👩🚀 On June 16, 1963, 62 years ago, Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman in history to travel into space. Her flight took place just over two years after Yury Gagarin’s historic mission and marked another major triumph for the Soviet space programme.
🚀 Aboard the Vostok-6 spacecraft, Tereshkova spent nearly three days in orbit, completing 48 revolutions around the Earth. The mission was not only a scientific experiment – researchers were eager to study the effects of spaceflight on the female body – but also a powerful symbol of the times: from that moment on, space was no longer the exclusive domain of men.
Valentina Tereshkova flew solo – an extraordinary feat, as no other woman has since made a solo spaceflight . While in orbit, she maintained radio contact with Valery Bykovsky, the pilot of Vostok-5. After a successful landing in the Altai Territory, she couldn’t resist sharing her space rations with local residents, and happily joined them for a meal of potatoes and koumiss.
🌍 At just 26 years old, Valentina Tereshkova became not only the first female cosmonaut, but a true legend. She was named a Hero of the Soviet Union, granted the status of an honorary citizen of 18 cities, and received awards from countries around the world. Her achievement inspired millions of young women in our country and beyond.
📅 Remarkably, it would be another 19 years before a woman returned to space – and once again, it was a Soviet cosmonaut: in 1982, Svetlana Savitskaya made her historic flight.
Valentina Tereshkova was the sixth Soviet cosmonaut, the twelfth person in space, and remains the youngest woman ever to orbit the Earth. Her daughter holds a unique distinction as the first person in history born to two cosmonauts.

📹 Video address of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin on the 100th Anniversary of the Artek International Children’s Centre (June 16, 2025)
💬 Friends,
The 100th Anniversary of the Artek International Children’s Centre is a momentous occasion for all of Russia. As the nation’s first camp dedicated to the recreation and health of schoolchildren, Artek has long stood as a symbol of joyful childhood and enduring friendship.
Over the years, it has warmly welcomed boys and girls from across the country and around the world. For many, the days spent on the shores of the Black Sea became a true celebration of a vivid, cherished dream come to life. At Artek, children were inspired, guided, and educated. They were encouraged to grow in harmony, to understand the power of camaraderie and teamwork, to express their creativity, and to believe in themselves. It was a place where talents were discovered, values were shaped, and goals for the future began to take form.
Meetings with renowned writers, cosmonauts, public figures, Olympic champions, and distinguished military leaders played a vital role in shaping the young minds of the schoolchildren fortunate enough to spend their holidays at Artek.
It is heartening to see that these and many other traditions continue to thrive today. What began a century ago as a modest tent camp has grown into one of the world’s largest and most renowned centres for children’s recreation. Artek’s appeal remains as strong as ever, which is why the final stage of the country’s largest youth contest, Bolshaya Peremena (The Big Recess), is now held here.
While preserving its unique spirit, Artek has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years. Today, it stands as a modern, forward-thinking space where every child can find something that inspires them, whether it is sports, the arts, exploring new technologies, or joining hikes, excursions, and workshops. The themed sessions organised by educational institutions and public organisations are particularly popular.
This vibrant, educational environment is the result of the tireless and creative efforts of educators and counsellors, teachers and medical staff – of all those who have devoted themselves to the development of Artek.
I would like to offer my sincere gratitude for your dedication, hard work and commitment. The experience gained here and the unique approaches to shaping young personalities are more relevant and valuable today than ever before.
I congratulate all generations of Artek alumni on this remarkable anniversary and wish you continued success in all your pursuits.
🎉 Happy birthday to the legendary, forever young, joyful, and one-of-a-kind Artek.

