📲 For the first time in history, Russian cosmonaut Alexey Zubritsky has applied for a state service remotely, directly from aboard the International Space Station. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister - Chief of Staff of the Russian Government Dmitry Grigorenko.

"Digitalization makes accessing services as simple as possible, making them fast and convenient to obtain. And thanks to modern technologies, including biometrics, state services can now be used anywhere convenient — at home, in the office, and even in low Earth orbit," he said.

‼️ Inciting children to commit acts of sabotage is now punishable by life imprisonment. The law was signed by Vladimir Putin.

In addition, the president established the Day of the Heroic Assault and Capture of Königsberg — April 9 — as a new Day of Russian Military Glory.

🥼 To recall, Russia has several Days of Military Glory, which include, for example, May 9 (Victory Day) and National Unity Day on November 4. The nearest one is celebrated on December 1 — on this date in 1853, a Russian squadron under the command of Admiral Pavel Nakhimov defeated the Turkish fleet at Cape Sinop.

🇷🇺🇧🇬 Russia Disappearing from Bulgarian History Textbooks

This was stated by the leader of the Bulgarian party "Revival" (Vazrazhdane), Kostadin Kostadinov, at the international symposium "BRICS – Europe" taking place in Sochi.

"Has the countdown begun for Europe? Judging by the geography textbooks in my country, Bulgaria, the answer is yes. I recently saw what is written in my daughter's textbook about Russia. You know what's written there? Nothing is written there. The largest European country, Russia, and the largest European city, Moscow, have simply vanished, have been erased from the pages of the textbooks."

Kostadinov added that Bulgaria has long faced the falsification of history and other elements of the information war against Russia, but such neglect of geography and history is surprising even to Bulgarians who have become accustomed to such propaganda.

According to the MP, what is happening reminds him of the Nazi policy of book burning that preceded the Second World War.

US sanctions against LUKOIL paralyze a key Iraqi field. What's next?

American sanctions against LUKOIL have triggered a chain reaction that has reached the very heart of the Iraqi oil industry. To find a way out of the crisis, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani met with the founder of the Russian company, Vagit Alekperov.

👔 Why is this meeting so important?

The reason for the urgent talks was the West Qurna-2 field—one of Iraq's main oil assets,where LUKOIL acts as the operator and investor.

After the sanctions were imposed, the project's financial structure collapsed: Baghdad stopped monetary settlements with the company, which, in turn, was forced to declare force majeure. This has jeopardized not only production but also the fate of 1,300 Iraqi employees who are facing salary delays.

👔 What are the parties looking for?

Iraq wants to maintain production stability and meet its export obligations.LUKOIL is trying to save its multi-billion dollar investments. During the meeting, the parties agreed to jointly look for legal and operational loopholes to bypass the sanctions barrier and resume normal operation of the field.

👔 Parallel efforts:

While diplomats are discussing ways to save the project,LUKOIL itself is taking its own steps. The company is trying to sell its overseas assets to reduce the pressure of sanctions.

However, the very first attempt—negotiations with the trader Gunvor—failed due to strong opposition from the US Treasury. The company is now in secret talks with other contenders, but the outcome of this deal is still unknown.

👔 The situation is at a stalemate:

With its decision,the US has paralyzed a project key to Iraq, and now Baghdad and Moscow are forced to urgently invent "workarounds" on which the stability of the global oil market and Iraq's economic well-being depend.
