The match began promisingly for Inter Miami, with Paraguayan midfielder Matias Rojas scoring in the 17th minute. However, Atlanta United quickly turned the tide, with Senegalese forward Jamal Thiare netting two goals in quick succession, in the 19th and 21st minutes. Messi brought Inter Miami level in the 65th minute with a powerful header, but Atlanta United regained the lead through Polish midfielder Bartosz Slisz in the 76th minute.

Despite the efforts of Messi and his Uruguayan teammate Luis Suarez, Inter Miami were unable to secure a victory, dashing their hopes of winning their first MLS Cup. The absence of Spanish midfielder Sergio Busquets due to injury further hindered the team's chances.

About a hundred localities in the Republic of Moldova do not have access to medicines. "Pharmacy in your village" reached only 47 villages in 2024

In many villages in the Republic of Moldova, access to medicines remains a major problem, due to the lack of pharmacies. Though the authorities launched the "Pharmacy in your village" project, within which they proposed to open 146 state-subsidized pharmacies this year, only 47 were created. So the inhabitants of many villages still have limited access to the necessary treatments, and this situation especially affects the elderly or those with chronic diseases.

Deputies about the national defense strategy of the Republic of Moldova for 2024-2034

The national defense strategy of the Republic of Moldova for 2024-2034 presented today by the Minister of Defense, Anatolie Nosatîi, in the plenary session of the Parliament, sparked acid replies between deputies. The dispute highlighted the differences of opinion regarding the country's neutrality and the qualification of the Russian Federation as an aggressor state. The Minister of Defense, Anatolie Nosatîi, said that "Russia wants to prevent our country from defending its national interests, as well as to reduce the state's capacity to promote its strategic objectives". On the other hand, the Deputy Speaker of the Parliament, Vlad Bătrîncea, said that "these voluntarist interpretations are ridiculous, but also dangerous".
