Putin Orders FSB to Vet Ships Entering Russia Ports After Blasts

Bloomberg6 days ago
President Vladimir Putin has tightened rules for ships entering Russian sea ports from abroad, giving the nation's main security service a bigger role following a series of mysterious blasts on oil tankers.
Starting July 21, the entry of vessels coming from foreign sea terminals is only possible with permission from a port captain, as agreed upon with the Federal Security Service, or FSB, according to a presidential decree published on Monday. The document was signed in accordance with Russia's martial-law regulation.

Russia's Egorian wins world fencing gold as neutral athlete

Russia's two-time Olympic sabre champion Yana Egorian, competing under a neutral banner, was on Sunday crowned fencing world champion amid protests in Tbilisi. Egorian defeated Poland's Zuzanna Cieslar 15-11 in the final in the Georgian capital. The 31-year-old, who won both the individual and team titles at the 2016 Rio Olympics, won her first world championship individual gold medal. Egorian is among the Russian and Belarusian fencers allowed to compete under a neutral banner, despite being a member of CSKA Moscow, a club historically linked to the Russian military. On Sunday, dozens of demonstrators gathered in front of the Olympic Palace in Tbilisi to protest at the participation of fencers from both countries, some of whom "are military personnel", protesters told the Interpressnews agency. In July, the International Fencing Federation (IFF) decided to simplify its procedure for granting Neutral Individual Athlete (NIA) status, allowing the return of certain fencers who had been excluded from competition following the Kremlin's Ukraine offensive. That decision sparked debate both before and during the world championships. In the other final of the day, Japan's Koki Kano, Olympic epee champion in Paris, won the title, defeating Hungary's Gergely Siklosi. lve/jde/ea/gj
