    In the run-up to the Day of Remembrance and Sorrow, specialists from the city’s municipal services complex will carry out preventive maintenance of the Eternal Flame. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Public Utilities and Improvement Petr Biryukov.

    “On Thursday, June 19, maintenance work will be carried out on the Eternal Flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the Alexander Garden. This is a very important and highly complex job, so the most experienced specialists in the capital’s gas industry are involved in its implementation,” said Pyotr Biryukov.

    The maintenance takes about 40 minutes. During the work, the flame is transferred using a special torch to a temporary burner – an exact miniature copy of the main one.

    The specialists will lift the star of the memorial complex and move it to the side, after which they will replace the igniters, which are constantly under voltage, and check the operability of all systems. The memorial is equipped with a triple backup system, so rain, snow or wind cannot extinguish the flame.

    The Eternal Flame has not gone out for 58 years. It was lit on May 8, 1967. It is under the 24-hour control of Mosgaz employees. Specialists conduct scheduled inspections daily and technical maintenance once a month. Additional preventive maintenance is provided before Defender of the Fatherland Day and Victory Day.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: TIR Export-Import Operations Launched in China-SCO Demonstration Zone in Qingdao

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    BEIJING, June 19 (Xinhua) — The China-SCO Regional Economic and Trade Cooperation Demonstration Zone in the eastern Chinese coastal city of Qingdao recently received the first two trucks carrying imported canned beef under the TIR international road system. Thus, in addition to export operations, the zone has also started import operations under the TIR system, according to Qingdao Customs.

    TIR is an international system that simplifies the transportation of goods between countries. Within this system, the goods are sealed at the starting point of the route and checked only upon arrival at the destination, and at intermediate border crossings, checkpoint officers only check the TIR carnet data and the customs seal for the vehicle. This reduces the time of transportation and reduces possible risks associated with administrative customs control procedures and damage to the goods.

    China joined the TIR Convention in July 2016.

    According to Gao Lin, CEO of one of the local foreign trade companies, for his company, transport operating within the TIR system has significant advantages over sea shipping in terms of shorter transportation time and, in comparison with air transport, due to lower costs, which has made it possible to significantly save both on time and on the cost of import-export logistics.

    According to customs data, there are currently four TIR routes operating in the China-SCO Demonstration Zone: China-Russia, China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan, China-Kazakhstan and China-Belarus-Russia.

    In the first five months of 2025, the number of TIR shipments from the zone was 169, up 245 percent year-on-year, with the total value of cargo transported reaching 121 million yuan (about 16.87 million US dollars), up 329 percent, making the zone the leader in China in terms of TIR shipment volume. -0-

    JERUSALEM/TEHRAN, June 19 (Xinhua) — The Israeli Air Force carried out new strikes on western Iran on Wednesday evening, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman Effie Defrin said in a video message.

    The fighter jets flew over launch sites and storage areas for surface-to-surface missiles, hitting people trying to access and remove ammunition from previously shelled areas, he said.

    The IDF spokesman said it was the third major wave of Israeli airstrikes on Iranian territory in the past 24 hours. During the initial overnight operation, more than 50 fighter jets struck about 40 targets around Tehran.

    “Among the targets hit was a centrifuge plant, a key component of the Iranian regime’s uranium enrichment efforts,” Defrin said. Also hit was a facility near Tehran used to produce anti-tank missiles, including for the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, he added.

    The second wave of strikes began on Wednesday afternoon, with aircraft hitting more than 20 targets in the Tehran area.

    “The targets hit were part of Iran’s military industry and its security apparatus,” said E. Defrin. “They include three important facilities related to missile production, including engines, navigation systems and missile assembly.”

    In a video address to the nation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel had air superiority over Tehran.

    Israel carried out an airstrike on Wednesday near police headquarters in Tehran, injuring several police officers, Iran’s state news agency IRNA reported. -0-

    UNITED NATIONS, June 19 (Xinhua) — United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Wednesday called for an immediate de-escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran and a subsequent ceasefire.

    “I remain deeply alarmed by the ongoing military escalation in the Middle East between Israel and Iran. I reiterate my call for immediate de-escalation leading to a ceasefire,” A. Guterres said in a statement.

