MIL-OSI Europe: Written question – Telegram as a tool used by the Russian authorities and the Commission’s slow and inadequate response – E-001504/2025
Source: European Parliament
Question for written answer E-001504/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Mariusz Kamiński (ECR)

The Russian Telegram platform is widely used by the Russian authorities and organised crime groups. The Kremlin treats it as a safe and effective tool not only for spreading propaganda and disinformation, but also for carrying out specific acts of sabotage on EU territory. One example is a group recruited and instructed via Telegram to conduct a campaign against Poland’s Law and Justice Government, President Andrzej Duda, Ukraine and NATO[1].

Authorities in the Netherlands and Lithuania have warned that Telegram is being used as a ‘notice board’ for drug trafficking, as well as other serious crimes, such as paedophilia and human trafficking.

During a meeting of the Special Committee on the European Democracy Shield (EUDS) on 27 March 2025, representatives of the Estonian Consumer Protection and Technical Regulatory Authority pointed out that cooperation with Telegram in the prosecution of the perpetrators of these crimes and the removal of illegal content is very limited.

Despite the seriousness of the threats that it poses, Telegram, after opening an office in Brussels, enjoys full freedom of activity in the territory of the EU. At the same time, by understating the number of users, it is able to evade obligations regarding the transparency of algorithms imposed on VLOPs. Experts and regulators indicate that the actual number of users exceeds the threshold of 45 million.

1.Given the examples presented of the use of Telegram by the Russian authorities and criminal groups, is the Commission cooperating with Member States, Europol and Eurojust to thoroughly assess and counter this threat?

2.Is the Commission working with the Belgian regulatory authority and other national authorities to urgently conduct a thorough assessment to determine whether Telegram should be classified as a VLOP?

MIL-OSI Europe: Press release – Budgets Committee sets out priorities for next long-term EU budget

Source: European Parliament

MEPs in the Budgets Committee have backed the first report outlining Parliament’s vision for the next long-term EU budget.

In the report adopted on Wednesday by 23 votes in favour, 9 against and with 2 abstentions, MEPs emphasise the need for a significantly more ambitious long-term EU budget (multiannual financial framework – MFF) that can deliver on EU citizens’ rising expectations against a rapidly changing global backdrop. The current spending ceiling of 1% of the EU-27’s gross national income (GNI) is not enough to address the growing number of crises and challenges, the report argues. With the US retreating from its global role, spending will have to address Russia’s war of aggression, a highly challenging economic and social backdrop, a competitiveness gap and the worsening climate and biodiversity crisis, according to the report.

No to single national plans

MEPs oppose the Commission’s idea of replicating the “one national plan per member state” model used in the Recovery and Resilience Facility for post-2027 spending in member states. Instead, they call for a structure that ensures transparency and parliamentary accountability, and involves regional and local authorities and all relevant actors. The report underlines the continued importance of cohesion policy to foster economic, social, and territorial integration, deepen the single market, reduce inequalities, and fight poverty and exclusion.

Competitiveness and defence

MEPs consider the Commission’s proposed Competitiveness Fund – which would merge several existing programmes – inadequate, calling instead for a new, targeted fund designed to leverage private and public investment through EU-backed de-risking mechanisms, building on the success of instruments like InvestEU and the Innovation Fund. The report also highlights the need for increased defence investment to support a comprehensive security approach, but stresses that this must not undermine social and environmental spending or long-standing policies.

Simplification and accountability

The next long-term budget must cut unnecessary red tape for those benefiting from EU funding, but must not give the Commission more leeway without the democratic scrutiny of Parliament. A simpler budget must be a more transparent budget, MEPs say. The report underlines that the budget’s design must safeguard Parliament’s role in holding the executive to account, putting in place strict accountability mechanisms and guaranteeing full transparency in relation to EU funds’ final recipients.

Flexibility and rule of law

Flexibility in spending is also key – crisis-response capabilities must be built into the long-term budget for each policy area, with humanitarian aid ring-fenced. The next budget should include two special instruments: for disaster relief and for other unforeseen challenges. The report insists that access to EU funds must be tied to respect for EU values and the rule of law, and advocates a smart conditionality mechanism so that beneficiaries are not penalised because of their government’s actions.

Debt repayment and joint borrowing

The repayment of NextGenerationEU borrowing costs must not endanger funding for key EU priorities, MEPs argue. The report calls for a clear separation between borrowing cost repayment and programme spending. The report urges the Council of member states to adopt new, genuine revenue resources for the sustainable financing of borrowing and of Europe’s higher spending needs. MEPs consider joint borrowing a viable option for tackling major EU-wide crises, such security and defence.

Quotes

“We want an EU budget that better reflects the Union’s new priorities like competitiveness and defence, while protecting long-standing ones such as agriculture and cohesion. That is why we call for a responsible and justified increase of the next MFF, moving beyond the self-imposed 1% of GNI cap. We also reject the Commission’s ‘one national plan per member state’ model, which we believe is unfit for managing spending in member states. Today’s vote shows Parliament’s Committee on Budgets is united and ready for the next EU budget proposal, with strong support from pro-European political groups for a more ambitious EU budget,” Siegfried Mureşan (EPP, RO), co-rapporteur, said.

“We have worked hard to incorporate nearly 2,000 amendments into our report, reflecting the majority vision for the next long-term EU budget. We want people and regions at the centre of the next MFF. We need strong investments to boost strategic autonomy, economic resilience, and green goals while leaving no one behind. In addition, an ambitious budget must promote social and territorial cohesion, include new and modernised sources of revenue, and guarantee sufficient funding for security, defence and preparedness as a pillar to ensure just and thriving societies, while upholding the rule of law and the EU’s core values,” Carla Tavares (S&D, PT), co-rapporteur, said.

