It was noted that the video-conference will be organized jointly with the UN, at the highest level. "There is no great desire on the part of the international community to help Lebanon. The aid must go directly to the Lebanese people" - the agency quoted their source. Earlier the Office of the President of Lebanon reported that the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, sent a message to Michel Aoun, in which he confirmed his intention to hold such video-conference. 3 the Arabian Sea ’The Hindustan Times’ reported while citing their military sources that a carrier-based fighter MiG-29 of the Indian Navy crashed in the Arabian Sea.

The search for the second pilot continues. The causes of the disaster are being investigated. 4 Moldova The current President of Moldova, Igor Dodon, believes that early parliamentary elections should be held in 2021. Dodon said so on the weekly program ’the President replies’ on the social media. That was his reply on the position of the elected head of the country, Maia Sandu, who considers it necessary to disband the Cabinet, which will provoke a dissolution of the parliament. "There is no majority in the parliament. It doesn’t correspond to the choice, made by the citizens in 2019. The legislature should be, and will be, disbanded. I think that in 2021, regardless of everything, there will be early parliamentary elections" - Dodon concluded. 5 Russia - Moldova In response to a statement of the Moldovan President-elect, Maia Sandu, who wants to remove the Russian troops from Transnistria - the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated that the withdrawal of the Russian troops from Transnistria would undermine the peace efforts. "We believe that the statement was made to undermine the efforts to peacefully resolve the Transnistrian problem. The mandate of the peacekeeping operation clearly links the duration of our participation in the operation with the political agreements on the settlement of the conflict. There is still a long way to go" - Zakharova explained and added that thanks to the presence of the peacekeepers in Transnistria - peace and quiet has been preserved for the last 25 years. Zakharova added that the presence of the Russian military is necessary to guard the military warehouses. 6 The EU - Russia The ’TASS’ news agency reported while citing their source in the delegation of 1 of the European countries in the Council of the EU that the EU will extend the sanctions against Russia. It is expected that during the summit on 10th and 11th of December, the leaders of the 27 EU states will take a political decision to extend the economic sanctions against Russia for 6 months. It was reported that the summit will discuss the Minsk negotiations on the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine. "The leaders will make a political decision to extend the sanctions for 6 months since there is no significant progress of their implementation" - the agency quoted their source.
