Baku, March 5 /Xinhua/ — The press service of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry reported on Thursday that Iranian Ambassador to Azerbaijan Mujtaba Demirchilu has been summoned to the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry in connection with the attack by Iranian drones on the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan.

According to a statement from the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, attacks were launched from Iran on the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan around midday on Thursday. One drone crashed into the airport terminal building, and another crashed near a school in the village of Shekerabad.

The statement reads: "We strongly condemn the attacks carried out from Iranian territory, which damaged the airport building and injured two civilians. This attack on Azerbaijani territory is contrary to the norms and principles of international law and leads to increased tensions in the region."

The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry demands that Iran provide an explanation as soon as possible and take the necessary immediate measures to prevent the recurrence of such incidents in the future.

Moscow, March 5 /Xinhua/ — Russia may stop natural gas supplies to European Union (EU) countries ahead of the announced deadline, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in an interview with the Vesti news service on Wednesday.

Vladimir Putin recalled that the European Union had announced a ban on the purchase of Russian gas, which would come into effect gradually. "And now other markets are opening up. And perhaps it would be more advantageous for us to stop supplies to the European market right now. To move to the markets that are opening up and gain a foothold there. And here, too, I want to be clear – there is no political motive. But if they're going to shut us down in a month or two, it's better to stop now and move to countries that are reliable partners and gain a foothold there," he said.

At the same time, he noted that this was merely “thinking out loud,” and not a final decision. “I will definitely instruct the government to work on this issue together with our companies,” the Russian head of state said. –0–

Specialists urban economy complex About 60 kilometers of barrier fencing will undergo scheduled repairs in 2026, according to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Urban Development. Petr Biryukov.

"Repairing and replacing barriers is a key focus for road services. This year, we plan to renew nearly 60 kilometers of these structures, some of which need replacement or were damaged in accidents. Most often, we carry out repairs on sections of ring roads and outbound highways," noted Pyotr Biryukov.

To improve road safety in the capital, a program to replace and repair metal barriers has been in place since 2015. Damaged barriers are being replaced with new, heavy-duty barriers capable of holding a vehicle weighing up to nine tons at 60 kilometers per hour. These barriers reduce the severity of accidents by preventing vehicles from crossing into oncoming traffic and, consequently, from causing a head-on collision with another vehicle. The program has resulted in a nearly threefold reduction in the number of oncoming traffic accidents.

The head of the city's infrastructure department emphasized that special piling rigs are used during repairs and replacements, which are used to dismantle damaged elements and then install new structures.

The second student career forum, "IPMEiT Career: A Step into the Future," was held at the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade at SPbPU. The event brought together students, faculty, and representatives of leading employers for professional dialogue. This year, the forum attracted over 300 participants.

The forum was held in the format of a career day. Organized by students from the Institute of Mechanics and Technology (IPMET), it brought together 26 partner companies. The program included a job fair, lectures by employers, master classes, practical interactive sessions, and a roundtable discussion with business representatives. All events were aimed at developing relevant professional competencies, soft skills, and guiding students toward a meaningful career path.

Vladimir Shchepinin, Director of the Institute of Mechanics and Technology, addressed the participants: "I am sincerely grateful to our partners who came today and helped organize such a wonderful event, as well as to the youth initiative, thanks to which this event is being held for the second time. Opening the forum, I hope that all participants will receive maximum useful information and opportunities for their professional development."

Company representatives presented internship programs and vacancies for young professionals, conducted express interviews, and shared practical career case studies. When selecting employers, special attention was paid to ensuring that their offers covered all IPMEIT educational programs. Participants included market leaders and strategic partners of Polytechnic University: VTB Bank, Baltika, Alfa-Bank, Gazprombank, Gazpromneft-Snabzhenie, Gazprom TsPS, Lenta Group, B1 Group, St. Petersburg State Public Institution "Multifunctional Center for the Provision of State and Municipal Services," Cort Inn Hotel, Simetra, and others.

