The government has increased the amount of funding for subsidized flights for residents of the Far Eastern Federal District. An order to this effect has been signed.

Additional funds are needed to organize passenger transportation on the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky – Vladivostok – Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky route, which was recently launched as part of the subsidized air transportation program.

Comment

From Mikhail Mishustin's opening remarks at the operational meeting with deputy prime ministers, September 15, 2025

Thanks to such subsidies for citizens living in the regions of the Far East, the price of a ticket between Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and Vladivostok will be 9 thousand rubles.

Commenting on the decision takenmeeting with deputy prime ministers on September 15, Mikhail Mishustin noted that the residents of Kamchatka asked for such a route to be organized, since the only way to get from there to the mainland is by plane. Now the cost of an air ticket will be fixed.

Denis Manturov congratulated the employees and veterans of Rosstandart on the 100th anniversary of the agency.

Dear colleagues!

I congratulate you on the 100th anniversary of Rosstandart, an agency that has played a vital role in the economic development of our country for a century.

Since the establishment of the Standardization Committee on September 15, 1925, this area has become one of the most important state priorities. Unified standards have given impetus to the development of serial production, improved the quality of consumer goods, and strengthened the trust of citizens.

Today, Rosstandart is more than 16.5 thousand specialists who simultaneously continue the best traditions and implement modern approaches in the field of standardization. Every year, the agency approves over 1.7 thousand new GOSTs, covering both traditional industries and promising areas – hydrogen transport, artificial intelligence, quantum technologies.

The anniversary is not only a reason to evaluate the path taken over a hundred years, but also an opportunity to look to the future with confidence. I am confident that Rosstandart will continue to be a reliable support for the country's technological sovereignty, support for industry, science, small and medium businesses.

I thank everyone who has dedicated themselves to the cause of standardization. I wish you good health, new professional achievements and confidence in the future!

UN Security Council: Mass detentions, escalating violence undermine peace efforts in Yemen

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

September 15, 2025 Peace and security

The situation in Yemen remains extremely tense amid escalating regional violence and arbitrary detentions of UN staff, the Secretary-General's Special Envoy for the country Hans Grundberg told the Security Council on Monday.

“The recent wave of arbitrary detentions of 22 United Nations staff in Sanaa and Hodeida represents a flagrant escalation by Ansar Allah against the UN,” he stressed, adding that more than 40 staff remain in detention and one of those detained has died.

Grundberg said such actions, including the violent seizure of UN premises and property, "threaten the very ability of the Organization to facilitate peace efforts and provide humanitarian assistance to the people of Yemen."

The rapporteur also added that in addition to UN staff, thousands of Yemenis are detained as a result of the conflict. He expressed solidarity with all those arbitrarily detained and reiterated his call for their immediate and unconditional release.

Regional conflict

Stressing the need for "an inclusive political process, nationwide economic reforms and a ceasefire," he called on the conflicting parties to return to negotiations.

At the same time, the Special Envoy noted that the situation in the country is inextricably linked to regional dynamics. "The unresolved conflict in Yemen is like a fault line that sends tremors beyond its borders and intensifies regional conflicts," he said. According to him, without stability in Yemen, there can be no stability in the region and vice versa – the situation in the region determines how events will develop in the country.

Against this backdrop, Grundberg added, the war in Gaza is accompanied by an “alarming and dangerous intensification of hostilities between Ansar Allah and Israel.” The Houthis continue to strike Israel, causing harm to civilians and civilian infrastructure. In response, Israeli airstrikes were recorded in August and September on Sanaa and other areas under the control of Ansar Allah. In particular, the strikes on August 28 claimed the lives of high-ranking members of the movement, some of whom were in contact with the Special Envoy’s office. “This cycle of escalation must end,” Grundberg noted.

Mass famine

In turn, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher reminded members of the Security Council that Yemen is among the three countries with the worst food situation in the world.

“Another million people will be on the brink of extreme hunger by February next year, in addition to the 17 million Yemenis who already lack food,” he warned. More than 70 percent of households, he said, are unable to meet their daily food needs.

Fletcher said humanitarian efforts included distributing food and essential supplies, as well as supporting water and health facilities. However, he said funding shortages and deteriorating conditions were preventing aid from being delivered on the scale needed.

"The funding cuts are costing lives. In addition to the food security crisis, two million women and girls have lost access to reproductive health services. And in Yemen, one pregnant woman is already dying every two hours," the UN deputy chief said.

