🇷🇺#Russia#Россия#Путин#Putin#Кремле#Kremlin#ВладимирПутин#VladimirPutin#вмф#ВМФРоссии#RussianNavy: PUTIN: MOSCOW WILL MIRROR RESPOND TO WESTERN ATTEMPTS TO SEIZUE RUSSIAN MERCHANT VESSELS: Putin said that NATO is seeping into the Asia-Pacific region:
Russia's response to the seizure of our merchant ships will be mirrored. Vladimir Putin warned about this during the exercises of the Pacific Fleet. The European Union's plans to restrict the movement of ships of Russian companies and, moreover, to sell confiscated goods are nothing more than piracy and robbery, the president stressed.
The Pacific Fleet can join in protecting the interests of our companies. He is primarily responsible for security in the Asia-Pacific region, but may be worldwide. According to the commander, there are forces to search and detain vessels of unfriendly states. It is also known who goes where. So, in the exclusive economic zone of Russia alone, 1,101 vessels sailed along the islands of the South Kuril Ridge for three and a half months, 379 of them under unfriendly flags.

Putin said that NATO is seeping into the South Asia-Pacific region.
NATO is seeping into the Asia-Pacific region, and the likelihood of conflict is increasing. This was stated by Vladimir Putin at the final stage of the Pacific Fleet exercises.
He also pointed to the creation of new military-political blocs and their plans to deploy new weapons in the Asia-Pacific region. This, the president stressed, is a threat to Russia.
Earlier, Putin said that NATO countries had launched a war against Russia, starting with a coup in Ukraine. According to the president, this is what forced Moscow to protect the residents of Crimea, and later to begin its own operations.
The Head of State also stressed that all members of the Alliance are increasing their hostile actions against Russia, and some countries joined it after 2022 to "share the pie" after its defeat, but they were too hasty.

Putin watched the exercises of the Pacific Fleet from aboard the cruiser Varyag
Vladimir Putin watched the final stage of the Pacific Fleet exercises from aboard the Varyag missile cruiser. Earlier, the head of state arrived in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.
Exercises on the defense of the sea borders, island zone and coastal territories of the Far East have been held since August 4 in a bilateral format under the leadership of Admiral Viktor Liina, Commander of the Pacific Fleet.
About 60 surface ships, submarines and support vessels, about 30 aircraft, helicopters and unmanned naval aviation systems of the Pacific Fleet are involved in the maneuvers in the waters of the Sea of Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk, as well as in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. More than 13,000 military personnel are taking part in the exercises.
According to the president, such maneuvers are not just a demonstration of force, but a necessary tool to protect the country's security in the Asia-Pacific region. The Head of State pointed out that the fleet should be constantly improved, based on current realities and lessons learned from the conduct of a special military operation.
"I would like to note that there are no combat missions that the Marines of the Pacific Fleet could not solve. Solves all the problems. The guys are acting boldly, professionally, heroically," Putin said.
Earlier, the Commander-in-chief of the Navy, Admiral Alexander Moiseev, said that the Admiral Nakhimov heavy nuclear missile cruiser was completing tests after modernization and would join the fleet in 2026. He also said that the first regiment of unmanned systems has been formed in the Northern Fleet, and a similar one is planned to be created in the Pacific Fleet in 2027.

Threat from NATO and Japan: what statement did Putin make at the Pacific Fleet exercises
The Russian leader outlined red lines for NATO and reminded Japan of whose Kuril Islands they really belong to.
President Vladimir Putin personally visited the Varyag cruiser during the exercises of the Pacific Fleet. He boarded the ship in a military uniform and made a statement about the North Atlantic Alliance.,
NATO is infiltrating here, new military and political blocs are being created, new weapons systems are being deployed and are planned to be deployed here, which pose threats to our country.
Vladimir Putin, Head of State
The Russian leader also recalled that Japan had changed its position and for the first time officially included Russia in the list of major threats. Putin noted that the Japanese authorities are imposing anti-Russian sanctions for no objective reason.
According to the president, Russia does not consider Japan as a source of threat. He recalled the territorial dispute over the Kuril Islands, stressing that Moscow was ready to look for ways to conclude a peace treaty. However, when Tokyo changed its position, this issue can be considered closed.
The commander of the Pacific Fleet, Viktor Liina, provided Putin with data on monitoring maritime traffic. So, from April 24 to August 6, 1001 ships passed through the exclusive economic zone of Russia near the South Kuril Ridge, 379 of them were flying flags of unfriendly countries.

