News of the Day: Attack in Bryansk and New EU Deportation Rules
In today's issue: a tragedy in the Bryansk region due to shelling, new rules for the deportation of migrants in Europe, and changes in the ownership structure of major Russian gold deposits. Additionally, Indonesia has confirmed its plans to purchase Russian oil.
A woman was killed in the Bryansk region as a result of an attack from Ukraine. The incident was reported by the acting governor of the region, Egor Kovalchuk. State Duma deputy Alexander Bogomaz expressed his condolences to the relatives of the deceased.
The son of Nikolai Patrushev, one of Russia's influential officials, has acquired a stake in one of Russia's largest promising gold deposits. Andrey Patrushev purchased this asset against the backdrop of a "gold boom" — a sharp rise in the price of the precious metal and the active sell-off of reserves.
The European Parliament has approved new rules for the deportation of people who do not have the right to stay in the European Union. Now, migrants can be sent to special centers outside the EU to await decisions on their cases. Simultaneously, it has become known in the US that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is bypassing court bans on access to migrants' personal data by purchasing the necessary information from private data brokers.
Indonesia will continue to import Russian oil. The country's Ministry of Energy confirmed that purchases will continue even if new shipping routes are opened. Experts also note that Russia plays a key role in resolving the energy crisis in ASEAN countries — an organization that brings together Southeast Asian nations.