🎙 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks at talks with Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono (Moscow, June 17, 2025)
💬 Dear Mr. Minister,
Colleagues,
We are delighted to welcome you to Moscow.
It is a pleasure to host you for the third time in the past year. In the summer of 2024, we participated in our Leaders’ meeting at the Kremlin, in autumn, we travelled to Kazan for the #BRICS events, and this past winter, you met with First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov.
Today’s talks are taking place in the run-up to another Summit meeting between our Presidents. They will meet the day after tomorrow in St Petersburg, ahead of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
Several months ago, we celebrated the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between our countries. Over this period, diplomatic interaction has consistently reaffirmed the special nature of our friendly and trust-based ties, reflecting shared approaches to key international issues.
🤝 We appreciate our Indonesian partners’ constructive and substantive approach – guided by national interest – to advancing bilateral relations across trade, economic, humanitarian, political, and security cooperation.
We are pleased with our close coordination in the international arena, which is gaining momentum and taking on new forms. We welcome your country’s accession to BRICS as a full member. We are satisfied with our cooperation within the UN, the G20, and the Russia-ASEAN Dialogue Partnership.
We hope to discuss each of our cooperation tracks today to report our assessments to the Presidents of Russia and Indonesia.

⚡️ Russian Foreign Ministry Statement in connection with the escalation of the Iranian-Israeli conflict
The current escalation of the Iranian-Israeli conflict poses risks of further destabilisation across the region, particularly in the states neighbouring Israel and Iran.
The firm and unwavering response of the global majority to Israeli strikes on Iranian territory, including its nuclear energy infrastructure, alongside the outcomes of the UN Security Council’s emergency session on June 13 and the special session of the IAEA Board of Governors on June 16, underscores that the confrontational approach and destructive actions of the Israeli leadership receive understanding and support solely from those states which are de facto accomplices, motivated by opportunistic interests.
It was precisely these “sympathisers” who exerted pressure on the leadership of the Agency to prepare a controversial “comprehensive assessment” of Iran’s nuclear programme, the flaws of which were subsequently exploited to push through a biased anti-Iran resolution at the IAEA Board of Governors on June 12. This resolution effectively provided a green light to actions by West Jerusalem, leading to tragedy. Clearly, the attempts of the Western camp to manipulate the global nuclear non-proliferation regime in order to settle political scores with disfavoured nations come at a high cost to the international community and are entirely unacceptable.
Israel’s continued, intensive attacks on peaceful nuclear facilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran are unlawful under international law, pose unacceptable threats to international security, and drive the world closer to a nuclear catastrophe – the consequences of which will be felt globally, including in Israel itself.
Russia calls on the Israeli leadership to reconsider its actions and immediately cease its raids on nuclear installations and sites under IAEA safeguards and subject to IAEA verification.
The Russian side expects the leadership of the Agency to promptly prepare a detailed written report for consideration by the IAEA Board of Governors and the UN Security Council. This report must provide objective and unvarnished assessments of the damage caused by Israeli military actions to the safety of Iran’s nuclear energy complex, as well as to the application of IAEA safeguards in Iran – including the intimidation of inspectors on the ground, whose lives have been placed in grave danger.
❗️ Russia acknowledges Iran’s clear statements reaffirming its unwavering commitment to obligations under the NPT and its readiness to resume contacts with the United States to explore potential solutions that would dispel any unfounded suspicions and prejudices regarding Tehran’s nuclear programme – provided Israeli attacks cease. Moscow supports this stance and firmly maintains that a sustainable resolution can only be reliably achieved through diplomacy and negotiations.
The objectives of nuclear non-proliferation, the cornerstone of which remains the NPT, must not be pursued through aggression or at the cost of innocent lives.

You have quite a packed agenda for this gathering. It covers a wide range of matters all journalists face, from fighting fakes and misinformation to using artificial intelligence in your work.
Apart from plenary sessions, the General Assembly will also serve as a platform for holding meetings with Russian political and civil society leaders. You will also get to discover St Petersburg, Russia’s northern capital.
🤝 I am convinced that this Assembly will be constructive and fruitful. Its resolutions and recommendations will inject positive momentum into the politics-free dialogue and cooperation between various media outlets from the participating countries for promoting trust and mutual understanding in international and regional affairs.