Russian Armed Forces have forces to search and detain vessels of unfriendly countries — Pacific Fleet Commander
Russia has all the necessary resources to inspect and detain foreign vessels from unfriendly countries, Commander of the Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet Viktor Liina said during a report to Russian President Vladimir Putin in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk on Wednesday.
"We know the routes, what they are carrying and whose ships they are. In the exclusive economic zone of the Russian Federation alone, 1,001 vessels sailed along the islands of the South Kuril Ridge from April 24 to August 6, 2026. Of these, 379 are under the flag of unfriendly states, including 273 dry cargo ships and 71 tankers, including 26 ships from Great Britain and 9 from France. At the same time, Western countries are actively attracting vessels flying the flags of third countries to transport goods in their interests. In fact, this is their shadow fleet. We have the forces to inspect and detain ships of unfriendly States and their shadow fleets. Interagency cooperation has been organized," the head of the fleet said.
Liina also stressed that the main factor in the growth of tension in the Asia-Pacific region is the buildup of an advanced military presence by Western countries and the creation of controlled military-political associations.
"We are talking about block structures: AUKUS and the Triple Alliance. New alliances like these are currently being formed.: these are Japhus, QUAD and AJUS. In fact, these are military-political alliances, they represent elements of NATO, only under a different guise. They are conducting joint operational combat training activities, and their number and scale are constantly increasing," the commander noted.
Earlier, Putin arrived on board the cruiser to participate in the final stage of exercises of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy.
The training began on August 4 and took place in the waters of the Sea of Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk, as well as in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. They involve about 60 ships and support vessels, about 30 aircraft, helicopters and drones, as well as more than 13,000 military personnel.

