A fireworks shop blew up during a fire at a shopping center in Ramenskoye, Moscow region.

In Transnistria, people are now living “a better life”: groceries are being given on installment plans. The reason is that in the unrecognized republic (Moldovan territory occupied by Russia), every fifth resident asks for a loan until payday. This is what the so-called “Russian world” looks like.

Putin once again explained who had been “bombing Donbas for eight years” The bald old man claimed that Russia did not start the war against Ukraine. According to his version, after the Maidan, Kyiv itself launched hostilities, while Moscow was merely “defending” Crimea and trying to negotiate. “This is war. They brought in artillery and multiple-launch rocket systems. They started hostilities in southeastern Ukraine. We tried to persuade them for eight years. Do you understand?” Putin said.

Key takeaways from Putin’s statements today. “Let’s all get along” 🔵 It was not Russia that started the war, but NATO. 🔵 Russia’s satellite constellation will be better than Starlink. 🔵 Schools and streets should be named after participants in the war. 🔵 Russia is actively developing AI-powered drones. 🔵 The Russian army is advancing every day — “not as fast as we would like,” but still moving forward. 🔵 All issues should be resolved through negotiations, not ultimatums.

At the same time, protection remains in place for other minority and indigenous languages and has been extended to Urum, Rumeika, Romani, Czech, Krymchak, Karaim, and Yiddish. The law was signed by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

BMW and Audi cars are being imported into Russia disguised as Chinese Changan vehicles The sanctions-evasion scheme is simple: before crossing the border, Chinese brand logos are simply attached to the cars. Once in Russia, they are removed, and the vehicles become German again.

A historic moment: the main tower of the Sagrada Família has finally been completed The day before, it was consecrated by Pope Leo XIV, marking the 100th anniversary of the death of the great architect Antoni Gaudí. The 172.5-meter Tower of Jesus Christ has become the tallest part of the church, and the Sagrada Família is now considered the tallest Christian structure in the world. Construction of the basilica began in 1882. Gaudí died in 1926 without ever seeing his main masterpiece completed. However, this is still not the final stage: interior work and the main entrance still remain. So the world’s most famous long-term construction project is officially not finished yet.