Next steps

Parliament’s plenary is expected to vote on the report during its first session in May, setting out Parliament’s priorities, and feeding into the Commission’s proposal on the next long-term EU budget. The Commission is expected to unveil its proposal in July.

Background

The EU’s long-term budget, the multiannual financial framework (MFF) is typically established for a period of seven years and lays down the maximum spending ceilings for different policy areas. After having secured Parliament’s consent, granted by a majority of its component members, the Council, consisting of EU governments, adopts the MFF regulation; this requires unanimity. The EU’s current long-term budget runs out on 31 December 2027. About 93% of the EU budget funds regional and local projects, and support for agriculture, research, education, and businesses.

MIL-OSI Russia: Relaxation by the water: Russpass invites you to tours of the Southern and Northern river terminals

Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

The modern Northern and Southern river terminals are among the favorite places for Muscovites and tourists to relax. During the summer season, you can go on a short or multi-day river cruise from their piers. The terminals have all the necessary conditions for guests to spend their time comfortably and excitingly. The buildings house museums, cafes, souvenir shops and much more. And all year round, free entertainment events are held here, city holidays are celebrated and festivals are organized.

For guests of river stations, a tourist travel service Russpass has created a selection of educational excursions. For example, you can take an unforgettable tour of the Northern River Terminal with a guide or organize an independent walk. And you can learn about the history of the Southern River Terminal and its architecture with the help of a fascinating audio excursion.

Admire the beauty of the Northern River Terminal and explore its surroundings

Building Northern River Station built in 1937. Architects Alexey Rukhlyadev, Vladimir Krinsky, sculptor Ivan Efimov, ceramic artist Natalya Danko and other professionals managed to create a real architectural monument. After its opening, the Northern River Terminal quickly became one of the most recognizable symbols of the capital.

Almost five years ago, the historic building was carefully restored. The one-and-a-half-meter porcelain panels on its walls were completely restored. They were created by hand by the ceramic artist Natalia Danko. During the restoration, 24 majolica medallions were repainted according to the author’s drawings. Each of them depicts different scenes, but together they create the atmosphere of the era: the main construction projects of the five-year plan – the Central Theater of the Red Army, the Palace of Soviets on the site of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, the Kievskaya metro station. A star crowning the spire also shone above the building. Its rays were covered with gilded copper sheets and strewn with semi-precious stones. Now the Northern River Terminal is a cultural heritage site of regional significance and is popular with Muscovites and tourists.

The excursion will help you admire the beautiful building of the Northern River Terminal and learn many historical facts about its construction and role in the life of Moscow “Northern River Station: Palace and Port of Five Seas”.

An experienced guide will conduct the tour. You can choose a convenient time for the walk and buy a ticket in the Russpass service. The tour will begin in Druzhby Park. On its territory, tourists will see sculptures and monuments, including copies of the famous works “Bread” and “Fertility” by Vera Mukhina. In the central part of the park, guests will see a nine-meter sculptural composition “Friendship” by Alexander Rukavishnikov. Then, the participants of the walk will go to the building of the Northern River Terminal. Here, the guide will tell you how the Moscow Canal and the station were built in the 1930s. Tourists will also examine majolica medallions and other decorative elements. In addition, they will learn what monuments are on the territory of the river terminal and what films were filmed here during the Soviet era.

For those who like to explore the city on their own, Russpass offers a route “Northern River Terminal and its environs”. Users of the service are recommended to visit nine places located along the banks Khimki reservoir, including the station building. There you can visit an exhibition dedicated to the history of the Northern River Station and learn a lot of interesting things about it. For example, about how polar explorers left for expeditions from here in the 1940s. The building also houses a souvenir shop and the Volga-Volga restaurant. A fascinating and picturesque walk with the Russpass service will end on the opposite bank of the Khimki Reservoir in the Severnoye Tushino Park.

During the summer navigation season, from the piers of the Northern River Terminal you can go on a long cruise or an hour-long boat trip along theMoscow River. In addition, it is convenient to get from the station by river transport to the piers of Khimki (30 minutes on the way) and Zakharkovo (10 minutes on the way). Thus, residents of five districts of Moscow and a neighboring city of the Moscow region can significantly reduce their travel time.

Learn about Soviet architecture and the seas that can be reached from Moscow

Southern River Terminal opened after reconstruction two years ago. Now it is one of the landmarks of Moscow. The building was built in 1985 according to the project of the architect Yuri Kogan. It is stretched along the river and is shaped like a ship. Open terraces and panoramic glazing create the impression of decks. The station is decorated with a clock tower, which is crowned with a spire. On the facade there are bright architectural elements – five female figures in the antique style. They are allegories of the seas with which Moscow is connected by river routes: the Azov, Black, Caspian, Baltic and White.

On the first floor of the station building there is a waiting room, a buffet and a souvenir shop. On the second floor there is a library area with books about Moscow, as well as a media room where public discussions and meetings, film screenings and other events for children and adults take place. In addition, guests can go out onto the roof of the building, which offers wonderful views of the Dream Island amusement park, the Moscow River, and the Nagatinsky Bridge.

The exhibition area of the Moscow Transport Museum is located on the territory of the Southern River Terminal. Here, key events in the development of the Moscow River starting from the 18th century are presented in chronological order. Visitors can also see archival photographs, video chronicles, a collection of travel tickets and ship models.

Those who want to learn more detailed information about the Southern River Terminal and its surroundings can listen to an audio tour prepared by the service RosspasIt is recorded in podcast format and is available on any electronic device.

The Russpass service began operating in 2020. During this time, it has grown into a full-fledged ecosystem. Thanks to the service, it is easy to plan a trip, book tickets and a hotel, and select excursions. The online publication “Russpass-magazine” will help you learn everything about traveling around Russia. Since June 2023, the portal “Russpass. Business” has been operating for representatives of the tourism industry.

The digital tourist service Russpass was developed on the initiative of the Moscow Government. The project is supervised by the capital Tourism Committee together withDepartment of Information Technology.

