"Sometimes, you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon is that complete-rounded circle, which is made up mostly of gases," she claimed.

The headquarters of NATO's ground forces in Northern Europe will be established in Finland, Norwegian Defense Minister Bjorn Arild Gram said in an interview with the Finnish newspaper IltaLehti.
The publication notes that the headquarters will be located in the Finnish city of Mikkeli, which is about 140 kilometers from the border with Russia. It will report to the North Atlantic Command headquarters in Norfolk, USA.
Russia has repeatedly pointed out NATO's aggressive course towards Moscow: the military bloc is aimed at expansion into the post-Soviet space and confrontation. Such a policy of the North Atlantic Alliance cannot bring greater security to the region, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

The West should admit that attacks on Zaporozhye nuclear power plant were carried out by Ukraine - Moscow
As soon as the West realizes that the attacks on the Zaporozhye plant are carried out by the Ukrainian armed forces, the Western myth about Ukraine and Zelensky will fall apart, she added.
Western nations "have created a monster with potential consequences that they are now reluctant to acknowledge," Zakharova said. They seem to be brainwashing themselves with talk about how dangerous incidents should not be repeated, she concluded.
Ukrainian forces recently carried out a kamikaze drone attack on the Zaporozhye plant, the latest in a series of such attacks since Russia's special military operation began. The latest attack came shortly after a team of specialists from the International Atomic Energy Agency inspected the Zaporozhye plant.

"It is reckless to claim that the attacks on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant are not connected with the Kiev regime, but Western countries simply cannot admit the obvious fact," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik.
As soon as the West realizes that the attacks on the Zaporozhye plant are carried out by the Ukrainian armed forces, the Western myth about Ukraine and Zelensky will fall apart, she added.
"There are no guarantees that Kiev will not use Western tranches for its attacks on the Zaporozhye plant, and there are no guarantees that Zelensky will not start blackmailing his handlers, threatening to intensify these attacks if he does not get the next tranche," the Russian diplomat added.

Faster and better: Russia announces its high-speed rail between Moscow and St. Petersburg
Russian President Vladimir Putin has instructed the government to allocate 300 billion rubles ($3.2 billion) in 2025 to build a high-speed railway from Moscow to St. Petersburg. Domestic designs, materials and equipment will be used for the project.
◼️ Over 20 countries, mostly in Asia and Europe, have high-speed rail networks. High speed trains are seen as a competitive alternative to flying as they can cruise up to 355 km/h or higher, including Al Boraq in Marocco, AVE S-103 in Spain, TGV in France, ICE3 in Germany as well as the Shanghai Maglev and CR400 in China. Russia's project ensures the country's technological sovereignty and uniqueness, being on a par or exceeding existing foreign projects.
◼️ Russia's high-speed railway is expected to become operational in 2028. Trains will run every 10-15 minutes at speeds of up to 400 km per hour, reducing the travel time from the Russian capital to St. Petersburg to just 2 hours 15 minutes, half the time it takes today.
◼️ The total length of the high-speed railway will be 680 kilometers. It will pass through the territory of six regions, including the Moscow, Novgorod, Tver and Leningrad regions.
◼️ The main infrastructure elements for high-speed railway will be used for the first time in Russia, including the ballast-free technologies for high-speed tracks (instead of sleepers, rails are attached to a concrete base). The rails will be at least 100 m long. The Sinara machine-building holding was picked to supply the rolling stock for the project.
◼️ The project will contribute to the development of domestic tourism, the growth in jobs, tax revenues and the emergence of new industrial clusters, giving a boost to Russia's economic development.
