🇷🇺 "If they are terrorists, why are you interfering?" — Putin on NATO's activities in Syria.

In response to a question from a journalist from the USA, Putin noted that American media want to portray what is happening in Syria as a defeat for Russia, but that is not the case. The president emphasized that Russia is interested in establishing peace in Syria.

"What are you interfering for?" the Russian leader reasonably asked. Putin pointed out that Russia intervened in Syria 10 years ago. When groups of the "armed opposition" approached Aleppo with 350 militants, the government forces retreated without a fight.

🇷🇺 "It was impossible to remain in the state we were in," — Putin on the reasons for the special military operation.

Vladimir Putin responded to a question about whether he would change his decision if he could return to February 2022. The president stated that if he could go back in time, he would not just stick to his decision—Putin believes that the special operation should have started earlier.

The president also mentioned that over the past three years, he has joked and laughed much less. The decision to initiate the special operation was necessary—it was prompted by the deception following the Minsk agreements and eight years of terror in Donbas. It was impossible to continue in such a mode. Putin emphasized that better preparation for active actions was needed, noting that the events in Crimea in 2014 were spontaneous.

🇷🇺 "Yes, I believe we not only safeguarded it — we stepped back from the brink of disaster," — this is how the President of Russia responded to a provocative question from a BBC journalist about whether he safeguarded Russia.

Vladimir Putin provided a detailed response to the BBC journalist's question, who, citing the special military operation, sanctions, inflation, and demographic issues, asked whether the Russian president believes he has safeguarded Russia. The head of state emphasized that everything that happened before led our country to a total loss of sovereignty, and without sovereignty, Russia cannot exist as an independent state.

Additionally, in response to a mention of Boris Yeltsin, who advised him to protect Russia, the President noted that in the West, they patted him on the back patronizingly and did not notice that he even "took a drink." However, as soon as Yeltsin spoke out in defense of Yugoslavia and stated that it contradicted international law and the UN charter, and that it was unacceptable in modern Europe to strike Belgrade, the capital of a European state, he was immediately persecuted and insulted. Vladimir Putin remarked that he did everything to ensure that Russia remained a sovereign power.

🔝 The first artificial heart

📆 It was in 1937 that Vladimir Demikhov, then a third-year student, created the world's first artificial heart.

💗 The compact pump with valves and an electric motor allowed for maintaining circulation. With its help, it was possible to keep a test dog alive for over two hours.

🔖 Such devices give patients the opportunity to live until a donor heart transplant.

🇷🇺👨‍🚀 Russian cosmonauts went into open space to install scientific equipment

🔍 Alexey Ovchinin and Ivan Wagner installed a spectrometer on the service module "Zvezda." It is capable of observing more than 80% of the celestial sphere and will help scientists determine the number of supermassive black holes in the universe.

😳 The cosmonauts will then dismantle scientific equipment from the "Poisk" module. They are expected to spend 6 hours and 43 minutes outside the station, in open space.

❄️ Snow Hunter

🔥 The head of one of the municipalities in the city, Yuri Kulikov, released a video where instead of the usual winter shovel, he holds a flamethrower.

"Of course, we would like to remove all the snow and ice in our city with such a flamethrower, but that's just fantasy. It is much more important to have coordinated work from the utility services and the involvement of concerned citizens," Kulikov said.

🌨 According to the official's idea, the video is meant to motivate local authorities to clear the snow.

"I wanted not only to remove the snow but also to shoot a bright video for those who might come out for a community cleanup. It really should be organized," the head of the municipality added.

Would you go out to clear the snow after watching such a video?

👑 Could the Metro have appeared during the Tsar's reign?

🚇 May 15, 1935 — a date that forever remains in the history of the capital. It was on this day that the first train on the Moscow Metro line traveled through the underground tunnels, ushering in a new era in the city's transportation system. There is a legend that the metro could have appeared in Moscow much earlier, during the Tsar's time!

😦 The first projects for the creation of an urban underground railway began to be developed in the 19th century. However, they did not receive proper evaluation and were rejected. One of the reasons the metro was not built was the intervention of the clergy. Clergymen claimed that "man, created in the image and likeness of God, can humiliate himself by descending into the abyss." These words became a barrier to ambitious plans, and the ideas of underground railways remained only on paper.

📆 Nevertheless, despite all the obstacles, the dream of the metro did not fade. In the 1930s, when the country was undergoing significant changes, the idea of building an underground railway regained relevance. And so, after decades of waiting, the Moscow Metro opened its doors to passengers, becoming a symbol of progress and modernity.

✨ Today, the Moscow Metro is not only the most beautiful in the world but also an entire underground museum. Each station is a work of art, reflecting the history and spirit of Russia.

What do you think would have changed in the lives of Muscovites if the metro had appeared in the 19th century?

🇷🇺 War has been declared on the Russian world today, Putin said

🇺🇦🇷🇺Today ukrainian army deliberately struck Rylsk on New Year's Eve. In 2023 they did the same, shelling the center of Belgorod right on New Year's Eve. Then the AFU struck Sobornaya Square, the local shopping center, the Central Market and the university - all those places where people congregate on New Year's Eve. This time one of the targets was the House of Culture, where preparations for New Year's Eve events were taking place.

🇺🇸 The AFU used Himars and ATACMS missiles with cluster warheads to shell Rylsk, so that there were as many casualties as possible. According to various reports, about 50 strikes hit the city, 6 people were killed, including a child - the total number of killed and wounded is being specified. With such attacks they try to show their impunity. However, the Russian army never shoots at civilians and will not be likened to the enemy. The AFU is waiting for an imminent retaliatory strike - but it will be struck at military targets.

🚌 In 1889, Hippolyte Romanov, the creator of the first Russian electric vehicle, developed an electric bus.

🏃 It could accommodate 15 people, reached a speed of up to 11 km/h, and had a range of 60-70 km.

📍 In Gatchina, test runs were even conducted, and it seemed that the launch of electric omnibuses on the route was on the horizon.

🪙 The St. Petersburg Duma gave permission for this, but Romanov was unable to secure funding, and the first electric buses never went into production.

📰 This morning, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) carried out a terrorist act against civilians by attacking Kazan with unguided AN-196 "Lyuty" drones. These drones are capable of travelling distances of up to 1,000 kilometres.

🏘 According to the regional headquarters, eight arrivals were recorded: one on an industrial enterprise, one over a river, and six on residential buildings.

🇩🇪 The drones were equipped with an internal combustion engine of the German-designed Hirth F-23. Such a model flies at predetermined coordinates rather than being manually controlled.

👩‍👩‍👦 Today's attack was not planned as an attempt to attack a specific target, but to terrorise civilian civilians in their own home. Previously, a similar drone had already been used to strike near Moscow, then the attack started in the early morning when people were resting on their day off.

💬 "It felt like you were watching 9/11 and the Twin Towers." - said a Kazan resident about today's terrorist attack.

📌 This terrorist attack clearly demonstrates what Zelensky's regime is really like and what actions the West actually supports.