HR consultations were a separate feature of the forum. Students had the opportunity to meet individually with recruiting specialists and review their own resumes. Participants asked questions about the structure and content of the document, received professional feedback, and learned which criteria are truly important to recruiters when selecting candidates for internships and entry-level positions.

The educational program included a master class by Trust Technologies JSC on building a flexible career path, a case study conducted jointly with Gazprom TsPS, and a training session by the Polikapital platform on key competencies for launching your own project, led by Ivan Khlamov, Head of the Youth Policy Department.

"For me, the forum wasn't just an opportunity to learn about job openings, but also to personally interact with company representatives and understand what skills are truly in demand. The quick interviews and resume reviews were particularly helpful. This helped me identify my strengths and areas for growth. After these events, I gain a clear understanding of where to go next and how to chart my career path," shared Vasily Sherenkov, a third-year Management student.

The forum also featured a roundtable discussion, "University and Employers: Aligning Competencies and Expectations," attended by representatives from IPMEIT's graduate schools, the Youth Trajectory Center, the Polytechnic University's Career Development Department, and partner companies. During the moderated panel discussion, participants outlined key skills for future specialists, discussed the reasons for graduate rejections, and emphasized the need to strengthen the applied component of training.

"The second forum demonstrated how important it is for students to have the opportunity to directly interact with employers," noted Anastasia Nikitina, the forum's lead organizer and a fourth-year Management student. "We've taken last year's feedback into account and made the program even more engaging, as well as introduced a gamified system to increase participant engagement. Seeing student interest and company activity is the best indicator that we're moving in the right direction."

The second "IPMEIT Career: Step into the Future" forum confirmed the sustainability of the institute's new tradition and became a significant event in the Polytechnic University's career agenda. The organizers plan to further develop the format and expand the number of partners so that every IPMEIT student can confidently take the next step into their professional future.

Training Center for Unmanned Systems Operators at St. Petersburg State University of Industrial and Technical Sciences

Third-year students majoring in Transport Process Technology at the Faculty of Automobile and Road Engineering at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (SPbGASU) participated in a series of practical events dedicated to unmanned aerial vehicles and modern technologies for their use.

On March 2, 2026, the Malaya Okhta Educational Complex organized a piloting workshop for students using a specialized simulator. Participants learned about the design and manufacturing of unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as the principles of their design and technical construction. Students were able to try their hand at being operators and gain their first experience flying a UAV in a virtual environment. The event generated great interest, and participants noted its practical value and engaging format.

Earlier, on February 27, students and faculty from SPbGASU also visited the new Unmanned Systems Operator Training Center at the Saint Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design. The participants were accompanied by Roman Litvin, Deputy Dean for Research of the Faculty of Automobile and Highway Engineering, Associate Professor, and Candidate of Engineering Sciences.

The center's director spoke about the history of unmanned aerial vehicle development in Russia and demonstrated the current applications of this technology. During the visit, the students were introduced to the center's equipment, tried their hand at operating simulators, and watched a spectacular master class on drone racing.

In addition, participants were given a lesson on the fundamentals of tactical medicine, where they learned basic skills for providing first aid in various situations.

The trip and workshops were dynamic, technologically advanced, and inspiring for the students. Their introduction to unmanned systems allowed them to see the industry's development prospects and the potential applications of such technologies in their future careers.

Unmanned systems are no longer technologies of the future, but rather a part of the modern reality in which a new generation of specialists will have to work.

In November 2025, a new branch of the Russian Armed Forces was formed—the Unmanned Systems Troops. Students are offered the opportunity to serve in this new high-tech force under a special contract.

34 NSU students have received scholarships from the Potanin Foundation.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Potanin Foundation has announced the results of its 2026 scholarship competition. 1,000 students from 71 universities have been named winners. Compared to last year, the number of finalists and winners among NSU students has increased: while in the 2024/2025 academic year there were 53 finalists and 27 winners, in the 2025/2026 academic year there were 63 and 34, respectively. Novosibirsk State University is now among the top 10 Russian universities in terms of the number of winners.

