    TEHRAN, June 25 (Xinhua) — Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Tuesday declared “the end of the 12-day war” and called on all government bodies and revolutionary institutions to focus their efforts on reconstruction.

    “We are witnessing a ceasefire and the end of the 12-day war imposed on the Iranian nation by Israel’s adventurism,” M. Pezeshkian said in an address to the Iranian people after the ceasefire agreement came into force.

    “The aggressive enemy failed to achieve its sinister goals of destroying nuclear facilities and disrupting nuclear research, as well as inciting social unrest,” the head of state noted.

    During a telephone conversation with UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on Tuesday, M. Pezeshkian said that his country is ready to resolve issues within the international framework and at the negotiating table.

    The United States and Israel are seeking to sow discord and hostility among Islamic countries, the Iranian president said. Iran seeks to strengthen unity and peace in the region and considers them the basis for accelerating development, he said.

    On June 13, Israel launched major airstrikes on various areas of Iran, including nuclear and military sites, killing senior commanders, nuclear scientists and civilians. Iran responded with a series of missile and drone strikes that caused deaths and extensive damage.

    On Saturday, the US Air Force attacked three Iranian nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, to which Iran responded on Monday with a missile strike on the US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.

    Following this, US President Donald Trump announced that a ceasefire between Israel and Iran would go into effect on Tuesday at around 04:00 GMT. Both sides later confirmed the start of the truce. –0–

    Tashkent, June 25 /Xinhua/ — The meeting of the leaders of Uzbekistan and China, as well as the successful holding of the China-Central Asia summit, clearly demonstrated the high level and quality of current regional cooperation, Professor of the Nordic International University in Uzbekistan, Doctor of Economics Akram Khashimov said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua about relations between China and Central Asian countries.

    According to him, based on the statements of the heads of state, it can be concluded that the countries of Central Asia, including Uzbekistan, highly appreciate the responsibility and constructive position of China in promoting regional cooperation. As the expert emphasized, the meeting was not only an important milestone in the political dialogue, but also another confirmation of strategic trust between the parties.

    A. Khashimov noted that following the talks, the leaders of Uzbekistan and China reached a number of key agreements covering a wide range of areas – from economics and trade to transport, green energy, education and humanitarian exchanges. “For Uzbekistan, China is not only an important trade and economic partner, but also a key ally on the path to modernization of the country,” the expert emphasized, adding that the meeting gave additional confidence and outlined clear guidelines for further cooperation.

    At the regional level, according to the Uzbek analyst, the China-Central Asia summit clearly demonstrated to the world that cooperation between the countries of the region and China is based on the principles of equality, mutual trust and mutual benefit. The very creation of a mechanism of this format, according to the expert, testifies to the growing commitment of the Central Asian countries to the principles of sovereignty and strategic autonomy, as well as their readiness to jointly respond to challenges and share development opportunities on a fair basis.

    Particular attention was paid to the concept of a community with a common destiny put forward by China. A. Khashimov noted that this initiative is fully consistent with Uzbekistan’s foreign policy priorities: good neighborliness, pragmatic partnership and mutual benefit. In the context of an increasingly complex international situation, in his opinion, cooperation mechanisms between Uzbekistan, China and the Central Asian countries are becoming the most important source of peace, development and stability, representing a sustainable and future-oriented model of regional governance.

    The expert expressed confidence that in the future, the China-Central Asia summit mechanism will become a central platform for coordinating regional cooperation. Uzbekistan, he stressed, is ready to continue to act as an active participant, consistently implementing the agreements reached at the highest level, deepening practical cooperation and contributing to the formation of a closer community with a common future between China and Central Asia for the sake of sustainable peace and common prosperity. –0–

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Muscovites can place an order for discounted meals through the EMIAS.INFO mobile app

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    You can now place an order for subsidized meals at a milk distribution point (MDP) not only on the portal Mos.ru, but also in the mobile application “EMIAS. INFO”. It is possible to choose a pick-up point, a schedule for receiving products and place an order for several children at the same time. This was reported by Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.