A delegation from the St. Petersburg Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SPbB RAS) visited the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Belarus (NAS of Belarus). The purpose of the visit was to establish a long-term and meaningful scientific partnership between the two academies based on the existing close ties between Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and the institutes of the SPbB RAS with scientific organizations of the Republic of Belarus.

The Russian delegation was headed by the Chairman of the St. Petersburg Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Rector of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Andrey Rudskoy. The delegation also included Deputy Chairman of the St. Petersburg Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Vice-Rector for International Affairs of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Dmitry Arsenyev and Director of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University Anatoly Popovich.

The visit began with a visit to the Center for Systems Analysis and Strategic Research of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus and the permanent exhibition “Achievements of Domestic Science for Production”, dedicated to unique developments and technologies that were created in the institutes of the National Academy of Sciences and have already been implemented in real production.

The First Deputy Chairman of the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Academician Sergei Chizhik, and the Academician-Secretary of the Department of Physics, Mathematics and Informatics of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Alexander Shumilin, presented the guests with the latest developments completed by order of industrial enterprises of Belarus, including joint projects with Russia, including nuclear energy and the space program.

The central event of the visit was the official meeting at the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. The Belarusian side was represented by the First Deputy Chairman of the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus Sergei Chizhik and academician-secretaries of the relevant departments of the National Academy of Sciences. The event is taking place in a significant year for both countries – the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War and the 25th anniversary of the establishment of partnership relations between St. Petersburg and the Republic of Belarus. The context of common historical heritage and sustainable cooperation in our days gave the event a special symbolic meaning.

Andrey Rudskoy gave a report in which he spoke about the history of the creation of the SPbB RAS, about great scientists and academicians of Russia and Belarus, including graduates of SPbPU. He gave examples of successful scientific projects, fundamental and applied research implemented in partnership between the institutes of the two academies.

“Scientific organizations of St. Petersburg and Belarus have been cooperating for many years. We are united not only by common cultural and scientific traditions, but also by common goals: technological sovereignty, sustainable development and strengthening of positions in world science,” noted Andrei Rudskoy.

At the end of the official meeting, a ceremonial signing of an agreement on scientific and technical cooperation between the St. Petersburg Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus took place.

The agreement is aimed at developing fundamental and applied research, training highly qualified scientific personnel, joint implementation of scientific and technical projects and exchange of scientific information. The parties also agreed to support applications for national and international grants, develop educational programs and organize joint conferences and seminars.

Particular attention is paid to creating conditions for the formation of scientific schools, promoting jointly created technologies and attracting partners from third countries to scientific interaction.

The visit of the Russian delegation continued with a visit to the leading scientific institutes of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. At the B. I. Stepanov Institute of Physics (IPh), the guests from St. Petersburg were met by the director, Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus Sergei Gaponenko. After the official part, the representatives of the SPbB RAS got acquainted with the practical developments of the institute’s scientists. One of the most interesting projects is research in the field of creating transistors based on gallium nitride, in which the B. I. Stepanov Institute of Physics can compete with Chinese developers and manufacturers. In addition, unique devices developed at the Center for Laser and Optical Technologies for Medicine and Biology were presented.

The next stop on the visit was the Institute of Applied Physics (IAP). Its director, Mikhail Kheifets, is a frequent guest of SPbPU and heads the dissertation council of SPbPU in the specialty “Technology and equipment for mechanical and physical-technical processing.” The institute he heads conducts important research, including with a number of scientific organizations and enterprises in St. Petersburg. For example, magnetometers are calibrated and verified using standards developed at the IAP, and then the devices are certified at the Mendeleyev Research Institute in St. Petersburg. Among other projects, a contactless ore measurement technology developed by the IAP in the interests of Severstal was presented. Significant potential for cooperation between the IAP and scientific and educational institutions of St. Petersburg is contained in the joint program for space research of Belarus and Russia, which is supervised by Academician Pyotr Vityaz, Head of the Aerospace Activities Department of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. This topic was actively discussed during the recent visit of the delegation of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus to SPbPU, when visiting the laboratories of the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications.

The day’s program ended at the Institute of Powder Metallurgy named after Academician O. V. Roman. The guests were introduced to the exhibition of scientific and technical developments and products of the institute, the test stand, and the additive technologies section. After the inspection of the production sites, a scientific seminar was held, where representatives of the SPbB RAS and SPbPU heard reports on the institute’s developments in the field of additive technologies, obtaining metal and alloy powders for them, filled filaments. The head of the test stand presented methods for studying metal, ceramic and composite materials using the center’s equipment.

SPbPU and the Roman Institute of Powder Metallurgy have been successfully cooperating for a long time. A joint project, “Development of a technology for producing composite materials based on ceramics and products using additive manufacturing,” is being implemented using a grant from the St. Petersburg Science Foundation. A joint monograph, “Additive Technologies. Materials and Technological Processes,” co-authored by SPbPU and the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Belarus, has been published. Director General Alexander Ilyushchenko proposed new topics for joint research, including in the field of surgical implants, new composite filaments for additive technologies, effective materials, and coatings made of radio-absorbing materials. The parties agreed to prepare a new program for the Union State in the field of modern materials science.

“Today’s visit is a step towards a deeper scientific union. Belarus has always been and will be a key strategic partner for us,” Andrey Rudskoy, Chairman of the St. Petersburg Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, summed up the results of the visit to the NAS of Belarus.

It does so as the world grapples with war, geopolitical realignments and trade barriers, against a backdrop of accelerating climate upheavals. One of the expected outcomes of this summit is a new, agreed definition of what constitutes energy security in the 21st century.

Common understandings of energy security have focused on making supplies reliable and affordable, with less attention paid to ensuring sources of energy are sustainable and less volatile over the medium- and long-term. This neglect compromises our collective security.

