Russian tourists to Finland greeted with Ukrainian anthem

August 14, 2022 by newsinfo.inquirer.net

Tourists gather on the bridge over the Vuoksi river near The Imatra Rapids in Imatra, Finland, on August 12, 2022. AFP LAPPEENRANTA, Finland — A crowd of people gathers in the Eastern Finnish city of Imatra on a bridge overlooking Imatrankoski rapids, one of the Nordic country’s most well-known natural attractions. At the same time every day, the river’s almost century-old dam is opened and water rushes under the bridge, to the sound of music by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. It is a popular attraction especially for Russian tourists. Even Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia, visited Imatrankoski in 1772. But since the end of July, the city of Imatra has started the show by playing the Ukrainian national anthem, to protest the Russian invasion. Finland, which shares 1,300-kilometer (800-mile) eastern border with Russia, is also preparing to limit tourist visas issued for Russians. “This is bad for the Russians who love Finland,” says Mark Kosykh, a 44-year-old Russian … [Read more...] about Russian tourists to Finland greeted with Ukrainian anthem

Editors Daily Rundown: Another Inflation Explosion

July 13, 2022 by dailycaller.com

ANOTHER INFLATION EXPLOSION… CNBC: Inflation rose 9.1% in June, even more than expected, as price pressures intensify Shoppers paid sharply higher prices for a variety of goods in June as inflation kept its hold on a slowing U.S. economy, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday. The consumer price index, a broad measure of everyday goods and services, soared 9.1% from a year ago, above the 8.8% Dow Jones estimate. That marked another month of the fastest pace for inflation going back to December 1981. Excluding volatile food and energy prices, so-called core CPI increased 5.9%, compared to the 5.7% estimate. On a monthly basis, headline CPI rose 1.3% and core CPI was up 0.7%, compared to respective estimates of 1.1% and 0.5%. Taken together, the numbers seemed to counter the narrative that inflation may be peaking, as the gains were based across a variety of categories.

Saudi billionaire made US$500 million Russia bet near war’s onset

August 15, 2022 by www.theedgemarkets.com

- A + A (Aug 15): Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal invested more than US$500 million in Russian firms in the days around Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. Prince Alwaleed’s investment firm, Kingdom Holding Co., acquired depositary receipts issued by Gazprom PSJC, Lukoil PJSC and Rosneft PJSC in February, according to a stock exchange filing. Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24. No specific dates for the investments were given, and the Saudi firm didn’t respond to questions about whether it still owned them. The value of all those depositary receipts dropped rapidly after the war began, when trading in Moscow was halted and western sanctions were imposed on Russia. Alwaleed, whose grandfather was the founder of modern Saudi Arabia, is one of the country’s richest men and most high profile international investors. More recently he has been eclipsed by the kingdom’s sovereign wealth fund, chaired by his cousin, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, which acquired a … [Read more...] about Saudi billionaire made US$500 million Russia bet near war’s onset
