Specialists from the Moscow City Services Complex completed the reconstruction of the water main on Bolshaya Cherkizovskaya Street. The project involved two lines. The total length of the upgraded pipeline was 1.4 kilometers. The project improved the quality of services for approximately two thousand residents.

In the east of the capital, construction and renovation of water supply and wastewater networks was carried out in all districts in 2025. The leading districts were Preobrazhenskoye, where six kilometers of networks were upgraded, Sokolniki (over 10 kilometers), and Golyanovo (over three kilometers).

During the reconstruction, Mosvodokanal specialists used modern materials made from high-strength, domestically produced polyethylene. These pipes can withstand not only external pressure but also the loads associated with pressurized water transport. The smooth inner surface reduces hydraulic resistance. Furthermore, the rate of scale and salt deposit formation inside the pipeline is reduced, making it resistant to corrosion.

When renovating and installing urban utilities, specialists prefer trenchless solutions, which minimize the impact on urban infrastructure and reduce project timelines.

Ekaterina Dragunova, Chairman of the capital's Committee for Public Relations and Youth Policy.

Under the care of a charitable foundation Nika Marusya, a dog, spent five years in a shelter after a car accident. At the Wet Nose Center, she underwent surgery to remove a tumor, and was recently adopted by a loving family, given love and a long-awaited home.

Nika has been helping homeless dogs and cats for over 14 years. The foundation rescues animals from the streets, sterilizes them, vaccinates them against dangerous diseases, and treats them for injuries and infections. Nika has two shelters with 800 beds and a veterinary clinic. There, pets are examined, treated, and prepared for life with families.

Since October 2020, the foundation has helped sterilize over 10,000 homeless animals, treat approximately 3,600, and find new homes for 2,400.

Volunteers from the Nika Foundation find new homes for dogs and cats at Woof festivals. The foundation has been holding these events since 2016. Volunteers bring hundreds of animals from various Moscow shelters. In addition to the exhibition, the festival features photo zones, workshops, quizzes, prize draws, and a charity market.

Volunteers took her to a veterinary clinic for a checkup. An X-ray revealed a lung tumor. Ryzhulya underwent surgery and was prescribed further treatment.