The IEA’s 31 member countries and 13 associates include most of the world’s most powerful states. Its influence means that this new definition of energy security will be used to inform government policies and investment decisions around the world. Given the cost of energy infrastructure, and the lengthy time it takes to build these projects, this definition is set to shape our future, economically and climatically.

But there is a very real risk that this definition will open the door to further investments into fossil fuel production under the guise of energy security.

After Russia invaded Ukraine, governments rushed to cut their reliance on Russian fossil fuels. This caused major disruptions as prices spiked and millions were pushed into energy poverty.

Europe alone spent an extra €517–€831 billion (£444–£713 billion) on energy in 2021 and 2022, even though some imports from Russia continued through so-called “shadow fleets”. Some argued that high fossil fuel prices only embolden leaders like Putin and help fund their conflicts.

Governments responded with “energy nativism”, as they sought to secure as much energy as possible for their citizens at whatever cost. This typically meant boosting renewables and bulk buying oil and gas. In the UK’s case, it also meant the previous government issuing hundreds of new licenses to drill for oil and gas to “increase energy security” – licenses the current government says it will honour).

Shipments of liquified natural gas (LNG) were also redirected from poorer countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh towards the highest bidders in Europe and Asia. This raises the question of who exactly is becoming more energy secure and at what cost.

Meanwhile, large fossil fuel exporters like Qatar, the US and Australia ramped up production. A US official even referred to its gas exports as “molecules of freedom”. Australia has exported so much natural gas it may have to buy its own gas back from Japan at market price.

The sheer volume of investment in new oil and gas infrastructure like offshore rigs or LNG terminals, combined with long build times, has locked in higher fossil fuel production and pushed emissions to record levels. This poses significant risks for both exporters and importers, especially as future demand is uncertain and energy markets remain volatile.

Fossil fuels remain dominant

More fundamentally, continued reliance on fossil fuels is making humanity less secure. The vast majority of emissions still come from burning coal, oil or gas. Preventing climate catastrophe therefore requires us to phase out fossil fuels as fast as possible – with wealthy nations leading the charge. In their place, we’ll have to generate energy from renewable sources that do not replicate the volatility of globally traded fossil fuels.

Yet despite some progressive policies, fossil fuels remain dominant across the global economy. Investment in oil and gas today is almost double the level it must fall below if the world is to reach net zero by 2050, according to the IEA’s own modelling.

The pursuit of energy security has boosted renewables, but adding additional clean energy isn’t enough – it must ultimately displace fossil fuels entirely. This will require a whole-economy shift. That means cutting production of fossil fuels while also reducing demand, stabilising prices and building out clean energy fast enough to support the electrification of transport, industry and heating.

But supply chains for batteries, solar panels and other key technologies are vulnerable. Delays and shortages could mean electricity prices spike, sparking social unrest. This is yet another risk of getting energy security wrong: if inflationary pressures drive the immiseration of the general public, governments and their energy plans will be short lived.

The definition of energy security that comes out of the IEA summit should reflect the fact we’re now in a world of constant crises. True energy security means charting a path towards a world that is more socially, economically and environmentally secure. This means developing a well-managed global plan to phase out fossil fuels.

Reeves: I will always act to defend British interests

Chancellor Rachel Reeves travels to Washington DC for her first spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The Chancellor has pledged to “stand up for Britain’s national interest”, as she heads to Washington DC for her first spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

During a three-day visit to the United States, Rachel Reeves is set to hold meetings with G7, G20 and IMF counterparts about the changing global economy. She will make the case for open trade that provides stability for businesses and security for working people. The Chancellor will underline the importance of tackling barriers to trade to kickstart economic growth, supporting businesses and putting more money in working people’s pockets.

Earlier this month the Chancellor announced over £400 million of trade and investment deals with the Indian Government across a range of business sectors, including defence, financial services, education, and development. In recent weeks the government has acted to save British Steel, safeguarding the future of steelmaking in the UK and protecting 2,700 jobs in Scunthorpe and up to 37,000 jobs in the wider supply chain, announced a £20 billion boost to UK Export Finance which will give thousands of British access to government-backed financing and announced new measures to give British car makers certainty and stability, and to support them on the transition to electric vehicles. Earlier this month over 3 million workers in shops, restaurants and workplaces across the UK received a pay boost worth £1,400 a year for an eligible full-time worker, while also rolling out free breakfast clubs in primary schools putting £450 a year in the pockets of working parents and protecting the payslips of working people from higher taxes.

She will hold discussions with finance ministers about the opportunities to strengthen economic ties with Britain, including members of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. Talks with European finance ministers will also focus on going further and faster to increase defence spending and improve cooperation in response to continued Russian aggression and the invasion of Ukraine.

Reeves will hold her first in person meeting with her US counterpart Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent about working together to deepen the UK-US economic partnership through a new trade agreement.

In Washington, the Chancellor will also meet with business leaders to talk about the government’s Plan for Change to kickstart economic growth. She will champion Britain as the best place to live, work and grow a business, highlighting the government’s ambition to go further and faster to tackle the barriers to investment. By backing the builders not the blockers, through reforms to the National Planning Policy Framework – which alone is expected to deliver an extra 170,000 homes by 2029/30, as well upcoming the Planning and Infrastructure Bill and a government pledge to cut the administrative cost of regulation on business by a quarter, making Britain the best place to do business and drive economic growth.

Speaking ahead of her visit, Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves said:

The world has changed, and we are in a new era of global trade. I am in no doubt that the imposition of tariffs will have a profound impact on the global economy and the economy at home.

This changing world is unsettling for families who are worried about the cost of living and businesses concerned about what tariffs will means for them. But our task as a government is not to be knocked off course or to take rash action which risks undermining people’s security.

Instead, we must rise to meet the moment and I will always act to defend British interests as part of our Plan for Change. We need a world economy that provides stability and fairness for businesses wanting to invest and trade, more trade and global partnerships between nations with shared interests, and security for working people who want to get on with their lives.

