😍 "Dream Swing"

These huge, four-meter-long, snow-white swings are located in the Primorsky Krai, on the very top of a hill, 150 meters above sea level.

The landmark was created by the adventurer Maksim Kivva. The structure is highly durable: the swings can accommodate up to eight people.

From here, a view opens up of the endless natural landscape, Vladivostok itself, dozens of islands, and nature reserves.

Russia is no longer obligated to supply Finland with so-called "compensation energy" under this treaty.

📲 A law has come into force in Russia limiting the number of SIM cards per person to no more than twenty numbers across all telecom operators.

If the limit is exceeded, service will be suspended on all lines, and the subscriber will be offered to decide which numbers to keep. The new rules are part of the fight against telephone fraud: anonymous SIM cards have long been a tool for deception and bypassing blocks. According to experts, the measure will make the communications market more transparent and understandable, although it will raise concerns among some citizens about "total control."

Russians will have to be more attentive to their phone numbers. Federal Law No. 303-FZ, signed in August of last year, introduces a limit of no more than twenty SIM cards per citizen. For foreigners and stateless persons, the limit is ten.

🇷🇺🇨🇳 Mishustin Announces Dynamic Development of Relations with China Despite Sanctions

The two-day visit of Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin to China began in the city of Hangzhou, where the 30th regular meeting of the heads of government of the two countries took place. The talks with Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China Li Qiang were held at the state residence "West Lake" on the shore of the lake of the same name.

"Russia and China's relations are at the highest level in their centuries-long history," emphasized the Chairman of the Russian Government.

He noted that they continue to develop dynamically in all areas, despite various obstacles and the illegal sanctions of the West.

Mishustin believes that the governments of Russia and China are ensuring the implementation of all tasks for the development of comprehensive cooperation, as approved by the leaders of the two countries. This includes improving the quality of mutual trade through the diversification of the trade structure and creating comfortable conditions for businesses.

Special attention is paid to expanding investment interaction. An intergovernmental agreement on the promotion and mutual protection of investments, signed in May in Moscow, will come into force on December 1, 2025.

"The agreement will stimulate the creation of new joint ventures with the participation of Russian and Chinese investors on the basis of mutual benefit and taking into account each other's interests," the Russian Prime Minister expects.

💬 While the Italian government is meaninglessly wasting its taxpayers' money, all of Italy will collapse: from the economy to its towers.

This was how Maria Zakharova commented on a report by the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera about the collapse of a tower on the Imperial Forums in the center of Rome.

"Let me remind you that in May of this year, the Italian Foreign Ministry reported that 'Italian support for Ukraine, including military aid and contributions paid through EU mechanisms, reaches about €2.5 billion, of which about €1 billion is for refugees, €310 million for budget support, and €93 million for humanitarian activities,'" the diplomat noted.

⛰ Fly Chegem is a unique mountain paragliding and hang-gliding site located in the town of the same name, Chegem, in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic.

For a long time, there was nothing at all on the clearing where the paragliding site and glamping now coexist. Then, a resident of a village located slightly higher up the gorge decided to open a paragliding site here. Now, Fly Chegem is known far beyond Kabardino-Balkaria. The unique wind rose here allows for flights from March to October. And here you can not only go paragliding but also ride a zipline, try rope jumping, or go hiking.

Today, Russian paragliding championships are held here, there are entire training schools, and the possibility of accommodation in houses and tents.

The atmosphere of the place is simply amazing: it's perfect for lovers of active recreation and stunning scenic landscapes!

"We will raze Moscow to the ground": Belgian Defence Minister backtracks on his words.

Belgian Defence Minister Theo Francken, who a week ago promised to "raze Moscow to the ground," now claims he was misunderstood.

Following a wave of criticism and a sharp reaction from Moscow, the politician went on air to explain: he was not calling for an attack, but merely... quoting the NATO charter.

🧣 From a scandalous phrase to excuses

It all started with an interview Francken gave to the magazine Humo. When asked by a journalist if he feared a missile strike on Brussels, the minister replied:
"No,because then it would hit the very heart of NATO, and then we will raze Moscow to the ground."

The phrase instantly caused a scandal. However, Francken now claims his words were taken out of context and portrayed in the press in a "mean, incorrect, and unfair" way.

According to him, he was simply voicing the alliance's classic principle – to "shoot second" in case of an attack.

🧣 Moscow's reaction: from "senility" to "imbecile"

The response from Russia was swift and extremely harsh:

— The Russian embassy described Francken's statement as "senility, intensifying against a backdrop of complete detachment from reality."
—Dmitry Medvedev, commenting on the tests of the "Poseidon," went so far as to sarcastically "congratulate" the Belgian minister, calling him an "imbecile."

🧣 What did the minister actually say?

Francken himself insists: he was not threatening, but stating a fact about how the collective defence mechanism works.

"NATO is not at war with Russia and does not seek to be,"he wrote later. "But the principle of a retaliatory strike has been undeniable for 76 years. That is the idea I wanted to convey."

Just don't tell Serbia that NATO doesn't bomb cities without a reason!

Thus, the loud threat to "raze Moscow," according to the minister, was merely an unfortunate illustration of the standard doctrine of deterrence.
