    About 12 thousand online applications for approval of redevelopment were received from Muscovites in 2025. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Public Utilities and Improvement Petr Biryukov.

    “Currently, the service for registration of redevelopment in an apartment can only be obtained electronically; the application must be submitted and the documents sent on the official website of the Mayor of Moscow, where information on registration, terms of service provision and the decision taken will be available. City residents are actively using this opportunity: since the beginning of the year, about 12 thousand applications have been received,” noted Pyotr Biryukov.

    Muscovites began to apply for approval of planned works 15 percent more often – almost 5.7 thousand such applications were received. About 2.5 thousand times Muscovites applied to draw up an act on the work performed within the framework of the received permit, and 2.3 thousand – to eliminate violations and legalize previously completed redevelopment.

    About 1.4 thousand city residents have applied for legalization of redevelopment in a simplified manner – based on a sketch. According to Pyotr Biryukov, Muscovites have begun to actively use the opportunity to coordinate minor changes without developing a project, for example, dismantling or installing built-in wardrobes, installing or moving non-load-bearing partitions, moving openings, including doorways. In this case, there is no need to draw up a redevelopment project or a technical report; it is enough to independently prepare a sketch of the work performed and submit the corresponding application.

    For the convenience of the capital’s residents, the process of providing the service is being improved. Thus, in April of this year, the terms for coordinating planned and previously completed work were reduced from 30 to 20 working days.

    Interaction between State Housing Inspectorate of the City of Moscow (Moszhilinspektsiya)and the Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography (Rosreestr). Thanks to this, all changes are immediately entered into the Unified State Register of Real Estate. In addition, the list of works that are approved without developing a project has been expanded.

    A new service has recently been launched on the mos.ru portal “Navigator for redevelopment and re-planning of premises in an apartment building”. It helps those who plan to change the configuration of walls, partitions, door and window openings in an apartment, move or replace utility lines. The service will also be useful for city residents who have already made a redevelopment. By completing a short survey, the navigator helps determine which government service related to redevelopment and redevelopment should be requested on the mos.ru portal.

    Redevelopment according to the rules: a service for those who want to transform their apartment has been launched on the mos.ru portal

    The creation, development and operation of the e-government infrastructure, including the provision of mass socially significant services, as well as other services in electronic form, correspond to the objectives of the national project “Data Economy and Digital Transformation of the State” and the regional project of the city of Moscow “Digital Public Administration”.

    BEIJING, June 26 (Xinhua) — To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, China recently established an Alliance for Research and Cooperation on the History of Air Combat in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

    The decision was made at the first joint meeting of representatives of China’s memorial sites dedicated to aerial battles in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, which took place in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, East China.

    The alliance was initiated by the administrations of 12 memorial sites across China dedicated to aerial combat in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, including the Nanjing Anti-Japanese War Airmen’s Martyrs’ Memorial Museum, the Eling Park Management Center in Chongqing City, southwest China, the Quzhou City Museum, east China’s Zhejiang Province, and the Kunming City Museum, southwest China’s Yunnan Province.

    The alliance will carry out exchanges and cooperation mainly in the fields of inheriting and developing the spirit of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, promoting a correct view of the history of World War II, protecting historical archives of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, conducting research in topical areas, and strengthening efforts to train personnel to promote research in China on the history of aerial combat in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

    After the outbreak of China’s nationwide war against Japanese aggression, the Soviet Union was the first to provide China with air support. According to historical records, during the war, a group of Soviet volunteer pilots participated in 25 battles to defend the cities of Nanjing, Wuhan, Nanchang, Chongqing, Lanzhou and other areas of China, shooting down 539 Japanese aircraft and sinking more than 70 Japanese ships. Of these, more than 200 people died in China.

    Let us recall that in November 2024, the Nanjing Anti-Japanese War Pilots’ Martyrs’ Memorial Museum for the first time fully published a revised list of 236 Soviet pilots who died in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. In May of this year, it again published updated data on 18 Soviet volunteers who died.

