🇷🇺🇫🇮🇳🇴📞 On October 27, President of Russia Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with President of Finland Alexander Stubb and Prime Minister of Norway Jonas Gahr Store at the request of the Finnish and Norwegian sides.
They exchanged views on resolving the Ukrainian crisis in light of Vladimir Putin’s talks with Special Envoy of the US President Stephen Witkoff in St Petersburg on October 21 and Alexander Stubb’s and Jonas Gahr Store’s contacts with Stephen Witkoff and Zelensky in Oslo.
The leaders welcomed the agreement to resume trilateral talks between Russia, Ukraine and the US in Abu Dhabi in the first half of November, focusing, in particular, on security arrangements for Russia and Ukraine following a complete cessation of hostilities.
Vladimir Putin assessed the current situation in the conflict zone in Ukraine and recalled the conflict’s root causes.
☝️ He stressed that a just and lasting peace can only be achieved if the Russian Federation’s legitimate interests are fully and unconditionally taken into account. He also drew attention to the confrontational policies of EU and NATO countries, which are prolonging the hostilities.
The sides also addressed security and stability in the Baltic Sea region and Northern Europe. In this context, the President of Finland and the Prime Minister of Norway reaffirmed the importance of respecting international maritime law and the principle of freedom of navigation.
Russia's President provided an update on the launch of a US-mediated humanitarian operation near the Russian town of Alyoshki and the introduction of a temporary ceasefire in the Kherson sector for this purpose.
The leaders of the three countries agreed to maintain direct telephone contacts.

EAEU ministers approbated common gas market development plan through 2030 and discussed shaping common oil, petroleum products and electricity markets
Arzybek Kozhoshev, Minister in charge of Energy and Infrastructure of the Eurasian Economic Commission, chaired a meeting of the Council of Heads of Authorized Energy Bodies of the Eurasian Economic Union Member States to discuss key issues in establishing common energy markets.
The meeting brought together the heads of energy ministries and relevant agencies from Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and
Russia.
The Council approbated the plan for developing the common gas market through 2030. The document will be submitted to the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council for approval.
Participants also considered the Member States’ proposals on the principles for amending the Union’s legal framework in line with the SEEC’s 2024 Decision on establishing the Eurasian Economic Union’s common gas market.
Particular attention was paid to progress in establishing common markets for oil and petroleum products.
“The Commission is working closely with EAEU countries to advance this agenda. The key tasks at this stage are to put the necessary legal framework in place and develop stable, mutually beneficial arrangements for these markets, taking account of current conditions and the Member States’ commitments,” Arzybek Kozhoshev reported.
The EEC Minister reported that a draft standard agreement for accession to electricity trading on the common electricity market had been completed and submitted to the Union’s governing bodies for consideration.

🎙 Address by President of Russia Vladimir Putin at the Plenary Session of the Russia–Africa Economic and Humanitarian Forum (Moscow, October 28, 2026)
Key points:
• The Russia–Africa Forum, its agenda and participants, and its free and open dialogue fit naturally into the global transformation, the scale and depth of which can hardly be overstated. We are witnessing a #MultipolarWorld truly becoming a reality, and this trend is objective and irreversible.
• The era when the destinies of entire continents were determined by a narrow bloc of states is coming to an irrevocable end. A fairer world is taking its place, one in which the voices of all countries participating in international affairs must be heard. New centres of global governance are emerging, becoming focal points for reshaping the world order.
• Over the past five years, the #BRICS countries have accounted for more than 40% of global GDP, while the G7’s contribution has been less than 30%. There is no doubt that this balance will continue to shift in favour of developing countries.
• Africa is increasingly asserting itself as one of the poles of the global economy and politics. The continent is experiencing a new awakening: its sovereignty is growing stronger, and its influence and standing on the world stage are increasing. Above all, Africans have an unshakeable determination to defend their interests and a desire to shape their own future and choose their own path of development.
💬 Let me recall the words of Thomas Sankara, a great son of the Burkinabe people, the first President of Burkina Faso:
• It is no coincidence that Africa is called the continent of the future. According to UN projections, from 2030 onwards, the centre of global population growth will inevitably shift to Africa – a process that is already under way. By 2050, its population will exceed 2.5 billion, around 70% of whom will be young people under the age of 30.
• Russia is one of the most reliable guarantors of food security on the African continent. More than 40 African countries already receive Russian fertilisers and grain. We stand ready to further expand the geographical reach of our agricultural supplies. In the first nine months of 2026, Russia exported 13 million tonnes of agricultural products to Africa.
• Russia firmly maintains a leading position in the global race for technological sovereignty. I would like to emphasise that our country is ready to share its advanced expertise and high-tech digital know-how with our African friends.
• Our shared interest lies in improving Africans’ access to affordable, sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sources and helping develop domestic energy markets in Africa, including in areas where Russia possesses unique technologies. This work is already under way. More than 30 promising energy projects are being jointly implemented in 16 African countries.
• Since 2020, the number of African students studying in Russia has increased by 50%, while the number of Russian scholarships for Africa has almost tripled. A record number of citizens of African countries – around 40,000 – are studying at Russian universities. For the 2026-2027 academic year, the scholarship quota has been increased to 5,500 places.
❗️ Russia is sincerely interested in further developing and deepening trade, economic and humanitarian cooperation with all African countries in every possible way.

