Southern and Crimean federal districts. Dossier
Crimean-Syrian shipping company has actually been created, a number of technical procedures remain to be sorted out.
This was reported to RIA Novosti by the Deputy Prime Minister of the Crimean Government - Permanent Representative of the Republic of Crimea to Russian President Georgy Muradov.
The day before, the director of the Crimean-Syrian trading house, Sergei Golyandin, said that the first ship would leave for Syria with a cargo of grain in January 2019, and would return, apparently, loaded with olive oil.
As Muradov added, the shipping company will operate on the basis of the Maritime Directorate. The latter previously served as the operating company of the Kerch ferry crossing. Now it remains to determine the composition of the ship fleet, as well as to include representatives of Syria among the founders.
Let us remind you now that in connection with international sanctions, any company, including transport (aviation, sea) involved in transportation to the peninsula “annexed” by Russia, or that decides to start a business there, is subject to sanctions. In particular, transport companies may lose their insurance licenses and may also be prevented from obtaining navigation information. But apparently the Syrians are not very worried about this yet. Moreover, Damascus actually owes its salvation to its Elder Brother (who provided it with military support). Another thing would be what to trade and how to pay for supplies? Syria's war-torn economy is now barely able to meet the needs of even its own population. Not that we are engaged in any serious export deliveries.
Although Syria is essentially a bankrupt country, and the lion's share of the budget goes to the army, Muradov does not lose optimism. According to the Deputy Prime Minister of the Crimean government, Syria is interested in receiving a large number of cargo, in particular rolled metal various types. They are beginning to restore the railways, and the Kerch Metallurgical Plant produces the products necessary for this, including rails and turnouts. There is also adequate logistics infrastructure, including warehouses, loading terminals.
Another question is how are the Syrians going to pay for the supplies? It is obvious that the supply of olive oil alone (and in limited quantities) for settlements, even those carried out by barter, will not be enough. Muradov energetically refutes the assumption that “the Republic of Crimea, with its own money and free of charge, will restore Syria, destroyed by terrorists.” Crimean-Syrian trading house, according to him, will be able to supply to Russia olive oil, citrus fruits, dates, other tropical fruits, early vegetables, cotton fabrics, phosphates.
However, large volumes of deliveries are unlikely. For example, olive oil, which the Syrians, as a sign of gratitude for the invaluable services provided by the Kremlin to the Damascus regime, promise to flood Russia with, is so far produced only in limited quantities compared to pre-war. Factories in agricultural areas are in ruins and require considerable investment to restore.
In the New Year, not only the Christmas tree is lit: for some, everything in terms of fun and madness is lit at this time. Some stars adhere to this style, and on the eve of the holiday they do various loud things, for example, break up with their loved ones or, conversely, get married. And some completely change their country of residence. We have collected for you the craziest acts of world stars.
Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer once admitted in an interview that New Year for her it is a sad holiday. Every year she always gets drunk, even if she doesn’t want to. Lawrence is not only not a fan of the holiday, she literally hates it. Everyone is trying to have a fun night, but for her it's complete disappointment. At first she plans to do nothing, and then a glass of wine appears in her hands from somewhere. As a result, the actress celebrates every New Year drunk.
Britney Spears
Another star who doesn't like New Year. We can say that the New Year is not a holiday at all for this girl. In 2008, on New Year's Eve, it happened huge scandal, during which she refused to give up her joint children to dancer Kevin Federline. A year earlier, the court determined that Britney could see her children only a few hours a week. For her, it was the worst ending to an already terrible year. Tried to sue Spears for money ex-husband, she used drugs and even shaved her head. Finally, she was almost jailed for drunk driving. The scandal broke out just in time for the New Year. Loud quarrel the singer arranged it when Kevin came to pick up the children. The police arrived after neighbors called. She was even given a drug test, but the girl turned out to be “clean.” In January she was admitted to psychiatric clinic with a diagnosis of “temporarily incompetent.”
Kaley Cuoco
On December 31, 2013, Kaley married tennis player Ryan Sweeting. She was sure that marriage on such a day would bring many years of happiness. life together. Unfortunately, Cuoco was wrong. The marriage ended in less than two years. Both spouses asked to respect their privacy and not to ask about the reasons for the separation. However, gossip about Ryan's infidelities still circulated among fans.
Paris Hilton
It's no secret that in New Year's Eve socialite acts as a DJ at social events. For several years she has been pleasing other celebrities and big businessmen with your sets. The girl tried many times in the past to build a career in music. She even has a collaboration with Lil Wayne, and in 2006 her album reached number six on the Billboard list. Many have noticed that Paris likes to make money on New Year's Day. In the heat of the moment, she even announced a dance marathon in Phuket on New Year’s Day, but the event fell through.
Lindsey Lohan
Lohan has long been called a “walking scandal.” There’s so much to this person’s “career”: from drunk driving to public scandals with lover. Last year, the actress again gave reason to talk about herself. She fled to Dubai from the US Internal Revenue Service, which accused her of tax evasion. From there she posted photos from the hot beach, along with the story that the problem with taxes was the fault of her financial manager. However, no matter how much the girl tries to disown the accusations, everyone knows that only she herself is to blame for what is happening. Lindsay returned to her homeland a few months later. Her unusual outfit and excessive thinness immediately caught my eye. In the fall, Lohan was seen in a formal suit, although usually her main attribute was a miniskirt. Perhaps this is her way of trying to convince the public of her innocence, because the problem with the tax authorities has not yet been resolved. However, great doubts remain that she will finally take control of her life.
Will Smith
The actor also decided to get married on New Year's Eve. He was sure that this would bring him happiness in his personal life. It was a man's real dream, and he fulfilled it. His wife was Jada Pinkett. This year, information appeared in the press about the divorce of the acting couple, but Will himself denied it. However, he admitted that he and Jada did break up for a while. The cause of conflict in their family is children. Smith hoped they would continue acting dynasty. His son began acting at the age of eight, and the actor himself often took him to various social events. Jada didn’t like this, she believed that this was not a path for her children and that it would not give them anything good. As a result, the conflict was resolved.