    In addition, in Chongqing’s Elin Park there is a grave and a monument to two Soviet hero soldiers. The names of Storf and Katnov indicated on the monument are in fact the pseudonyms of Colonel Petr Lavrentyevich Skokov and Major Vasily Dmitrievich Kotolupenko, who died on May 1, 1941 and November 15, 1940, respectively.

    According to incomplete statistics, there are about 20 memorial sites related to the aerial battles in China’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. They are mainly located in Jiangsu, Guangdong, Yunnan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Gansu, Chongqing, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and the northeast region. -0-

    NAIROBI, June 26 (Xinhua) — Kenyan President William Ruto called for calm and restraint after protests erupted in major cities of the east African country on Wednesday.

    “I call on all citizens to renounce violence and the destruction of public property. We have only one Kenya to build and its progress depends on our collective restraint,” Ruto said.

    While the Kenyan government has not yet released any casualty figures, local media reported that the chaos left two people dead, dozens of others injured and millions of dollars’ worth of property destroyed.

    Protests broke out in various cities, with thousands of people taking to the streets holding placards and chanting songs.

    According to local Citizen TV channel, one person was killed after police opened fire on protesters in Matuu town in Machakos county, while a student was killed in Molo town in Nakuru county.

    The protests were reported to coincide with a year in which Kenyans expressed their opposition to the Finance Bill 2024 through mass demonstrations, which eventually forced Ruto to scrap the bill.

    “We are here to remember those who died in 2024. It’s been a year since the protests began. People are still being kidnapped. It seems like nothing has changed,” said Cyril Kadome, one of the protesters.

    Business has been suspended in Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, as well as other major cities including Nyeri, Eldoret, Machakos, Mombasa, Kakamega, Narok, Kajiado and Kisii. –0–

    THE HAGUE, June 26 (Xinhua) — Member countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) have agreed to increase annual defense spending to 5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) by 2035, according to a statement released Wednesday following a summit in The Hague, the Netherlands.

    According to the five-point statement, the new spending target would be divided into two key categories: 3.5 percent for core defense and 1.5 percent for other defense-related spending, including critical infrastructure, cybersecurity and defense industrial development.

    As specified in the document, the plan will be revised in 2029, taking into account the strategic situation and revision of potential targets.

    US President Donald Trump welcomed the agreement at a press conference following the summit, saying Washington had long borne a very large share of the alliance’s defence burden.

    He also criticised Spain as the only country refusing to fully meet its obligations.

    According to D. Trump, the United States is negotiating a trade agreement with Spain, and Madrid could “pay twice as much” through trade measures.

    Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced earlier on Sunday, ahead of the summit, that Spain had agreed with NATO to limit military spending to 2.1 percent of GDP.

    In his statement, P. Sanchez warned that “a rapid transition to 5 percent” would lead to higher prices and government spending, and reduce investment in important areas such as education and digital development.

    Calling the 5 percent target “disproportionate and unnecessary” for Spain, P. Sanchez stressed that Spain is “one of the five NATO countries with the largest number of troops deployed worldwide.” He also noted that “asymmetry within NATO is normal and inevitable,” citing the economic diversity among allies. –0–

  • MIL-OSI Russia: NSU scientists create a “digital core” for oil companies

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Novosibirsk State University – Novosibirsk State University –

    Novosibirsk State University is the lead organization of a consortium that won a 210 million ruble grant to develop digital core methods, an innovative tool that will help the Russian oil industry improve the efficiency of extracting hard-to-recover oil and gas reserves. The research will be conducted using the latest synchrotron, the Siberian Ring Photon Source (SKIF), located in the science city of Koltsovo.

