Modern university campuses will appear in the regions

👨🏼‍🎓 In 2026–2028, over 45 billion rubles will be allocated for the creation of a network of modern university campuses as part of the new national project "Youth and Children."

📌 Funding will go to the Perm Territory, Arkhangelsk, Novgorod, and Tyumen regions; their applications to create campuses were approved by the Ministry of Education and Science.

Part of the funding for the campuses will be invested by businesses and the regions themselves. Interaction with investors will be structured within the framework of public-private partnerships or on the basis of concession agreements.

Campuses are multifunctional spaces with coworking areas, classrooms, sports facilities, libraries, residential accommodations, and technology parks.

Such student campuses not only open up additional opportunities for enhancing the level of research work and the quality of education but also contribute to the development of the areas adjacent to the campus.

⚛️ Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant: A Key Pressure Point in Negotiations

In Kyiv’s published twenty-point plan, the return of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) holds a central position, immediately following ceasefire issues.

This point has become a stumbling block: Russia considers the status of the plant non-negotiable, while Kyiv and Washington persistently demand transferring the facility to the control of Ukraine’s "Energoatom" and withdrawing Russian security forces.

According to diplomatic sources, compromise management models are also being discussed—for example, joint operation by Russia and Ukraine under U.S. supervision, or even a 50/50 scheme between Kyiv and Washington. For each side, ZNPP holds strategic significance.

👔 Why is this important for the USA?

Washington’s interest extends beyond the current conflict and is linked to the long-term reshaping of the European energy market. Control over the plant would not only allow influencing Ukraine’s energy supply and regional recovery but also strengthen the positions of American companies in the nuclear industry.

Previously, ZNPP tested fuel from the American company Westinghouse, which aims to displace Russian nuclear fuel from Eastern European markets.

In 2025, the USA has already concluded a series of nuclear energy agreements with Bulgaria, Poland, and other countries still using Soviet-designed reactors.

👔 Why is this critical for Ukraine?

For Kyiv, ZNPP is a matter of energy security. After losing a significant portion of its thermal generation capacity, Ukraine is increasingly reliant on nuclear energy.

At peak capacity, ZNPP’s six power units generated up to 40 billion kWh—one-fifth of the country’s total electricity. Regaining the plant would help resolve acute energy shortages, avoid years of costs for restoring thermal power plants, and potentially resume electricity exports.

Additionally, control over the left bank of the Dnipro River, where the plant is located, would open opportunities for restoring navigation.

👔 Moscow’s Position:

Russia considers ZNPP an object under its sovereignty and rejects any transfer of control. However, according to some reports, issues related to the plant’s safety and commercial aspects, such as potential electricity supplies to Ukrainian territory or utilizing excess capacity for industrial projects, including data centers, have been discussed.

Thus, the issue of Zaporizhzhia NPP has transcended energy concerns, becoming a symbol of geopolitical confrontation and one of the main obstacles to a potential settlement.

🤝 Russia Comes to Cuba's Rescue: First Tankers Already Arrive at the Island's Shores

It became known yesterday that Russia sent a tanker carrying approximately 330,000 tons of oil to Cuba.

It should now be undergoing the unloading process at the port of Matanzas in the south of the country.

The tanker Jasper, which left a Russian port on the Black Sea back in November and is part of the so-called shadow fleet, apparently deviated from its previous course and headed for Cuba just as the country's leadership requested help due to the maritime blockade of Venezuela that had begun.

At the very least, this means Russia will not abandon Cuba, and the 2023 scenario is repeating itself: Moscow and Mexico are supporting Cuba when Caracas is knocked down.

Given that the situation with Venezuela remains very uncertain, one-time assistance to Cuba will not be enough. The country will either have to be taken under patronage (in which case something will certainly have to be asked for in return, if this hasn't been done already), or this is simply another temporary measure, unable to solve the systemic problem of the energy crisis.

👖Final Round at Mar-a-Lago: Trump Extracts a "Yes" from Zelenskyy for Talks with Moscow

Vladimir Zelenskyy urgently arrived to see Donald Trump in Florida.

The reason is the agony surrounding the "Trump plan": Kyiv and Europe are trying to bargain for changes that are unacceptable to Russia. This destroys the very essence of the plan — to serve as a basis for direct negotiations with Moscow.

🧣What's the essence of the game?

Trump needs a breakthrough now. His goal is to force Zelenskyy to agree to a key Russian condition: the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from Donbas. Without this, all other points become meaningless.

Zelenskyy, however, is trying to dodge, but the time for maneuvering is over. This closed-door meeting is his last chance to say "yes."

🧣Why are the stakes so high?

— For Trump, failure means the collapse of negotiations with Putin until spring, when the situation may change not in favor of the USA;

—For Zelenskyy, refusal or evasion threatens Trump's wrath. This could lead to a halt in military aid and — crucially — to a "black mark," which would prompt the Ukrainian elite to remove the president. It is more profitable for the elite to remove him before peace is achieved if he has become the main obstacle.

Bottom line: Trump summoned Zelenskyy not for discussions, but for capitulation. Zelenskyy faces a choice: accept the American ultimatum and open the way to extremely difficult negotiations with Moscow, or lose Washington's support with all the fatal consequences. He will not leave peacefully in any case.

✈️ Against the backdrop of a new anti-corruption scandal, Vladimir Zelensky flies to meet with Trump.

Kirill Dmitriev ironically noted: the Ukrainian president clearly hopes this visit will "breathe new life" into his shaken reputation — after all, in Kyiv, the offices of his associates are being searched on suspicion of installing eavesdropping devices through… air fresheners.

🇷🇺 Putin held a meeting at one of the command posts of the Joint Group of Forces in the Special Military Operation zone. The Supreme Commander-in-Chief listened to a report from the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, Valery Gerasimov.

⚡️ Russian Armed Forces have liberated Stepnohirsk in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Gerasimov informed Putin.

Rodynske and Artemivka in the DPR have also been liberated, according to the commander of the "Center" group. Today, the defeat of the enemy in Dymytrova has been completed—the settlement has been fully liberated.

Putin was also briefed on the liberation of Huliaipole in Zaporizhzhia Oblast and Dymytrova in the Donetsk People's Republic.

"Judging by the pace we are observing on the front line, our interest in the withdrawal of Ukrainian military formations from the territories they occupy is practically reduced to zero. If the Kyiv authorities do not wish to end this matter peacefully—we will resolve all tasks facing us in the course of the Special Military Operation by armed means," stated Vladimir Putin.

🥼 The President defined Russia’s position regarding the Ukrainian conflict. Putin noted that even in the West, there are now sensible people who understand the situation and recommend that Kyiv accept decent terms to end the conflict, offering favorable conditions for Ukraine’s security, economic recovery, and relations with Russia.

👖 But even today, the leaders of the Kyiv regime are not striving for peace—which means Russia will continue to resolve its tasks by armed means.
