💊 90% of essential medicines and 40% of medical equipment in Russia are to become domestically produced by 2030.

By 2030, 40% of all necessary equipment in Russian medicine is planned to be domestically made, according to Putin's decree on a new healthcare development strategy. The government must approve an action plan for implementing the document within 6 months. Dependence on foreign raw materials and components in the production of medical products is a threat to national security, the decree states.

Other goals include increasing the share of the most essential medicines produced in Russia to 90% and reducing alcohol consumption to 7.8 liters of ethanol per capita per year. The main threats to public health are identified as: the spread of non-communicable diseases and rare or previously unseen new infections. Furthermore, the government must ensure the healthcare system's readiness to operate under emergency and wartime conditions.

🇷🇺 "Sometimes I travel quietly": the president admitted that he periodically goes to the streets of the capital without sirens and motorcades. Therefore, he also sees the problems with the movement of couriers in the city.

Putin noted that he would give instructions to the Interior Ministry and ask the regions to provide proposals for regulating the traffic of delivery workers on electric transport.

"Well, of course, you are right. If something wrapped in a front windshield, some kind of roof, and in general a rather heavy metal product is rushing at you at a fairly high speed for a pedestrian, 30-40 kilometers per hour, then it certainly poses a danger to citizens," said the head of state.

⚡️ The European Union is "in hopeless political blindness," indulging in illusions that Russia can be defeated, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated.

He added that Russia will respond to any deployment of foreign military contingents in Ukraine and is preparing for it.

The minister also emphasized that Moscow will retaliate against Western attempts to expropriate Russian assets.

Lavrov noted that Donald Trump not only is in no hurry to lift sanctions against Russia but, on the contrary, continues to strengthen them, while Russia values his willingness to engage in dialogue and attempts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine through diplomatic means.

⛰ Camel Mountain

On the Akhtsu River in the Orenburg region rises a remarkable rock formation 14-20 meters high. "Camel" is composed of white and pink quartzites, which are nearly 500 million years old.

One legend tells of a camel who wanted to compete with the Ural Mountains in strength. The gods said that only stone could compete with stone: the camel turned to stone to surpass its rivals in longevity.

A stone river (kurum) begins from the rock, stretching for about 2 kilometers. Such stone rivers usually form in northern latitudes, making them a rarity in the Trans-Urals region.