    Modern oil production increasingly encounters so-called hard-to-recover reserves — oil hidden in geological formations with extremely low permeability. For such formations, it is especially important to understand all the features of oil flow during its production. The key role here is played by core research — samples of deep-layer rocks taken during well drilling. Two approaches are usually used: experimental (laboratory core research using special equipment) and mathematical modeling, during which a “digital twin” of the core is built. The basis of the digital core is detailed models that are built based on X-ray tomography data from real samples. The more accurate the X-ray research methods, the better the mathematical models can be built.

    The project, implemented within the framework of the won grant, will be a continuation of research in the field of digital core, which was launched within the framework of the Synchrotron Radiation for Oil and Gas Technologies consortium, the agreement on the creation of which was signed in August 2023 at the international forum of technological development “Technoprom”. In 2024, Skoltech joined the consortium. On the part of NSU, the preliminary work on this project was financed within the framework of the strategic project “Scientific Engineering” Priority 2030 programs.

    The key element of the project is the use of synchrotron radiation, a powerful source of X-rays that allows opaque objects to be “seen through” at high speed and in detail. Unlike conventional laboratory X-ray installations, the synchrotron produces a beam that is orders of magnitude more intense and focused. The SKIF Center for Collective Use, which is currently being prepared for launch, will become one of the most modern installations of its kind in the world.

    — SKIF makes it possible to observe microscopic processes inside the rock in real time. This is a real revolution in geological and oil research, — noted the director of the Gazpromneft-NSU Scientific and Educational Center, professor of the Russian Academy of Sciences Sergey Golovin.

    The NSU project is being implemented as part of a consortium of seven organizations, including Tomsk Polytechnic University, the Institute of Hydrodynamics SB RAS, the Institute of Geology and Mineralogy SB RAS, the SKIF Collective Use Center, and the KI Research Center. The project has three main areas: development of synchrotron core measurement methods, creation of specialized research cells, and an educational program. Continuing education courses, work with students, and even schoolchildren are planned.

    As a result of the project, new scientific methods will be developed, patents will be protected, articles will be published, and personnel for the high-tech oil industry will be trained. But most importantly, a real tool will appear that can accelerate the implementation of new approaches to oil production in difficult conditions.

    Work on the “digital core” is scheduled to take three years. Funding was provided by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation as part of the federal program for the development of synchrotron and neutron research.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: The webinar of the project “Call Back Yourself” will tell how to identify deepfakes of intruders

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Today, fraudsters have learned to use high technology to create deepfakes – messages in which the sender’s voice or video image is generated. At a new webinar of the city project “Call me back yourself” Experts and invited speakers will talk about modern technologies used by attackers and how to counteract their tricks.

    Event will take place on June 30 at 11:00 at the address: Voznesensky Pereulok, Building 22. A broadcast will also be available on the social network “VKontakte“.

    Representatives of the capital’s Department of Information Technology, the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Moscow, as well as experts from specialized organizations in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies.

    “With the development of technology, the methods of fraudsters are also becoming more sophisticated. After hacking a user’s account, deepfakes can be sent on their behalf: audio and video messages created using artificial intelligence. In this message, the sender’s voice or video image is generated, and the meaning of the message comes down to a request to urgently transfer money or help in solving an important issue by transmitting confidential information. At a new event of the “Call Back Yourself” project, experts will tell you what to look for when receiving audio or video in order to recognize a trick. For example, signs of a deepfake can be unnatural facial expressions, discrepancies between lip movements and the spoken text, monotonous speech or incorrect stress, unusual wording and addresses for a person,” said Valentina Shilina, head of the “Call Back Yourself” project of the capital’s Department of Information Technology.

    At the seminar “Fraud Using Deepfake Technologies: How Not to Become a Victim of Deception?” participants will learn, using real-life examples, how to distinguish a message from a friend or colleague from an attempt to deceive, learn reliable ways to protect their data, and receive simple and effective advice. In addition, the speakers will talk about modern methods for checking suspicious messages (audio, texts, and sent files), which help identify signs of deception.

