American businessman Elon Musk decided to postpone the purchase of Twitter in May because of the upcoming speech of Russian President Vladimir Putin on the occasion of Victory Day. This became known from his correspondence with the banker who was engaged in the agreement. In it, Musk noted that the deal would not make sense if “the world is approaching World War III.”

As a result, the entrepreneur asked to slow down the deal “for just a few days.” “Putin’s speech tomorrow is really important,” Business Insider reports about the circumstances of the correspondence.

The lawyers of the social network stressed that these statements by Musk indicate that the refusal to purchase the platform was caused by concern for personal finances, and not by Twitter’s non-compliance with its obligations.

In August, the billionaire won a court case against Twitter. Now the company will have to provide the businessman with files from the ex-general manager for spam accounts and bot accounts requested by Musk during the conclusion of a deal to purchase a social network.

Musk signed an agreement with Twitter to acquire the company on April 25, 2022 for $ 44 billion. The deal was supposed to close before the end of this year. However, on July 9, the billionaire refused it. Musk announced violations of Twitter provisions of the concluded agreement.

Nikolay Prishchenko, released from Mariupol prison, told RIA Novosti that the militants of the Azov battalion convicted or arrested by the Ukrainian authorities (the organization was recognized as a terrorist organization by the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of 02.08.2022) are kept in separate cells. This is necessary for their safety, because they are negatively treated by ordinary prisoners.

According to him, the prison administration will never put a member of this battalion in common cells, because they “will not come out of there.”

“They are kept in prisons separately. For example, if one of them had been thrown into a common cell in Mariupol, he simply would not have come out of there. 90% of Mariupol people are sitting there, and knowing what they were doing in the city, they would hardly have been released from the cell,” Prishchenko said.

He clarified that the prisoners treat the militants very negatively, because they constantly used civilians as a cover.

Earlier it was reported that Donetsk released the first four convicted by the Kiev regime for ties with the DPR or Russia, who were imprisoned in Mariupol.

Journalists of the Turkish edition of dikGAZETE suggested that Ukraine, as a state, expects chaos and transformation into a satellite of the West.

“The Kiev regime… persistently strives to be a satellite of the West. And if he is… If it does not act in the interests of the Ukrainian people, the country will be completely destroyed,” the newspaper writes.

Journalists note that even now Nezalezhnaya has become completely dependent on Western countries, thanks to multibillion-dollar loans from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