🎙 Comment by Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov following 🇷🇺🇨🇳 a telephone conversation with President of China Xi Jinping (June 19 2025)
💬 President Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with President of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping. The phone call took place in keeping with the mutual agreement of the two Sides. This was a friendly and constructive conversation with a primary focus on the escalation in the Middle East.
The two Sides share identical approaches and firmly condemn Israel’s actions in violation of the UN Charter and other international norms.
Moscow and Beijing have adopted a position of principle in their belief that the current situation and matters relating to the Iranian nuclear programme cannot be resolved by force, while a solution can only be achieved by political and diplomatic means.
The President of Russia informed his colleague about his latest international contacts with a focus on his telephone conversations with the key actors in the context of the confrontation between Israel and Iran.
The Russian leader reaffirmed Russia’s readiness to offer its good offices, if necessary. <...>
In view of this increasingly challenging environment, the two Leaders agreed to instruct their respective teams in the relevant agencies and services of the two countries to work closely together in the coming days by sharing insights and perspectives. <...>
The conversation organically shifted to the bilateral agenda, with both Leaders stressing that the Chinese President’s May visit to Moscow helped set new important goals and benchmarks for the governments and relevant agencies in their ongoing efforts to reinforce the Russia-China comprehensive strategic partnership.
It was emphasised that the Chinese President’s participation as the main guest in the celebrations of the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War held special significance and served as a compelling testament to our shared steadfast positions in upholding historical truth and preserving the memory of the heroic feats of our forefathers. <...>
It has been agreed that the next time the Leaders will see each other will be on Chinese soil during the SCO Summit in Tianjin on August 31 – September 1. They will take part in the festivities marking the 80th anniversary of victory over militarist Japan and the end of World War II in Beijing on September 3. Full-scale bilateral talks will be held on September 2.
📈 Despite a number of adverse external factors, it was noted that trade and economic cooperation continues to gain momentum. Last year, mutual trade broke another record at almost $245 billion. <...>
The Leaders of Russia and China emphasised their mutual interest in strengthening cooperation on pressing international issues and coordinating their efforts within #BRICS, the #SCO, the #UN, and other international platforms. <...>
It was noted that it would be beneficial, in the spirit of the comprehensive strategic partnership between our countries, to coordinate mutual approaches so that the #CentralAsia region becomes a model of genuine stability, economic prosperity, and constructive cooperation.
☝️ The information we received from the President of China was highly significant and useful to us, particularly in light of our own preparations for the second high-level meeting in the Russia–Central Asia format, which is scheduled for October 10 in Dushanbe.
The Heads of State once again expressed their satisfaction with the unprecedented level of Russian-Chinese relations, and both our President and the President of China remarked at the conclusion that they were very pleased with the exchange of views. The exchange was indeed highly productive, as it addressed the most pressing issues currently on the agenda, both internationally and in terms of developing our bilateral relations and contacts.
The conversation lasted approximately an hour, and the Leaders bid each other farewell in a very warm and friendly manner.

🗓 Excerpts from Russian President Vladimir Putin's remarks and Q&A at a meeting with heads of the world’s leading news agencies on the sidelines of SPIEF-2025 (June 19, 2025)
Key statements:
• We advocate for a just world order and for respecting the rules of the World Trade Organisation, rather than changing them month to month based on shifting political agendas. We firmly oppose all forms of trade wars, restrictions, and so on.
• Our cooperation with Southeast Asia is making progress year in and year out. Trade is up. Regarding the region as a whole, we consider it extremely promising, because the share of Southeast Asian countries in the global economy and their growth rates exceed the global average. We believe these countries are very promising partners.
• Russia’s (supposed) turn towards Asia is a natural sphere of cooperation. The reason is the growth of our economies. We noticed this trend back in the early 2000s, if not at the end of the 1990s, and started developing relations with China.
• Russia is becoming a major economic partner for the People’s Republic of China. Our mutual projects alone, including investment projects, have been estimated at $200 billion. All of them are realistic and will be implemented. I have no doubt about that.
• We can see that Iranian society is consolidating around the national political leadership despite the complex internal political processes in Iran, which we are aware of, so there is no need to talk about this in detail. This happens almost always and almost everywhere, and Iran is no exception.