    Among the useful tools that help check sent messages for deepfake is the Telegram bot “Stopfake”, created as part of the Call Me Back project. It can recognize several types of information, including audio messages. When processing such files, the service evaluates the likelihood of fraud based on the content: a forwarded audio message or a retelling of a telephone conversation with suspicious individuals. Later, it checks the message for signs of synthesized speech.

    Following the event, a recording and useful materials based on expert recommendations will be available in the section “Webinar Archive” on the project website.

    The online information project “Call Back Yourself” was created in 2022 by the Moscow Government together with the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the city of Moscow. It helps city residents protect themselves and their loved ones from telephone and online fraud. On the project’s website, you can find information about upcoming in-person and online events, as well as memos and recommendations from experts, recordings of past webinars, and other useful materials. In 2023, the “Call Back Yourself” project won the “Golden Site” award in the “Best Social Project Website” nomination. In addition, it was awarded the Runet Prize in the “Information Security” nomination.

    You can learn more about the capital’s digital ecosystem and immerse yourself in the history of technology development over 30 years with this popular science film “Moscow in Digital”.

    The creation and support of information security tools, as well as counteracting cyber fraud, are in line with the objectives of the national project “Data Economy and Digital Transformation of the State”.

    BEIJING, June 26 (Xinhua) — “The enormous scientific and technological power behind a single grain is amazing. It is the ‘golden key’ to food security. We applaud Xinjiang’s agriculture!” Arkady Gladilov, deputy editor-in-chief of the Slovo Kyrgyzstana newspaper, said Tuesday in Changji City, northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

    On Tuesday, 23 media representatives from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkey visited Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region to see and appreciate the achievements of local modern agriculture, according to the Zhongxinshe News Agency (China News).

    The delegation visited the innovative laboratory of the company “Jiushenghe Seed Industry Co., Ltd.”, where they got acquainted with the selection capabilities of the enterprise. The journalists visited the Research and Development Center in the field of seed production and inspected modern processing workshops, witnessing the process of breeding high-quality varieties of corn, wheat, cotton and the operation of fully automated production lines.

    According to the company’s director, relying on the advantages of the national breeding base in Changji, the enterprise has established cooperation in demonstrating and promoting seeds of elite varieties with a number of Central Asian countries, which in turn will effectively contribute to increasing the yield of local agricultural crops per unit area.

    A. Gladilov noted that Xinjiang is accelerating the implementation of agricultural science achievements and is working to create a unified platform for agro-technological developments focused on Central Asian countries. This will contribute to the modernization of the agro-industrial complex of Central Asian states, and the future in this direction is promising.

    The media also visited the Xinjiang Agricultural Expo Zone, where they were immersed in a realistic picture of the “farm of the future.” In the pavilions, they saw a bountiful harvest of tomatoes grown using hydroponic technology, and also watched how the Internet of Things systems monitored and automatically adjusted lighting, temperature, humidity, water and fertilizer supply in greenhouses in real time.

    The delegation representatives unanimously stated that the scale of implementation and effectiveness of smart agriculture in Xinjiang exceeded expectations. This experience is extremely important for the transformation of Central Asian farms. Xinjiang is not only a key corridor linking China with Central Asia, but also an important partner in promoting the region’s agricultural modernization. Xinjiang’s advanced practices, from key breeding technologies to intelligent field management models, deserve in-depth study. -0-

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Moscow — a city of youth: how the capital supports young entrepreneurs

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Moscow is a city of youth. In the capital, all areas for a comfortable and productive life are regularly developing – from education and career to leisure and self-realization. According to the Federal Tax Service andDepartment of Entrepreneurship and Innovative Development of the City of Moscow, more than a quarter of individual entrepreneurs (IE) in the capital are young people under 35. Among company managers, their share is about 17 percent.

    Youth entrepreneurship is becoming an important part of the Moscow economy. Business representatives under 35 are increasingly developing their businesses, using the capital’s support measures to achieve this goal. They receive active assistance from the city at the start and a real opportunity to turn their enterprise into a successful company.

