesare collapsing (against the backdrop of rumors that companies will be banned from flying to the States) and the Russian currency - the Central Bank raises the euro at once three rubles. And the deputy Irina Yarovaya, meanwhile, comes up with (no, fortunately, not new laws) elegant puns about the "newcomer".

And a little more about any other

About Belarus. There, for the third day in a row, pressure on journalists of independent publications has been continuing - on absolutely far -fetched accusations of theft of news from the state. Today, the editor-in-chief of the large independent agency Belapan, Irina Levshina, was detained -she became the 16th person involved in the investigation.

Not a word about Belarus. Maria Alekhina was still able to leave Russia , despite the ban on the exit, which was imposed on it because of the ineffected compulsory work for protest promotions. How and where she managed to sit on the plane can only guess.

About the GTA gang. The Moscow Regional Court sentenced five gang members , who killed 17 drivers several years ago in the Moscow and Kaluga regions. Four accused received life sentences, another will spend 20 years in the colony.

Not a word about GTA. Rockstar Games, producing GTA, showed the long -awaited gameplay of its new Western Red Dead Redemption II. The six -minute video describes the gameplay and tells about the protagonist of the new part (it will be the prequel of the first Red Dead Redemption). The game itself will be released on October 26.

And finally - Jason Steetem

Today, the film “Meg: Monster of the Depth” with Jason Stetyem in the title role is released in the Russian rental. Before going to the cinema, we invite you to check if you distinguish the films where the actor played: look at the nine photos of the stream with a gun and guess what paintings they are from .

Go to the cinema on the Statem, it is cool. Grisha Levchenko
