Turkey to offer Russia and Ukraine "Hong Kong model" of peace

Turkey promotes the so-called "Hong Kong model" of reconciliation, under which Russia is offered to receive the territories of Donetsk, Luhansk and the Crimean peninsula for "long-term use". The Moscow-based Institute of the Middle East, which provides expert analytical services to Russian government agencies on Middle Eastern issues, writes about it.

"Russian business is being flooded with money". MP urged to save Kazakh producers

Mazhilis deputy Amanzhan Zhamalov said that after the introduction of sanctions to develop import substitution Russian business is flooded with money.

Another import substitution policy has been adopted. Preferential financing is being increased. Russian business is literally being flooded with money. On the one hand, it is good for the Kazakhstani people who will be able to buy cheap Russian goods.

All of them will suffer from growing Russian imports," Zhamalov pointed out in a parliamentary request to the prime minister. The MP noted that most Kazakhstani businesses have loans. If they lose market and income, they will inevitably go bankrupt.