    Support by surety

    One of the most popular instruments remains surety Moscow Guarantee FundThey significantly simplify access to the necessary financing and make it possible to obtain it even without sufficient collateral, especially in such capital-intensive areas as manufacturing and construction.

    In the first five months of 2025, for companies managed by executives under 35, the volume of financing attracted under the fund’s guarantee amounted to 1.3 billion rubles. This is 32 percent more than in the same period of 2024. Then the amount reached 983 million rubles. The data indicate an increase in trust in support tools and the active participation of young entrepreneurs in the development of Moscow business.

    The majority of the funds raised were directed towards the development of production projects – 43 percent of the total volume. Another 22 percent went to the trade sector, 12 percent to construction, and the remaining 23 percent was distributed among companies in other industries.

    Young Entrepreneurs: Success Stories

    Anton Ivanov, the founder of a Moscow company that produces sportswear under its own brand, has used the support of the Moscow Guarantee Fund twice. This allowed him to increase turnover and expand production. In two years, the company’s revenue has grown almost fourfold – from 66 to 289 million rubles.

    Another striking example is a company that produces nut butters and bars under its own trademarks. Since 2022, entrepreneur Yuliana Nikolaeva has regularly received support from the Moscow Guarantee Fund to attract the necessary financing, which has allowed the business to grow fourfold – without interrupting production or reducing product quality.

    The city provides young entrepreneurs not only with financial but also non-financial assistance. Thus, 14-year-old Lyudmila Sukhova, the owner of a playroom in one of the capital’s shopping centers, received support. Her interest in working with children was supported by her parents, who in the fall of 2024 helped her acquire a business and obtain the status of an individual entrepreneur. Specialists of the State Budgetary Institution “Small Business of Moscow” (MBM) consulted Lyudmila. They told her about tax regimes, reporting and existing support measures, and also helped her obtain the status of a social entrepreneur. Now the playroom is regularly visited by an average of 25 children or more every week.

    Andrey Archakov is an 18-year-old general director of a film company, a screenwriter and a director. Having started with dubbing at the age of 11, he has already shot two historical short films and registered an individual entrepreneurship to work on a full-length film. MBM specialists helped him with registration, documents and choosing a tax regime. Andrey is currently studying at the All-Russian State Institute of Cinematography named after S.A. Gerasimov and is working on a new film and a project based on a book by Sergei Lukyanenko.

    “Made in Moscow” as an opportunity to make a name for yourself

    The Made in Moscow project also provides free support to young entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs can participate in industry exhibitions and large-scale city projects, such as “Summer in Moscow” and “Winter in Moscow”. And also to receive information support through special projects in the media and social networks. This allows them to place their products on the shelves of art pavilions and tell a wide audience about themselves in the media.

    The brand of high-tech clothing by 20-year-old Andrey Kolosov has become one of the examples of successful business development with the help of the Made in Moscow project. Andrey created the first batch of brand T-shirts with a grant of 50 thousand rubles, and then began to increase production capacity. Now his products can be purchased at the Green Market pavilion on Bolotnaya Square. The entrepreneur regularly participates in city events and demonstrates consistently high sales. The company’s income has grown from 50 thousand rubles in 2022 to three million rubles in 2024.

    In addition, in the “Green Market” and in the art pavilion “Bus of Beauty” you can find products of the brand, whose founder is 25-year-old Daria Yakovleva. The entrepreneur creates stylish accessories from velvet – cosmetic bags, folders for laptops and convenient shoppers. Thanks to the “Made in Moscow” project, the brand has already reached a new audience, increased recognition and increased revenue by 1.5 times.

    17-year-old businessman Dmitry Kalinin creates unique, hand-painted T-shirts. His brand’s products are distinguished by an exclusive pattern on each item. In the summer of 2024, his income reached 200 thousand rubles, which significantly exceeded the previous figure of 60 thousand rubles. In winter, the brand’s products could be found as part of the Winter in Moscow project at the Magic Market site on Bolotnaya Square.