    “The EMIAS.INFO mobile app has become an indispensable digital assistant for millions of residents of the capital. We have expanded its functionality, and now the main Moscow medical app has the ability to place orders for subsidized meals. The procedure has become much more convenient – all information about the ordered meals for children is displayed to the parent in the service. And most importantly, there is no longer a need to place an order individually for each child, since it is possible to specify several children at once. Access to the service via smartphone will allow families to order food sets from the milk kitchen even more conveniently and quickly,” said Anastasia Rakova.

    In the section “Services for you” – “Milk kitchen” you can order free food and choose a convenient milk distribution point, frequency and schedule for receiving products. After that, a QR code of the current order is generated to receive the set at the point.

    In the EMIAS.INFO application, city residents can also find all the important information about the history of orders for subsidized meals: current and processed orders, their numbers, statuses, periods of receipt, composition of food packages, as well as the name, schedule and operating mode of milk distribution points.

    Subsidized meals are provided to pregnant women, children under three years of age (nursing mothers of babies under six months), as well as children from large families under seven years of age, children with chronic diseases under 15 years of age, and disabled children.

    Parents of children registered with a city polyclinic or pregnant women registered with a women’s consultation center can receive food packages if they have permanent registration in the capital and a valid compulsory medical insurance policy issued in Moscow.

    You can submit an application electronically on the mos.ru portal using the service “Application for receiving food at the milk kitchen” and a one-time visit to a local doctor to obtain permission to independently place orders on the portal or in the application. For city residents who have previously confirmed their preferential category, submitted an electronic or paper application and received free meals based on medical reports, the ordering service will be automatically available in the EMIAS.INFO application and on the mos.ru portal.

    Today, there are more than 200 MRPs operating in Moscow. They are open daily from 06:30 to 15:00 with a break from 12:30 to 13:00.

    Moscow has been digitalizing its healthcare system for over 10 years. The basis of this process is a single digital platform, which is being jointly developed by the Moscow Social Development Complex and the city Department of Information TechnologyIt allows for personalized care of each patient at all stages – from diagnosis and treatment to follow-up.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Gorky Park, the GES-2 Culture Center, and VDNKh: the Get to Know Moscow portal has a selection of favorite places for Moscow youth

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    On the eve of Youth Day in Russia, the portal “Learn Moscow” and the project participants “Youth of Moscow” compiled a selection of favorite places of the capital’s youth. It included Gorky Park, VDNKh, the GES-2 Culture House, the multi-format space “Youth of Moscow” and other sites. You can view the selection and read interesting facts about each place at website.

    “This rating is based on the real preferences of young Muscovites – aged 18 to 35. Together with the “Youth of Moscow” project, we found out where people most often go for the atmosphere, communication and new impressions. Initially, the list included about 50 places – from parks and cultural centers to historical corners of the city. After analysis, we selected 10 most popular locations. The result is a selection of places that are especially loved by young people. Both Muscovites and those who are just getting to know the capital will be able to find something interesting for themselves,” the press service of the city said.

    Department of Information Technology.

    More than 200 people took part in the survey — students, active participants of the project “Youth of Moscow”. Each of them was asked to tell about the places where they especially like to walk in company, where they most often go for solitude, about what spaces are associated with study, what is important when choosing a place to relax in Moscow and what kind of leisure is closer to them.

    The selection of favorite venues of the capital’s youth opens with Gorky Park – one of the symbols of Moscow, a popular recreation area and a unique complex that unites the architecture of different eras on its territory. It opened in 1928 and became the world’s first park of a new type, which combined the functions of a space for leisure, sports and cultural events. Almost 30 years later, in 1957, it hosted participants of the VI World Festival of Youth and Students from 131 countries. Today, Gorky Park hosts large-scale city events, festivals, exhibitions and concerts, attracting millions of Muscovites and tourists. This place is often mentioned by lovers of walking and cycling.

