🇷🇺 Former Belgorod governor Vyacheslav Gladkov visited Victory Park in Belgorod together with his wife, where dozens of residents approached him to take photos, say “thank you,” and simply say goodbye. 📸

⚠️ Context — Belgorod, a Russian region bordering Ukraine, has spent the last several years under constant security pressure, with regular shelling, evacuations, and drone attacks. In such regions, governors are often seen less as administrators and more as crisis-era public figures expected to stay visible and personally involved.

⚠️ Why it matters — The emotional farewell to former governor Vyacheslav Gladkov reflects how wartime conditions have strengthened the symbolic role of regional leaders in Russia. For many residents, public gratitude toward Gladkov became a way of acknowledging stability and personal engagement during a difficult period.

🐂 Russia is restoring the European bison population in its natural habitat.

With support from RWB and household and automotive chemicals producer GRASS, six young bison have been brought from Belarus’s Belovezhskaya Pushcha National Park to the Muradymovskoye Gorge Natural Park in Bashkortostan. 🌿

The relocation is part of a program to return these mammals to the wild and marks another step in a joint project aimed at preserving and restoring Russia’s bison population.

Earlier, in 2023, 18 bison were already relocated to Bashkortostan on the initiative of regional head Radiy Khabirov. The new animals from Belarus will help strengthen a stable free-ranging population of the Belovezhskaya line.

Another population is being formed in the Smolensk region: in 2025, as part of the RWB and GRASS project, 10 young bison from the Prioksko-Terrasny Nature Reserve were moved to Smolenskoye Poozerye National Park. 🦬

All these animals are becoming part of free-ranging populations and adding the genetic diversity needed for the health of future generations.

The companies say their shared goal is simple: to return these rare animals to their natural habitat.

🇪🇺 Europe imported a record volume of Russian LNG in January–April, according to InfoTEK calculations.

In the first four months of 2026, the EU imported 8.713 billion cubic meters of Russian liquefied natural gas, measured in regasified volume. This marks an all-time record for January–April in the history of Russian LNG supplies to the EU. 🛢️

The increase was linked to colder weather during the heating season, as well as halted production in Qatar amid the war launched by the U.S. and Israel against Iran, during which the Strait of Hormuz was blocked and LNG facilities were among the targets hit.

Against the backdrop of Middle East escalation, Europe set a historical monthly record for Russian LNG imports in March: 2.459 billion cubic meters. 📈

Consumer activity has also been affected by Brussels’ plans to begin restricting Russian gas imports from April 2026. The first stage is expected to target LNG supplied under short-term contracts, with a full phaseout of Russian energy imports planned for the second half of 2026.