    City of Opportunities

    Moscow is a city of youth. The capital offers wide opportunities for its development, creative self-expression, comfortable life and interesting leisure. The city has created the appropriate infrastructure, thousands of events of different scale and focus are held.

    In honor of Youth Day, themed events will be held at more than 250 city venues.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Construction of gas pipeline in Voronovo district is half complete

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Specialists from the Moscow City Services Complex have laid over a thousand meters of new gas pipeline in the Voronovo district, completing 50 percent of the total work. This project is part of a large-scale program to develop gas infrastructure in the Troitsky and Novomoskovsky districts. It will ensure reliable and uninterrupted gas supply to growing areas.

    The project will involve laying more than two kilometers of high- and medium-pressure pipelines. The work is being carried out using modern trenchless technologies: horizontal directional drilling and auger boring. These methods will minimize interference with urban infrastructure, preserving the road surface and natural landscape.

    Horizontal directional drilling allows laying pipes underground along a given trajectory using special installations. First, a pilot well is drilled, then it is expanded to the required parameters, and then a new gas pipeline is pulled. The second method involves laying a gas pipeline using an auger drilling rig. Unlike traditional open-pit work, this technology does not require digging a trench along the entire route. Modern polyethylene pipes are used to lay the gas pipeline. They are highly flexible, durable and long-lasting, resistant to corrosion and temperature fluctuations.

    The specialists have already laid more than one kilometer of the gas pipeline. They also installed a new domestically produced cabinet gas pressure control unit, which reduces and stabilizes the gas pressure in the system. As part of the project, automated shut-off devices connected to the central control room of JSC Mosgaz will be installed. This will allow for prompt management of gas flows and a quick response to emergency situations.

    The Moscow City Economy Complex noted that the new gas pipeline will provide reliable gas supply and will serve the city for more than 40 years. It meets modern technological standards and environmental regulations.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Entrepreneurs help SVO fighters as part of the Summer in Moscow project

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    In the shopping malls on the site of the large-scale city project “Summer in Moscow” on Tverskaya Square, you can buy unusual interior items – hand-made chests and caskets, vintage comics, jewelry and antique cutlery, and then treat yourself to delicious donuts.

    All participants, displaying their goods and treats on the shelves, have one thing in common: they help special military operation (SMO) fighters.

    Together with other vintage collectors, businessman Sergey is part of a volunteer group. For two years now, they have been helping the Valuysky Central District Hospital in the Belgorod Region, Kherson hospitals, doctors of the 810th Marine Brigade, the 25th Guards Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade, the 3rd Motorized Rifle Division, and other units.

    The items collected by caring like-minded people included radios and monitors, medicines, medical products and bandages, as well as funds transferred to purchase everything necessary. The team’s ideological inspirer Marina directly contacts the fighters and doctors. She also deals with issues of storage and transportation of humanitarian parcels.

    In the shopping chalet No. 7, Sergey has put vintage and antique jewelry on the shelves, as well as tableware: teapots, samovars, forks, spoons, plates, dishes and much more, and has also put out foreign comics from the last century. However, he expects visitors not only to shop.

    “Anyone who wishes can, in addition to money, bring boots, socks, bed linen and underwear to our trading house for the soldiers who are currently undergoing treatment in hospitals. It is important that the items are new, in packaging and with price tags – this is necessary to comply with sanitary standards, which must be followed for the speedy recovery of servicemen. I will definitely pass on all this and give feedback,” the entrepreneur shared.

    Chests and sweets

    The owner of the chest workshop, Sergey, not only produces unusual furniture that will decorate any interior and give it a truly Russian flavor, but also regularly sends funds to the needs of military personnel.

    According to the businessman, the first time he and his comrades financially helped the fighters was at the beginning of last autumn. After that, they continued to transfer the necessary amounts to the official account of the charity fund.