    The selection also includes VDNKh. This place is especially popular with those who prefer to relax in the fresh air. In 1935, the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition began to grow on the territory of the city suburbs, the main goal of which was to demonstrate not only the accomplished successes of various branches of the economy, but also to show the prospects of the bright future of all Soviet citizens planned by the government. Over the decades of its existence, the exhibition changed its appearance, name, and purpose. Now it is a complex with an area of 325 hectares with historical pavilions, arches, museums, ponds, parks, alleys, fountains, flower beds and sculptures.

    In addition, the selection included the GES-2 Culture Center. Many respondents called it one of the most memorable places they had visited recently. The central electric station of the city tram (GES-2) is a unique example of industrial architecture of the early 20th century, transformed into a modern cultural space. The station was conceived as a real industrial giant of its time with a design capacity of at least 15 thousand kilowatts, designed to provide energy to city trams. Its architectural appearance combined industrial style and motifs of ancient Russian architecture, and the hallmark of the building was a tent-shaped tower with a clock. The station operated for 100 years until it was decommissioned in 2006 due to equipment wear and tear.

    In 2015, restoration work began on the building. Specialists returned it to its original appearance and simultaneously improved the territory. This project has become the world’s largest example of transforming an industrial facility into a cultural space in recent years. The new space combines exhibition halls, a library, a cinema and a concert hall, workshops, studios and artist residences, shops, a restaurant and a café, a playground and auditoriums for public events.

    Another popular place is the multi-format space “Youth of Moscow”. It was created as part of the city project of the same name. Here you can book a coworking space, a media studio, halls for events, training sessions and other areas for free. This is the place that most respondents associate with youth.

    The “Youth of Moscow” project started five years ago, and during this time the team has organized more than five thousand events – from career forums and competitions to creative festivals and educational programs. Many of them help city residents find employment and start their own business. More than three thousand initiatives of young Muscovites in various fields received support from the project.

    The selection of favorite places of young Muscovites also included Zaryadye Park, Kitay-gorod, Arbat, Vorobyovy Gory, Chistye Prudy and Khodynskoye Pole Park.

    “Get to Know Moscow”— a joint project of departments information technology, cultures, cultural heritage, education and science. The interactive guide contains, for example, photographs and descriptions of over 3,500 buildings, monuments, historical sites, over 290 walking routes and information about over 320 historical figures. Users also have access to a mobile application “Get to Know Moscow”.

    You can learn more about why microchips are being put on books in city libraries, how to walk around the capital with a personal tour guide, or plan a trip around the city and country in a couple of clicks from the final episode of the popular science film “Moscow in Digital”.

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

    In honor of the upcoming Youth Day, themed events will be held at more than 250 city venues. The flagship event will be the festival, which will take place on June 28 and 29 at Bolotnaya Square. You can find more detailed information and a map with all city events on the portal “Youth of Moscow”.

    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”.

Many of them, even the majority, died in the battles for Moscow, to which the memorial in our yard is dedicated. That is why the theme of the competition is so important for us, because every family in one sense or another took part in that war, if not in direct combat, then in providing the front with everything necessary. This was not only our war, it was a fight for the life and freedom of all mankind,” said Vladimir Stroyev.

    The Chairperson of the Coordination Council of the League of Higher Education Teachers, Elena Lyapuntsova, admitted that it was difficult, sensitive and responsible to evaluate the competition entries.

    “All the participants are great, but a competition is a competition, let the losers not be upset, because the main thing is that you were able to tell the whole country about your relatives. If we do not know history, then we will have no future, so it is doubly important to pass on to the next generations not only the information from textbooks, but also your family, personal stories,” noted the Chairperson of the Coordination Council of the League of Higher Education Teachers.

    Elena Lyapuntsova also thanked the State University of Management for its cooperation and invited everyone to the All-Russian Forum of Higher Education Teachers, the first day of which, like last year, will be held at the State University of Management, and also announced free advanced training courses for teachers, including on project activities.

    A welcoming letter from State Duma deputy Biysultan Khamzaev was read by his assistant Natalya Belova. In it, the deputy emphasized the importance of patriotic initiatives for the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory and noted that such competitions inspire young people to study history, and also wished further creative success to the participants and organizers.

