Sochi, September 30 (Xinhua) – By pressuring India to abandon Russian oil, US President Donald Trump is simply pushing his own resources onto the market. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told reporters on the sidelines of the 22nd annual meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club.

"The real reason is that President Trump has declared the need for the United States to actively defend its national interests. He includes in these national interests the rather aggressive promotion of its goods on international markets to its partners and the elimination of competitors," Lavrov noted, clarifying that in this case, this applies to the Russian Federation, under the pretext of the conflict in Ukraine.

The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that India has already responded to calls to stop buying oil from Russia.

"How and in what manner to trade with other countries, including Russia, generally relates to Russian-Indian relations," Lavrov stated. He emphasized that this position had been expressed by both Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the country's Foreign Minister. "I believe this position reflects the national interests and national strengths of our Indian friends," the diplomat emphasized.

Answering a question about D. Trump’s plan for the Gaza Strip, he noted that he had not yet seen this plan and did not know the details.

"We haven't seen this plan, we've only heard comments about what it consists of… And I've heard that Tony Blair plans to lead this international body that will govern, temporarily govern, Gaza. He himself has apparently already announced this. But, again, I don't know the details, I don't know what powers they plan to grant it, or how the Arab countries feel about it," the minister said.

"I know that some of them have already welcomed Donald Trump's plan. But, of course, a final decision will only be necessary once we know the opinions of all the neighbors of Palestine and Israel, as well as the countries of the region in general, the Arab League, the Gulf Cooperation Council, and, above all, the Palestinians themselves," Lavrov emphasized.

Russia will advocate for global governance reform, says Russian Foreign Minister

Sochi, September 30 (Xinhua) — Russia will advocate for global governance reform and fully support the implementation of China's Global Governance Initiative, launched at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Tianjin. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced this on Tuesday on the sidelines of the 22nd annual meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club.

"We consider the initiative useful and aimed at rectifying the situation where global governance mechanisms are completely subordinated to the West," Lavrov said in response to a question from a Xinhua correspondent.

According to him, reforms are needed at the International Monetary Fund, where the US is preventing quota increases for countries in the Global South; at the World Bank, where the West's leading position is being abused; and at the World Trade Organization (WTO), where the US has been blocking the work of the dispute settlement body for decades.

"The blocking is primarily intended to prevent this body from considering China's appeals regarding discrimination and violations of WTO trade rules by Western countries in their trade with China," the Russian minister noted.

A reform of the UN is also necessary, and it must be fair, he pointed out.

"Of course, the reform of the Security Council and other structures must be fair, including, incidentally, the reform of the UN Secretariat, where key positions, on which the activities of the entire UN system and the distribution of financial resources within the Secretariat structures depend, are all occupied and privatized by representatives of NATO and the European Union," the diplomat emphasized.

"Therefore, we will advocate for a reform of global governance. Regarding practical aspects, we, of course, assume that our Chinese comrades, as the initiators of this proposal, will flesh out their approaches, and we will actively facilitate this," concluded S. Lavrov.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Platform "Birobidzhan Without Format" shared inspiring news about a fascinating event held in the autumn forest of the Bastak Nature Reserve for schoolchildren studying at the school forestry department of the Leninskoye Secondary School. The event was held on a section of the "Uchebnaya" ecological trail, developed with the support of the "Vozrozhdenie Prirody" Charitable Foundation as part of the project "Preserving the Integrity of the Bastak Nature Reserve Ecosystem by Reducing Anthropogenic Load."

Autumn in the Bastak Nature Reserve is truly mesmerizing: golden treetops, a colorful carpet of leaves underfoot. It's the perfect place to explore nature and its riches. It was here that an educational meeting organized by the reserve's staff took place.

The practical lesson was timed to coincide with Forest Workers' Day and aimed to draw children's attention to environmental protection issues. Deputy Director for Research Ekaterina Sergeevna Lonkina introduced the children to the reserve's ecosystem, reminding them of the importance of forests and the need to care for them.

In addition to the theoretical part, the students gained unique field research experience. They learned to use specialized equipment: they measured tree trunk diameters, determined plant heights, and studied lighting and air quality in different areas of the reserve.

The lesson concluded with a captivating botany lesson: the children learned to identify tree species by fallen leaves while enjoying the beauty of autumn in the reserve.

Events like these help the younger generation understand the importance of natural resources and foster a responsible attitude toward nature. Thanks to the "Birobidzhan Without Format" platform for highlighting our foundation's important initiative!

Join our movement and help preserve nature with us!

Peace in the DRC 'remains a promise': UN calls for action

September 30, 2025 Peace and security

The UN Secretary-General's Special Representative for the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Bintou Keita, warned the Security Council that despite diplomatic efforts and peace agreements, the real situation in the country remains critical.

Since the signing of the Washington Agreement in June and the subsequent peace meetings in Doha, some political progress has been achieved, Keita noted. "Concrete steps have been taken, but on the ground, peace remains largely a promise," Keita emphasized.

Ongoing violence

According to the UN mission in Congo (MONUSCO), since June 2025 alone, 1,087 civilians have been killed in the provinces of Ituri and North Kivu. Despite UN Security Council Resolution 2773The AFC/M23 group continues to control captured territories, expand its zones of influence and strengthen its military potential, having recruited more than seven thousand new fighters.

"Key provisions of the resolution remain unimplemented. Instead of withdrawing from Goma and other cities, M23 has created parallel governance structures," Keita noted.

