Russian subsidiary of Bank of China stopped accepting payments from Russian banks, Russian Kommersant media reported.

From June 24, the Russian branch will stop processing payments in yuan from Russian banks on the U.S. sanctions list. The bank will work only with credit organizations that have not fallen under U.S. restrictions.

The decision to halt transactions with sanctioned banks is attributed to fears of secondary sanctions from the United States.

Here it is as a news report. Russia's deserters

🕯 Ukrainian choreographer Anton Smetsky died at the front.

"We must continue to fight, because no one will replace us - people do not want to join the army."

🟠 "To recognize a Palestinian state today would be to recognize terrorism," said Jordan Bardella, leader of the far-right party in France ahead of Sunday's elections, and who may become the next prime minister. When asked about the war in Gaza, Bardella estimated that France's position since "all the time", supporting the two-state solution, "became obsolete immediately following the Hamas attack" on October 7. "To recognize a Palestinian state today as we speak would be to recognize terrorism and it would be to recognize political legitimacy for an organization whose charter states to destroy the State of Israel," he said.

At the request of the families, please, watch and share the video of the kidnapping of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Or Levy, and Eliya Cohen.

It is impossible to even imagine the hell they have been enduring for 8 months.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces' drone raids on russian refineries have reached a new level and could lead to a crisis at the front and in the domestic oil products market - MO

On Friday night, judging by the announcement of the destruction of 120 UAVs by the Ministry of Attack (12 more than the previous record on May 17), the most massive drone attack of the AFU since the start of the war took place. Two oil depots in Adygea and Tambov region were hit and set on fire. On Thursday night, the Afipsky oil refinery near Krasnodar was attacked.

Until now more than 20 oil depots have already been damaged by shelling. According to The Insider's calculations damage had been caused to 15% of the total capacity of refineries.

For now, the state is compensating for the damage to oil producers, in 2023, it was 1.14 trillion rubles. But as damages are mounting the budget funds may not be enough. “There may be a sharp jump in prices at gas stations.” Gasoline production data got hidden since May 2024.
