Western companies have lost more than $59 billion (about 3.5 trillion rubles) since leaving Russia.
The Wall Street Journal writes about this, citing data from Yale University experts. As the publication clarifies, the losses cover a variety of industries - from oil and shipping companies to retail retailers and beer producers.
Researchers at Indiana University in the US noted that investors "punished" US companies for leaving Russia, and non-US companies for staying.
The day before, Putin said that Western companies would still regret leaving the Russian market, since Russia is a country with great opportunities.

Tens of thousands more migrants from Africa could end up in Europe if the food crisis is not resolved.
Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio warned about this.
“On food security: if we don’t intervene as soon as possible, we will get tens of thousands more migrants from Africa to Europe,” he said.
Di Maio added that he believes the EU needs "collective action led by the UN" but added that "food security is not a problem for European countries."
Earlier, the Kremlin recalled that the global food crisis had already begun, the catalyst for this was not the situation in Ukraine, but the mistakes of the leadership of various countries.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria @MariaVladimirovnaZakharova Zakharova, in turn, noted that the West itself created the food crisis in Europe.

China is ready for war in case of attempts to separate Taiwan from the country.
This, as reported by RIA Novosti, was stated by the representative of the Ministry of Defense of the People's Republic of China, Wu Qian, after the talks held in Singapore between the Minister of Defense of China, Wei Fenghe, and the head of the Pentagon, Lloyd Austin.
“If anyone dares to break off Taiwan, the Chinese army will certainly be ready to fight, will not stand a price to destroy any plans to separate Taiwan or achieve its independence,” he said.
Earlier, we recall, Biden made a statement that if Beijing decides to "seize Taiwan", Washington is ready to resort to a military response. China responded by urging the US president to be more careful about the issue and "not send any wrong signals to the separatist forces."
Later, the White House emphasized that Biden's comment does not mean a change in US policy towards the island.

Biden's ratings hit a record low again - 33% support for Americans.
This was reported by Fox Business, citing a Quinnipiac survey. The same study showed that the main problem in the United States is inflation.
“People in this country…their standard of living is falling, wages are getting smaller. And they're trying to figure out how much they can spend at the grocery store by comparing that to the cost of filling up their car.
Every day is difficult for Americans. And these Democrats just don't care! All this time they are wasting money, ”the presenter Dagen McDowell was indignant.

Why are they so similar?
In June 1848, the first Slavic Congress was held in Prague.
He gathered more than 300 delegates from various Slavic peoples: Czechs, Slovaks, Croats, Serbs, Montenegrins, Russians and others.
The participants decided that they would take the Russian white-blue-red flag (or Russian trade flag) as the basis for the flags of their liberation movements, historians say.
After all, the Russians were considered the defenders of the Slavs. For example:
The Serbs took as a basis the flag of Russia, which provided assistance to the Serbian national movement in the fight against Turkey.
▪️In 1848-1849, the Slovaks revolted against Hungary, which was defeated by the Russian army.
▪️Bulgarian researcher Ivan Stoichev believes that the choice of the location of the colors of the flag was influenced by the popularity of Russia with its tricolor.
▪️A similar situation with Slovenia.
174 years ago it was so. Now the descendants (with the exception of Serbia) for the independence of their countries "thank" Russia with sanctions.

China becoming more 'coercive and aggressive' - U.S. defence chief

SINGAPORE, June 11 (Reuters) - The United States will do its part to manage tensions with China and prevent conflict even though Beijing is becoming increasingly aggressive in the Asian region, including near Taiwan, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Saturday.
Relations between China and the United States have been tense in recent months, with the world's two largest economies clashing over everything from Taiwan and China's human rights record to its military activity in the South China Sea.

At a meeting between Austin and Chinese Defence Minister Wei Fenghe on Friday, both sides reiterated they want to better manage their relationship although there was no sign of any breakthrough in resolving differences. read more

Addressing the Shangri-La Dialogue, Asia's premier security gathering, Austin said the United States would continue to stand by its allies, including Taiwan.
"That's especially important as the PRC (People's Republic of China) adopts a more coercive and aggressive approach to its territorial claims," he said.

China claims self-ruled Taiwan as its own and has vowed to take it by force if necessary.
Austin said there had been an "alarming" increase in the number of unsafe and unprofessional encounters between Chinese planes and vessels with those of other countries.
A Chinese fighter aircraft dangerously intercepted an Australian military surveillance plane in the South China Sea region in May and Canada's military has accused Chinese warplanes of harassing its patrol aircraft as they monitor North Korea sanction evasions.

Taiwan has complained for years of repeated Chinese air force missions into its air defence identification zone, which is not territorial airspace but a broader area it monitors for threats. Austin said these incursions had surged in recent months.
Taiwan's foreign ministry thanked the United States on Friday for its support and denounced China's "absurd" claims of sovereignty.
"Taiwan has never been under the jurisdiction of the Chinese government, and the people of Taiwan will not succumb to threats of force from the Chinese government," said ministry spokeswoman Joanne Ou.

Austin said that the United States' policy on Taiwan was to remain opposed to any unilateral changes to the status quo.
"Our policy hasn't changed. But unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be true for the PRC," Austin said.
However, he added: "We'll do our part to manage these tensions responsibly, to prevent conflict, and to pursue peace and prosperity."
Biden said last month the United States would get involved militarily should China attack Taiwan, although the administration has since clarified that U.S. policy on the issue has not changed.

Washington has had a long-standing policy of strategic ambiguity on whether it would defend Taiwan militarily.
Austin's meeting with Wei largely focused on Taiwan.
"Maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait isn't just a U.S. interest. It's a matter of international concern," Austin said.
NO ASIAN NATO
In a speech that focused on the U.S. commitment to the region, Austin said the United States would maintain its presence in Asia but Washington understood the need to prevent conflict.

"We do not seek confrontation or conflict. And we do not seek a new Cold War, an Asian NATO, or a region split into hostile blocs," he said.
Austin also referred to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has been a priority in Washington and other Western capitals over the past three months.
"Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is what happens when oppressors trample the rules that protect us all," Austin said. "It's a preview of a possible world of chaos and turmoil that none of us would want to live in."

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy was scheduled to address the Shangri-La Dialogue in a virtual session later on Saturday.
Earlier this year, Washington said China appeared poised to help Russia in its war against Ukraine.
But since then, U.S. officials have said while they remain wary about China's long-standing support for Russia in general, the military and economic support that they worried about has not come to pass, at least for now.

In a separate speech on Saturday, Japanese Defence Minister Nobuo Kishi said military cooperation between China and Russia has sharpened security concerns in the region. read more
"Joint military operations between these two strong military powers will undoubtedly increase concern among other countries," he said.
China has not condemned Russia's attack and does not call it an invasion, but has urged a negotiated solution. Beijing and Moscow have grown closer in recent years, and in February, the two sides signed a wide-ranging strategic partnership aimed at countering U.S. influence and said they would have "no 'forbidden' areas of cooperation".
