WORLDOct 15Leaving Russia doesn’t necessarily mean leaving trouble behind. Fortunately, help is out there: Meduza has compiled a list of organizations that support Russians abroad.Life abroad is full of challenges. Along with learning unfamiliar laws and customs, studying a language, and building a network from scratch, Russians abroad need to be ready to defend their rights — for example, if a bank unfairly freezes their account or authorities deny them documents. (Problems with documents are becoming more common as countries around the world tighten immigration rules.) Many emigrants feel they’re entirely on their own. That’s not quite true. Meduza has selected several initiatives and organizations that help Russians who have left the country or want to leave.Meduza [en]

POLITICSOct 15EU criticizes Trump's diesel deal with Putin, but still imports Russian gas itselfDe dieseldeal die de Amerikaanse president Donald Trump afgelopen week sloot met Rusland leverde hem in binnen- en buitenland felle kritiek op. Ook van Europese leiders, terwijl de EU zelf nog altijd voor miljarden aan Russisch gas importeert. Hoe zit dat precies? Rusland gaat per direct 300.000 ton diesel op de wereldmarkt brengen. Tot aan april volgend jaar kan dat oplopen tot 4,8 miljoen ton. Om dit te regelen, heeft Trump sancties opgeheven die hij minder dan een maand geleden nog zelf instelde. Landen die Russische olie en gas kochten, riskeerden daardoor hoge Amerikaanse importheffingen.NOS Buitenland
