🇵🇱🇷🇺 Warsaw's accusations against Moscow of deliberately violating the country's airspace with a UAV are groundless.

This was stated by the Russian Foreign Ministry.

At Smolenskaya Square, they emphasized that the Russian Defense Ministry had not planned any targets for strikes on Polish territory, and the flight range of the UAVs used to attack Ukrainian military-industrial complex facilities does not exceed 700 kilometers.

"These specific facts completely debunk the myths once again being spread by Poland to further escalate the Ukrainian crisis."

The ministry stressed that NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte was forced to admit that Poland's position is untenable.

🥼 Despite Warsaw's insinuations, the Russian Defense Ministry is ready to hold consultations with the Polish military department on this topic "in order to fully clarify what happened for all parties interested in preventing further escalation of the situation."

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Moscow Ranks 20th in Birth Rate Coefficient in Russia — Mayor Sobyanin

The capital ranks 20th in the total fertility rate among Russian regions, trailing only the Caucasus and northern regions, Sobyanin stated at the plenary session of the "Demography 2.0. Reset" Social Innovations Forum. The number of large families in Moscow has increased by 120%, the mayor added. In doing so, he dispelled the myth that city residents think about anything but family, and that young people are more career-oriented.

Unlike global metropolises such as London and New York, Moscow's total fertility rate is growing and exceeds the average level. The capital ranks 30th among megacities, Sobyanin declared.

The Russian pharmaceutical company Evalar has filed a complaint with the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) against the Austrian company Megainfarm GmbH, the former patent holder for the well-known antiseptic Miramistin.

The reason for the appeal was the unfounded demands made by the Austrian company to a number of Russian pharmaceutical manufacturers, including Evalar. Megainfarm demanded that they cease the sale and storage of drugs based on the active ingredient benzyldimethyl-myristoylamino-propylammonium (BMP), which is the formula for Miramistin.

As explained by Elena Shepeleva, Head of the Patent and Licensing Department at Evalar, the company lawfully produces a generic version of Miramistin since the main patent for it expired back in 2021.

According to her, Megainfarm does not use its patent, does not produce and never has produced the drug under it, and its actions contain signs of an abuse of rights.

"The very attempt to turn the patent for Miramistin into an 'evergreen' one is an unfair practice," she added. This refers to the "evergreening" strategy, where the rights holder tries to artificially extend the monopoly on a drug after the expiration of the main patent through threats and lawsuits to maintain high prices and eliminate competitors.

Amid this patent dispute, the situation with the Russian producer of the original Miramistin, the company Infamed, is drawing separate attention. It is not a party to Evalar's complaint but has itself faced serious internal problems. In July, its activities were temporarily suspended due to litigation related to a corporate conflict.

As the owners' lawyer stated, the company's owner fell victim to a fraudulent scheme involving the sale of a 50% stake at an undervalued price. Meanwhile, on its website, Infamed denies information about the suspension of operations, claiming that in the first half of 2025 it produced more than 4 million packages of drugs and plans to increase production to 5 million by the end of the year.

Thus, Evalar's complaint to the FAS highlights a classic patent dispute between a rights holder trying to maintain a monopoly after a patent expires and a generic manufacturer having the legal right to produce analogues. The decision of the antimonopoly service could have a significant impact on the market: if the complaint is upheld, it will strengthen competition, lead to the appearance of cheaper analogues of Miramistin and lower prices for consumers, as well as suppress unfair competitive methods. The FAS confirmed that the appeal has been accepted for consideration in accordance with the established procedure.