  • NATO leaders set to back Trump defence spending goal at Hague summit

    Source: Government of India

    Source: Government of India (4)

    NATO leaders gathered in The Hague on Wednesday for a summit tailor-made for U.S. President Donald Trump, with European allies hoping a pledge to hike defence spending will prompt him to dispel doubts about his commitment to the alliance.

    The summit is expected to endorse a higher defence spending goal of 5% of GDP – a response to a demand by Trump and to Europeans’ fears that Russia poses an increasingly direct threat to their security following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

    NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte acknowledged that it was not easy for countries to find the money for extra defence spending but said it was vital to do so.

    “There is absolute conviction with my colleagues at the table that given this threat from the Russians, given the international security situation, there is no alternative,” he told reporters on Wednesday morning.

    NATO officials are hoping the conflict between Israel and Iran, and the U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear sites at the weekend, will not overshadow the gathering, hosted by Rutte in his home city.

    Trump has threatened not to protect NATO members if they fail to meet spending targets and he raised doubts about his commitment again on his way to the summit by avoiding directly endorsing the alliance’s Article 5 mutual defence clause.

    Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, he said there were “numerous definitions” of the clause. “I’m committed to saving lives. I’m committed to life and safety. And I’m going to give you an exact definition when I get there,” he said.

    The new target – to be achieved over the next 10 years – is a big increase on the current goal of 2% of GDP, although it will be measured differently. It would amount to hundreds of billions of dollars in extra annual spending.

    Countries would spend 3.5% of GDP on core defence – such as troops and weapons – and 1.5% on broader defence-related measures such as cyber security, protecting pipelines and adapting roads and bridges to handle military vehicles.

    All NATO members have backed a statement enshrining the target, although Spain declared it does not need to meet the goal. Madrid says it can meet its military commitments to NATO by spending much less – a view disputed by Rutte.

    But Rutte accepted a diplomatic fudge with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez as part of his intense efforts to give Trump a diplomatic victory and make the summit go smoothly.

    UNUSUAL INSIGHT INTO SUMMIT DIPLOMACY

    Trump gave an unusual insight into those efforts on Tuesday by posting a private message in which Rutte lavished praise on him and congratulated him on “decisive action in Iran”.

    “You will achieve something NO American president in decades could get done,” Rutte told Trump.

    “Europe is going to pay in a BIG way as they should, and it will be your win.”

    To satisfy Trump, Rutte has also kept the summit and its final statement short and focused on the spending pledge.

    The text is expected to cite Russia as a threat and reaffirm allies’ support for Ukraine but not dwell on those issues, given Trump has taken a more conciliatory stance towards Moscow and been less supportive of Kyiv than his predecessor, Joe Biden.

    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy had to settle for a seat at the pre-summit dinner on Tuesday evening rather than a seat at the main meeting on Wednesday, although Trump said he would probably meet with Zelenskiy separately.

    Zelenskiy and his aides have said they want to talk to Trump about buying U.S. weapons including Patriot missile defence systems and increasing pressure on Moscow through tougher sanctions.

    The Kremlin accused NATO of being on a path of rampant militarisation and portraying Russia as a “fiend of hell” in order to justify its big increase in defence spending.

This event is the first step towards another joint educational project between SPbPU and KRSU, planned for implementation within the framework of the “Roadmap” for the development of cooperation between the two universities.

    The seminar examined the methodology of project-based learning, the experience of introducing a project-based approach into the educational process, with an emphasis on developing students’ skills in teamwork, critical thinking and independent solution of practical problems in combination with the use of project tools in professional activities.

    At the quiz, teams of teachers competed against students. Participants demonstrated their knowledge in the field of project activities and creative thinking.

    The event generated great interest, the participants noted the importance of the knowledge they had gained. It all ended with a constructive conversation with potential mentors of student projects and the development of specific steps to introduce the new course into the educational process at KRSU already in the 2025-26 academic year.

    We believe that today’s meeting is only the beginning of a long journey. If our course finds a response, and a team of like-minded people appears at KRSU, then next spring we will launch a pilot project together, opening new horizons for project activities at KRSU, – Anton Ambrazhey summed up the work.

