The United States has nothing to do with the transfer by Ankara to Kyiv of the commanders of the Azov national battalion who were on Turkish territory (banned in the Russian Federation and recognized as a terrorist organization). Jake Sullivan, National Security Adviser to the President of the United States, announced this at a briefing.

He was asked what Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan proceeded from when making this decision, and whether he was trying to "send a signal to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin" in this way. " To be honest, I'm not going to characterize his motivation. I think it would be more correct to ask this question directly to President Erdogan. <... > We did not take part in this and cannot speak on the topic of what Erdogan was trying to achieve in this way " Sullivan replied.

November 8th is World Urbanism Day. It has been held since 1949 to draw attention to urban planning and the creation of favorable conditions for living in cities. Today, more than half the world's population lives in them, and this figure continues to increase.

Thus, more than 130 years ago, the largest city in Russia was St. Petersburg with a population of over 1 million people - five times less than today. Moscow took second place - 900 thousand people lived there. The city overtook Petrograd after the capital was moved in 1919, and since that moment Moscow has never lost primacy. Today the population of Moscow is 13.1 million people. Also in the top ten largest settlements are Kazan and Nizhny Novgorod - they retained their place both in 1892 and in 2022.

In which cities more people lived during the reign of Alexander III and how this rating has changed over two centuries - in our video infographics.