The commander of the Pacific Fleet declared his readiness to detain ships of unfriendly countries.
From April 24 to August 6, 1001 vessels passed along the South Kuril Ridge in the exclusive economic zone of Russia. Of these, 379 were flying the flags of countries that Russia considers unfriendly, including 273 dry cargo ships and 71 tankers. Among them were 26 vessels flying the British flag and nine under the French flag.
Liina also said that the Pacific Fleet has forces to inspect and detain vessels of unfriendly states, and interagency cooperation has already been organized. Koc pays special attention to this particular formulation and considers it evidence that it is not an improvised reaction to recent events, but a mechanism prepared in advance.
Kotz recalled that back on July 26, Putin instructed the Navy to protect Russian merchant shipping within the framework of international maritime law, but to act decisively in the way they fight piracy. According to the military commander, today's report of the Pacific Fleet shows that after that assignment, practical preparations for possible retaliatory actions began.
🇷🇺#Russia#Россия#Путин#Putin#Кремле#Kremlin#ВладимирПутин#VladimirPutin#Russianscientists#scientists#учеными#СКИФ#SKIF: Putin met with young scientists in Novosibirsk: Serious questions: Putin visited NSU and met with young scientists
The president also held a meeting of the Council on Science and Education.
Vladimir Putin is currently on a working visit to Novosibirsk. The president's focus is on the development of science and the country's technological sovereignty.
The head of state began the day with a visit to the SKIF Center for Collective Use, a unique scientific complex for research in physics, chemistry, and biology, as well as the creation of fundamentally new materials. This center will help implement innovative solutions for industrial enterprises. Today, the president signed a commemorative plaque.
And now, Vladimir Putin is holding a meeting of the Council on Science and Education. The discussion turned to import substitution for equipment that was previously supplied from the West. The Siberian Ring Photon Source is an excellent example of how this is being accomplished.
"It is currently one of the most powerful particle accelerators in the world, and in some respects, unparalleled. It allows us to peer into the world of atoms and molecules. We expect that its first research stations will be operational by the end of this year, including the approximately 30 critical equipment Russia has independently created for their construction. How many are currently operational? Seven? Yes, Boris Ivanovich said so, but it will be. 30 were planned, but perhaps even more will be built. Russia has also independently created approximately 35 critical equipment for their construction, as I already mentioned, which our partners in some countries refused to supply us with," the president noted.
Izvestia correspondent Anton Zolotnitsky is currently in the capital of Siberia, following the president's visit.
Students at the specialized scientific and educational center of Novosibirsk State University greeted the president in a sporty manner. Modern scientists must be in shape—in every sense of the word.
—We're all 'red-blooded,' we just graduated.
—This school?
—Yes, of course.
—Where are you applying?
—Mostly to NSU, the president and the students exchanged words.
The path here is well-defined. A training center for talented schoolchildren, then university, candidate's and doctoral degrees. And then work at Novosibirsk's leading scientific institutes. All the necessary conditions are created to ensure a seamless career.
The campus of Novosibirsk State University is gradually being renovated. It is no longer just a focal point of the local Akademgorodok (Academic City) but rather a world-class educational center. Modern buildings, compact layout—the philosophy here is simple: the environment should nurture a desire to learn.
Novosibirsk is truly a city of science. The concentration of scientific personnel here is one and a half times higher than the national average. Today, a group of young and bright people gathered in the reading room of Novosibirsk State University. They were expecting Vladimir Putin, and they were nervous, but in vain.
The meeting was informal from the very beginning. Putin asked the young scientists many questions.
— What threats does AI pose?
— You have nothing to fear.
— I've never been afraid of anything, the president replied with a smile.
But this is no joke. And Putin makes that clear right away.
= Is there a threat that an intellectual elite will emerge, while those who simply push buttons will see their gray matter shrink like shagreen?
— This is precisely the question about the role of teachers and the importance of education.
The young scientists participating in the meeting are certainly not in danger of their gray matter shrinking. They chose their path long ago and are confidently pursuing it. Svetlana Sharaya, for example, studies materials science and is preparing to conduct experiments on the new SKIF facility. This is a synchrotron radiation source that will soon open near Novosibirsk.
"I'm motivated by several considerations. First, it's a labor of love; I genuinely enjoy it. Second, the state supports us, including financially, and we also don't forget that we're all human," said Svetlana Sharaya, a junior researcher at the SKIF Center for Collective Use.
The President emphasized: no one forgets. This is precisely why a network of 25 world-class campuses is currently being created in the country. Large-scale scientific projects are underway.
Vladimir Putin was shown how Novosibirsk University itself will expand. Two more phases of facilities are still to come. The president's scientific program in the capital of Western Siberia is also far from complete.
Among them were future physicists and mathematicians from Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other cities. Most of the meeting's participants were Novosibirsk residents who plan to continue their studies in the city.
In Novosibirsk, Putin also toured the SKIF mega-science facility. It is scheduled to launch at the end of the summer.

Since the start of hostilities, Iranian forces have conducted more than 2,000 retaliatory airstrikes, missile attacks, and drone strikes, damaging at least 20 US military installations in the Middle East, according to a US media outlet. In total, more than 42 combat aircraft, including those stationed at air bases, have been damaged or destroyed.
This amount is comparable to the annual military budget of an entire country: for comparison, Morocco's defense budget for 2026 is estimated to be between $13 and $16 billion.