    Maxim, a representative of the donut company that you can try right now at the Moscow Seasons site on Tverskaya Square, said that he and his colleagues began providing comprehensive assistance this year.

    The entrepreneurs launched their own production in the city of Zhukov (Kaluga Region). The local administration helped them cooperate with other business owners, and now together they are preparing huge loads for shipment to the front and to new regions of Russia.

    “For the last two orders, we bought wheels for KamAZ vehicles, and delivered repair parts, hinges and door handles to Mariupol. We buy humanitarian aid, each one their own part, so that we get a whole truck, and then we deliver everything to the fighters,” said Maxim.

    He added that the business expanded thanks to participation in city festivals — the team started by selling donuts in shopping chalets. Now the sweets can be found in grocery chains, but the entrepreneurs continue to delight guests of the Moscow Seasons venues with donuts.

    Many of the participants of Moscow festivals not only collect humanitarian aid from the first days of the SVO, but also independently deliver cargo to the front, and also help volunteer organizations. In addition, entrepreneurs give military personnel and residents of new regions products of their own manufacture (canned goods, warm clothes, toys, etc.).

    More information about the activities of the capital’s Department of Trade and Services is available in the official telegram channel.

    Project “Summer in Moscow”— the main event of the season. It brings together the most vibrant events of the capital. Every day, charity, cultural and sports events are held in all districts of the city, most of which are free. “Summer in Moscow” is being held for the second time, and the new season will be more eventful: new, original and colorful festivals and events will be added to the traditional ones.

    BERLIN, June 26 (Xinhua) — German manufacturers’ export expectations worsened in June as U.S. tariff policies continued to weigh on sentiment in key industries, a poll by the ifo Institute showed on Wednesday.

    The ifo export expectations index fell to -3.9 points in June from -3.0 in the previous month, signaling a general decline in confidence in Germany’s export-oriented economy.

    The clothing sector showed the most gloomy outlook, while sentiment among food and beverage producers, automakers and metal producers also deteriorated significantly.

    Germany’s auto sector, a cornerstone of its industrial base, faces persistently low export expectations and remains particularly vulnerable to trade tensions. The U.S. has already imposed a 25 percent tariff on cars and auto parts imported from the European Union.

    “The tariff threat from the US is still being discussed. An agreement between the EU and the US has not yet been reached,” said ifo’s head of surveys, Klaus Wohlrabe. “This uncertainty reduces exporters’ expectations.”

    According to the latest data from the Federal Statistical Office, German exports fell by 1.7 percent month-on-month in April, while shipments to the United States, Germany’s largest export market, fell sharply by 10.5 percent. –0–

  • MIL-Evening Report: Oil shocks in the 1970s drove rapid changes in transport. It could happen again if Middle East tensions continue

    Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Hussein Dia, Professor of Future Urban Mobility, Swinburne University of Technology

    The Image Bank/Getty

    As the world watches the US–Iran situation with concern, the ripple effect from these events are reaching global oil supply chains – and exposing their fragility.

    If Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz as it is considering, it would restrict the global oil trade and trigger energy chaos.

    Petrol in some Australian cities could hit A$2.50 a litre according to some economists. As global instability worsens, other experts warn price spikes are increasingly likely.

    What would happen next? There is a precedent: the oil shocks of the 1970s, when oil prices quadrupled. The shock drove rapid change, from more efficient cars to sudden interest in alternative energy sources. This time, motorists would likely switch to electric vehicles.

    If this crisis continues or if another one flares up, it could mark a turning point in Australia’s long dependence on foreign oil.

    What would an oil shock mean?

    Australia currently imports 80% of its liquid fuels, the highest level on record. If the flow of oil stopped, we would have about 50 days worth in storage before we ran out.

    Our cars, buses, trucks and planes run overwhelmingly on petrol and diesel. Almost three-quarters (74%) of these liquid fuels are used in transport, with road transport accounting for more than half (54%) of all liquid fuels. Australia is highly exposed to global supply shocks.

