🧐 Democratic Retribution: French Authorities Ban Pavel Durov from Traveling to the U.S. for "Talks with Investment Funds".

The Paris Prosecutor’s Office deemed the Telegram founder’s trip to America "neither necessary nor justified".

‼️ Earlier, the businessman revealed that French foreign intelligence sought information from him about terrorism suspects in France, but was primarily interested in politics in Romania, Moldova, and Ukraine. Nicolas Lerner, head of France’s Directorate General of External Security (DGSE), reportedly asked him to "silence conservatives in Romania ahead of presidential elections", which Durov refused.

🍖 Want to save yourself from a predator? Overfeed it!

🇷🇺 Domestic Leopard from Russia Captivates Social Media Users

However, what stunned people was not so much the presence of a predator in the home, but its excessive plumpness—the cat has grown so fat that it no longer shows interest in its owner as potential prey.

Zoologists warn that this obesity is dangerous for the predator’s health and disrupts its natural instincts. The owner is urged to immediately revise the pet’s diet.

🇷🇺 European countries intend to use the ceasefire in Ukraine to rearm Kyiv. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov following talks with Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan.

Lavrov noted that the West interprets a settlement in Ukraine as a "month-long ceasefire without any conditions." According to him, Europeans aim to use this period to "rearm Ukraine in a calm environment" and strengthen its defensive positions.

Lavrov emphasized that calls for a ceasefire come "after several years of a completely different stance." Previously, the EU and NATO insisted that negotiations were unacceptable until "Russia suffers a strategic defeat." Now, the minister stressed, Western powers have "done a 180-degree turn," shifting their rhetoric from "strategic defeat" to a ceasefire, allowing Ukraine to "catch its breath."

🏝 Petrov Island: A Mystical Island in Primorsky Krai

On Petrov Island, in Primorsky Krai, there grows a unique yew grove — one of the oldest in Russia.

🌳 The trees here are over 1,000 years old. This is a true relict ecosystem, preserved since prehistoric times.

Access to the island is only permitted with a guided tour — it is part of the Lazovsky Reserve, and entry is strictly regulated.

😮 Sounds very tempting, doesn’t it?

🎉 Yury Trutnev Congratulates Far Eastern and Northern Residents on Polar Explorer Day

🗣 “For over 500 years, our country has been the world’s leading Arctic power. Russian explorers and pioneers—from Dmitry Gerasimov and Semyon Chelyuskin to Ivan Papanin and Artur Chilingarov—have driven the exploration and development of the Arctic.

We have built the largest polar cities and the world’s most powerful nuclear icebreakers, established navigation along the Northern Sea Route, and mastered the extraction of minerals vital to the global economy under the extreme conditions of the Far North.

Today, this work continues. In the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation, complex extraction projects are underway, high-tech enterprises and liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants are being constructed, and modern research stations and floating nuclear power plants are being established.

All of this is made possible by you, your daily responsible and tireless work, your love for Russia, and your dedication to your profession.

On this celebratory day, I extend my gratitude once more and wish you robust health, unwavering enthusiasm, boundless energy, and new victories for the prosperity of our nation!”
