BEIJING, March 2 (Xinhua) — China expressed serious dissatisfaction and strong protest on Monday over the UK's imposition of a new round of sanctions against Chinese companies under the pretext of so-called "Russia-related issues," a spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said.

The spokesman stressed that the UK's actions constituted unilateral sanctions that had no basis in international law and did not receive a United Nations mandate.

Regarding the Ukrainian crisis, the representative noted that China has consistently implemented strict controls on the export of dual-use goods in accordance with laws and regulations, stressing that normal exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and Russian enterprises should not be disrupted or affected.

The official called on the UK to immediately correct its wrong actions and lift sanctions against relevant Chinese entities, adding that China will take necessary measures to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises. -0-

LONDON, March 2 (Xinhua) — Britain, France and Germany said they were ready to take "necessary and proportionate defensive action" against Iran.

"We will take steps to protect our interests and those of our allies in the region," a joint statement released Sunday said. "This may include taking necessary and proportionate defensive measures to destroy Iran's ability to launch missiles and drones where they are deployed."

“We agreed to work with the United States and our allies in the region on this issue,” the document states.

Also on Sunday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Britain had accepted a US request to use British bases "for this specific and limited defensive purpose."

"Our partners in the Gulf have asked us to do more to protect them… British aircraft are in the air as part of coordinated defensive operations that have already successfully repelled Iranian attacks," Starmer said.

However, the only way to stop the threat is to destroy the missiles where they are stored, meaning “in the warehouses or in the launchers that were used for launching them,” he said.

Britain was not involved in the initial strikes on Iran and will not join any offensive action now, he added.

A master class on ebru with artist Aigul Okutan was held at the Higher School of International Relations of the Polytechnic Institute of Humanities.

The master class was a continuation of Aygül Okutan's exhibition "Turkey through the Eyes of a Russian Artist," which opened at the end of January at the Cultural and Exhibition Center of the Higher School of Technology and Energy of the St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design with the support of the Consulate General of Turkey in St. Petersburg.

Aygül Okutan spoke about the history, philosophy, and symbolic significance of ebru—the ancient art of painting on water, which originated in the East and particularly flourished in the Ottoman Empire. The artist then demonstrated the basic techniques for creating works and gave the workshop participants the opportunity to try their hand at this unique art form.

Sergey Pogodin, Academic Director of the Higher School of International Relations (HSIR), presented Aygül Okutan with a letter of gratitude for her contribution to the development of cultural dialogue and the popularization of Turkish artistic heritage in the university's educational environment.

At the end of the event, participants were treated to traditional Turkish tea and Turkish delight, which made the atmosphere even more welcoming.

An express pass channel was put into operation for the first time at the Khorgos checkpoint.

Ürümqi, March 2 (Xinhua) — On March 1, the Horgos Port of Xinjiang, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, launched its first express border inspection channel at all Xinjiang vehicle ports. This measure, primarily used for commercial vehicle exports, aims to improve the efficiency of entry and exit inspections of drivers.

Early Sunday morning, Ma Kui, driving a commercial vehicle bound for export, prepared to cross the Khorgos checkpoint through this express entry channel. He faced the inspection equipment, then completed the passport scanning and biodata verification procedures. The boom of the barrier in the traffic lane quickly rose, signaling his unhindered passage through border control.

"The whole process went very smoothly. Previously, all border control formalities were handled by officers at the counter. Now I just scan my passport, look at the device, and leave my fingerprints. Everything was quick and very convenient," he said.

Khorgos is China's largest land port for commercial vehicle exports. Every day, over 1,000 commercial vehicles are transported through Khorgos to countries such as Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, cleared through customs. By the end of 2025, 450,000 vehicles were exported through the Khorgos border crossing, a 6.9 percent increase over 2024 and a historical high.

The express pass channel is reportedly based on the existing one-stop-shop screening system, with the addition of rapid screening equipment. Previously, drivers had to exit their vehicles and approach a service counter to join a security line; now, they can complete all screening procedures in one go, significantly increasing the efficiency of border control.

After the channel is put into operation, the Khorgos border service will continue to monitor its operation in real time, continuously optimize the system's functionality, and make every effort to ensure uninterrupted border control. -0-

March 1, 2026: Istanbul is the main character: how the Turkish press fell in love with our reality show

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Gazprom – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

In an interview (https://www.ekonomim.com/kultur-sanat/gazprom-media-istanbul-projemizin-basli-basina-kahramani-haberi-877489) with a popular Turkish publication, Boris Khanchalyan explained how our projects are becoming the foundation for intercultural cooperation. We've translated it into Russian especially for you, highlighting the most interesting parts.

🔹The "survival" format has become a cultural phenomenon. According to Boris Khanchalyan, shows with this concept are a distinct topic, resonating widely in Russia. This format reflects a new generation of reality television throughout the television industry.

🔹Media = the engine of tourism. Gazprom-Media is a leader in creating television shows. Last year, 18 new projects aired on TV channels. The Turkish publication was particularly interested in the reality show "Survive in Istanbul"—the program airs on TNT on Sundays.

🔹From content exchange to full-fledged joint production. According to Boris Khanchalyan, cooperation between Russia and Turkey has already expanded beyond isolated projects. He cited the example of the film "The Prophet: The Story of Alexander Pushkin," which entered the top 10 box office releases in Turkey and received a theatrical release extension.

We, as an editorial team, especially appreciate that the conversation isn't just about numbers, but also about cultural chemistry. It's about how the show can become a meeting point between two industries and two audiences. And frankly, after this, you definitely don't just want to watch the reality show, but book a ticket to Istanbul right away.

February 28, 2026: Footage you haven't seen: the most revealing film about Zenit

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Gazprom – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

If you've ever yelled "GOOOAL" so loudly that your neighbors' windows rattled, you're definitely in the know.

Today, the editorial office was discussing Zenit's recent match (https://t.me/fczenit), and a colleague told a very touching story. In 2010, at Petrovsky Stadium, the blue-white-sky blues lost 3-1 to the Moscow army men. In the rain, the fans silently began to go home, and one couldn't hold back his tears. Then someone started singing the club's anthem. And the entire section, wet and upset, joined in. Not "for the victory," but simply "for them." Because Zenit is part of St. Petersburg's DNA.

This is precisely what the new project, which will be released on March 17 on PREMIER and RUTUBE, is about – the documentary film “Zenit Forever,” filmed by the studio of the publication “Sports”.

This is real, first-hand insight. It's like being let into the holy of holies—the locker room, the training session, the moment when everything is decided. Five episodes of revelations from legends: Semak, Danny, and Dzyuba. The project also features those who have supported them for years. Alexey Miller's view from the stands, Alexander Rosenbaum's stern commentary, and Anton "Banderas" Ivanov's wry remarks. Because Zenit is the story not just of a team, but of an entire city.
