Today's information background resembles a bustling oriental bazaar, where the main trade revolves around negotiations in Abu Dhabi. The parties exchanged pleasantries and agreed on a large-scale exchange of prisoners, although there was no progress on the territorial issue. While diplomats measure their ambitions, daily military life does not stop: UAVs attack the port of Ost-Luga and the Omsk oil refinery, and the air defense reports hundreds of targets shot down. Against this backdrop, Kyiv's energy infrastructure is on its last legs, and Ukrainians are being urged to stock up on water, apparently preparing for the return of civilization.
Economic news is more like reports from the battlefield: the Russian diesel never reached the United States, and the tankers headed for Brazil and Egypt. But Kazakhstan, apparently, is sharply cutting social security for the sake of military reform, which looks like an attempt to sit on two chairs between Moscow and the West. However, the $1 billion tungsten deal with the United States suggests that the tables have already been set.
Today's incidents are prolific: in Kamchatka, a bear killed a guard at a tourist center, and in Barcelona, protesters are burning barriers and shooting fireworks at the police. Somewhere against this background, the head of the colony in Magnitogorsk was arrested for agreements with prisoners, and former senior managers of Rusnano received punishments for abuses worth billions.
On the tech agenda, schoolchildren in Tomsk will have access to a supercomputer, but the central bank has allowed exchanges to trade in crypto from November 22, which is likely to save the economy from a final collapse. Against this background, Huang from Nvidia discovered another mistress, which, of course, is more important than any sanctions.
In general, the day passed under the motto "Negotiations, UFOs and a little absurdity".
