At the traditional ceremonial part, the rector of GUU Vladimir Stroyev presented gratitude from the deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Biysultan Khamzayev and congratulated the university employees who celebrated their birthdays since the last meeting. And the rector himself was congratulated on his past birthday on behalf of the university by the vice-rector Dmitry Bryukhanov.

The second point is approval of the work plan of the Academic Council for the 2025/2026 academic year.

In total, 42 questions were considered, so we will not talk about each one, but will only mention the most important ones.

Vice-Rector of the State University of Management Artem Terpugov proposed to amend the Regulation on the remuneration of university employees, increasing it, as well as increasing the amount of state scholarships.

Among the issues raised by Vice-Rector Pavel Pavlovsky, we highlight the approval of the work program for educational work at the State University of Management and the decision to create new departments in the Center for Coordination of Projects for the Development of Youth Policy and Educational Activities, including a department for strategic planning and analytical support, as well as a department for attracting and working with partners.

Moscow, August 26 /Xinhua/ — Russia is calling on the Israeli authorities to take urgent measures to prevent further deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement published on its website on Tuesday.

"The alarming assessments expressed by high-ranking UN representatives regarding the situation in Gaza cannot but shock. The Russian side calls on the Israeli authorities to take urgent measures to prevent its further degradation, stop the fire, restore unimpeded humanitarian access, and ensure the delivery of necessary humanitarian aid, including food, to all those in need," the statement says.

It is indicated that the Russian Foreign Ministry drew attention to the publication of new data on the record scale of hunger in Gaza, indicating "the highest level of food insecurity." The statement cites the words of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who called what is happening in Gaza "hell" and once again recalled Israel's obligations as an occupying power to provide the population with food. In turn, the head of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Tom Fletcher emphasized that "famine is being used as a weapon of war and could have been avoided if Israel had not prevented the delivery of humanitarian supplies," the statement says.

As the Russian Foreign Ministry noted, the rapidly deteriorating situation in the Palestinian enclave could pose a threat to the lives of 132,000 children under the age of 5, of whom 41,000 have severe forms of malnutrition (this figure has doubled since May of this year).

"According to available information, in the coming period, the UN Security Council member states plan to make another attempt to agree on a draft resolution on Gaza with a focus on overcoming the humanitarian catastrophe. Moscow expects that this time such a document will be adopted," the Russian Foreign Ministry concluded. –0–

Jiang Huohua stressed that when setting goals for aquatic ecosystems, it is necessary to take into account the corresponding indicators of aquatic ecology along with physical and chemical indicators in order to more fully reflect the state of aquatic ecosystems. –0–

The Vnukovo International Airport hosted a ceremony to welcome the 100 millionth passenger of Pobeda Airlines. It was Anastasia Krylova, who flew from Vnukovo to Kaliningrad.

The event was also attended by Minister of Transport Andrey Nikitin, Head of Rosaviatsia Dmitry Yadrov, and General Director of PJSC Aeroflot Sergey Aleksandrovsky.

Today, Pobeda Airlines ranks second in terms of air transportation volume in Russia. The route network covers more than 100 destinations, half of which are regional, bypassing the capital. On 15 routes, Pobeda is currently the only air carrier. The airline demonstrates record indicators: the average flight load is 95%, and on many routes the load reaches 100%. Pobeda planes spend up to 14 hours a day in the air, and on the ground, thanks to unique technology, the aircraft servicing time between flights is only 25 minutes.

"Pobeda Airlines has made the sky truly accessible to millions of Russians, connecting remote regions and giving people new cities and resorts. It has become a reliable and predictable transport partner. Welcoming the 100 millionth passenger of Pobeda Airlines is a landmark event for domestic civil aviation, symbolizing the efficiency and success of the airline. Pobeda's unique concept is based on high flight safety and punctuality, flexible fares and strict compliance by passengers with special transportation rules. All this allows us to reduce the cost of a flight hour and offer passengers more tickets at favorable prices. This proves that Pobeda successfully fulfills its mission: "We inspire travel by making flights affordable," said Vitaly Savelyev.

"Pobeda has fully justified its name – it is a successful airline that demonstrates outstanding results. Everyone can follow its example! Including other global low-cost airlines," added Transport Minister Andrey Nikitin.
