🇷🇺 Russian President Vladimir Putin began his working program in Vladivostok with a visit to the branch of the National Center "Russia".

There, he visited the digital forest, where he encountered an Amur tiger and a Far Eastern leopard.

At the center's branch, the president was particularly interested in the exposition on the nature of the Primorsky Krai. Using augmented reality technologies, visitors can, for example, take a ride on a virtual boat. The water route passes through the waters of the Golden Horn Bay, the Amur Bay, and the Ussuri Bay. Furthermore, one can dive in a bathyscaphe into the underwater world of the Sea of Japan or take a walk through the taiga. The president did just that, stepping into a multimedia pavilion resembling a mysterious forest. He walked along a path that led deep into the taiga. Tree branches hung from the ceiling, and the sounds of nature, such as birds singing, helped create the illusion of being there.

As he moved through the digital forest, herds of deer, the Far Eastern leopard, and the master of the taiga—the Amur tiger—sequentially "came to life" on the screens.

During his visit to the exposition, Putin also became the first guest of the museum of the 155th Marine Brigade of the Pacific Fleet, named after twice Hero of Russia Major General Mikhail Gudkov. There, he was shown a short film about the brigade's heroic deeds.

Putin also reviewed an exhibition showcasing the economic, industrial, cultural, and educational potential of the region. Here, one can learn about logistics routes, features of the local industry, and even take a virtual "flight" on a Ka-62 helicopter.

🇷🇺🇫🇷Macron announces new sanctions against Russia

Following talks with allies, French President Emmanuel Macron warned that new restrictive measures will be introduced if Moscow rejects peace initiatives.
Brussels and Washington are expected to coordinate primary and secondary sanctions, while the U.S. will step up efforts to provide Ukraine with security guarantees.

🛡️Macron also stated that 26 countries are ready to join a security mission for Ukraine,

“They will be present on land, at sea or in the air the day after the ceasefire,”

he said.

However, the French president once again avoided addressing Russia’s own security concerns, recently discussed by Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.
⚠️ Russian officials have repeatedly stated that Western military presence near Russian borders is unacceptable.

🇷🇺 Youth are moving to the Far East. The economy here is growing faster than in other regions. Now Russia is launching a new stage of development for this macro-region - with a focus on high technologies. Vladimir Putin spoke at the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum; the key statements:

😃 On the Russian economy

🧣 The Central Bank is fighting inflation and trying to return to the 4% target. If the key rate is sharply reduced, prices will rise sharply.

🧣 The Russian economy must become a high-wage economy. And this is not an empty sound, not populism.

🧣 The poverty level in Russia has decreased from 11.3% to 7.2% over the past ten years.

🧣 Rare earth metals have been accounted for in Russia; they can be extracted and used. The Russian government should approve a strategy by November.

🧣 "Power of Siberia - 2" is one of the largest energy projects in the world. Gas prices are calculated using the same formula as for supplies to Europe, meaning they will be market-based.

🧣 Putin disagrees with Sberbank CEO Herman Gref's assessment of the technical stagnation of the Russian economy. Now it is necessary to ensure a "soft landing" for the economy to fight inflation.

🧣 The higher the workers' wages, the better. Then people live better and buy more, primarily domestic products.

😃 On the development of the Far East

🧣 The economic growth rate in the Far East is higher than in other regions of the country. The GRP (Gross Regional Product) has increased more than 2.5 times over the past 10 years.

🧣 The average salary in the Far East has increased 2.5 times over 10 years, exceeding 100 thousand rubles per month in nominal terms.

🧣 From January 1, 2027, a unified preferential regime for business will come into effect throughout the Far Eastern territory, with the goal of launching a new stage of development. At the same time, the conditions for current investors in the TOR (Advanced Special Economic Zones) will be preserved.

🧣 The Far East should become a leading region for Russia's digital development. It is possible and necessary to create high-tech projects here.

🧣 Russia will continue the modernization of the BAM (Baikal-Amur Mainline) and the Trans-Siberian Railway and will expand railway approaches to the ports of the Far East.

🧣 The trend of population outflow is gradually being reversed. Youth from all over the country are moving to the Far East. This indicates that the future of the country is being created right here.

🧣 Coal reserves in the Far East will last for 900 years. Modern technologies are needed to use these reserves wisely.