    The best available option to reduce dependence on oil imports is to electrify transport.

    How does Australia compare on EVs?

    EV uptake in Australia continues to lag behind global leaders. In 2024, EVs accounted for 9.65% of new car sales in Australia, up from 8.45% in 2023.

    In the first quarter of 2025, EVs were 6.3% of new car sales, a decline from 7.4% in the final quarter of 2024.

    Norway remains the global leader, with battery-electric passenger cars making up 88.9% of sales in 2024. The United Kingdom also saw significant growth – EVs hit almost 20% of new car registrations in 2024.

    In China, EVs made up 40.9% of new car sales in 2024. The 12.87 million cars sold represent three-quarters of total EV sales worldwide.

    One reason for Australia’s sluggishness is a lack of reliable public chargers. While charging infrastructure is expanding, large parts of regional Australia still lack reliable access to EV charging.

    Until recently, Australia’s fuel efficiency standards were among the weakest in the OECD. Earlier this year, the government’s new standards came into force. These are expected to boost EV uptake.

    Could global tensions trigger faster action?

    If history is any guide, oil shocks lead to long-term change.

    The 1970s oil shocks triggered waves of energy reform.

    When global oil prices quadrupled in 1973–74, many nations were forced to reconsider where they got their energy. A few years later, the 1979 Iranian Revolution caused another major supply disruption, sending oil prices soaring and pushing much of the world into recession.

    Huge increases in oil prices drove people to look for alternatives during the 1970s oil shocks.
    Everett Collection/Shutterstock

    These shocks drove the formation of the International Energy Agency in 1974, spurred alternative energy investment and led to advances in fuel-efficiency standards.

    Much more recently, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine pushed the European Union to face up to its reliance on Russian gas and find alternatives by importing gas from different countries and accelerating the clean energy shift.

    Clearly, energy shocks can be catalysts for long-term structural change in how we produce and consume energy.

    The new crisis could do the same, but only if policy catches up.

    If fuel prices shot up and stayed there, consumer behaviour would begin to shift. People would drive less and seek alternate forms of transport. Over time, more would look for better ways to get around.

    But without stronger support such as incentives, infrastructure and fuel security planning, shifting consumer preferences could be too slow to matter.

    A clean-energy future is more secure

    Cutting oil dependency through electrification isn’t just good for the climate. It’s also a hedge against future price shocks and supply disruptions.

    Transport is now Australia’s third-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. Now that emissions are falling in the electricity sector, transport will be the highest emitting sector emissions source as soon as 2030.

    Building a cleaner transport system also means building a more resilient one. Charging EVs on locally produced renewable power cuts our exposure to global oil markets. So do biofuels, better public transport and smarter urban planning.

    Improving domestic energy resilience isn’t just about climate targets. It’s about economic stability and national security. Clean local energy sources reduce vulnerability to events beyond our control.

    What can we learn from China?

    China offers a compelling case study. The nation of 1.4 billion faces real oil security challenges. In response, Beijing has spent the past decade building a domestic clean energy ecosystem to reduce oil dependency and cut emissions.

    This is now bearing fruit. Last year, China’s oil imports had the first sustained fall in nearly two decades. Crude oil imports fell 1.5%, while oil refinery activity also fell due to lower demand.

    China’s rapid uptake of EVs has clear energy security benefits.
    pim pic/Shutterstock

    China’s green energy transition was driven by coordinated policy, industrial investment and public support for clean transport.

    China’s rapid shift to EVs and clean energy shows how long-term planning and targeted investment can pay off on climate and energy security.

    What we do next matters

    The rolling crises of 2025 present Australian policymakers a rare alignment of interests. What’s good for the climate, for consumers and for national security may now be the same thing.

    Real change will require more than sustained high petrol prices. It demands political will, targeted investment and a long-term vision for clean, resilient transport.

    Doing nothing has a real cost – not just in what we pay at the service station, but in how vulnerable we remain to events a long way away.