💬 Vladimir Putin: Mr Deputy President, friends.
Allow me to extend a warm welcome to all of you here in St Petersburg, Russia.
The relations between Russia and South Africa are developing successfully on the basis of a comprehensive strategic partnership, equality, and mutual respect. We are in regular contact with President of South Africa Cyril Ramaphosa. Last year, we held detailed discussions with him in Kazan during the #BRICS Summit, outlining steps for further cooperation. Mr Deputy President, I kindly ask you to convey my best wishes to President Ramaphosa.
I am aware that your programme in Russia is quite packed. You have already commenced your work at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum. A couple of hours ago, as I have been informed, you participated in the Russia-South Africa business dialogue. I know that yesterday you also held a meeting in Moscow with Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin, and that a meeting with the speakers of both houses of the Russian parliament is also scheduled.
📈 I would like to highlight that bilateral trade saw an increase of approximately 2 percent in 2024. Naturally, we will continue to expand and diversify our mutual trade and investment. The St Petersburg International Economic Forum serves as an excellent platform for expanding contacts and working with partners from both Russia and other countries.
We place considerable emphasis on education, traditionally. More than 40 Russian higher educational institutions have established partnerships and signed agreements with relevant South African organisations. Currently, approximately 570 students from South Africa are studying at Russian universities.
As I understand it, you previously served as Minister of Culture and consistently prioritised this area of our cooperation – in culture and sport. We eagerly anticipate the arrival of a South African delegation in Moscow this September for the international Intervision music competition.
🌐 Russia and South Africa share common approaches to addressing urgent issues on the global agenda. We coordinate our efforts on international platforms.
Overall, strengthening ties with African nations remains one of our key priorities.
As you know, following the second Russia-Africa Summit held here in St Petersburg in 2023, a substantial package of joint documents was adopted, including a policy declaration and an action plan through to 2026. Russia, South Africa, and other African partners are working collaboratively to implement these plans in practice.
Mr Deputy President, friends, welcome once again!

💬 Vladimir Putin: Mr Deputy President, friends.
Allow me to extend a warm welcome to all of you here in St Petersburg, Russia.
The relations between Russia and South Africa are developing successfully on the basis of a comprehensive strategic partnership, equality, and mutual respect. We are in regular contact with President of South Africa Cyril Ramaphosa. Last year, we held detailed discussions with him in Kazan during the #BRICS Summit, outlining steps for further cooperation. Mr Deputy President, I kindly ask you to convey my best wishes to President Ramaphosa.
I am aware that your programme in Russia is quite packed. You have already commenced your work at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum. A couple of hours ago, as I have been informed, you participated in the Russia-South Africa business dialogue. I know that yesterday you also held a meeting in Moscow with Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin, and that a meeting with the speakers of both houses of the Russian parliament is also scheduled.