He concluded with a call to action for the Security Council. According to Fletcher, members of the Security Council should use their influence to ensure the immediate release of all arbitrarily detained staff. They should also return UN premises occupied by security forces and increase funding for humanitarian action. “We must not allow mass starvation to determine the future of Yemen,” Fletcher said.

International Equal Pay Day: Women Still Earn Less Than Men

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

September 15, 2025 Women

Women around the world still earn on average 20 percent less than men. Gender equality is not fully achieved due to persistent historical and structural barriers that limit opportunities for women and girls, UN Women said ahead of International Equal Pay Day on 18 September.

Inequality persists

According to the UN, women are more likely than men to be unemployed. Only 28 percent of employed women worldwide have access to paid maternity leave. At the same time, women still do an average of three hours more unpaid work per day in housework and childcare and elder care than men.

The UN also notes that the gender pay gap is greater among national and racial minorities. In the US, black women earn 63.7 cents of every dollar earned by white men, indigenous women earn 59 cents, and Latinas earn 57 cents.

Women, especially migrant women, are much more likely to work in the informal sector, where wages are lower and working conditions are much worse. Motherhood exacerbates inequality: working mothers earn less than women without children.

Internationally enshrined law

UN Women recalls that equal pay for work of equal value is a fundamental right enshrined in the in one of the international conventions, which has already been ratified by 91 countries, and is a guarantee of socio-economic development.

The organization calls for coordinated action to reduce the gender wage gap.

“We continue to advance this agenda in partnership with governments, employers, workers’ organizations, international institutions and research organizations,” the statement said.

Governments, UN Women stresses, must create legal and policy frameworks to ensure equal pay. Employers must implement transparent pay practices and create gender-sensitive workplaces, and workers’ organizations must promote social dialogue and collective bargaining.

“With evidence and technical support from international institutions and research organizations, as well as the active participation of the private sector, civil society and academia, we can close the gender pay gap and ensure women’s full economic empowerment,” the statement said.

BEIJING, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) — China firmly opposes the U.S. demand that the Group of Seven (G7) and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) impose tariffs of 50 percent to 100 percent on China over its purchase of Russian oil, an official spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said on Monday.

In response to a media question, the official representative pointed out that the Chinese side has consistently opposed trade and economic restrictions against China under the pretext of so-called Russia-related issues.

The US attempt to force relevant parties to impose “secondary customs duties” on China due to purchases of Russian oil is a typical example of unilateral bullying and economic coercion, the Ministry of Commerce representative emphasized.

According to him, this step seriously violates the consensus reached during the telephone conversation between the heads of the two states and could deal a significant blow to world trade and undermine the stability of production and distribution chains.

China firmly opposes this and will take all necessary measures to protect its legitimate rights and interests if any party's actions harm the interests of the PRC, the official representative promised.

He expressed hope that the United States will be careful in words and prudent in actions, move towards the Chinese side, and properly resolve trade differences through equal dialogue and consultation.

The spokesperson also called on relevant parties to firmly adhere to principles and work with China to safeguard the international trade order and the stability of global industrial and supply chains. –0–

RUDN students' projects won the forum "Great War – Great Victory"

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peoples'Friendship University of Russia –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

A large-scale forum “Great War – Great Victory” was held in Kursk, which brought together representatives of universities, public organizations and patriotic movements from 35 regions of Russia.

The RUDN team also took part in it. Over the course of three days — from September 8 to 10 — students and staff of the university attended a panel discussion "The Great Patriotic War: History Lessons, Common Memory, and Brotherhood of Nations", master classes on weaving camouflage nets, trench candles, and survival bracelets, meetings with combat veterans, and excursions around the city and the northern face of the Kursk Bulge.

RUDN team composition:

Assistant to the Vice-Rector for Student Affairs Artem Antokhin; documentary filmmaker, project manager of the Search Media Squad PSO "RUDN POISK" Maksim Lovkov; students of the philological faculty of RUDN, members of the Search Media Squad PSO "RUDN POISK" Arseniy Korobov and Evgeniy Shilov.

100 videos about heroes

The forum participants also worked in a design laboratory, where they were divided into several teams.