Consul General of the People’s Republic of China in St. Petersburg Luo Zhanhui visited Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University as part of a working visit dedicated to strengthening scientific and educational cooperation between the two countries.

At a meeting with SPbPU Rector, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Andrey Rudskoy, Luo Zhanhui discussed key areas of cooperation, including the development of joint educational programs, scientific research, and technology projects. Andrey Rudskoy emphasized that China remains one of the university’s most important strategic partners.

“We have come a long way from simple academic exchanges to the creation of joint institutes and laboratories. Today, SPbPU cooperates with more than 75 Chinese universities, and our graduates work in leading corporations and research centers in China. Projects in the field of additive technologies, artificial intelligence and biomedicine are especially valuable, where the combination of the Russian fundamental approach and Chinese speed of implementation yields impressive results,” Andrey Rudskoy emphasized.

The Rector of SPbPU also noted that the university is actively developing digital educational platforms, including hosting online courses on the Chinese platform XueTangX, and expressed interest in expanding cooperation with industrial enterprises in the context of global technological challenges.

The Consul General got acquainted with the experience of using additive manufacturing technologies at the Polytechnic University. In the laboratories of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport, he was shown metal products printed using the method of selective laser melting of metal powders, electric arc growth from wire. The products successfully passed functional tests and are currently used in industry, medicine, energy and other areas. In addition to metal parts, products made of carbon fiber and ceramics were presented, manufactured using 3D printing technologies, such as coextrusion of continuous carbon fibers based on FFF technology and jet application of a binder.

The delegation visited the world-class Scientific Center “Advanced Digital Technologies” (NCMT), where Deputy Head of the Engineering Center Nikolay Efimov-Soini presented key achievements.

The guests were particularly interested in developments in the field of digital twins, including the national standard GOST R 57700.37-2021, which was recognized in China and included in the list of mutually recognized standards in the aircraft industry.

“This standard is the result of many years of work by our scientists. Its adoption in China opens up new opportunities for joint projects, especially in high-tech industries,” said Nikolai Efimov-Soini.

The guests were shown the CML-Bench® Digital Platform, which allows for the acceleration of the development and certification of complex engineering products. The platform is used in ten industries, including aircraft manufacturing, energy, and medicine.

“We actively cooperate with Chinese partners, including joint research in the field of digital testing. For example, in November 2023, our specialists presented a “digital certification” methodology at the MPE Testing Technology Conference 2023 in China, which reduces the costs of field testing,” added Nikolay Efimov-Soini.

During the excursion, the delegation got acquainted with the work of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU “Digital Engineering”, where specialists are trained for Industry 4.0 tasks. Consul General Luo Zhanhui highly praised the potential of the center: “I am confident that the integration of the competencies of SPbPU and Chinese technology companies will allow us to create breakthrough solutions for the global market.”

The visit ended with an informal meeting of the Consul General with Chinese students of SPbPU. Luo Zhanhui emphasized the importance of young people in strengthening Russian-Chinese relations: “You are a bridge between our countries. Your knowledge and energy will help create new technologies that will change the world. I am confident that Polytechnic University graduates will become drivers of progress in both China and Russia.”

Students shared their impressions of their studies and plans for the future, noting the high level of teaching and opportunities for research.

MIL-OSI Russia: Investors received 53 plots from the city at a preferential rate of one ruble per year

Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

Since March 2022, investors can rent land in the capital for one ruble per year to expand existing and create new production facilities. During this period, the city has transferred 53 land plots as part of the implementation of large-scale investment projects (MaIP), said Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction Vladimir Efimov.

“Providing land for the construction of production facilities at a preferential rate of one ruble per year allows businesses to reduce their costs of creating jobs and to quickly establish production of products necessary for the life and development of the city. Over three years, investors have already leased more than 270 hectares of land. They will house enterprises in the field of electronics, food industry, construction materials production, furniture, as well as other facilities with a total area of about 2.3 million square meters. After the implementation of the projects, over 23 thousand new jobs will be created. Thanks to the support measure, entrepreneurs will save about 1.9 billion rubles during this time,” said Vladimir Efimov.

The city views the funds lost from rent as investments in the capital’s economy, which will have a multiplier effect. This is expressed in increased budget revenues, as well as in industrial growth.

“By 2030, in accordance with the industrial development strategy, at least 13 industry clusters will appear in the capital. By order of Sergei Sobyanin, the city transferred some of the land plots for the creation of new production facilities to investors at a preferential rate of one ruble per year as part of large-scale investment projects. Modern environmentally friendly enterprises for the production of food and innovative construction products will be built on them,” said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry

Maxim Liksutov.

Plots at a preferential rate are provided to investors in all administrative districts of the capital, with the exception of the Central District. Most of them – 13 with a total area of over 167 hectares – are located in the territory of TiNAO.

As noted by the Minister of the Moscow Government, head of the capital’s Department of City Property Maxim Gaman, a large industrial cluster focused on the production of food products is being formed in the Krasnopakhorsky District. For the construction of production facilities with a total area of almost 580 thousand square meters, the city has allocated five sites – this is over 96 hectares of land, on which a distribution center for a meat processing plant, enterprises for the production of dairy, bakery, confectionery products, and ready-made meals will be built. Thanks to the city’s support, investors will be able to save about 800 million rubles over five years.

The plots are provided to investors as part of the implementation of large-scale investment projects – this is a special status that can be received, for example, by production complexes, innovation centers, social institutions, transport, sports, business and other facilities. For their construction, the city provides land for rent. Such support contributes to the creation of new jobs and the development of the capital’s infrastructure.

MIL-OSI Russia: Another 35 lifting platforms for people with limited mobility will be installed in residential buildings in the south of the capital

Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

In the Southern Administrative District, 35 lifting platforms are planned to be installed this year. They will be mounted in the entrances of apartment buildings where wheelchair users live, in accordance with previously submitted applications.