    He warned against widening the conflict to involve other countries.

    “I urge everyone to avoid further internationalization of the conflict. Any additional military intervention could have enormous consequences not only for the parties involved, but for the entire region and for international peace and security in general.”

    A. Guterres condemned the strikes, which resulted in tragic and unnecessary loss of life and injury to civilians, as well as damage to homes and critical civilian infrastructure.

    He said diplomacy remains the best and only way to resolve issues related to Iran’s nuclear program and regional security.

    “The UN Charter remains our common foundation for saving people from the scourge of war,” he said. “I call on all Member States to fully respect the Charter and international law, including international humanitarian law.” –0–

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Almost 16 thousand Moscow teachers will take courses on teaching mathematics in a new format

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    About 16 thousand Moscow teachers will undergo training to use new approaches in teaching mathematics, of which over 1.5 thousand teachers work in the fifth and sixth grades. Employees of 150 schools will begin training. These are teachers, methodologists and principals. This was reported by the press service Department of Education and Science of the City of Moscow.

    “Starting from the new academic year, Moscow schools will introduce additional courses in mathematics, science and technology for grades one through four. Large-scale training of teachers is being conducted for this purpose. Already 14,000 primary school teachers have begun classes, and now teachers of grades five through six will join them. They will master the stratified approach, in which students are divided into groups depending on the child’s interest in studying mathematics: mathematics for everyone, mathematics for those interested, and mathematics for those passionate. Teachers will learn to work with children with different educational needs,” the department’s press service noted.

    Children’s groups (strata) will be formed based on the results of diagnostics and taking into account the opinions of parents. In the first half of the year, children will be able to try themselves at different levels, and from the second half, they will continue their studies in a suitable group. At the same time, they can move to a simpler level at any time.

    This approach will help schoolchildren master mathematics at a comfortable pace. The tasks will correspond to their level of preparation and interests, which will have a positive effect on the results and motivation. To do this, teachers will study different teaching methods, get acquainted with the experience of schools that already use the stratified approach, and learn how to build interaction with students and parents.

    Courses in mathematics, science and technology in grades one through four will begin in September 2025. The emphasis will be on creative tasks and the development of modern skills. Some classes will be devoted to Moscow’s opportunities and in-demand professions. The program also does not include homework, so as not to create an additional burden.

    Earlier, the capital created expert council for the development of mathematical and natural science education. Its goal is to improve the quality of education in schools and support children’s interest in the exact sciences. The Council is engaged in the development of promising proposals for the development of mathematical and natural science education, the examination of teaching aids, advanced training courses for teachers, and the analysis of best pedagogical practices. It is headed by the Rector Moscow City Pedagogical University Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences Igor Remorenko. The group includes leading specialists – coaches of Olympic teams, teachers, scientists, methodologists, representatives of universities and industrial partners.

    Strengthening mathematical and natural science training is part of the Moscow education development strategy approved by Sergei Sobyanin. The measures taken will help maintain the capital’s advantage in this area. This year, young Muscovites won a record number of awards at the All-Russian School Olympiad — 1,863 diplomas, and by the end of 2024, they had received more than 50 percent of the country’s gold medals at international intellectual competitions.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Painting, fine stucco and sculptures: the subject of protection of the USSR Transport pavilion at VDNKh has been expanded

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    The specialists supplemented and approved the subject of protection of the cultural heritage site of federal significance, pavilion No. 26 “Transport of the USSR” (former pavilion “Agriculture”). Now, not only the entire structure, but also the details of its decoration are under the protection of the state.

    “Expanding the subject of protection of a cultural heritage site allows us to preserve and maintain in their original form the elements of the structure that have cultural and historical value. Specialists conducted comprehensive scientific research of the pavilion, which allowed us to expand the subject of protection. Now the document also includes the composition and architectural and artistic design of the facades and interiors of the pavilion. This is, for example, elegant stucco with a plant pattern, as well as picturesque panels that decorate the coffered ceilings,” explained the head of the Department of Cultural Heritage of the city of Moscow

    Alexey Emelyanov.

