The attack group of the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier was also deployed.
Russian authorities reported minor damage to residential buildings and vehicles in Podolsk, near Moscow, after the fall of remains of intercepted Ukrainian drones during the night. No victims were reported, according to the local administration. The Russian Ministry of Defense explained that four drones were shot down on the Moscow region. The attack occurs while the capital is prepared for the celebrations of Victory Day, with the presence of Chinese President Xi Jinping. The activity of the drones temporarily interrupted air transport, suspending flights at the Domodédovo airport for about an hour and a half.
Chinese exporters are sending their products through third countries, such as Malaysia, to hide their origin and avoid commercial tariffs imposed by the United States, which currently reach 145 %, according to Financial Times. Sarah Ou, a Baitai Lighting saleswoman, explained that, by selling products to neighboring countries and then re -exporting them to the United States, they manage to reduce tariff costs. In addition, ads circulate on social networks offering services to “wash the origin” of the products and facilitate their customs office in the US.