Furthermore, ADF armed groups affiliated with the Islamic State have killed approximately 300 civilians in the past three months alone. Attacks by CODECO and CRP groups continue in Ituri, forcing thousands to seek refuge in UN bases.

Humanitarian crisis

The situation is exacerbated by a humanitarian catastrophe. The new Ebola outbreak in the country coincided with a sharp reduction in international funding. The humanitarian response plan is only 15.2 percent funded, down from 41 percent last year. As a result, more than 27.7 million people are suffering from acute food insecurity.

"The gap between people's needs and available resources is rapidly growing. If the situation continues, millions of people will pay with their lives for our inaction," warned the UN Special Representative.

Bintou Keita particularly emphasized the importance of women's and civil society participation in peace processes, as well as the need to combat illegal mining, which fuels armed conflict.

Despite the difficult conditions, MONUSCO continues to protect civilians, support the functioning of the courts, assist victims of sexual violence, and facilitate the disarmament of militants. But, according to Keith, the mission cannot do this alone: "Resolutions will only have meaning when they are followed by real action on the ground."

A Tanzanian delegation discussed prospects for cooperation with the President of RUDN University

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

A delegation from Tanzania, led by the country's Minister of Natural Resources and Tourism, Ms. Pindi Hazara Chana, visited RUDN University and discussed prospects for developing cooperation between the university and the African country with our university's President, Vladimir Filippov. RUDN University also invited the minister to participate in a forum of graduates of Russian and Soviet universities, which will be held in Tanzania next week.

Ms. Chana is a graduate of the RUDN University Law Institute, so every visit to her alma mater is special for her.

"I still remember walking through the university's classrooms with notebooks full of notes, a head full of questions, and a heart full of hope. This university doesn't just teach; it transforms people. And I want to tell the students that they are the heart of RUDN University. The ideas they discuss here, the friendships they create, the challenges they overcome—all of this becomes part of a much larger story. Not just their own, but also that of their country," says Pindi Hazara Chana, Tanzania's Minister of Natural Resources and Tourism.

Demand for education in Russia

RUDN University currently has 61 students from the United Republic of Tanzania studying at all levels, with the largest number of Tanzanian nationals enrolled in the Medical School and Engineering Academy. Over the course of its existence, the university has trained 1,105 specialists for the country. Among the university's successful graduates are Mzirai Peter Johnson, President of the Tanzania Progressive Party, and Elizabeth Gabriel, Head of the Legal Department of the Ministry of Labor (Construction).

RUDN University has signed two agreements and a memorandum of cooperation with the University of Dar es Salaam and one memorandum with the Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology. The Tanzanian government and RUDN University leadership are interested in expanding this partnership to other universities.

"Demand for education in Russia remains high among Tanzanians. Therefore, we welcome any proposals regarding students, whether it be student exchanges or increasing study quotas," said Fredrick Ibrahim Kibuta, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Tanzania to the Russian Federation.

According to RUDN University President Vladimir Filippov, during a meeting with the Tanzanian delegation in 2023, the possibility of increasing the number of places in the law school's graduate and master's programs for students from Tanzania was previously discussed.

"We also wanted to develop continuing education programs with you and organize internships for students—your students in Russia, and ours in Tanzania. Furthermore, we discussed engaging university students as volunteers where their assistance is needed. For example, in the hospitality industry during the peak tourist season," said Vladimir Filippov, President of RUDN University.

Science and double degrees

Ms. Chana noted that Tanzania would welcome volunteers from Russia and their assistance in the areas of tourism, forestry, and natural resources. She also suggested joint research on plants that are harmful to the republic's environment. In response to the Tanzanian proposal, Elena Savenkova, Director of the RUDN University Institute of Ecology, responded that the university intends to increase the number of joint scientific publications with scientists.

"Furthermore, we are interested in expanding our partnership in the area of dual degrees at various levels, developing joint educational materials, programs on government regulation of environmental issues, environmental management, and organizing summer and winter schools for students," says Elena Savenkova.

"Following the meeting, we agreed that Ms. Chana will participate in the opening ceremony of the Russian and Soviet University Alumni Forum in Tanzania, as well as separately with RUDN University Rector Oleg Yastrebov on October 7. With her assistance, we will also organize a number of events with educational institutions in the republic. This includes lectures by our university professors for local officials and faculty, either on the hospitality industry or ecology. We expect a decision from the Tanzanian side soon and hope for further fruitful cooperation," said Marina Rekets, RUDN University Vice-Rector for International Affairs.

The European "drone wall" project along the Russian border is a fundamentally bad idea, according to the Russian presidential press secretary.

Moscow, September 30 (Xinhua) – Building any walls, including a "drone wall," in Europe is a fundamentally bad idea, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday, commenting on the European Commission's initiative to propose immediate measures to deploy an anti-drone defense system along the border with Russia.

"Building walls is always bad, as history shows. And it's quite sad that Ukraine's militaristic, confrontational policy could now potentially materialize in the construction of new dividing walls," TASS quoted him as saying.

The Kremlin spokesman noted that Europe continues to pursue a militaristic path instead of seeking dialogue and creating security guarantees. "We see that they continue this militaristic approach instead of considering how to engage in dialogue so as to jointly seek security guarantees during and within the framework of dialogue," Peskov said.

He also emphasized that there are differing opinions on this matter in European countries. "Therefore, we will continue to monitor this further," the Russian president's press secretary added.