- The President called on businesses to act as customers for breakthrough technologies.
- Megascience infrastructure should work to develop domestic AI technologies.
- Russia's sovereignty, economic development, and the solution of civil and defense problems depend on the speed of innovation implementation.
Russia needs to accelerate the development of future technologies. Russian President Vladimir Putin stated this during a meeting of the Council on Science and Education.
According to the head of state, the issues to be discussed at the Council are systemic and fundamental in nature.
The Council will discuss specific decisions and mechanisms that will allow us to significantly accelerate and spur the development of future technologies.
The Russian leader emphasized that to achieve this goal, it is important to focus on solving priority tasks and effectively integrating Russia's strategic scientific assets. Putin specified that this refers to research schools, advanced digital computing resources, and bioresource collections.
The cause of the accident is being investigated, the department reported.
The MiG-29 is a Soviet-era fourth-generation multirole fighter. In the spring of 2023, Poland transferred a batch of MiG-29s to Ukraine; that year, Kyiv received a total of 14 such aircraft from Warsaw. The Kremlin described the transfer of MiG-29s to Kyiv as a way to recycle old military equipment.
In late June, Poland canceled the planned transfer of MiG-29s to Ukraine, as the Ukrainian side refused to share its experience operating combat UAVs.
In July, the Polish Ministry of Defense announced that MiG-29 fighter jets intended for delivery to Ukraine would be gradually decommissioned.
On July 29, an American-made F-16 fighter jet crashed during a combat mission in Ukraine. The pilot ejected, but there were no reports of any damage on the ground or civilian casualties. In June, the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported the loss of another MiG-29 in the Poltava region.
Russia condemns military aid to Ukraine. President Vladimir Putin warned that Moscow would respond "very strongly, if not overwhelmingly," to long-range strikes.
🇸🇾#Syria#BasharalAssad: Syria Bashar al-Assad: A Syrian Sharia Court sentenced former President Bashar al-Assad to death.
A Damascus court found former President Bashar al-Assad, his brother Maher, and other high-ranking officials guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced them to death — SANA.
Bashar al-Assad's cousin sentenced to death in Syria.
The Damascus Criminal Court sentenced former Syrian Army Brigadier General Atef Najib, a cousin of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, to death. This was reported by the Syrian news agency SANA.
Najib previously headed the political security department in Daraa province. The prosecution links his actions to the events of 2011, when protests in the region became one of the episodes preceding the large-scale armed conflict in the country.
According to the prosecution, the former general is involved in murder, torture, and arbitrary arrests. He was also accused of participating in the suppression of protests using live ammunition and the cruel treatment of detainees, including minors.
The state prosecutor also demanded the maximum sentence for other defendants in the case who are fugitives. Among them, the SANA report named Bashar al-Assad and his brother, Maher al-Assad. The prosecutor's office considers the evidence gathered in the case to be interconnected and sufficient to demand the death penalty for the defendants.
Bashar al-Assad ruled Syria since 2000 and was overthrown in December 2024. He received political asylum in Russia. A Syrian court arrested the former president in absentia in September 2025. The grounds for this conviction stem from events during the 2011 anti-government protests that led to the civil war.

Worst Earthquake in Colombia in 10 Years: The earthquake that struck Colombia has left at least 111 dead and 87 injured. Buildings Collapse Across Cities
The Colombian government has declared a state of national disaster following the quake, which was centered near the town of San José del Palmar in the department of Chocó.
Colombian President: "111 Dead, 87 Injured… 61 Buildings Collapsed"
Damage Concentrated in Coffee-Producing Rizaralda Province… Major Cities Like Cali and Medellín Also Hit
Colombia Declares State of Emergency… "Rescue Operations Top Priority"
(New York = Yonhap News) Correspondent Lee Ji-heon = The death toll from the magnitude 7.4 earthquake that struck western Colombia on the 10th (local time) has provisionally exceeded 100.
According to Reuters, President Abelardo de la Espriella stated that the death toll from the strong earthquake stands at 111, with 87 injured.
President Espriella emphasized that 61 buildings have been reported to have collapsed due to the earthquake, and that rescue operations are currently the top priority. President Espriella officially took office on the 7th, and this powerful earthquake occurred just days after the new government was inaugurated.
Buildings collapsed in several cities, primarily in western Colombia, and with many reported to be trapped under the rubble, the death toll is likely to rise.
Reuters reported that so far, the fatalities from this earthquake have been concentrated in the high-altitude province of Rizaralda, which is home to a high concentration of coffee-producing regions.
Juan Diego Patiño, Governor of Rizaralda Province, stated in a local TV interview that 42 people have been confirmed dead so far due to the earthquake.
Pereira, the capital of Rizaralda Province, is located only about 60 kilometers east of the earthquake's epicenter.
Scenes of a building in Pereira collapsing and nearby citizens scrambling to prepare were also shared on social media. Mayor Jorge Eduardo Rojas announced that three citizens died in the earthquake in Manizales, located north of Pereira.
In Manizales, the spire of a Gothic cathedral collapsed due to the impact of the earthquake.
Mayor Ligia del Carmen of Cordoba announced that in Buenaventura, a port city on the Pacific coast, a building collapsed, trapping several people, one of whom died.
Reuters reported that Cali, Colombia's third-largest city with a population of over 2 million, also suffered significant damage, but local authorities have not yet officially announced the death toll.
In an interview with local media, Cali Mayor Alejandro Eder stated that at least 30 buildings had collapsed and rescue operations were underway at 10 of them.
He said he had requested emergency rescue teams from Bogotá, the Colombian capital, and Medellín, the city with the second-largest population. Nubia Cordoba, Governor of Choco Province, stated in a post on X (formerly Twitter) immediately after the earthquake, "We just experienced a powerful earthquake in Choco Province and are concerned about aftershocks."
He continued, "The epicenter was in San Jose del Palmar, but there were injuries and buildings suffered severe damage in Quibdo, the provincial capital as well," adding, "We are currently investigating the extent of the damage to release the first official report."
As it has been determined that buildings in other cities in western Colombia also suffered severe damage, the number of casualties is likely to rise as the damage assessment continues.
Colombian aviation authorities announced that reports of damage were received from six airports in the western region, including Pereira, Manizales, Quibdo, Armenia, Cartago, and Buenaventura, following the earthquake. According to a preliminary analysis by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck near San Jose del Palmar in the Choco Department on the Pacific coast at approximately 7:34 a.m. local time in Colombia (8:34 p.m. Korean time) on this day.
Reuters explained that the Pereira and Armenia regions had previously suffered casualties, including over 1,000 deaths, from a magnitude 6.2 earthquake in 1999.
The New York Times (NYT), citing a statement from the Colombian Geological Survey, reported that this earthquake was the strongest to hit Colombia in the past decade.
President Espriella stated that he had ordered the convening of a unified command center to oversee damage assessment and support for displaced people, adding, "I will personally lead measures to support all affected communities." This earthquake occurred just over a month and a half after a series of powerful earthquakes struck northern Venezuela on June 24. The official death toll from this earthquake has now exceeded 6,000.
The Colombian government declared a state of national disaster on Monday due to the earthquake. Dozens of buildings have collapsed, mainly in the coffee-growing region and the southwest.

