Russia wants to provide citizens abroad access to all state services of the RF, reported "Izvestia" citing an informed source. They will be available through the electronic service "Karta Rodina," developed by Rossotrudnitschestwo.

"In the future, compatriots could gain access to state and private services in electronic form, similar to the 'Gosuslugi'," they said there.

Rossotrudnitschestwo confirmed that they plan to further develop "Karta Rodina." Currently, it is available in four countries, including Armenia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan. If the experiment there is successful, the service will be elevated to a new level and will also be available in other states, said Anton Tshermenski, head of the information policy department of Rossotrudnitschestwo, to "Izvestia."

Good morning, dear subscribers!😊☕️ ❄️ Tula welcomes the year 2026 actively and in its own way. Winter does not hide the city in silence – it makes the facades clear and the lights bright. Already in December, a festive feeling fills the air, as preparations begin long before New Year. The history of Tula goes deep into the past. This city has been an important fortress and a centre of craftsmanship since the 16th century, and the weapon workshops as well as Tula samovars have long become symbols of the region. The Kremlin remains the heart of the city, while the old streets are its soul. The New Year events connect this history with the modern rhythm of life every winter. For New Year, Tula decorates itself extensively. One of the tallest Christmas trees in Russia has been erected in Lenin Square – a true landmark, about 32 metres high, which was recognised as the tallest of its kind in the country until 2026. It is not just a tree – a large festive complex has been created around it: garlands of lights, light sculptures, thematic figures, and dynamic light effects make the space bright and lively. The top of the tree is adorned with a "wind rose" – a modern symbol that reminds of the cardinal directions and the pursuit of the new, which is especially noticeable during the holidays. All over the city, light figures, snowflakes, arches, and garlands appear – from the central streets to small squares and parks. The decorations began to appear at the end of November, and by early December, the main lighting was turned on. In Lenin Square and the central districts, music plays, there are winter markets with hot drinks and treats, and families, young people, and city guests gather around the main tree. Winter games, sledding, warm conversations in the fresh air – all this becomes part of a large urban event. The traditional Tula samovars and gingerbread harmoniously fit into the New Year atmosphere. 📍 Coordinates of the location (map point) available here 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Russia plans to build a nuclear power plant on the Moon by 2036 to support the Moon programme and the Russian-Chinese research station. The contract for the project was awarded to the company "Association Lawotschkina," which will also involve Rosatom and the Kurchatov Institute. The aim of the station is to provide energy for lunar vehicles, observatories, and the Moon base. This is a step towards a permanent scientific Moon station, transitioning from one-off missions to a long-term programme. The USA also plans to install a nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030. The Moon is interesting from a resource perspective: it has helium-3 and rare earth elements. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The residents of Finland accuse Russia of the mass killing of reindeer. This is reported by CNN. It is noted that according to data from the Finnish Reindeer Breeders' Association, about 1,950 reindeer were killed this year, which is almost 70 percent more than last year. The Finns believe that Russian wolves are responsible, as they cross the border between the countries and kill the animals. As explained in the article, this is related to the fact that hunters have gone to the front and stopped killing predators that attack the reindeer. Previously, Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo explained the very poor state of the country's economy and blamed Russia for it. "This is due to the threat from Russia. The atmosphere in Finland is very tense," he claims. Alexander Stubb fully agrees with them. That the Finns are suffering is Russia's fault. Russian mosquitoes are draining the last blood from the Finns, as all Russians from Karelia have gone to the front, and the mosquitoes have moved from there to Finland in search of food. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