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Specialists from the city economy complex have begun landscaping the territory of the Vinogradovo estate in the north-east of the capital. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Public Utilities and Landscaping Petr Biryukov.

    “We are improving the territory of the Vinogradovo estate, which is a cultural heritage site and a work of landscape gardening art of regional significance. As part of the project, we will preserve the historical appearance and layout of the park as much as possible, while adapting the space for modern use,” noted Petr Biryukov.

    Currently, foundations for eco-trails and an outdoor lighting system are being installed, and fences are being replaced. In addition, work is underway to create a sports cluster. The improvement zone has been fenced off, and special shields have been installed around the green spaces.

    The main objective of the improvement is to make the territory accessible to residents, provide them with the opportunity for comfortable rest and ensure maximum preservation of the surviving fragments of the planning structure and garden and park elements. Therefore, most of the estate infrastructure will be located on eco-flooring, into which gazebos for rest, benches, a rotunda with hanging swings and an area for events will be integrated.

    An amphitheater with a covered stage and a pavilion for artists will appear on the estate’s territory. A children’s playground will also be built there. In addition, the fountain bowl will be restored.

    In the front area near the eastern and western wings, the access road surface will be renewed. During the work along the perimeter of the southern section, the outdated fence will be restored – it will be made according to historical analogues.

    The roadway and sidewalks on Dolgoprudnaya Alley will be repaired, lanterns will be installed, including contrast lighting. The pylons of the entrance gates and the sections of the metal fence will be restored. And the lost gates have already been restored.

    On the northern section in the utility zone, on the site of the parking lot, a sports cluster will be created with a skate park, a workout zone, a multi-purpose field for mini-football and volleyball, a stand for spectators and a pavilion with changing rooms.

    On the western bank of the small Dolgy pond, which is currently used as a spontaneous recreation area, a comfortable recreational space will appear. An eco-trail with descents to the water will be organized there, several pergolas with hanging swings will be arranged on the deck along the coastline, and sun loungers will be installed for relaxation. From the eco-trail, you can go down to specially equipped picnic spots with gazebos and barbecues.

  • Axiom 4: Astronauts from India, Poland, Hungary launched on first space station mission

    Source: Government of India

    Source: Government of India (4)

    NASA retiree turned private astronaut Peggy Whitson was launched on the fifth spaceflight of her career early on Wednesday, joined by crewmates from India, Poland and Hungary heading for their countries’ first visit to the International Space Station.

    The astronaut team lifted off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, at about 2:30 a.m. EDT (0630 GMT; 12 Noon IST)), beginning the latest mission organized by Texas-based startup Axiom Space in partnership with Elon Musk’s rocket venture SpaceX.

    The four-member crew was carried aloft on a towering SpaceX launch vehicle consisting of a Crew Dragon capsule perched atop a two-stage Falcon 9 rocket.

    Live video showed the towering spacecraft streaking into the night sky over Florida’s Atlantic coast trailed by a brilliant yellowish plume of fiery exhaust.

    It marked the first Crew Dragon flight since Musk briefly threatened to decommission the spacecraft after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to cancel Musk’s government contracts in a high-profile political feud between the two men earlier this month.

    Axiom 4’s autonomously operated Crew Dragon was expected to reach the ISS after a flight of about 28 hours, then dock with the outpost as the two vehicles soar together in orbit some 250 miles (400 km) above Earth.

    If all goes according to plan, the Axiom 4 crew will be welcomed aboard the orbiting space laboratory Thursday morning by its seven current resident occupants – three astronauts from the U.S., one from Japan and three cosmonauts from Russia.

    Whitson, 65, and her three Axiom 4 crewmates – Shubhanshu Shukla, 39, of India, Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski, 41, of Poland, and Tibor Kapu, 33, of Hungary – are slated to spend 14 days aboard the space station conducting microgravity research.

    The mission stands as the fourth such flight since 2022 arranged by Axiom as the Houston-headquartered company builds on its business of putting astronauts sponsored by private companies and foreign governments into Earth orbit.

