 Court ordered Trump to pay $454 million to file a appeal he decided to negotiate. The New York Appeals Court has ordered Donald Trump to pay $454.2 million if he intends to file a counter-appeal in a civil lawsuit for financial fraud. However, his lawyers have stated that Trump has decided to negotiate and has offered only $100 million according to CNN. According to Trump's lawyers, he wants to appeal the decision made by New York Judge Arthur N. Goron on February 16, which, among other things, prohibits the former president from holding executive positions in any New York state company or taking out loans from banks registered in his state for three years. However, to file an appeal, a bond in the full amount awarded by the court must be posted within a month. Otherwise, the New York State Attorney General's office has the right to collect these funds at any time. In the lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James, which led to Judge N. Goron's decision, Trump and his family business were accused of inflating his net worth by $3.6 billion annually for 10 years to deceive banks and obtain better loan terms. The judge did not revoke Trump's business licenses which, according to some experts, could have effectively ended his business empire. However, he imposed a fine of $354.9 million on Trump and, last week, this amount including a crude interest reached $454.2 million. Trump's lawyers stated that a $100 million bond, as well as ongoing oversight of the Trump organization by a court-appointed observer, would be more than sufficient to secure the court's decision. Donald Trump faces over 90 criminal charges in several cases, including the payment of $130,000 to pawn actress Stormy Daniels, an attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, unlawful disclosure of classified information after leaving office and more. On February 16, 2024, a New York court ordered Donald Trump to pay over $350 million. He was found guilty of deliberate financial fraud over 10 years. The judge also prohibited Trump from holding executive positions or direct to ships in any New York corporation for three years. Additionally, Trump may face civil liability for the actions of participants in the January 6, 2021 capital riot. Russia developed a new weapon to shoot down U.S. and European missiles. The Russian military conducted tests of the S-500 Prometheus air defense system, which they claim is capable of shooting down hypersonic targets, reports Defense Express. Supposedly, during these tests, the S-500 system demonstrated the ability to shoot down hypersonic aerial targets. As an example, they cite prospective Western hypersonic missiles, combat units of intercontinental ballistic missiles or guided warheads, as well as short-range ballistic missiles. Russia claims that such capabilities of the S-500 were supposedly confirmed during the launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile from the Tula nuclear-powered submarine of the Russian Northern Fleet, which was launched in the Laptev Sea. Russian authorities attribute the successful destruction of targets to powerful radars, electronic computing systems, and highly maneuverable anti-aircraft missiles. Among publicly available information, it is noted that the Russian anti-aircraft missile system is a new generation of anti-aircraft missile systems, which are expected to apply the principle of separate resolution of tasks for the destruction of ballistic and aerodynamic targets. As early as 2021, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov claimed that the S-500 system was allegedly in serial production. There are also plans to develop a naval version of the promising S-500 anti-aircraft missile system, including for installation on the Storm aircraft carrier project. Previously, a representative of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Major General Vadim Skibitsky, stated that during the war, Russia transferred air defense systems from the Far East and the Northern region to Moscow and the occupied Crimea. However, the power of defense does not always correspond to the aggressor's statements. The representative of the military intelligence reported that the most powerful complex they have in service is the S-400, but even it is not entirely perfect. There are cases when their equipment fails. The well-known Panzea also misses our aircraft, which ultimately reach their targets, he added. Russians constructed 30 kilometer defense line with 2,000 railway cars. The Russians built a 30 kilometer line of defense from more than 2,000 railway cars. This was reported by Deep State Analytical Community. The continuous construction stretches along the branch line from the railway station in Olenivka to Volnovaka and has about 2,100 wagons of various types. It is reported that the construction of this massive defensive line began in July 2023. For its construction, apparently, rolling stock was used stolen from the temporarily occupied territories. Such a defensive structure, which in fact represents a solid wall, is a very serious obstacle in the way of advancing troops. Given that some sections of the railway track are built with a high roadbed, such a defensive line is a full-fledged defensive shaft. It is possible to overcome it only after large-scale engineering works, disengagement of wagons, removal from tracks, or movement to another place. However, these engineering works will be accompanied by the counteraction of the Russians. In addition to problems for Ukrainian troops, such a line of defense also creates problems for the Russians themselves. Logistics for advanced positions can be difficult due to an obstacle. In addition, such a barrier creates an obstacle to maneuver. This is a very specific engineering structure, the effectiveness of which is difficult to assess. The idea is clear, an obstacle to the advancement of the defense forces. It can be considered as a separate line of defense because it is extremely difficult to damage, move or blow up a 30 kilometer mass of metal, and the movement of equipment through such a blockage without breaking through the corridor is impossible, writes the Deep State team. This is not the first time the Russians have built huge engineering barriers as part of a full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war. In April 2023, it became known that the Russians built a solid 70 kilometer anti-tank ditch in Zaporizia, which stretched from the village of Semenivka to the village of Marinovka.
