20250813             GENEVA, August 12. /TASS/.
20250813             Switzerland has expanded its own sanctions lists against Russia, partially joining the 18th package of sanctions of the European Union, according to a statement on the Swiss government’s official website.
20250813             The list includes 14 individuals and 41 legal entities, as well as 105 civil vessels from third countries.
20250813             In addition, 26 companies were subject to stricter export control restrictions.
20250813             The measures come into force on August 12 at 11:00 p.m. (09:00 p.m. GMT).
20250813             In particular, personal sanctions were imposed on Russian filmmaker and head of the Mosfilm concern Karen Shakhnazarov, businesswoman Tatyana Litvinenko and a number of citizens of China, India, Iran and Azerbaijan.
20250813             As for the legal entities, the restrictions included the Moscow Mechanical Plant of Special Equipment, Polymer JSC, the Stekloplastik scientific and production center, Yakutsk Fuel and Energy Company PJSC, Ulyanovsk Machine-Tool Plant LLC, Izhevsk Mechanical Plant JSC and other enterprises.
20250813             Individual companies from China, Singapore, India, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates were also added to the Swiss sanctions list.
20250813             In addition to that Switzerland also decided to join the EU initiative to reduce the price cap for Russian oil from $60 to $47.6 per barrel.
20250813             This measure comes into force on September 3. As the press release states, Switzerland is also considering the possibility of introducing a number of sectoral restrictions in the areas of trade, finance and energy in relation to Russia, similar to the corresponding steps of the EU as part of the 18th sanctions package, but a final decision on this issue has not yet been made.

20250813             NEW YORK, August 13. /TASS/.
20250813             The meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US leader Donald Trump, scheduled for Friday, will be held at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, a combined US Air Force and Army installation in Anchorage, Alaska, CNN reported, citing White House officials.
20250813             According to the network, the US faced serious challenges in securing a venue for the summit.
20250813             The peak tourist season in Alaska left virtually no suitable public facilities available.
20250813             After considering options in Juneau, Anchorage, and Fairbanks, organizers determined that only Anchorage had the necessary infrastructure.
20250813             Sources said the White House had hoped to avoid holding the meeting on a US military facility, but Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson ultimately proved to be the only location meeting all requirements.
20250813             On August 8, Trump announced that he expected to meet with the Russian president in Alaska on August 15. Later, Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov confirmed the plan, saying the leaders would focus on discussing options for achieving a long-term peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.

20250813             Kein Antrieb nötig: Sonnenlicht lässt Flugobjekte bis in 80 Kilometer Höhe steigen
202508131717 Wissenschaft
20250813             Geräuscharm und emissionsfrei: Eine Forschergruppe hat kleine Flugobjekte entwickelt, die sich allein mithilfe von Sonnenstrahlen fortbewegen.
20250813             Im Schwarm könnten sie künftig Daten übertragen und Messungen vornehmen.
20250813             Die neu entwickelten, zentimetergroßen Geräte kommen ohne Motor aus.
20250813             Sie erhalten Auftrieb durch ein physikalisches Phänomen.
20250813             Bei der sogenannten Fotophorese setzen Wärmeunterschiede zwischen Vorder- und Rückseite eine Luftströmung in Gang.
20250813             Eine Forschergruppe um Benjamin Schafer und Jong-hyoung Kim von der amerikanischen Harvard University beschreibt die neuen Geräte und ihre Anwendungsmöglichkeiten in der Fachzeitschrift »Nature«  
www.spiegel.de/thema/harvard_university/
www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09281-8
20250813             Alle Schichten sind nur fünf bis hundert Nanometer dick.
20250813             Ein Nanometer ist ein Millionstel Millimeter.
20250813             »Das erste Mal wurde gezeigt, dass man größere fotophoretische Strukturen bauen und sie tatsächlich in der Atmosphäre fliegen lassen kann«,
20250813             Schwärme solcher fotophoretischer Flugobjekte könnten »innerhalb des nächsten Jahrzehnts hochauflösende Daten über Temperatur, Druck, chemische Zusammensetzung und Winddynamik der Mesosphäre sammeln«,
20250813             Als weiteren möglichen Einsatzzweck sehen Schafer, Kim und Kollegen die Nutzung als Telekommunikationseinrichtung, ähnlich wie die Starlink-Satelliten, aber weniger zeitverzögert.
20250813             Auch in der dünnen Marsatmosphäre könnten die Geräte eines Tages zum Einsatz kommen,
20250813             funktioniert die Fotophorese nur, wenn die Sonne scheint, also tagsüber.
20250813             Kleinere Objekte könnten aber womöglich nachts durch die Wärmestrahlung der Erde in der Mesosphäre gehalten werden,
20250813             Einer Rechnung der Forschenden zufolge könnte ein 80 Zentimeter großes Objekt eine Nutzlast von gerade einmal 0,9 Gramm tragen – unter optimalen Bedingungen am Äquator.

