Citizens of four European Union member countries—Italy, Slovakia, Latvia, and Malta—are heading to the polls today to elect their members in the European Parliament.
Twenty other member countries, including Germany, France, and Poland, will cast their votes on Sunday, which will be the fourth and last day of the election.
The number of each country’s representatives in the 720-member parliament is determined according to their population.
Russian Presidential aide Nikolay Patrushev announced that President Vladimir Putin signed the draft strategy for the development of the Russian Navy through 2050.
Patrushev stated that the final draft was signed on May 30, following its preparation by the Ministry of Defense and revision by the Maritime Board. The strategy incorporates proposals from various federal institutions and organizations. The initiative was launched after a Kremlin meeting in July 2024.