“Specialists have already installed inclined lifting platforms in eight entrances, and a vertical one in one. After the preparatory work is completed, it is planned to install lifts in another 26 buildings. At present, surveys and design work are being carried out there,” said the deputy head of the capital’s Department of Capital Repairs

Evgeniy Adamov.

Seven platforms will be installed in Biryulyovo Vostochny, six in Zyablikovo, four in Chertanovo Tsentralny, three in Chertanovo Severny, two in Brateyevo, Orekhovo-Borisovo Yuzhny, Orekhovo-Borisovo Severny, Chertanovo Yuzhny, Nagatinsky Zaton, and one in Moskvorechye-Saburovo, Biryulyovo Zapadny, Nagatino-Sadovniki, Tsaritsyn, and Nagorny.

The technical feasibility of installing a platform in a specific building is determined by interdepartmental commissions that have been created in each district of the capital. After this, the design stage begins, when the type of platform is selected taking into account the current GOSTs, regulations, building codes and rules. All projects undergo state examination, which confirms the correctness of the technical solutions adopted.

According to Evgeny Adamov, if there is enough space in the entrance, preference is given to vertical platforms. They are a kind of mini-elevators that allow you to rise to a height of up to four meters. Such lifts are very convenient for city residents with disabilities and do not create any inconvenience for other residents. If there is no possibility to install a vertical platform, an inclined lift is mounted on the wall parallel to the flight of stairs. This is a compact design that, when folded, does not interfere with neighbors and is suitable for both straight stairs and those with a more complex configuration.

During the installation of lifts, other work is also carried out to create a barrier-free environment: specialists install ramps and handrails at the entrance to the building, as well as doors with lowered thresholds and automatic closers that a person in a wheelchair can open remotely. In addition, visual and dispatch control systems are installed. This ensures the safety of descent and ascent.

You can submit an application for installation of the platform on the mos.ru portal or on the website Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the City of Moscow in the section “Internet Reception”. Permanent registration in Moscow and a doctor’s recommendation for using a wheelchair are required. According to the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, neither a meeting nor a decision of the owners of premises in an apartment building is required to install a lifting platform in the entrance.

From 2011 to 2024 the capital Department of capital repairs 2,128 lifting platforms for wheelchair users were installed.

MIL-OSI Russia: Filmmakers’ Forum and Actors’ Master Classes: How the Weekend Went at the Moskino Cinema Park

Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

Last weekend, April 19 and 20, the Moskino Cinema Park hosted a filmmakers’ forum dedicated to the use of modern technologies in film production. Industry experts spoke at the forum. In addition, it was possible to take part in acting master classes and the quest “Film! Film! Film!”, as well as see the one-man show “Dog”.

Lectures, master classes and creative evenings

The first lecture was given by Broadcast’s Product Director Leonid Novoselov. He spoke about real-time filming technology, 3D graphics and innovative programs for implementing creative ideas. The lecture helped students of specialized universities learn a lot of new things.

The master class by Natalia Klibanova, chief producer of the film company Amedia Production, was devoted to the topic of complex staging of filming. She worked on such projects as The Master and Margarita, Palma-2 and Psychologists. She shared stories from her own professional experience with the student filmmakers.

“It is very nice that there are people who come to my lectures at the cinema park more than once. In general, the audience is very interested, these are either those who want to learn more about cinema or those who want to integrate into the industry. Actors who want to expand their professional opportunities often come to the lectures. And we always invite them to castings, tell them about projects. This certainly gives results. There are also those who want to reformat their activities, while remaining in cinema. For example, they were involved in advertising, but dream of moving towards TV series. We talk about the work of our company, about who we are looking for, offer internships for students. The most important thing is not to be afraid to participate in pitching, festivals, educational programs that the Moskino cinema park organizes. It is incredibly valuable that forums, lectures and master classes for aspiring filmmakers are held here,” said Natalia Klibanova.

The artistic part of film production was the subject of a lecture by Alexandrina Trapeznikova, a teacher at the Institute of Cinema and Television (GITR). The production designer spoke about how the tools of professionals in this field have changed thanks to the advent of computer technology, as well as about drawing skills and new tasks. At a panel discussion, filmmakers Natalia Klibanova, Alexandra Trapeznikova and Leonid Novoselov discussed the latest trends in the industry, the future of cinematography and answered questions from the audience.

The Gonzaga Theatre set hosted a creative evening with actor Lev Zulkarnaev, a participant in the projects “The Word of a Boy” and “Buratino”. The graduate of the Russian Institute of Theatre Arts – GITIS, spoke about the acting profession and interaction with the director. Many young fans gathered for his performance, took photos with the artist, asked questions and received autographs.

“I think that such meetings are important, but only in combination with my own experience. Because in theory everything sounds one way, but in practice it is completely different. It is important that those who want to get into cinema definitely try, get their hand in, maybe make mistakes and learn from them. The Cinema Park is a professional space with good organization, where I felt very comfortable working. I starred here in the film “Buratino” on the “Provincial Towns of Europe” set, and I only have positive impressions. I have never seen such amazing scenery. I hope that I will definitely work on the Cinema Park sets again,” shared Lev Zulkarnayev.

In addition, a master class and lecture on acting were held by the actor of the Stanislavsky Electrotheatre Nikita Makhalov and the director of the Theatre of Young Muscovites Andrey Zadubrovsky. Nikita Makhalov demonstrated professional techniques for conveying the emotional state of the hero. Andrey Zadubrovsky told the audience about the means of expressiveness of speech and plasticity, and also revealed the secret of how to play a role while remaining yourself.

Performances, quests and film screenings

At the Gonzaga Theatre, children and parents watched Alexey Poltavsky’s one-man show “Dog” based on the story of the same name by Georgian writer Nodar Dumbadze. The story about the struggle between good and evil, a teenager’s difficult choice and love for an abandoned animal evoked genuine feelings in the audience.

The immersive quest “Film! Film! Film!” was held at the Uyezdny Gorod location. The participants had to go through the entire film production process – from creating a script to releasing the film, and they were helped in this by episodes played out by professional actors. In the process of creating a cinematic masterpiece, the participants were inspired by realistic decorations of suburban streets and buildings.

Unforgettable impressions of the weekend were left by watching films for the whole family at the Moskino Kinopark cinema. Adventure lovers remembered the new Russian film Kraken. The film tells about the search for a missile submarine cruiser that disappeared during a secret mission in the Greenland Sea. In addition, viewers saw kind films about family, friendship and loyalty Batya-2. Ded and Palma-2. And the cartoon Jurassic Jungle was especially memorable for the young guests of the cinema park.

MIL-OSI Russia: How capital companies use trenchless technologies for the benefit of the city

Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

The underground communications system in the capital is updated every year. Specialists from the Moscow City Services Complex build additional pipelines, repair and modernize existing ones, and also lay networks to new buildings and infrastructure facilities.

“Ten years ago, all these processes were accompanied by large excavations: large sections of streets where work was carried out were restricted for residents and cars. Now the situation is completely different. Specialists only need to fence off a small section that will not interfere with the movement of people. All thanks to the so-called trenchless technologies that many capital enterprises use in their work: GUP Mosvodostok, AO Mosvodokanal, AO Mosgaz, AO OEK and others,” said the head of the Department of Housing and Public Utilities of the city of Moscow

Rais Chiglikov.

Instead of three months of work – a couple of weeks

One of the modern methods of repairing or reconstructing a pipeline is called sanation. A fiberglass sleeve is pulled into the old pipe. It is impregnated with special resins that harden under ultraviolet radiation. The thin walls of the sleeve fit very tightly to the inner walls of the old pipe. The high strength of the material significantly increases the load-bearing capacity of the pipeline, and because the sleeve has less friction, more water can leak.

The rehabilitation does not require excavation work, does not interfere with transport and pedestrians, and does not affect other communications. Public utilities do not have to damage the urban space.

Every year, Mosvodostok renews dozens of kilometers of pipes with the help of rehabilitation. In total, the company operates a drainage network with a total length of more than nine thousand kilometers. This is the same as the distance from Moscow to Vladivostok. Thanks to trenchless technology, today all drainage repair work takes several weeks. Previously, it took about three months to achieve a similar result.

With minimal human intervention

In order to avoid digging trenches along the entire route of the gas pipeline, Mosgaz specialists use horizontal directional drilling (HDD) technology. It is especially relevant for work under water bodies and roads, on the territory of squares and parks, because there is no need to dig trenches for such excavation.

The excavation is carried out using a drilling rig with a special removable tip that is connected to a flexible rod. It allows changing the direction during drilling. This is necessary to avoid collisions with obstacles in the ground.

The tip has a built-in navigation device that controls and corrects the trajectory. After drilling is complete, the well is expanded with another tip, and finally a pipeline is pulled through.

HDD technology is regularly used by JSC Mosvodokanal when laying pipelines, and by JSC OEK or PJSC Rosseti Moscow Region when laying power transmission cable lines.

More than a kilometer without excavations

Another trenchless technology allows for laying underground utilities in areas of historical development of the city or under river beds. It is called microtunneling. It is regularly used by Mosgaz JSC, including as part of a large-scale program for the reconstruction of siphon gas pipelines. It began in 2018. Work has already been completed on 10 out of 12 siphon gas pipelines.

The excavation in the ground is carried out by a tunneling machine, the movement of which is provided by a powerful jacking station. It is installed in the initial shaft at a depth equal to the depth of the pipeline.

A special laser guidance system ensures precise laying over long distances and allows for the installation of communications in areas with bends and other obstacles. At the same time, the entire process does not harm the environment and does not disrupt the existing landscaping.

In this way, it is possible to construct a tunnel more than a kilometer long without digging additional shafts.

Tunnels are laid with a shield

For collectors built for the joint laying of heating and water supply pipelines, communication cables and electric cable lines, the shield tunneling method is used. A tunnel is dug using a tunnel boring machine (TBM), and then it is reinforced with monolithic and reinforced concrete blocks.

The first stage is the arrangement of shafts at the beginning and end of the route. They are ventilated, supplied with electricity, and the area is prepared for soil haulage. Then the TPK is installed. The shield is continuously advanced from one shaft to another.

At the final stage, the panel complex is dismantled in the receiving pit. Then they begin to build chambers with emergency exits, install internal collector life support systems and security systems. Such structures are serviced by JSC Moskollektor.

MIL-OSI Russia: The average payment period for government contracts to businesses in Moscow has been reduced to four working days

Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

Over three years, the average payment period for government contracts in Moscow has decreased by more than 40 percent and now amounts to four working days. This increases the efficiency of procurement and contributes to the growth of the attractiveness of government orders for Moscow businesses. This was reported by Maria Bagreeva, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Head of the Moscow Department of Economic Policy and Development.

“The payment deadline for government contracts established by federal law is seven working days since 2022. In Moscow, by the end of 2024, it was reduced to an average of four working days. This was achieved thanks to the efficient operation of the contract system and the high level of digitalization of processes. Now entrepreneurs receive funds for delivered goods and performed work and services faster, which contributes to even greater involvement of businesses in government procurement and an increase in the volume of contracts concluded. Thus, in the first quarter of 2025, the city signed contracts with capital suppliers under 44-FZ for 345.3 billion rubles, which is more than 60 percent higher than the figure for the first quarter of 2022,” said Maria Bagreeva.

The Moscow City Department for Competition Policy is conducting comprehensive work to attract entrepreneurs to the public procurement system. Reducing payment terms for contracts is just one of the tools for solving this problem.

“The introduction of convenient electronic services and standard documentation contributes to the reduction of the main stages of the procurement cycle. In turn, the acceleration of processes increases the level of involvement of entrepreneurs in working with government procurement. Today, there are 24 suppliers per customer in the capital’s contract system, which ensures a high level of competition and enables state and municipal institutions to promptly receive high-quality goods, works and services,” noted the head of the Moscow City Department for Competition Policy Kirill Purtov.

Moscow’s contract system consistently demonstrates high efficiency. Capital is in the lead in the National Procurement Transparency Rating. Thanks to the standardization of procedures, the introduction of digital technologies and the involvement of small businesses, Moscow state procurement ensures savings at all stages of the process.

MIL-OSI Russia: Panda Katyusha began living in the Moscow Zoo separately from her mother

Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

Katyusha – my favorite Moscow Zoo and the first panda born in Russia, will turn one year and eight months old on April 24. Her mother, Dindin, has decided that Katyusha is old enough to live on her own.

In the wild, bamboo bears take care of their cubs and feed them for up to one and a half to two years. Dinding was very sensitive to her daughter – she fed her milk, taught her caution, instilled all the necessary skills – for example, the ability to climb and group when falling. Then she taught Katyusha to eat bamboo, and at six months the little panda tried carrots. Now the cub’s diet includes everything an adult needs and everything necessary for full growth and development. Katyusha eats bamboo, carrots, sweet potatoes, apples and panda cakes – special steamed bread.

“Now Dindin has decided that her cub has grown up and is ready to live separately. This moment comes suddenly and quickly for animals. One day, the female began to show the first signs of a fight for territory. She began to growl threateningly, snort and chase Katyusha away. These aggressive actions could be dangerous for the cub. Our zoologists contacted Chinese specialists, and they recommended that we separate the pandas, which was done,” said Svetlana Akulova, General Director of the Moscow Zoo.

Katyusha has excellent indicators – she weighs 65 kilograms. For comparison: Dindin at this age was almost nine kilograms lighter. Katyusha also recently began to participate in veterinary training: she allows you to feel her belly, examine her teeth, and stand on the scales. She also learned this by repeating her mother’s movements.

The design of the Fauna of China pavilion allows for rotation of the animals: now Katyusha and Dinding take turns walking in the outdoor enclosure. After some time, zoologists tried to connect the mother with the cub through a lattice gate, but the adult female began making threatening sounds again. Therefore, now the pandas remain in separate rooms.

Moscow Zoo specialists believe that Katyusha is ready for independent life. But the baby will have a certain period of adaptation. Zoologists are closely monitoring the condition of these animals and are in constant contact with Chinese specialists from the Center for the Conservation and Study of Giant Pandas.

The name for the first giant panda born in Russia chose Muscovites: The Moscow City Department of Culture and the Active Citizen project have prepared a special vote.

The Moscow Zoo opened in 1864. Today it is one of the oldest zoos in Europe. It is under the jurisdiction of the capital’s Department of Culture.

MIL-OSI Russia: NSU is the first in Russia to launch an educational course on product management with elements of artificial intelligence

Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

Source: Novosibirsk State University – Novosibirsk State University –

In February 2025, Eh Faculty of Economics, Novosibirsk State University The course “Product Management” was launched. Its participants were final-year undergraduate students in the fields of “Business Informatics”, “Management” and “Economics”. This is the first course in Russia on such a topic, which pays special attention to the use of artificial intelligence. 60 students have already completed the course.

— Product management is a relatively new discipline that emerged in the 21st century in the Silicon Valley startup environment. In Russia, it has only begun to gain popularity in the last ten years. Until recently, such courses were only available at the Higher School of Economics, ITMO University, and the Moscow branch of RANEPA. NSU was one of the first universities to introduce a full-fledged course on this topic, and the first to include a block on the use of artificial intelligence, — said Alexander Doronin, author of the course, NSU graduate, product manager at LC Group, a company specializing in the development of fintech solutions.

The object of study of the discipline is primarily IT products – solutions created on the basis of program code. Today, digital products play a key role in both online and offline business. Their development, integration into business processes and promotion on the market require a comprehensive approach, and understanding these processes is becoming an important competitive advantage for specialists of various profiles.

The course program covers key aspects of product management, including product marketing, product research, A/B testing, and unit economics. Particular attention is paid to the use of artificial intelligence: individual classes are devoted to the use of large language models and other machine learning technologies in product development, which is an important difference between the course and other similar ones that already exist in Russia.

— As part of one of the classes, my students and I went through the entire product research cycle and tried using AI at different stages. As a result, the students developed an understanding of the tasks in which AI is really useful, and which tasks are better solved independently for now. For example, at the stage of preparation for the study, AI can help in composing questions for a problem interview if the prompt (request for the neural network) describes the respondent’s portrait well. When conducting the interviews themselves, you shouldn’t count on AI: most often, AI plays along with the interlocutor, agrees with everything and gives extremely expected answers to questions. An interview with a live interlocutor allows you to collect much more insights. After the interview, AI can be useful for systematizing the results. For example, as part of the course, my students and I built a User Story Map, and the AI did an excellent job of writing the stories themselves, receiving the interview results as input, — explained Alexander Doronin.

Another key advantage of the course is that it combines a systematic presentation of theory and many practical cases, including those from the author’s experience. Alexander Doronin has experience working with product teams both on the customer’s side and on the development side. The practical experience of the teacher allowed him to fill the course with real cases and tasks that specialists face in the market.

The course duration is 16 pairs (32 classroom hours). As part of the course, students also complete a project assignment, which they will defend at the end of the semester in a differentiated test. Thus, taking into account independent practice, the course volume is 108 hours. So far, it is designed only for students of the Faculty of Economics. However, NSU does not rule out that in the future the course may be introduced in other faculties of the university.
