The changes will affect the sick leave that was issued for children under eight years old. In this case, the amount of payment will be 100 percent of the average earnings.

“It will no longer depend on the length of work, as it is provided now, which is especially important for young moms and dads who have not yet had time to gain work experience,” the Prime Minister stressed.

Mishustin added that these changes will not fall on the shoulders of employers: the increased payments will go directly from the Social Insurance Fund (FSS). The Cabinet of Ministers has allocated one billion rubles for these purposes.

The head of the government also stressed that parents will not have to issue additional documents for receiving payments: all calculations will be made by the FSS on the basis of the sick leave data.

At the beginning of the month, Mishustin signed a decree on the procedure and conditions for the appointment and payment of monthly benefits to pregnant women and single parents with children.

The document will affect pregnant women who find themselves in a difficult financial situation and are registered in the early stages of pregnancy, as well as parents raising children aged 8 to 17 years and having a low income alone.

The average amount of payments should be 6,350 rubles for pregnant women and 5,650 rubles for single parents.

Due to the actions of the Belarusian leadership, the flow of migrant refugees to Lithuania has increased 13 times, the Danish portal Berlingske reports. Minsk recently introduced a visa-free regime for up to five days. Since the beginning of June, 1,350 illegal immigrants have crossed the Lithuanian border, although there were less than a hundred of them for the whole of 2020. And this is just the beginning.

These actions of Alexander Lukashenko are considered as revenge for the sanctions imposed after the incident with the plane in which Roman Protasevich was. “We will never keep anyone: they are not coming to us. They are going to an enlightened, warm, cozy Europe, ” the Belarusian president said some time ago.

“The last week has been difficult. We were not ready, we have never faced this before, ” said the head of the refugee reception center, Beatrice Bernotene. She doesn’t even know what will happen if the flow becomes more intense.

It is emphasized that in one day Belarus set its own record by transporting 150 illegal immigrants to Lithuania. Many of them are from Iraq and Turkey. There were several waves. One was dominated by Iraqi Kurds, the other by Africans, mainly from the Congo. Recently, the flow from Afghanistan has increased. Few of them intend to stay in Lithuania, theythey plan to move on-mainly to the countries of Western Europe. That is, Lukashenka decided to make migrants his weapon against the EU.

We also noticed an increase in the migration flow in Poland – 89 illegal immigrants who crossed the border were arrested there in a few days. As for Lithuania, Danish Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod called it a “frontline zone”.

The Belarusian authorities intend to use the opposition leader Roman Protasevich for anti-Russian activities, the Telegram channel “Minsk Semiboyarshchyna” reports. They intend to use him as a blogger and a “talking head”. To do this, they created comfortable conditions for him: he lives with his girlfriend Sofia Sapega in a house near Minsk, three political strategists work with him in addition to the KGB employees.

The creation of a list of journalists who will work together with Protasevich is also being completed. “In general, only anti-Russian rhetoric is expected from Protasevich. In this regard, great hopes are pinned on Sapieha,” the publication says. It turns out that the Kremlin will be in a very uncomfortable position, since it previously defended Sapieha when she fell into the hands of the Belarusian security forces.

It is emphasized that the authorities intend to use Protasevich to divide the Belarusian opposition. There are many activists who were rejected by protest leaders, and Protasevich will work with them. In addition, his actions will be a kind of defense against accusations from the West. “To push through another” large-scale package of sanctions” when Protasevich with”pink cheeks” broadcasts from a cottage near Minsk and “pours mud” on Moscow, it will be extremely difficult for the EU and the US,” the article says.

All this is happening in conditions when there are problems with accreditation for the Russian media in Belarus. Direct cable broadcasting of Russian TV channels is also prohibited – they must pass the Belarusian filter.

The United States will use the so-called “ghost ships” – unmanned vessels, to confront Russia and China at sea, according to the Strategy Page portal. It is noted that the development of such vessels takes place within the framework of the Ghost Fleet Overlord project.

The United States has already tested two similar ships-Nomad and Ranger. The displacement of each of them is approximately 2 thousand tons. “Both vessels made an unmanned trip, covering a path of about 8000 kilometers from the Gulf of Mexico to the west coast,” the material says.

98% of the journey time, the ship was in autonomous mode. The crew was on duty on board-in case of unforeseen circumstances during the tests. The US intends to use these vessels in the Pacific Ocean, where China’s sea power is increasing. The ships will perform reconnaissance and anti-submarine tasks. They will also have weapons that allow them to strike at the enemy, and take-off and landing pads for aircraft.

It is emphasized that such technologies have previously been tested on tankers and container ships, and they have already taken root. “Most of the time, these ships sail autonomously, and a small crew is responsible only for maintenance and quick solution of problems with equipment,” the article notes.

Also, similar technologies are used by Israel, which has created an unmanned Seagull boat (“Seagull”), designed to combat mines and reconnaissance. The Americans are going to cooperate with the Israelis in this area to exchange experience.