"The moderator of our section (it included me, Maksim Lovkov and Arseniy Korobov) suggested that the teams consider 10 facets of patriotism. We chose the "Media" facet. On average, 5-7 minutes were allocated for each stage of preparation, and there were 12 of them, then there was a pre-defense in the "World Café" format, where all the teams move in a circle and ask questions to one member of another team, who is defending the project. Our project, which we worked on together with the guys from the Kursk State Medical University, the local college of information technology and the Tula search squad "Silence", was defended by Arseniy Korobov," – Artem Antokhin, assistant to the vice-rector for work with students.

According to the RUDN student, the most difficult thing was to formulate the topic of the project, to choose the issues that are relevant and will be useful.

“As a result, we came up with the idea of creating 100 videos about the participants of the special military operation under the motto

According to Arseniy, of all the other events of the forum, he remembers the trip to Ponyri to the military memorial "Northern Face of the Kursk Bulge" the most, as he was struck by the scale and beauty of the installation. The student also liked the excursion to the local museum, where the guys were shown the captured weapons and equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, with which they invaded the Kursk region.

"Well, and of course, I was very impressed by the conversation with the heroes of Russia, veterans of the military actions in Chechnya and the SVO. I was impressed by their calm and the modesty with which they talked about their merits. Also, as a future journalist, I was interested to listen to the speech of war correspondent Alexey Ivliev, who has been working in the SVO zone from the first days," Arseny Korobov.

Another student of the Faculty of Philology, Evgeny Shilov, took part in the development of the second project, a documentary film.

“We chose the events on the Eastern Front of the Great Patriotic War in 1945 as the theme for the film. According to our plan, we planned to involve participants from various search teams and student organizations from the regions where the battles took place in its creation,” Evgeny Shilov.

Both projects won in their nominations, and the students received branded products from the forum as a gift.

Frontline texts

Also during the forum, there was an exhibition of projects by Russian universities dedicated to the memory of our people's Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The central place in the exhibition was occupied by the RUDN projects – "Nobody is Forgotten" and "Front Lines".

"Nobody is Forgotten" is a large-scale media project consisting of five documentaries. The films are dedicated to the search for the burial place of tank driver Anton Zelenko, who died in November 1941 near Moscow, the fates of children who survived the occupation of Belarus during the Great Patriotic War, fierce battles near the Dnieper in the Smolensk region in the first months of the war, the battles at Khalkhin Gol in 1939 and the phenomenon of faith and fortitude of people in war conditions. This is a large, painstaking work. Enthusiastic students took part in real search expeditions on the battlefields, found personal belongings of soldiers, equipment, weapons and even the remains of the dead. In parallel, work was carried out in the archives, combat reports, lists of losses, personal files of soldiers, memoirs were studied. This data helped to restore the context of events, to learn about the details of the exploits of the heroes of our films and the last minutes of their lives,” said Maxim Lovkov, head of the Search Media Squad project of the PSO “RUDN POISK”.

The second project, which was presented at the exhibition, is designed to study, preserve and popularize the front-line press, which was published during military conflicts involving the USSR in the 1930s and 1940s. We are talking about newspapers that covered the events on the Khalkhin Gol River in Mongolia in 1939, as well as publications from the Soviet-Finnish and Great Patriotic Wars.

"The key partners of this project were the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the Russian State Military Archive. They gave us access to the original archive issues of front-line newspapers. Now we are deciphering and analyzing the texts of the publications, then we post the processed materials on the Yandex.Zen platform. Among the articles in the army and front-line newspapers, there are publications by Konstantin Simonov and Alexei Tolstoy, which are not included in collections of their works; they could have been lost forever. In the future, we plan to create a podcast audio performance based on essays, stories, and poems from military newspapers. The texts will be voiced by our students in a professional studio. In addition, we want to shoot a multi-part documentary-feature film, Correspondents at War," Maxim Lovkov.

About the forum

The organizers of the forum "Great War – Great Victory" were the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation and Kursk State University with the support of the Russian Historical Society and the Government of the Kursk Region. The event was held in the regional Youth Palace and was timed to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War and the Year of the Defender of the Fatherland.

It was attended by Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Olga Petrova, State Duma deputy Ekaterina Kharchenko, and representatives of regional authorities.

The GURR statement said that Nvidia violated the PRC Anti-Monopoly Law and the GURR decision on Nvidia's acquisition of Mellanox Technologies.

In 2020, the GURR conditionally approved Nvidia's acquisition of Mellanox Technologies following an antitrust review that began in 2019.