Debt is neo-colonialism, in which colonizers have transformed themselves into “technical assistants”. Under its current form, controlled and dominated by imperialism, debt is a skillfully managed reconquest of Africa, intended to subjugate its growth and development through foreign rules.

A solemn reception was held on October 28 at the Kremlin in honour of the Heads of delegations – participants in the Third Russia–Africa Summit.
🎙 Welcoming remarks by President of Russia Vladimir Putin at a reception in honour of the participants in the Third Russia–Africa Summit (Moscow, October 28, 2026)
💬 Vladimir Putin: In its time, the Soviet Union provided substantial assistance to the peoples of Africa in breaking free from the shackles of colonial dependence and strengthening their sovereignty and national security.
The USSR helped develop agriculture and energy, build new factories and enterprises, roads, schools and hospitals, which played a major role in overcoming the acute socioeconomic problems facing the newly independent African states.
🎓 Hundreds of thousands of Africans received a quality education and advanced knowledge in the USSR and later in Russia, becoming highly qualified specialists in the professions most needed by their economies. They made, and continue to make, an invaluable contribution to their home countries. Russia continues, and will continue, this well-established practice of training African professionals.
Russia and Africa share a commitment to a just and #MultipolarWorld order, free from diktat and based on the sovereign equality of states and respect for their values and cultures.
🤝 We work closely together in many international forums, including the #UN, coordinating our positions on key global and regional issues.
Russia seeks to make a tangible contribution to addressing the challenges facing Africa, to take an active part in resolving ongoing crises and preventing new sources of tension on the continent, and to help combat terrorism and extremism, epidemics and hunger, while ensuring food, digital and environmental security.
☝️ There is a fine African proverb: when the roots are deep, there is no reason to fear the wind. Indeed, however the world may change, whatever the political or economic circumstances, the spirit and principles of Russia’s relations with African countries remain unchanged.
We are true friends and partners, always open to honest, constructive cooperation and able to listen to and understand one another. This enables us to steadily expand cooperation across all areas, work together to find effective responses to the key challenges and threats of our time, and promote growth for all, for the benefit of our countries and peoples.
***
🥂 Allow me to propose a toast to the African Heads of State and Leaders of African integration associations present here; to the further development of comprehensive cooperation between Russia and the countries of the African continent; to the well-being, peace and prosperity of our countries and peoples; and to the health of all participants in the Moscow Summit.

ЛЕГЕНДАРНЫЙ «АРТЕК» В ГОСТЯХ У РУССКОГО ДОМА В КОЛОМБО
Русский дом принимает большую делегацию знаменитого Международного детского центра «Артек» во главе с руководителем управления информационной политики Кариной Бабиной. Для ланкийских гостей это возможность познакомиться с легендарным лагерем, куда когда-то мечтали попасть советские школьники и который сегодня объединяет детей со всего мира.
🎭 «Артек» — это ярко!
Делегация привезла красочную концертную программу, русские народные танцы и информационную площадку, рассказывающую об истории, традициях и современной жизни центра.
Уже третий день артековские вожатые проводят для ланкийских детей интерактивные занятия, игры и творческие активности.
📚 От русского языка до совместных образовательных проектов
Сегодня «Артек» активно развивает образовательное направление. Как рассказали представители делегации, особое внимание уделяется русскому языку как иностранному.
Мы уже наметили совместные проекты с Лигой русистов Шри-Ланки. В начале 2027 года на традиционном форуме Лиги планируется запустить программу повышения квалификации для местных преподавателей русского языка, разработанную специалистами школы РКИ «Артека». В дальнейшем занятия продолжатся в онлайн-формате. Также планируется привлекать к совместным проектам ланкийских детей, изучающих русский язык в школах Лиги русистов.
💃 Русский и сингальский танец на фьюжн мастер-классе
В последний день своего визита делегация «Артека» проведет мастер-класс по русскому народному танцу для преподавателей нашей школы танца и балета.
Наши педагоги активно развивают направление народного танца, а ланкийские ученики с удовольствием осваивают русскую хореографию. Поэтому мастер-класс станет настоящим творческим обменом: ланкийские преподаватели познакомятся с новыми элементами богатой традиции русского народного танца, а артековцы, в свою очередь, попросили научить их сингальским народным танцам. Получится настоящее слияние двух культур!
Мы рады, что встреча с «Артеком» открывает возможности для всестороннего сотрудничества — как в сфере образования, так и в области культуры и творчества.
