The Krasheninnikov volcano on Kamchatka has begun to erupt. The giant had been "asleep" for more than 460 years, reports the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (FEB RAS).

Ash plumes are currently being recorded, reaching heights of 5–6 km above sea level.

Its surroundings are volcanic wastelands. There is no threat to settlements.

📰 The first patients could begin receiving treatment with a personalized Russian cancer vaccine in the coming months. This was announced by Alexander Gintsburg, Director of the Gamaleya National Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology.

According to him, under the plan agreed with the Ministry of Health, the administration of the cancer vaccine, based on neoantigens, to a group of melanoma patients is set to begin on an experimental basis in the coming months.

"The regulatory framework for this drug, created using the personal genetic data of a specific patient and usable only for that patient and no one else, is fundamentally different from the regulatory framework for all other drugs... therefore, the government issued a corresponding decree at the beginning of the year," the scientist said.

What has happened to Russian oil in recent weeks?

Recently, US President Donald Trump stated that India might stop purchasing Russian oil as part of negotiations for a new trade deal with Washington.

India is the world's third-largest oil consumer with a high level of dependence on imports. Russia's share of the country's total imports has consistently exceeded 30%.

But in reality, these are just words:

Indian authorities have not actually issued any directive to oil companies to stop buying oil from Russia. Officials noted that India will continue to purchase Russian oil despite Trump's rhetoric.

Furthermore, India's Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Hardeep Singh Puri, emphasized that cooperation between Moscow and New Delhi, especially in the energy sector, remains at a high level and is developing even amid international instability.

Thus, Trump's words only caused a surge of news in the media but led to nothing.