🎙 Media statements by Russia's President Vladimir Putin following Russian-Indonesian talks (June 19, 2025)
💬 Vladimir Putin: Mr President, ladies and gentlemen. It is with great pleasure that we welcome the President of the Republic of Indonesia to Russia.
President Prabowo Subianto’s official visit coincides with his participation in the St Petersburg International Economic Forum. We are grateful to the President for accepting our invitation and for his forthcoming address at tomorrow’s Forum plenary session, which this year is dedicated to the theme “Shared Values as the Foundation of Growth in a Multipolar World.”
Mr President visited Russia on multiple occasions, including during his tenure as the Minister of Defence of his country. Last July, we met with him in Moscow, after his election as the head of state.
I would like to emphasise that Indonesia is one of our key partners in the Asia-Pacific region. Our relations continue to develop steadily on a mutually beneficial basis, grounded in longstanding traditions of friendship and mutual assistance.
🤝 This year marks the 75th Anniversary of diplomatic relations between our nations. At that time, our country played an active role in the establishment of Indonesian statehood and the strengthening of the young Republic’s international standing. <...> Many facilities built during that period continue to operate successfully to this day, benefiting the Indonesian people.
Russia is committed to the progressive development of cooperation and relations with Indonesia across all sectors. Russia played a significant role in facilitating Indonesia’s accession to #BRICS as a full member. We welcome Indonesia’s assumption of membership rights effective January 1.
Given Indonesia’s weight and influence in contemporary global politics and economy, this step was undoubtedly the correct one and will bring substantial added value to both BRICS and all its cooperation mechanisms.
Today’s talks were substantive. We discussed a broad spectrum of current issues of bilateral cooperation, as well as key topics on the international agenda.
The declaration on strategic partnership, which we approved with Mr President following the talks, sets out ambitious and responsible objectives for deepening Russian-Indonesian relations across multiple domains, with particular emphasis on trade and economic cooperation. Several intergovernmental agreements and interagency arrangements were also concluded.
I would like to emphasise that Indonesia is one of our leading South Asian foreign trade partners.
📈 Last year, bilateral trade was up by 2.5 percent at $4.3 billion, and in the first four months of this year it grew by another 40 percent. <...>
We are also open to cooperation with our Indonesian partners in harnessing peaceful nuclear energy. This could include joint projects using nuclear technologies for non-energy purposes in medicine and agriculture, as well as training personnel for Indonesia’s national nuclear industry. We have an interest and are willing to collaborate in many high-tech sectors, such as outer space exploration, digitalisation, smart city technologies, and artificial intelligence.
We are actively cooperating in the cultural and humanitarian sphere. <...> We are working on projects in the professional training as well with over 500 Indonesian students studying in our country. <...>
🌐 We certainly also discussed pressing issues on the international agenda. We noted that our countries’ positions on most of them either coincide or are very close. Our nations uphold the principles of the rule of international law and sovereignty, and we jointly advocate peaceful and sustainable development of the Asia-Pacific region. We also coordinate joint efforts at the UN and other international platforms.
I would like to once again highly commend today’s productive work with Mr President. Undoubtedly, this visit will further strengthen the entire framework of Russian-Indonesian strategic partnership for the benefit of our peoples.

🗓 Excerpts from Russian President Vladimir Putin's remarks and Q&A at a meeting with heads of the world’s leading news agencies on the sidelines of SPIEF-2025 (June 19, 2025)
Key statements:
• It is evident that the current crisis in relations between Russia and Western Europe effectively began in 2014. However, the issue is not that Russia, as it were, incorporated Crimea, but rather that Western countries facilitated a coup d’état in Ukraine.
• Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, our Western partners have always acted from a position of strength, at the very least. Because the post-World War II international order was based on a balance of forces among the victors. But then one of the victors ceased to exist – the Soviet Union disintegrated. And that was it – the West began rewriting all these rules to suit themselves.
• We do not view NATO’s rearmament as a threat to the Russian Federation. Our security is fully self-reliant, and we are continuously enhancing both our Armed Forces and our overall defence capabilities. Whatever actions NATO takes inevitably pose certain risks, but we will effectively counter any threats that may emerge; there is no doubt about that.
• For centuries, the notion of a threat from Russia has periodically resurfaced in the West. Western elites have long found it convenient to invoke this perceived threat as a tool for shaping domestic policy. By pointing to an imagined danger from the East, they could justify extracting more funds from taxpayers and deflect blame for their own economic mistakes.
• This myth that Russia plans to attack Europe or NATO countries is an absurd fabrication that Western European societies are being told to believe. We understand how ridiculous this is. And those spreading this lie do not actually believe it themselves. Do you? Does anyone here genuinely believe that Russia is preparing to attack NATO? What nonsense.
• Everyone understands it is absurd. But people are being misled to justify inflated defence budgets – 3.5 percent, 5 percent of GDP – and to distract from failures in the economy and social sphere. Germany, for example, the leading economy in the European Union, is teetering on the edge of recession.
• So, if NATO countries choose to further increase their defence spending, that is their decision. But it won’t benefit anyone. On the contrary, it will only increase risks. <...> I believe it is irrational and pointless. There is no threat coming from Russia – none at all.

The officials emphasised the need for a depoliticised and pragmatic dialogue within this inclusive regional format.
The Russian Side noted the importance of strengthening the independent identity of the Black Sea region, given its critical role in regulating international trade, transport and energy flows. This is particularly relevant in the context President Vladimir Putin’s flagship initiative to establish a Greater Eurasian Partnership.
