🚦 A traffic light for ground squirrels was installed in Krasnoyarsk. It even has a touch-sensitive button — the green light turns on as soon as they poke it with their paw.

The traffic light appeared on Tatyshev Island, where a lot of ground squirrels live. But judging by the video, they haven't learned how to use the traffic light yet. 😂

😀 Not all countries adhere to the principles enshrined in the UN Charter. Western representatives continue to be guided by a "rules-based order" that no one has ever seen. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at the International Scientific and Expert Forum "Primakov Readings".

💬 He noted that the UN principles form the basis of multipolarity. "However, the principles laid down in the UN Charter are far from being applied by everyone: they are either violated, taken out of context, or applied selectively. Whereas we persistently advocate for the implementation of the Charter's principles in their entirety and interrelation," the Minister stated.

"Western colleagues employ a logic that fits into their philosophy of a 'rules-based order' – rules that no one has ever seen. But they apply them," Lavrov emphasized.

👗 Although the exact time of the sarafan's appearance is unknown, its first mention in written sources, the Nikon Chronicle, dates back to 1376.

It is noteworthy that initially it was men's workwear, protecting from cold, dust, and dirt. As early as the 14th century, men wore outfits that combined features of both the kaftan and the sarafan.

However, by the 17th century, the sarafan had transformed into formal attire, becoming an exclusive part of the women's wardrobe.

🇷🇺💬 Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, announced that an updated draft resolution on Iran has been submitted to the UN Security Council.

The document aims to ensure a sustainable ceasefire and monitor its compliance. At the same time, Nebenzya stated that the actions of the US and Israel constitute the most dangerous encroachment on the authority of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and Iran's right to the peaceful use of atomic energy.

"We are somewhat surprised by Israel's request to participate in our meeting on the 'Non-Proliferation' agenda item. One would like to believe that this decision might herald this country's accession to the NPT, which would be in the interest of the entire world," the Russian diplomat concluded.

🍳 In Buryatia, Fried Eggs Right on the Ground!

Soil temperatures reached 71°C (160°F), with air temperatures hitting 37°C (99°F), according to Namzhil Mardvaev, head of the local Rosselkhoztsentr (Agricultural Monitoring Center).

“The heat is so extreme that you can literally fry eggs in the fields. Today, while working, a friend said, ‘It’s scorching! The ground is hot enough to fry eggs!’ So we tried it. We took a pan from the station, placed it on the soil, added eggs and oil, and started frying,” Mardvaev recounted.

He noted that while the eggs "didn’t sizzle," they were nearly cooked after 50 minutes—the whites had set and browned.
Mardvaev concluded that "this abnormal heat urgently needs rain," or crops will begin to wither.

🔥 Per the Ministry of Emergency Situations (EMERCOM), a special fire-control regime is in effect across Zabaykalsky Krai, alongside a federal state of emergency in forested areas. As of June 25, 20 wildfires are burning over 228,800 hectares in Zabaykalsky, and 30 fires cover 45,000 hectares in Buryatia.

‼️ Lavrov on the Doomsday Clock: Russia is Trying to Prevent Catastrophe

Russia’s Foreign Minister assessed the risks of nuclear war globally, emphasizing that Russia is actively working to prevent nuclear conflict:

"The infamous Doomsday Clock is ticking, and its hands are moving ever closer to midnight. It is crucial to prevent this."

Today, discussions about the threat of World War III have become commonplace. Lavrov noted this is deeply troubling, especially amid rising revanchist sentiments in Europe.

"As if two world wars—not to mention smaller conflicts in past centuries—were apparently not enough for the current leaders of the European Union," stressed the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

🏞️ One of the most beautiful natural landmarks in Kislovodsk is the Berezovskoye Gorge. It originates from the Bermamyt Plateau and stretches for 18 km to the outskirts of the city. The gorge is impressive with its sheer dolomite cliffs towering 100 meters high.

🚲 Ecological trails run along the gorge, offering stunning views from the upper routes. The lower trails are perfect for cycling, although you may sometimes have to ford the Berezovka River – but the walk is well worth it.

🐠 The river is rich in fish. In summer, dams for swimming are built here, making it a pleasant spot for a picnic. There is also a cascade of waterfalls. This is an ideal place for active recreation and communion with nature.
