Moscow, March 30 (Xinhua) — Russia has approved the first state standard (GOST) for bioprinting—the creation of living tissue and organs using a specialized 3D printer. This was announced on Monday by the National University of Science and Technology, Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys (NUST MISIS).

"Standardization is essential for drug testing and the development of personalized solutions for patients. A regulatory framework will improve the reproducibility of results, accelerate the transfer of technologies from laboratories to clinical practice, and ensure the safety of the solutions being developed," the press release states.

The approval of a national standard is an important step in the development of bioprinting as a fully-fledged industry in Russia. A team of scientists led by Fyodor Senatov, Director of the NUST MISIS Institute of Biomedical Engineering, is conducting breakthrough research, the results of which will improve the quality of life for many people.

According to the official website of the Decade of Science and Technology in Russia, which runs from 2022 to 2031, NUST MISIS developed a 3D bioprinter, which was used to perform the world's first bioprinting operation in December 2023. And in October 2025, an innovative cartilage bioprinting method developed by Russian researchers was used for the first time.

Moscow, March 30 (Xinhua) — Russia strongly condemns the drone strike on the residence of Iraqi Kurdistan leader Nechirvan Barzani. This was stated in a comment by Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova, published on the ministry's website on Monday.

"According to incoming information, on March 28, an unidentified suicide drone struck the residence of the President of the Kurdish Autonomous Region of the Republic of Iraq, N. Barzani, in the city of Dohuk. We strongly condemn this attack, the organizers of which aimed to further expand the geographic scope of the unprecedented military-political crisis, both in scale and destructiveness, provoked by the unmotivated aggression of the United States and Israel against Iran," the Russian diplomat noted.

As M. Zakharova noted, Moscow is seriously concerned about the ongoing armed confrontation in the Persian Gulf, as well as the increasing number of attacks on administrative and civilian infrastructure. She reiterated Russia's firm commitment to a swift end to hostilities and a return to a political and diplomatic resolution.

“We persistently and consistently call on all parties to the conflict to refrain from any attacks on non-military targets,” concluded the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Tehran, March 30 (Xinhua) — The conflict resolution plan recently proposed by the United States contains "extremely exorbitant, unrealistic, and baseless" demands, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said on Monday.

The Iranian diplomat made the statement at a weekly press conference in Tehran, commenting on the 15-point US plan for resolving the conflict in the Middle East, which was transmitted to the Iranian side through intermediaries.

The official said that unlike the United States, “which constantly changes its position and whose officials make and demonstrate contradictory statements and actions,” Iran’s position on the relevant issues has been very clear from the very beginning.

E. Bagai added: "We know very well what limits are acceptable to us. As I mentioned earlier, the materials submitted to us under various names, such as the 15-point plan, mostly include exorbitant, unrealistic, and unreasonable demands."

As the Iranian Foreign Ministry's official spokesman emphasized, "until now, we have not had direct negotiations with the United States." Following the last round of talks with the United States, held in Geneva on February 26, Iran received messages through certain intermediaries, including Pakistan, expressing the United States' readiness for negotiations and requesting them, he stated.

According to him, Iran did not participate in meetings organized by Pakistan with the participation of neighboring states.

Iran will announce its decision on the American plan in due course, concluded E. Baghaei. –0–

WASHINGTON, March 30 (Xinhua) — US President Donald Trump on Monday threatened to "completely wipe off the face of the earth" all power plants, oil wells and Kharg Island in Iran if a deal is not reached soon.

In his post on the social network Truth Social, the American leader also noted that the United States is conducting serious discussions with Iran to end military operations against that country.

March 29 marked one month since the start of military action by the United States and Israel against Iran. Despite earlier reports of possible ceasefire talks between the United States and Iran, no significant progress has been made. Continued strikes and the buildup of military presence in the Middle East further dampen hopes for a quick easing of tensions.

BEIJING, March 30 (Xinhua) — China's retaliatory measures against Japanese politician Keiji Furuya, who supports Taiwan separatists, are fair, based on Chinese law, protect national interests, and are consistent with generally accepted international practice, Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said on Monday.

Zhu Fenglian made the statement in response to a question about the retaliatory measures imposed by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs against Japanese House of Representatives (lower house) member Keiji Furuya for his egregious actions related to Taiwan.

The office representative recalled that the Taiwan issue is at the core of China's fundamental interests and represents a red line that must not be crossed.

Keiji Furuya's persistent ties with forces advocating for "Taiwan independence" and provoking tensions constitutes gross interference in China's internal affairs and a serious undermining of its sovereignty and fundamental interests, Zhu Fenglian stated.

“We strongly oppose such actions and take retaliatory measures in accordance with the law and as a warning to others,” she said.

The official spokesperson emphasized that the Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party administration, driven by selfish interests, slavishly relies on external forces, forgets its roots, and betrays national interests. "Such behavior will certainly be condemned by history," Zhu Fenglian added. –0–

March 30, 2026: Together we are stronger than the frosts: the results of our shared care for bison

Together we are stronger than the frost: the results of our shared care for bison

The winter of 2025–2026 was particularly harsh for the inhabitants of the Klyazminsko-Lukhsky Nature Reserve in the Vladimir Region: deep snowdrifts and severe frosts turned the search for food in the forest into a real struggle for survival.

Thanks to your support, the free-ranging bison population was provided with a nutritious diet throughout the cold season. Importantly, this wasn't a one-time donation: supplemental feeding was provided in stages. We made the first batch of purchases in December to prepare the herd for the first cold weather, and when natural resources were depleted, we delivered the second batch of feed.

499,250 rubles were allocated for the purchase. These funds were converted into:

29.5 tons of hay; 10 tons of grain.

We've been supporting bison for three years now. Regular feeding is extremely beneficial: it helps the animals maintain the fat they need for thermoregulation and supports the strength of females who are due to give birth in the warmer months. Without this care, the risk of mortality for young and weakened animals during snowy winters increases dramatically.

When personal involvement becomes shared concern, rare species have a real chance for a future. We thank all our donors for their support!

On March 23, as part of career guidance events, fifth-year students majoring in "Construction of Unique Buildings and Structures" carried out a series of engineering surveys of the load-bearing structures of the building at 21 Blagovatnaya Street.

By participating in such activities, students acquire professional skills in identifying defects, determining opportunities for increasing loads, redevelopment, and developing design documentation for these purposes, and learn to make decisions on the technical and economic feasibility of reconstruction work.

Under the guidance of Anton Firsakov, an assistant professor in the Department of Metal and Wood Structures, the students completed comprehensive measurements of a real façade, using photo-recording with overlap to construct a model and additional control measurements for verification.

Students were able to evaluate the capabilities of the photogrammetric method for measuring facades and its limitations.

In the future, it is planned to carry out office processing of the materials and compare the obtained results with laser scanning data.

Fifth-year student Vyacheslav Kharkov noted: "The classes, which involve using professional equipment and combining traditional building surveying methods with photogrammetry, allow me to study the specific features of building surveys in greater detail. I'll be interested in comparing the final data obtained using different methods. Thank you to the instructors for their clear and structured approach!"