Among the winners, there are most students with Faculty of Natural Sciences (8 people) and Faculty of Physics (7 people). Also among the scholarship recipients are representatives Humanitarian Institute (6), Mechanics and Mathematics (5), Economic (3), Geological and geophysical faculties (2), Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies (2), and also Institute of Philosophy and Law (1).

Starting in February of this year and until their graduation, the winning students will receive a Vladimir Potanin scholarship of 30,000 rubles per month. For each student, this amount represents a valuable investment. For example, Elina Surkova, a second-year master's student at the Faculty of Natural Sciences, plans to upgrade her laptop and use the remaining funds for her future graduate studies.

"I thought this scholarship would be a good financial support. I didn't apply in my first year of master's program because I didn't think I had enough articles and achievements. But then, seeing that my classmates had won, I decided to give it a try. I advise you not to put off preparing until the last minute and be sure to carefully study the requirements. Try to understand what kind of winner they're looking for and identify these characteristics in yourself. It seems simple, but in reality, you need to seriously reflect to give a comprehensive answer. Be smart—prepare in advance and don't be afraid to always try!" Elina shared.

The Vladimir Potanin Scholarship Competition consists of two stages: a qualifying round and a final round. The first stage is written, requiring applicants to write several essays about their practical experience and life strategy, their research and project work, and their volunteer activities. The final round has been held online for the past several years. It includes business games, interviews, case studies, and other tasks.

"For the interview, all the students were grouped into groups of 10, and it lasted about 4-5 hours. Since I have a bachelor's degree in journalism, I have good soft skills, so this stage wasn't a problem for me. The foundation representatives are looking specifically at your personal qualities; they want to see your leadership qualities, your entrepreneurial spirit, and your willingness to take on responsibility. About 2,300 students made it to the second stage, and everyone wanted to win. But everyone has a chance. The main thing is to believe in yourself and not worry," said Alina Iskhakova, a first-year Master's student in Journalism at the Humanities Institute.

Darya Zheltikova, a first-year master's student at the Faculty of Natural Sciences, previously applied for various scholarships, including the enhanced state scholarship for scientific research, the Novosibirsk Region Governor's scholarship, and others. She notes that the process for collecting documents and achievements for the Potanin scholarship competition's selection round is similar to those for which she has previously applied. It differs from other scholarships by requiring her to solve cases with other finalists during the final round.

"My general advice for all students is to participate more in scholarship competitions like these, even if at first glance it seems like your experience and achievements aren't enough to pass the qualifying rounds or win. If you have the opportunity to participate, why not? You certainly have nothing to lose, and at best, you'll gain. When there are written rounds like these with a large number of essays, in addition to the usual writing guidelines, I would advise you to be sure to evaluate the integrity of your writing after completing the application, as the essay topics are intertwined and create a complete picture of you. During the rounds involving case studies and other assignments, I would advise you not to dwell on possible failure while completing them (if such thoughts arise, of course). It's better to focus on the tasks ahead. The assessment at such rounds can be quite subjective, and you can't be certain of a negative outcome in advance. And, of course, I encourage you to never give up and always believe in yourself and your abilities," advised Daria.

Rosneft has improved its technology for producing heat-resistant bitumen materials.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

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

Specialists at Rosneft's research institute have improved their bitumen production technology. The production of heat-resistant road bitumen for Russia's southern regions, using this improved technology, will contribute to the implementation of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project.

Pilot-industrial testing of the production of BND 40/60 grade bitumen with improved performance properties was carried out at the Company's oil refining assets; confirmation of their quality was received, and industrial production began.

Improved bitumens are capable of withstanding increased traffic loads in road structures and have an extended operating temperature range from minus 20 to plus 50 degrees Celsius. The technology takes into account factors that influence the road surface's resistance to defects, which is especially important given the increasing load on the road network.

Rosneft has been implementing innovative bitumen production technologies for many years and is expanding the geography of its next-generation petroleum bitumen production. Over the past few months, over five thousand tons of bitumen produced using this improved technology have been delivered to Russian regions, enabling the construction of over 1,000 km of high-quality, two-lane road networks.