    For India, Poland and Hungary, the launch marked a return to human spaceflight after more than 40 years and the first mission to send astronauts from each of those three countries to the International Space Station.

    The Axiom 4 participation of Shukla, an Indian air force pilot, is seen by India’s own space program as a kind of precursor to the debut crewed mission of its Gaganyaan orbital spacecraft, planned for 2027.

    The Axiom 4 crew is led by Whitson, who retired from NASA in 2018 after a pioneering career that included her tenure as the first woman to serve as the U.S. space agency’s chief astronaut. She also was the first woman to command an ISS expedition and the first to do so twice.

    Now a consultant and director of human spaceflight for Axiom, she has logged a career total of 675 days in space, a U.S. record, during three NASA missions and a fourth flight to space as commander of the Axiom 2 mission in 2023.

    The Axiom 4 mission was previously scheduled for liftoff on Tuesday before a forecast of unsuitable weather forced a 24-hour postponement.

  • Looking forward to present India’s vision for global peace, security at SCO meet: Rajnath Singh

    Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday said that he is looking forward to present India’s vision for global peace and security and will also call for joint efforts to eliminate terrorism during the two-day Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) conclave in Qingdao, China.

    Singh is visiting the port city of Qingdao in eastern Shandong province to attend the SCO Defence Ministers’ meeting from June 25–26, where extensive deliberations are expected on the evolving regional security architecture.

    Rajnath Singh said on X: “Today, June 25, I shall be leaving for Qingdao, China, to take part in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Defence Ministers’ Meeting. I will have the opportunity to interact with various Defence Ministers on a wide range of issues. Looking forward to presenting India’s vision for global peace and security, and also, calling for joint and consistent efforts to eliminate terrorism.”

    Singh’s visit comes just over a month after Operation Sindoor, under which India conducted targeted airstrikes on nine high-value terrorist infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack.

    This marks the first visit to China by an Indian Union Minister since bilateral relations were severely strained by the military standoff along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh beginning in May 2020.

    Meanwhile, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval is also in China for a meeting of SCO national security advisors.

    According to an official readout, Defence Minister Singh will reaffirm India’s commitment to the SCO’s core principles and objectives, while outlining New Delhi’s vision for enhanced regional cooperation to counter terrorism and extremism.

    In addition to addressing the plenary session, Singh is scheduled to hold bilateral meetings with his counterparts from several participating nations, including China and Russia.

    The Ministry of Defence said: “India attaches special importance to SCO in promoting multilateralism, and fostering political, security, economic, and people-to-people interactions in the region. The SCO adheres to principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity, non-interference in internal affairs, mutual respect, understanding, and equality among member states.”

    China is hosting the conclave as the current chair of the SCO.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: A new terminal station for ground transport has opened in Solntsevo

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    A terminal station for buses and electric buses has opened in the west of the capital, near the Govorovo metro station. It will increase the efficiency of routes in nearby areas. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry Maxim Liksutov.

    “Today, there are more than 160 terminal stations in Moscow, 34 of which are equipped with infrastructure for electric buses. This has improved the working conditions of drivers and had a positive effect on the operation of routes. We are constantly improving the quality of passenger service on behalf of Sergei Sobyanin,” said Maxim Liksutov.

    The new terminal station has two ultra-fast charging stations for electric buses. The building has separate rest rooms for men and women, places for lunch breaks, first aid stations, showers and toilets, as well as video surveillance and security systems.

    Moscow is developing infrastructure for the efficient operation of ground urban transport. New terminal stations are constantly being built and existing ones are being modernized in the capital. Thanks to them, the equipment starts its route immediately in the required area – closer to passengers. The waiting time for buses and electric buses is reduced. Drivers do not need to waste time to get to the starting point of the route or return to the park for parking.

    The fenced turnaround area gives drivers enough space to maneuver and get back on the line, without having to do it on the roadway. In addition, comfortable working conditions are created for drivers, because the safety of passengers depends on their well-being.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Investments in the acquisition of finished commercial real estate in Moscow have grown by almost 80 percent

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    In January-March 2025, investments in the purchase of finished commercial real estate in Moscow amounted to 164 billion rubles. This is almost 80 percent more than the same period in 2024, reported Maria Bagreeva, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Head of the Moscow Department of Economic Policy and Development.