20250813             Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will take part in the Russia-US summit in Alaska on August 15, Foreign Ministry Deputy Spokesman Alexey Fadeyev said at a briefing.
20250813             "Yes, I can confirm Lavrov's participation in the event that is expected to take place in Alaska on Friday," he noted.
20250813             However, the diplomat suggested redirecting the question about the summit’s agenda to the Russian presidential press service.
20250813             "As we all know, relations between the two countries significantly declined, particularly under previous administrations.
20250813             We expect the meeting to allow the leaders to focus on the entire range of issues, from the Ukraine crisis to the obstacles hindering normal and meaningful dialogue, which is crucial for ensuring international peace and stability," Fadeyev stressed.
20250813             US President Donald Trump announced on August 8 that he expected to meet with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska on August 15. Kremlin Aide Yury Ushakov later confirmed plans for such talks.
20250813             According to him, the leaders will focus on options for a long-term peaceful solution to the Ukraine crisis.
20250813             The Kremlin expects that the next meeting between Putin and Trump will take place in Russia, Ushakov added.

20250813             WASHINGTON, August 13. /TASS/.
20250813             During a video conference with European leaders and Vladimir Zelensky, US President Donald Trump proposed freezing the front line in Ukraine and conducting additional territorial exchanges, Axios reported.
20250813             According to the news outlet, the US president proposed freezing the line of engagement as it is, with additional territorial swaps to be discussed by Russia and Ukraine.
20250813             However, he noted that these de facto borders would not receive international recognition.
20250813             A Politico’s source said that, during his speech, Trump told European leaders that "he's not from the region and can't make any final decisions on territory," but clarified that he believes it is necessary to carry out territorial exchanges to reach a deal and settle the crisis.
20250813             The US president emphasized that these issues should be discussed between Russia and Ukraine.
20250813             Axios sources also indicate that Trump intends to achieve a ceasefire and assess the chances of reaching a full-fledged, peaceful settlement of the conflict during his upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
20250813             The meeting between the Russian and US leaders is expected to take place on August 15 in Alaska.

20250813             The Zapad 2025 military exercise will practice planning the use of nuclear weapons and the Oreshnik missile system, Belarusian Defense Minister Viktor Khrenin announced after presenting a report to the republic’s President Alexander Lukashenko.
20250813             "This is an important element of what is predominantly strategic deterrence.
20250813             We should be ready for everything, as requested by the head of state.
20250813             We can see how things stand on our western and northern borders, and we cannot be complacent about the unfolding militarization and military activities.
20250813             We demonstrate our openness and peace-loving nature, but the gun powder should always be kept dry," BelTA news agency quoted the Belarusian defense chief as saying.
20250813             Members of the Belarusian military and their Russian counterparts will also practice planning the use of the Oreshnik missile system during the joint drills next month, he stressed.
20250813             Earlier, Lukashenko stated that "nobody wants to use nuclear weapons".
20250813             However, he warned, his country will use "all weapons it has at its disposal" in response to any attack on the republic.
20250813             The Oreshnik missile system which Russia promised to deploy in Belarus before the end of the year is capable of carrying nuclear warheads, too, he said.
20250813             Also, he added, the deployment of nukes on Belarusian soil by Russia altered the tone of communication with the United States and other Western countries.
20250813             On March 25, 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced his decision to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus at Minsk’s request, similar to what the United States had long done on the territory of its allies.
20250813             On April 25, 2024, Lukashenko confirmed that several dozen nuclear warheads had been stationed in Belarus.
20250813             Under the latest agreement on security guarantees that took effect in the Union State earlier this month, the two countries view Russian nukes as a key factor in preventing nuclear conflicts or military conflicts involving conventional arms, as well as a means of containment that can only be used as an absolute last resort.
20250813             The Russia-Belarus strategic drills dubbed Zapad 2025 will run on September 12-16 in Belarus.
20250813             The joint exercise will focus on employing groups of forces for ensuring military security of the Russia-Belarus Union State.
20250813             Among other maneuvers, Belarusian and Russian servicemen plan to practice repelling air strikes and fighting against enemy sabotage groups.