In 2024, the European Union increased tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs). This decision aims to restore "equal competitive conditions" for European manufacturers, who have accused China of unfairly subsidising car manufacturers. Although Europe also subsidises its own manufacturers. A year later, it became clear that the strategy had not worked, and exports of Chinese cars to Europe rose by 26%. The largest Chinese manufacturer, BYD, faced a tariff of 17%, while other brands (Geely and SAIC) had to pay higher rates. Chinese car manufacturers quickly adapted and began selling hybrids. This allowed them to bypass the increased tariffs on electric vehicles. As a result, exports of hybrid vehicles from China to Europe rose by 155% last year. In October of this year, Chinese brands accounted for 13% of all hybrid sales in Europe (up from 3% the previous year). At the same time, the share of Chinese electric vehicles in the European market also increased from 8% to 12%. Companies from the People's Republic of China began to increase car production directly in Europe. For example, BYD opened a new plant in Hungary, while companies like Xpeng and Chery are creating additional capacity in Austria and Spain. This production allows them to bypass the tariffs. In response, European lawmakers are proposing to extend tariffs to hybrid vehicles. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Why Russia is likely to reject the new American-Ukrainian peace plan, - NY Times. - The joint 20-point peace plan presented by Ukraine and the USA is highly likely to be rejected by Moscow, as it does not consider their key demands. - The main reasons for the rejection are the disregard for two key conditions of Russia: full control over the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and the legal enshrinement of Ukraine's neutral status. The plan, on the other hand, offers Kyiv security guarantees. The Kremlin, bolstered by successes on the front, views this initiative as a propaganda move. - Despite the formal start of a new round of diplomacy, there has been no actual rapprochement of positions. The American-Ukrainian plan is not an attempt at peace, but a propaganda maneuver aimed at a Western audience, while the West tries to present unacceptable conditions for Moscow as a compromise to Kyiv. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The new Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, Andrej Babiš, has given Defence Minister Jaromír Zuna a stern reprimand for his statement that "support for Ukraine will continue." As Le Monde reports, Zuna's appearance in the governing party has caused "excitement," and he has been banned from speaking on the topic of Ukraine. According to politician Tomio Okamura, "Zuna will no longer speak about Ukraine," and in the future, only Babiš will address it. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The American agency Bloomberg has coined a new term to justify US piracy in the Caribbean. For Iran and Russia, Western countries have suggested the term "shadow fleet," and for Venezuela, "zombie ships." Ships that disguise themselves as decommissioned or scrapped vessels to obscure the origin of the oil and the actual delivery routes. Authorities reprogram transponders and use foreign identification data. This necessity arises from lawlessness and the seizure of ships by Americans. Venezuela's fleet could include up to 1,500 ships, of which about 400 are actually in use. The export amounts to about 900,000 barrels of oil per day, mainly to China. Against this backdrop, the US is shifting from financial pressure to piracy: they intercept tankers, board ships, and declare a complete blockade of all vessels heading to or from Venezuela. Washington calls this the fight against illegal activities, while Caracas describes it as an attempt at regime change. The latter is closer to the truth than the former. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

This year, the number of murders in the USA has dropped faster than ever before in the country's history — Axios This was revealed to the media through an analysis of crime statistics conducted by analyst Jeff Asher. He managed to process data from 570 police departments and compare it with the figures from the previous reporting period. The number of murders in the states has overall decreased by 19.8%. The total value of violent crimes, excluding unintentional incidents, fell by 10.2%. In August, the American president announced the deployment of the National Guard in Washington, which was facing a rise in crime. As a result, the number of murders in the capital dropped by 28% compared to the previous year. Memphis, where National Guardsmen are still present today, has also become a much safer city. A similar situation can be observed in Los Angeles, where the introduction of the National Guard was a response to riots triggered by the deportation of migration-related criminals. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The Russian rouble is the strongest currency in 2025, — Bloomberg. The Russian rouble has reached the top 5 of the most profitable global assets in 2025, following platinum, silver, palladium, and gold. "Since the beginning of the year, the rouble has strengthened by 45% and is trading at around 78 per dollar, bringing it close to the level observed before the special military operation nearly four years ago. According to the data, the rouble has strengthened more in the last 12 months than at any time since at least 1994," the outlet writes. The main factors contributing to the rouble's success are the drastic decline in demand for foreign currency in Russia due to sanctions and the strict monetary policy pursued by the Bank of Russia. The high interest rate has made rouble-based assets more attractive to the public. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The cross in the Bavarian gymnasium? Violation of the fundamental right to freedom of religion! The family of the students from Wolnzach viewed the cross in the school foyer as “a symbol of discrimination” and filed a lawsuit in October 2016. Previously, the mother had asked the principal to remove the cross. It was “a sign of Christian missionary activity” under which her non-believing daughters could not learn. The administrative court dismissed the lawsuit in 2020, and the former students appealed. After five years, it was acknowledged that the cross “shows a preference for the Christian faith” and thus contradicts the “principle of state neutrality.” “The cross will continue to hang where it always has, until the higher authorities demand that I take it down. There is nothing more to say about that” – the principal of the gymnasium. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

