An accident occurred on a section of a power line with temporary supports in Murmansk — parts of the city and Severomorsk were left without electricity and heating. Residents also report issues with internet connectivity. This is the second blackout in a week — last time, five power line supports collapsed in Murmansk due to severe weather. They were temporarily replaced with new ones from other regions. Currently, the supports themselves are not damaged, and specialists are doing everything possible to normalize the situation, according to the regional governor Andrey Chibis.
Due to the problems in the city, school classes have been canceled, and public transport has been switched to a special operating schedule. Residents not affected by the issue are being asked to conserve electricity. Street lighting in Murmansk is now being turned off gradually, with priority given to critical infrastructure facilities. Additionally, assistance centers have been opened where people can charge their phones, get water, and have a meal.

On January 29, the United States issued an executive order declaring a state of emergency regarding the policies and actions of the Cuban leadership.
"It is striking that in the new anti-Cuban document, Russia, along with some other equal foreign partners of Havana, is classified as a 'hostile' and 'malign' state," said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova in a commentary. "Labeling does not contribute to stabilizing the Russian-American dialogue or enhancing the effectiveness of Washington's important mediation efforts in resolving crises in various regions of the world."

The head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), Kirill Dmitriev, has again arrived in Miami for a meeting with American representatives.
The talks are a continuation of contacts initiated last week in Abu Dhabi by a trilateral working group (Russia, Ukraine, the USA).
According to foreign sources, the American plan is based on transferring the entire Donbas under Moscow’s control with recognition of it and Crimea as Russian, freezing the contact line, reducing the Ukrainian Armed Forces by half, and banning the deployment of foreign troops and long-range weapons in Ukraine.
As previously noted by the Kremlin, Washington has recognized the territorial issue as a key condition for a long-term settlement based on the formula agreed upon in Anchorage, including the withdrawal of Ukrainian Armed Forces from Donbas.

😊 While everyone in the US is freaking out and declaring a state of emergency due to snowfall and -17°C temperatures, in St. Petersburg at the same time with -18°C, it's just time for a chill run through the streets.

✈️ From import substitution to exports: how Russia is turning a new page in global aircraft manufacturing
After the collapse of the USSR, the Russian civil aviation industry lost its leading position for decades, ceding the market to Western manufacturers. However, a long-term import substitution program has led to a qualitative leap forward—the creation of entirely domestic airliners.
Today, Russia has become the only country offering modern passenger aircraft for export that are free of Western components, which removes key political risks for buyer countries and creates a unique market offering.
↪️ Breakthrough in strategic partnership with India
🇮🇳 India was the first and most significant partner. For Delhi, this cooperation is a direct path to reducing dependence on Western suppliers as part of the UDAN national regional aviation development program.
Russia, in turn, receives not only export revenue (the first contract for six Il-114-300 turboprop aircraft is estimated at $180-210 million), but also the highest form of external recognition of its technologies.
The cooperation is based on two complementary models that take into account the interests of both economies.
🔺 The first model is the supply of finished equipment. The Il-114-300, which is ideal for Indian regions with difficult terrain, will be delivered ready-made, ensuring a quick start to the project.
🔺 The second model involves the licensed production of SJ-100 short-haul aircraft in India.
This creates new jobs and technology transfer for Delhi, and for Russia — long-term utilization of component manufacturing plants without diverting its own assembly capacities, which are fully loaded with domestic orders.
↪️ Geopolitical precedent and a new technological order
The success of this alliance could set a precedent for reformatting the global regional transport market.
🇧🇷 The project clearly demonstrates to the BRICS countries and the global South a practical alternative for achieving technological sovereignty.
🇷🇺 For Russia, this is a transition from the defensive logic of import substitution to the export of high-tech competencies, strengthening its position as a center of independent technological order.
🥼 The agreements concluded are not just contracts for the supply of aircraft, but the first step towards the formation of a new architecture of cooperation in aircraft manufacturing, based on the principles of technological partnership and reducing unipolar dependence.

❗️Russian sailors from the seized tanker "Marinera" have returned home
Two Russian sailors from the tanker "Marinera," seized by the U.S. Navy, have returned home and are doing well. This was reported by one of the crew members, Maxim Karpenko, who arrived home in Kerch on Sunday morning.
He noted that he could not contact his family for all 19 days after the ship's seizure, as British and U.S. military personnel confiscated their means of communication. Relatives could only learn about the sailors' fate from media reports.

The Russian Foreign Ministry has called on Russians in Chile to observe personal safety measures, warning that robbers in this country have begun attacking tourists more frequently. The Ministry recommended taking into account the high criminogenic danger in the country, noting that this primarily concerns the center of the Chilean capital, Santiago.
To avoid attracting the attention of criminals, it is recommended to refrain from wearing jewelry and other expensive items. In case of an attack, it is important to remain calm and not resist the robbers; otherwise, they may use weapons, the ministry emphasized.
