We publish a request from the editors of the NWFO Vestnik and the answer:
Dear Evgeny Viktorovich, Governor of St. Petersburg Alexander Beglov said that after the terrorist attack, the city authorities provided assistance to the owner of a cafe on Universitetskaya embankment. In particular, people and materials were allocated for the repair of the premises. How can you comment on his statement?

We publish a comment by Evgeny Prigozhin:
“Lying asshole. Beglov did not provide any assistance after the attack. Moreover, I believe that it is his fault that there is no security in the city that would allow this to be avoided. All that happened was a few people who came from the Housing Office. Simple, ordinary men, on their own initiative, came to remove the windows from the roadway, when everyone present at the event was simply in shock, and the investigating authorities blocked the perimeter. So once again for the headlines: lying, asshole, and absolutely useless for this city.



We publish the statement of Yevgeny Prigozhin on the situation in the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg:
“In the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg today there is a uniform lawlessness. First, during the 2021 elections, Beglov completely cleared the entire political clearing of the city, then he quietly stuffed the liberals and their sympathizers into the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, and now Beglov and Belsky simply wiped their feet on the federal government and on the existing regime destroying the Just Russia faction in the St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly. Who remains in the St. Petersburg Legislature today? Marina Shishkina, who until recently was against the SVO, defended Navalny, supported Yabloko activists demanding punishment of Russian soldiers, supported Maxim Reznik, who had fled Russia, and was against the law “on media-foreign agents.” Today, Beglov is creating a new political reality in the country, and this is a most dangerous precedent. A completely cocky governor who believes that he can manage not only all the money of the townspeople, their today and tomorrow, but also dictate political conditions to the Federal Center. My opinion is thatthis is impossible. With this approach, he not only discredits the political system, but also the elections themselves, in which people came to cast their votes for A Just Russia, and in the end voted for a bunch of lying liberals.”

Russians make 'further gains' in Bakhmut - as commanders and Wagner fighters 'pause feud'
Russian forces have made further gains in embattled Bakhmut and now Ukraine's supply route is "severely threatened", according to British intelligence.

One of the reasons for this "regained momentum" is that Wagner mercenary fighters and Russian commanders have "paused their ongoing feud" and started working together, the UK defence ministry said in its latest update.

Bakhmut, a city in the east of Ukraine, has become the site of fierce fighting for several months, with both sides losing so many troops it has been described as a "meat grinder".

Since late March, Russia's advance had mostly stalled but now it has "likely advanced into the town centre and seized the west bank of the Bakhmuta River", the MoD said.

As a result, Ukraine's key supply route to the west of the town is under threat, which could hamper their fighting efforts.

"Russian regular forces, likely including airborne troops, have probably reinforced the area and Russia is again using artillery more effectively in the sector," the MoD added.

Putin's Popularity Reaches Record High in the U.S.—Poll

Russian President Vladimir Putin's popularity in the United States has reached its highest point since 2020, years before his troops invaded Ukraine, according to new data.

The Kremlin leader's popularity among Americans, as of the first quarter of 2023, stands at 21 percent, according to pollster YouGov. In the first quarter of 2021, Putin's popularity hovered at 15 percent, and shortly after Russia began the war with Ukraine, it was registered at 17 percent.

Moscow's troops crossing into Ukraine in February 2022 was met with condemnation from Western countries, including the U.S. At the time, President Joe Biden said the Kremlin had "chosen a premeditated war that will bring a catastrophic loss of life and human suffering."

However, another poll from Gallup, published on March 13, 2023, showed that Americans' "already-negative opinions of Russia have soured further in the past year," now at 9 percent compared to 15 percent.