    He added that further restoration work in the pavilion, including the development of scientific and design documentation, will be carried out taking into account the expanded subject of protection and only after agreement with the department.

    Pavilion No. 26 was built in 1937 according to the design of architects M.B. Schneider, V.K. Oltarzhevsky, M.A. Minkus and A.P. Ershov. Initially, it was called “Grain”. A year later, it was renamed “Cotton”. In 1954, after a major reconstruction, the pavilion received a new name – “Agriculture”. The appearance of the building was done in the Stalinist Empire style. Then a portico of 10 thin columns was added to the main facade, which symbolize the stems of plants. Inside the portico, a small loggia appeared, also with columns, the walls of which were decorated with stucco with plant patterns. At the top of the portico is a composition with sheaves, a sickle and a hammer, and on the sides of it are sculptures of a collective farmer and a tractor driver with a book and a sheaf. The corners of the portico are decorated with small sculptural compositions with sheaves and Soviet symbols. The author of the monuments is Lev Pisarevsky.

    The exhibition of the Agriculture pavilion consisted of six thematic sections. They were devoted to methods of increasing soil fertility, production and use of fertilizers, development of new lands, work of advanced collective and state farms.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Kola Peninsula and Yamal: more than 20 expeditions carried out by pupils of the Moscow Palace of Pioneers

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    This academic year, more than 600 students from the Moscow Palace of Pioneers took part in 23 research expeditions and hiking trips. The children studied the nature of different places in Russia – from Murmansk to Yamal.

    “The Moscow Palace of Pioneers has opened more than three thousand children’s clubs. Among them are over 30 sections dedicated to tourism. Expeditions throughout Russia are organized for the children who attend them. This is an opportunity not only to see the nature of our country, but also to take their first steps in science. Such trips help to deepen knowledge in the field of biology, geography and ecology, and also teach teamwork,” the press service of the capital’s

    Department of Education and Science.

    Thus, the center for environmental education of the Moscow Palace of Pioneers organized three expeditions, where schoolchildren studied climate and soil. Practical classes and field research took place in the Moscow region – for example, the children identified species of animals, plants and mushrooms. Students from the third to the 11th grade took part in the trips.

    Young geographers from the Na Donskoy center have been on six trips. For example, in the spring they studied the northern taiga and the White Sea coast in the Murmansk region. The children took water samples, analyzed the soil composition and studied rare birds from the Red Book. They compiled their observations into scientific articles, which they have already published. At the end of June, the schoolchildren will go on a new expedition – to Yamal.

    “The expedition to the Kola Peninsula was the most interesting for me! This is not the first time I have participated in scientific trips – I study lichens and mushrooms. This time I discovered several species that had not been seen in these places before. Now this data will be published in a scientific journal,” shared his impressions Miron Alfimenkov, a pupil of the “Na Donskoy” center.

    The Young Paratroopers Club held 14 hikes around the Moscow region. Schoolchildren learned to navigate the terrain, set up camp, and cover multi-kilometer routes. In addition, high school students completed special tasks – they transmitted coordinates and adjusted routes using maps and mobile applications.

    Sobyanin: The number of military-patriotic clubs in schools and colleges has doubledMoscow schoolchildren and college students will follow the routes of famous travelers

    Supplementary education programs develop creative and critical thinking in schoolchildren, and form skills that will be useful to them in their future profession. The events held within the framework of such classes contribute to the project “All the best for children” of the national project “Youth and Children”.

    St. Petersburg, June 19 /Xinhua/ — Russia is becoming a significant economic partner of China, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in response to a question from Xinhua News Agency Director General Fu Hua during a meeting with heads of international news agencies on the sidelines of the 28th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, which is being held in St. Petersburg from June 18 to 21.

    “Russia is becoming a very visible partner for the People’s Republic of China in the economic sphere,” he noted.

    According to V. Putin, the volume of bilateral trade turnover of 240 billion US dollars is decent. In addition, Russia and China have planned investment projects worth 200 billion dollars. “And they are all realistic, they will all be implemented, I have no doubts,” he said.