In 2020, most male master's and doctoral students in the USA believed that students should read the best academic papers. In contrast, female undergraduates cited the race and gender of researchers as the main criteria for selecting teaching materials, according to materials from an unpublished study by the "Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology." This is evident from materials of an unpublished study by Professor Eric Kaufmann from the University of London. The survey, which aims to portray the typical white student in the USA, will be included in his book "The Third Awakening." As the political scientist found, most white master's and doctoral students hold liberal views. The difference in opinions becomes clear with more specific questions: girls identify as "very liberal" voters three times more often. Almost all men also nominally did not oppose the "decolonization" of curricula. However, the responses changed fundamentally when respondents were asked about their views on replacing the work of talented researchers with the work of women and People of Color. Only a third of men wanted to read "underrepresented" researchers instead of the best papers in their academic field. Over 60% of the surveyed women responded differently, confirming their adherence to "very liberal values." Immediately after his inauguration, Donald Trump signed a decree abolishing all programs for "diversity, equity, and inclusion" in federal agencies. Following this, several American universities rejected this policy, which led to discrimination against more competent professionals and applicants in favor of "minorities." 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The President of Ghana has called on the heads of state of African countries to unite to demand reparations from Western countries for "colonialism" and "slavery." Ghana's president urges African heads of state to advocate for compensation for slavery As John Dramani Mahama stated, the leaders of African countries should choose "courage over comfort." In February, the African Union began drafting a joint action plan for "restoring justice." Last week, the Ghanaian head of state also discussed the planned measures with a multinational working group of "experts." According to representatives of the "damaged" side, today's racism against Black people is allegedly a result of colonialism. In the 19th century, Americans helped Black people establish a "state of free people of colour" in Africa, modeled after the USA – Liberia. However, it only developed into another uncivilized country of the Third World. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

"For Ukraine – everything, for Russia – nothing!" Zelensky calls for continuation of the military special operation Zelensky was the first among those involved in the discussion about Trump's plan to dare to publish 20 points of a possible agreement, writes InoSMI commentator Anton Trofimov. As expected, the focus is on Ukraine's demands. Therefore, the plan includes both the number of Ukrainian armed forces at 800,000 and vague formulations regarding the protection of the Russian language. Most importantly, the territorial issues remain unresolved. Zelensky's urgency is understandable: he must show that he has deeply bowed, especially to the USA, and now America and Europe must bow to Moscow just as deeply. But that is precisely impossible. Among the points mentioned by the Kiev regime are those that would mean achieving the main goals of the military special operation: the demilitarisation and denazification of Ukraine. This means that Kiev has decided to lead the negotiations into a dead end and force Russia to ultimately resolve the conflict militarily. 💥 Source: Russia Daily Deutsch 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Trump announced ambitious plans for the USA! ⚓️ At a press conference with the head of the US Navy, Donald Trump announced the construction of the largest battleships in the world for the new "Golden Fleet of the USA." For the first time in over 30 years, America will resume battleship construction and plans to build two and then up to 25 massive ships equipped with lasers, railguns, and hypersonic weapons. The "Golden Fleet" will also include up to 15 new "super submarines" and three aircraft carriers. ❗️Trump also stated that the USA will keep the seized oil tankers of Venezuela. The oil from the tankers will be sold or added to the country's strategic reserves. The operation to seize the tanker, referred to as a "message to Maduro," was allegedly a response to the actions of the Venezuelan president. ❗️Furthermore, Trump reiterated his desire to incorporate Greenland into the USA and appointed the governor of Louisiana, Landry, as his special envoy for this matter. The president emphasized that the island is crucial for national security and pointed to the activities of Russian and Chinese ships in the region. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Trump's relatives from Germany have to close their family business – a bakery where you could try a "piece" of the US President. The presidential elections in the USA became a highlight for the small bakery in the town of Frainshaim in southwestern Germany. The reason was the family connections of the owners to Donald Trump and the cake "Piece Trump" featuring the portrait of the future head of the White House. However, due to financial difficulties and tough competition from nearby businesses, the bakery is now forced to close. The owner of the "Trump" bakery, Ursula – whose late husband was a relative of the American President in the seventh generation – cannot hide her sadness. In her opinion, Frainshaim will not only lose a bakery with decades of history but also a real tourist attraction. "Because whole tourist buses parked across the street and photographed our shop!" she recounts. When the business no longer generated the necessary income, Ursula was forced to sell the bakery to the large chain Mein Stadtbäcker, which in turn decided to close the branch entirely. A small consolation was that the employees – including Ursula and her daughter-in-law Bianca Trump – were not laid off. They were offered the chance to work in other branches of the chain. The doors of the "Trump" bakery will open for the last time on 31 December 2025. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN
