🇷🇺 Russia stands guard over traditional values.

🇷🇺 Yesterday, the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, signed two laws related to traditional family values.

📌 The first law is a ban on the adoption of Russian children by citizens of countries where gender reassignment is permitted.

As noted by State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin, the West's policies regarding children are detrimental: in 10 European countries — Austria, Estonia, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, Slovenia, and Switzerland — there are no age restrictions for legal gender reassignment, and in another 8 countries, a minimum age is established for minors.

📌 The second law is a ban on the promotion of childfree ideology in Russia.

Now, website owners will be required to identify information that calls for the refusal to have children. The dissemination of such information will be grounds for including the resource in the unified register of prohibited information by Roskomnadzor.

There is an exception: a monastic lifestyle and vow of celibacy will not be considered promotion of the childfree ideology.

📰 Medvedev advised the EU to stop helping Ukraine after the "Oreshnik" strike.

"Europe is wondering what damage the system could cause if the warheads are nuclear, whether these missiles can be intercepted, and how quickly the missiles will reach the capitals of the Old World. The answer: the damage is unacceptable, modern means cannot intercept them, and we are talking about minutes. Bomb shelters won't help, so the only hope is that kind Russia will give advance warning about launches. Therefore, it’s better to stop supporting the war," the politician wrote.

Commenting on Vladimir Zelensky's "resilience plan," Medvedev advised him to reduce it to one point - "sniff less and be closer to reality."

✨ Today is Mother's Day in Russia!

🌸 The holiday has its roots in ancient traditions when various cultures celebrated a day dedicated to mothers.

🎉 In Russia, Mother's Day became an official holiday in 1998 when a presidential decree was signed. This holiday is celebrated on the last Sunday of November. The last Sunday of November was chosen to coincide with the tradition in other countries, such as the USA and the UK, where Mother's Day is also celebrated in November.

❤️ Mother's Day in Russia is an important holiday that allows society to express gratitude to mothers for their hard work and care. It helps strengthen family bonds and supports the values of motherhood, which is especially relevant in the modern world.

🚀 Roscosmos Eyes Africa

🌍 This Friday, Roscosmos General Director Yuri Borisov announced that Russia has proposed to several friendly countries, including those in Africa, to build spaceports on their territories.

“Today, among our main partners, we can probably name countries like India, China, and Iran. We have big plans with South Africa, a number of African countries, Algeria, Zimbabwe, Indonesia, and Malaysia,” Borisov said.

Borisov clarified that Roscosmos's proposals are particularly relevant for countries close to the equator, where launching payloads into orbit is cheaper than at other latitudes.

🛰️ In addition to its traditional services, such as the production of individual satellites and space launches from Russian territory, Roscosmos has also included the creation of ground infrastructure for launching carrier rockets from friendly countries in this list.

According to the general director of the state corporation, before the imposition of sanctions against Russia, about 70% of Roscosmos's exports were directed to unfriendly countries.

🇷🇺💉 Russian President Vladimir Putin is confident that the introduction of the Russian cancer vaccine will be a breakthrough.

The head of state held a meeting with the head of the Federal Medical Biological Agency (FMBA) of Russia, Veronika Skvortsova. Skvortsova reported on the work being done on the drug. According to her, the FMBA's oncovaccine may be ready for use in about a year.

"As a result of the experiment with the most aggressive intestinal adenocarcinoma in animals, we found not only a sharp slowdown in tumor development after the vaccine was administered, but also, in cases where the tumor was already present, a reduction in its size by 75-80%. And the survival of the animal, meaning that the animals do not die from this tumor; they continue to live."