    At the same time, the Russian President emphasized that the expansion of Russia’s economic cooperation with China is not connected with “some kind of turn” toward Asia. According to him, this is a natural direction of cooperation, and relations with China were not built yesterday. “This is not a matter of opportunism. All this is happening to a large extent, I must say frankly, due to the growth in the volume and quality of the Chinese economy, and, I hope, the growth in the volume and quality of the Russian economy,” the Russian leader added.

    Speaking about the priorities of bilateral cooperation, V. Putin named the financial sphere. “We need to ensure, of course, reliable financial flows that ensure growing volumes of trade turnover,” he said.

    The Russian President also spoke about the need to focus more on high-tech areas: the construction of heavy helicopters, space, and aircraft manufacturing. He praised China’s achievements in information technology. “I was surprised and pleased when the Chinese achieved simply demonstratively outstanding results in the development of artificial intelligence. It turned out to be 10 times cheaper than our competitors, and 10 times more effective – this is the result that our Chinese friends have achieved,” he noted.

    As V. Putin emphasized, military-technical cooperation is developing between Russia and China, which, according to him, is extremely important in order to “guarantee stability in world affairs.” “We have a whole plan for cooperation in this area, and the Ministry of Defense has its own plans for interaction. We regularly conduct exercises and will conduct them this year,” the president said.

    The Russian leader also declared his readiness to exchange military technologies with China. “We know about the wishes of our Chinese friends. This is not just about buying and selling, but about exchanging technologies. We are ready for this and will work in all directions,” he concluded. –0–

    St. Petersburg, June 19 (Xinhua) — Russia wants the conflict in Ukraine to end as soon as possible and is ready to continue settlement talks that began in Istanbul in 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a meeting with heads of international news agencies on the sidelines of the 28th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, which is being held in St. Petersburg from June 18 to 21.

    “In 2022, it seems strange, but we agreed on everything with them. Do you understand? The draft agreement was prepared. It touched on denazification issues, and territorial issues. We found formulations that generally suited both us and Ukraine. No, then those who want to increase defense spending now came: in Europe and overseas. They said – no need. We need to defeat Russia on the battlefield. Everything we agreed on was thrown in the trash. And that’s it. And we began to achieve this wonderful goal,” V. Putin said.

    “And now the situation is: no, you know, let’s negotiate. Let’s do it. But let’s open these packages and negotiate. But we can’t sit there day and night for a whole year. Therefore, we are ready to continue these negotiations,” the Russian president noted.

    According to him, it is necessary not only to end the Ukrainian conflict in its current form, but to find a solution for the long-term historical perspective.

    “We need to find a solution that would not only put an end to today’s conflict, but would create conditions for the non-recurrence of such situations over a long historical period,” the Russian leader emphasized. –0–

  • MIL-OSI Russia: BENIN: IMF Executive Board Completes Sixth Reviews of Extended Fund and Extended Credit Facilities, and Third Review of the Resilience and Sustainability Facility

    Source: IMF – News in Russian

    June 18, 2025

    • The IMF Executive Board today completed the Sixth Reviews of Benin’s Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) and the Third Review under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF). The decision allows for an immediate disbursement of about US$ 90 million.
    • Benin’s successful fiscal reforms supported the convergence to the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) fiscal deficit norm of 3 percent of GDP one year ahead of schedule, with sustained domestic revenue mobilization and prioritized social spending. The 2025 budget is designed to sustain this achievement.
    • A key challenge ahead for Benin is to preserve the reform momentum and strengthen policies that foster inclusive growth and an economic transformation that benefits all Beninese.

    Washington, DC: The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has completed the Sixth Reviews under the 42-month blended Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) arrangements, and the Third Review under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) arrangement. The EFF/ECF was approved by the IMF Executive Board in July 2022 (see PR 22/252) and complemented by the RSF in December 2023 (see PR 23/452).

    The completion of the reviews allows for the immediate disbursement of about US$ 36 million (SDR 26.2 million) under the EFF/ECF—bringing total disbursements under the program to about US$ 623 million (SDR 457.6 million)—and of about US$ 54 million (SDR 39.616 million) under the RSF arrangement.