20250813             MOSCOW, August 13. /TASS/.
20250813             The authorities are restricting calls in the Telegram and WhatsApp messengers in Russia to protect citizens, the press service of the Federal Service for Supervision in the Sphere of Telecom, Information Technologies and Mass Communications, Roskomnadzor, told TASS.
20250813             No other functions of these messengers are being restricted, the watchdog added.
20250813             In turn, the Ministry of Digital Development allowed the restoration of access to call services in these messengers if their owners comply with the requirements of the Russian law.
20250813             TASS has assembled the main information about the situation.
20250813             On restrictions
20250813             - The Russian communications watchdog Roskomnadzor announced that it is partially restricting calls in Telegram and WhatsApp messengers to counter criminals.
20250813             - No other restrictions on the messengers’ functionality are being introduced.
20250813             - Access to calls in foreign messengers will be restored after they comply with the requirements of Russian legislation, the Ministry of Digital Development said.
20250813             - Limiting voice calls in foreign messengers is aimed at reducing the number of scam calls, according to Roskomnadzor.
20250813             Reasons for restrictions
20250813             - As Roskomnadzor noted, according to law enforcement agencies and numerous appeals from citizens, Telegram and WhatsApp have become the main voice services for deceiving and extorting money from Russians, and also for enlisting them in sabotage and terrorist activities.
20250813             - Russia launched its Antifraud system in 2024.
20250813             This system blocks calls with spoofed numbers in conventional telephone networks of Russian telecom operators.
20250813             As a result, almost all such calls have moved to foreign messengers, which refuse to ensure the safety of Russian users and society, the watchdog stressed.
20250813             - The share of Russians attacked by fraudsters in WhatsApp has increased 3.5 times since 2024, Anton Nemkin, a member of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technology and Communications and federal coordinator of the Digital Russia project of the United Russia party, told TASS.
20250813             - WhatsApp still refuses to localize Russians' data and generally does not comply with the requirements of Russian legislation, Nemkin stressed.

20250813             Since morning, the armed forces of Ukraine have been conducting a massive artillery shelling attack of an industrial zone and the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), Russia’s state-run nuclear corporation Rosatom said.
20250813             "Since today’s morning, the armed forces of Ukraine have been conducting a massive artillery shelling attack on the territory of the industrial zone and facilities in the immediate vicinity of the Zaporozhye NPP.
20250813             Fortunately, there was no damage or casualties," Rosatom said on Telegram.
20250813             Another attack took place a day earlier".
20250813             As a direct result of these deliberate shelling attacks, a wildfire broke out near the plant’s water control installations.
20250813             The attack set fire to dry grass, and the flame was contained mere 700 meters away from the reactor.
20250813             The blaze was put out by rescuers, who risked their lives, because the enemy drones were targeting the arriving fire squads to disrupt the firefighting effort," Rosatom said.
20250813             The state corporation added that the intensity of attacks on ZNPP and the adjacent territory has been growing in the past month, leading to civilian casualties.
20250813             "Over the past three weeks, three residents of Energodar died as a result of Ukrainian attacks - two men and an elderly woman," Rosatom added.

20250813             TUNIS, August 13. /TASS/.
20250813             Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statements about his commitment to the concept of "Greater Israel" confirm the danger that the country poses to all countries in the region and require a clear position from Arab states, the radical Palestinian movement Hamas stated.
20250813             "These statements clearly confirm the danger" that Israel "poses to all countries and peoples in the region," the group said in a statement on its Telegram channel".
20250813             These fascist statements require Arab countries to take a clear position, first and foremost by taking serious measures to support our people in Palestine and the Gaza Strip," the statement said.
20250813             Hamas also called on the international community to condemn the Israeli prime minister's statements and take measures to "end his brutal war" in the Palestinian enclave.
20250813             The day before, Netanyahu said in an interview with the I24 TV channel that he was fulfilling a "historic and spiritual mission" and agreed that he felt its connection to the concept of "Greater Israel".
20250813             The term "Greater Israel" emerged after the Six-Day War of 1967 to refer to Israel and the territories it had just occupied: East Jerusalem, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, the Sinai Peninsula, and the Golan Heights".
20250813             Greater Israel" is a term used in religious and political movements that advocate for the expansion of Israel’s territory.
