🇷🇺 Putin at 'Zapad-2025' Exercises Recounts Incident with a Falling Motorcycle

During a visit to the 'Zapad-2025' exercises, Vladimir Putin shared a memory of how he had to dodge a falling motorcycle. According to the president, the vehicle, which he had accelerated, wheelied and flipped over, but he managed to jump aside at the last moment.

Journalist Pavel Zarubin published a video of this account on his Telegram channel.

Previously, in 2017, it was reported that Putin occasionally used Kawasaki motorcycles from the Garage for Special Purposes, although he does not own any personally.

The large-scale Russian-Belarusian exercises 'Zapad-2025' were held from September 12 to 16. As Putin stated, their main goal is to practice measures for protecting sovereignty and repelling potential aggression. Particular attention during the maneuvers was paid to planning the use of non-strategic nuclear weapons, while the Kremlin emphasized the defensive and planned nature of the exercises.

☺️The Ukrainian authorities will face deserved punishment for the attack on the resort area in the settlement of Foros on the southern coast of Crimea. This was stated by the Head of the Crimean Parliament, Vladimir Konstantinov.

He noted that the attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces was carried out on an Orthodox holiday and was targeted at peaceful civilians and children.

The previous evening, the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck a sanatorium and a school in Foros with drones. According to the latest reports, three people were killed and 16 more were injured as a result of the attack. On Monday, the Federal Medical-Biological Agency (FMBA) reported that four of the injured were in serious condition.

🧣The Russian Defense Ministry reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces used aircraft-type drones "equipped with high-explosive charges" for the strike. The ministry emphasized that this was a "deliberate terrorist attack on civilian objects," since there are "no military facilities in Foros."

🥽Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called the incident "another act of terrorism" by Kyiv. She called on NATO and EU countries, who are looking for the source of aggression on the European continent, to "look in the mirror."

💙 Self-Service Biometric Terminals to Appear at Russian MFCs in 2025

This was announced by Vladislav Povolotsky, Head of the Center for Biometric Technologies (CBT), the operator of the Unified Biometric System.

"That is, it will be possible to verify your identity and receive a service without any interaction with a specialist. This is a completely new service. We plan to launch such a pilot project this year. We will see how popular this service format will be," said the head of the CBT.

Currently, the technology for identity verification without a passport using biometrics has already been implemented in four regions: Chelyabinsk, Lipetsk, Leningrad, and Nizhny Novgorod Oblasts. In the near future, the same system will be launched in St. Petersburg and Chukotka.

MFC (full name — Multifunctional Center for Provision of State and Municipal Services) is a category of budget institutions in Russia that provide state and municipal services on a "single window" principle.