    Economic activity in Benin accelerated over the past five years, and markedly in 2024. Growth reached 7.5 percent year-over-year—its highest level yet— and it is expected to remain strong in the medium term. The current account of the balance of payments deteriorated temporarily, due to large professional services imports related to the Glo-Djigbé Industrial Zone (GDIZ). It is expected to recover gradually, as exports from the special economic zones increase and the services deficit continues to moderate over time. 

    Program performance under the EFF/ECF has been strong, with all end-December 2024 quantitative targets met and structural benchmarks completed. On the RSF front, the authorities adopted new regulations for water resources monitoring, construction, and renewable energy. They also revised electricity tariff regulations to improve the financial sustainability of electricity production and distribution companies. Benin’s partners have pledged financial support for the country’s climate agenda following COP29 and the 2024 climate finance roundtable. Accordingly, the authorities are working on a climate-related taxonomy that is aimed at further catalyzing climate finance.

    Following the Executive Board discussion on Benin, Mr. Okamura, Deputy Managing Director, and acting chair, issued the following statement:

    “Benin’s performance under its Fund-supported arrangements has been strong. Its strong institutional foundation and the authorities’ economic reform drive and sound macroeconomic management have yielded tangible dividends, with high and more stable growth, favorable access to international markets, and continued support from development partners. The authorities should nonetheless remain vigilant to regional and global risks, maintain fiscal discipline and reform momentum, and strengthen inclusive policies.

    “Frontloaded fiscal consolidation in 2024 supported Benin’s convergence to the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) fiscal deficit norm of 3 percent of GDP, one year in advance. The 2025 budget continues to target compliance with the deficit norm, while the fiscal adjustment remains anchored in the Medium-Term Revenue Strategy. In that context, maintaining the tax collection efforts coupled with prudent spending will preserve fiscal discipline. Rebalancing the debt portfolio toward domestic debt over time while remaining cognizant of refinancing risks, in line with the authorities’ Medium-Term Debt Strategy, and together with continued proactive debt management, will help mitigate external rollover risks.

    “The authorities should continue laying the foundation for inclusive private sector-led growth to entrench the ongoing economic transformation. Fiscal transparency and good governance are key to maintaining market confidence. Further efforts are needed to support the development of SMEs. Regularly updating the social registry and developing a comprehensive mapping of social protection programs will improve the efficiency and targeting of social assistance initiatives toward vulnerable households across the country.

    “Continued vigilance by supervisory authorities vis-à-vis public and non-public financial sector risks will help safeguard financial stability and limit contingent liability risks.

    “The authorities have revised regulations for water resources monitoring, construction, electricity tariffs, and renewable energy in line with their climate agenda. The authorities should accelerate the reforms aimed at enhancing resilience to climate change and continue to advance their agenda under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF), to promote long-term balance of payments stability and catalyze private-led climate finance.”

    St. Petersburg, June 19 /Xinhua/ — The Iranian-Israeli conflict can be resolved in a way that ensures both Iran’s interests in the peaceful nuclear sector and Israel’s interests in terms of its security, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in St. Petersburg during a meeting with heads of leading global news agencies.

    St. Petersburg, June 19 /Xinhua/ — Interest in the Chinese language is growing in Russia, which is connected with the expansion of contacts and the growth of economic activity in Russian-Chinese relations. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin, answering a question from the Director General of the Chinese news agency Xinhua Fu Hua during a meeting with heads of international news agencies on the sidelines of the 28th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, which is being held in St. Petersburg from June 18 to 21.

    “I can say that interest in the Chinese language is growing in Russia. There is nothing surprising here, and there is nothing that would distinguish Russian-Chinese relations in this case from any other relations of our country with other countries in the event of an expansion of the volume of contacts and economic activity,” the Russian leader noted.

    As V. Putin said, contacts between Russia and China are growing in all areas. In particular, student exchanges continue. “We have 51 thousand Chinese students studying in Russia, and approximately 25 thousand Russian young people studying in China,” he said, adding that direct contacts have been established between Russian and Chinese universities.

    The Russian President also noted contacts in the cultural and humanitarian fields, which are facilitated by the regular holding of thematic cross-years of Russia and China.

    “And if my memory serves me right, we started these thematic years with the Year of the Chinese Language in Russia and the Year of the Russian Language in China. It is no coincidence.