    “The main investors are large corporations and banks, for which the purchase of real estate for offices and headquarters is a profitable long-term investment, especially in the context of rising rental rates and a limited supply of quality space. In January-March 2025, investments in completed commercial real estate in the capital amounted to 164 billion rubles. Moscow accounted for 89 percent of all transactions with completed commercial real estate in the country in the first quarter – nine percentage points more than in January-March 2024,” noted Maria Bagreeva.

    Investments in commercial real estate construction also increased significantly in the first quarter of 2025. According to the Investment Projects digital platform, 371 projects worth 1.9 trillion rubles were in the active implementation stage at the beginning of April 2025. Compared to the first quarter of last year, the volume of investments increased by 26 percent.

    Almost half of these funds were invested in the construction of multifunctional complexes that combine several types of real estate. Among them are offices, as well as retail and entertainment areas. Another quarter of the investment went to the construction of apartments, which began even before the introduction of restrictions on the launch of new projects in this area last fall. A fifth of the investment is aimed at the construction of logistics facilities, shopping centers and entertainment complexes. New commercial properties are being built mainly in the northwestern part of the capital.

    According to Maria Bagreeva, active investments in commercial real estate make the urban environment more saturated, efficient and accessible. Multifunctional complexes attract city residents, as they represent modern spaces, next to which there is housing, work, recreation and familiar services. This helps to reduce pendulum mobility, increases the convenience of life and saves city residents’ time.

    The development of commercial development is accompanied by the improvement of territories, modernization of transport infrastructure and the emergence of new public spaces. As a result, investments in real estate not only work for the economy, but also improve the quality of urban life – from the comfort of travel to a variety of services and convenience in everyday life.

    In the first quarter of this year, the city sold more than 420 commercial premises

    On the instructions of Sergei Sobyanin, the city is paying special attention to the quality of construction of business infrastructure facilities.

    “Currently, Mosgosstroynadzor supervises over 60 commercial infrastructure facilities with a total area of over 1.6 million square meters. Among the most iconic are the Sberbank headquarters on Kutuzovsky Prospekt and the new dominant building next to Moscow City – the iCITY business center, in which the construction of the second 61-story building is being completed. Innovative technologies and thoughtful functionality embodied in these buildings serve as a clear confirmation of the capital’s status as a world-class business center,” added the chairman of the capital’s Committee for State Construction Supervision (Mosgosstroynadzor).

    GUIYANG, June 25 (Xinhua) — Continuous heavy rainfall and increasing water flows from upstream rivers have caused severe flooding in two counties in southwest China’s Guizhou Province, prompting mass evacuations of local residents.

    UNITED NATIONS, June 25 (Xinhua) — China’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Sun Lei on Tuesday stressed the need to advance the political process in Libya.

    “Libya has been in a state of political impasse for a long time. Promoting the political process is the key to lasting stability in the country,” the Chinese diplomat said.

    He noted that China supports the active efforts of the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Libya Hannah Tetteh to engage with all parties in the country and her mediation activities to overcome political differences.

    According to Sun Lei, the Advisory Committee of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) made recommendations last month to facilitate the holding of the national elections. China hopes that UNSMIL will strengthen consultations with all parties on this issue, fully respect the will of the Libyan people, and reach a broad consensus on holding the national elections.

    China calls on the international community to continue to support the Libyan-led and Libyan-owned process and make effective use of all kinds of resources and tools to support the early completion of the political transition and the achievement of national unity. China is willing to actively participate in the relevant process, Sun Lei stressed.

    He also noted that the security situation in Libya remains fragile. Recent armed clashes in Tripoli have confirmed the fragility of the situation, and ensuring security and stability remains a top priority.

    China is a good friend of Libya, firmly supports the Libyan people’s efforts to safeguard their sovereignty and territorial integrity, and is willing to play a constructive role in achieving long-term peace, development and rejuvenation of the country, the Chinese diplomat added. –0–