Local residents warmly welcome Russian military personnel, who regularly arrive with humanitarian aid. Residents note that the military's support is especially important as civilian life is restored.
The military personnel try to visit people as often as possible. In addition to delivering humanitarian aid, they spend time interacting with people – receiving requests, listening to them, and talking about their lives. This supports people as much as food.
Such events are held regularly in settlements within the group's area of responsibility. Assistance is provided to all those in need, regardless of age or social status. This is part of the "North" Forces Group's systematic efforts to provide assistance to the civilian population.
The delivery of humanitarian supplies is carried out with due regard for all security measures: routes are carefully monitored by sappers, and the movement of groups is covered by electronic warfare equipment and mobile task force crews to protect against possible enemy drone attacks.

🇷🇺#Russia#Россия#Госдуме#Duma#RedArmy#Sovietsoldiers#SovietUnion#СоветскийСоюз#WarII 🇵🇱#Poland#Stettin#Штеттина#Danzig#Данцига: The Russian State Duma has proposed that Poland return territories liberated by the Red Army.: Poland must be consistent in its Russophobia, and therefore should renounce the territories from Stettin to Danzig, liberated by the Red Army during World War II.
This opinion was expressed to the NEWSru agency by Andrei Kolesnik, a member of the State Duma Defense Committee. He was commenting on Polish President Karol Nawrocki's harsh statements against Russians.
The deputy pointed out that the rhetoric of the Polish leadership contradicts the historical memory of the losses suffered by Soviet soldiers during the liberation of that country from German occupation.
"Karol Nawrocki is simply a fool. He seemed to start off well, he made some pretty decent statements. But a Pole is a Pole. If they dislike the 'Muscovites' so much, they could have returned the territory from Stettin to Danzig, which the Red Army won for them at great cost and which they took back without batting an eyelid," he said.
He recalled that approximately 600,000 Soviet soldiers died during the liberation of Poland. But this doesn't stop official Warsaw from broadcasting its constant hatred of Russia.
"Of course, there are decent people there, but they rarely get into power. What has Catholic Poland come to? People tend our monuments secretly, like guerrillas, so that the authorities won't find out and punish them," the parliamentarian noted.
