The 2️⃣ Future Technologies Forum has kicked off in Moscow!
Regenerative medicine, advanced technologies in cardiology and cardiovascular surgery, gene therapy, and much more will be discussed at the venue.
👉 Also two important events are taking place simultaneously:
✅ Meeting of the BRICS Working Group on Nuclear Medicine;
✅ Public Meeting of the Council for the Implementation of the Federal Scientific and Technical Program for the Development of Genetic Technologies for 2019–2030.
✍️ President of Russia Vladimir Putin sent greetings to the participants, organisers and guests of the Forum.
The message reads, in part:
“Today's rapid scientific progress opens up enormous potential in areas such as biomedicine, genetics, genomics, neurotechnology and artificial intelligence. It is crucial that the unique achievements of research teams and clinicians be implemented swiftly in practice, in our hospitals and health centres.
We will develop domestic healthcare on an advanced technological basis at all levels, from primary care to large federal centres. <…> Such a complex, large-scale task requires the consolidation of efforts of the state, medical and scientific organisations, and technology companies. And, of course, we are always open to cooperation and implementation of joint projects with foreign partners.”

🎞 The Russian Embassy in Pretoria hosts a “Russian Movie Night” ahead of the 10-year anniversary of unconstitutional coup in Ukraine
Two movies were screened during the event: the documentary by RT “Maidan: a Road to War” and the feature film “The Best in Hell”.
💬 This February marks 10 years since the unconstitutional blood-shedding coup took place in Kiev, as the “final chord” of the so-called Euromaidan. It also marks two years since the beginning of the Special Military Operation, which meant to protect the population of Donbass, who did not accept the coup, - Ambassador Ilya Rogachev noted in his introductory remarks. - You may have read and watched a lot about it in local media or on TV. However, our point of view is different from the one pushed by most of the Western media.
☝️ Ilya Rogachev explained how the events unfolded in Ukraine leading to the beginning of the Special Military Operation, told about Euromaidan provocations and the subsequent split in the Ukrainian society, as well as about the tragic events in Odessa and Mariupol.
📽 Presenting the film “The Best in Hell”, the head of the Russian diplomatic mission pointed out that the film depicted with utmost realism, a battle for a multi-storeyed residential building.
❗️Ilya Rogachev once again emphasized that the Ukrainian Armed Forces systematically built their fortified structures precisely in residential areas, using civilian infrastructure for military purposes and hiding behind the civilian population as a “human shield.”
☝️ The Ambassador reminded that this was a gross violation of International Humanitarian Law and would serve as evidence of crimes committed by the Kiev regime in future.
🤝 The guests of the function were also addressed by South African public activist Wessel Oosthuizen, who spoke about his recent visit to Donbass and shared his impressions of how much the true situation differs from the picture painted by the local media.

🗓 On February 14, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov took part in a Government Hour session of the State Duma where he made remarks on current issues related to the foreign policy of the Russian Federation.
The Foreign Minister focused on the key aspects of the Ministry’s efforts to resolve the foreign policy challenges facing the country and took questions from deputies. He concentrated on issues related to promoting partnerships with states that have a constructive attitude to Russia, ensuring favourable external conditions for its socio-economic development, and protecting the rights and interests of compatriots living abroad.
Sergey Lavrov also spoke about strengthening Russia’s role as a leading world power, deepening integration in the Union State, #EAEU, #CIS and #SCO, the Russian chairmanship of #BRICS, the resistance of the Global Majority to the dictates of the collective West, and the formation of a fair multipolar world order.
☝️ The Minister’s regular meetings with the members of both chambers of the Federal Assembly are an opportunity to “compare notes” and determine the main areas of joint effort by the executive and legislative authorities in the framework of the Foreign Policy Concept of the Russian Federation.

