She is cleverly using the total silence from the CDU today after what happened in Saxony-Anhalt. That was epochal today, the local CDU members openly voting with AFD & BSW to confirm the Speaker and his deputies in the local Parliament. 4 members in total, the rift runs right through the CDU.

“The new rules for determining the tax base will be retroactive; they are proposed to apply to legal relationships that arose from January 1, 2023.” It’s October 2026!
It is also specified that the payment or transfer of funds and other assets means the payment of funds from the organizer's bank account in the unified center for accounting of transfers of bookmakers' and totalizators' bets, to the participants' bank accounts opened in this center, or by increasing the balances of electronic funds on the participants' electronic means of payment.

‼️ Russia: “The average maximum interest rate on ruble deposits at the ten largest banks exceeded 13% per annum for the first time in four months.” 🍿 www.kommersant.ru/doc/8972577

Investors were lured by the interest rate
The average maximum interest rate on citizens' deposits exceeded 13% per annum.

The average maximum interest rate on ruble deposits at the ten largest banks exceeded 13% per annum for the first time in four months. Credit institutions are gradually increasing the attractiveness of deposits to retain customers and attract new deposits. This is especially true given that individual account balances decreased by almost 1 trillion rubles over the summer months. Bankers expect deposit yields to increase, as the Central Bank is unlikely to resume its accelerated key rate reduction anytime soon.

“"There's no real alternative. Deposit yields are falling. What else is left? Funds are also at a low. Bonds? They're defaulting. Western markets are blocked for us. The only thing left is gold.””
Moreover, a new batch usually sells out within two to three days of release. The price of a bar is around 60,000 rubles. This affordability attracts investors, says Alexey Vyazovsky, Vice President of the Zolotaya Plata company:

"There's no real alternative. Deposit yields are falling. What else is left? Funds are also at a low. Bonds? They're defaulting. Western markets are blocked for us. The only thing left is gold. Students and pensioners are buying it. It's up 10% since the beginning of the year, even more than deposits. And gold has tripled in price in five years.

Russia is erecting metal frames and nets around oil refineries as passive protection against drone attacks. The nets are designed to trigger incoming drones at a distance from critical equipment, reducing the effects of the blast wave and fragments. Even basic structures may partially limit damage.