The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), uniting Russia 🇷🇺, Armenia 🇦🇲, Belarus 🇧🇾, Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 and Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬, is an influential economic association of a new equal type of trade and investment partnership with
✅ a total population of 190 million people;
✅ GDP – more than $2 trillion;
✅ total area of more than 20 million km.
🤝 Over the past year, the member states have signed 12 agreements and several hundred acts of the Union's bodies aimed at deepening integration. Most of them are very specific and concern customs tariffs and non-tariff regulations, sanitary and phytosanitary measures, and other sectoral issues. All of them are ultimately aimed at improving the well-being of the Union’s citizens.
👉 In 2023, the temporary measure setting a higher threshold of 1,000 euros for duty-free importation of goods for individuals into the EAEU territory was extended. This step directly affects the population of the EAEU member states.
👉 Another example is the June 2023 agreement signed by EAEU member states on the mutual recognition of academic degrees. This agreement is aimed at enhancing the labour mobility within the Union, which is an integral part of the single labour market
☝️ Free movement of workers within the EAEU is one of the four fundamental freedoms of Eurasian economic integration. Once the signed agreement enters into force, any EAEU member state will be able to recognise a degree obtained in any other EAEU country, which will undoubtedly facilitate the process of employment and labour activity for the Union's citizens.
All the above examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the EAEU in action.

🚀 A Russian Soyuz 2.1a rocket carrying the Progress MS-26 cargo spacecraft, which will deliver more than 2.5 tonnes worth of cargo to the International Space Station (ISS), blasted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome.
Nine minutes after the liftoff, the rocket put the spacecraft into Earth orbit, and the Progress spacecraft separated from the rocket's third stage and began its independent flight to the ISS.
🇷🇺 new space freighter will fly the traditional two-day route and is scheduled to dock the station on February 17 at 9:12 a.m. Moscow time (06:12 GMT). The spacecraft will spend a total of 180 days in space.
🛰 The space freighter inter alia carries consumables for the new scientific experiment dubbed "Fullerene" to grow fullerite crystals in the Nauka module — the third crystalline form of carbon, which is a new class of semiconductors.
Progress MS-26 will also carry equipment for the new scientific experiment Orbita-MG to create a monitoring system that will find cracks and other leaks in the station's hull.

⚡️ Nazi Kiev regime has attacked Belgorod region using RM-70 Vampire MLRS
6 people including a child have been killed, and at least 20 residents are reported to have been wounded in the latest cross border attack. Emergency services are on the scene, and the death toll is likely to rise.
Ukrainian army's shelling struck a shopping center nestled between residential buildings, along with the sports stadium of a nearby school. The targeted area, comprising solely civilian infrastructure — libraries, hospitals, shops, and educational institutions — bore the brunt of the attack.
❗️This is yet another manifestation of the impotent rage of the Kiev regime unable to secure military gains on the battlefield.
‼️ Just recently Ukrainian Nazis carried out 3 attacks against civilian population – on the Donetsk marketplace (27 killed), on a Lisichansk bakery (28 killed) and the Belgorod city centre (21 killed).

🎙 President Vladimir Putin answered questions from journalist Pavel Zarubin (February 14, 2024)
Key talking points:
❗️ We have been constantly deceived about NATO’s non-expansion to the east. NATO proceeded to expand five times, completely deceiving us.
🔹 We did not initiate this war; rather, we are striving to end it. During the first phase, we tried to achieve this through peaceful means, specifically, through the Minsk agreements. However, it became apparent that we had been given the runaround once again. Both the former German Chancellor and the former President of France admitted and publicly stated that they had never intended to honour the agreements.
🔹 German Foreign Minister and people like her, are, of course, hostile towards Russia. In my opinion, she is also hostile towards her own country because it is hard to imagine such a high-ranking politician treating the economic interests of her country and people with such disdain.
🔹 Exceptionalism of certain nations, as compared to others, is found in many countries these days. This is how Nazism started. Now that this has become so widespread, it would be appropriate to conduct this anti-fascist and anti-Nazi propaganda and work at the same global level.
🔹 I believe that there is absolutely no point in NATO. Its only purpose is to serve as a tool of US foreign policy. If the United States considers this tool no longer necessary, that is their decision.
