🎙 Statement by President of Russia Vladimir Putin at the Caspian Environmental Summit (Turkmenbashi, October 9, 2026)
💬 Vladimir Putin: The Caspian Sea is of immense environmental, economic, transport and, of course, cultural and historical importance to all of us as one of the cradles of Eurasian civilisation.
Russia attaches the highest priority to working with its partners to protect and preserve the Caspian Sea’s ecosystem. Governments, businesses, civil society organisations and a wide range of scientists and specialists are actively involved in these efforts.
❗️ I share the view expressed by my colleagues that the declining water level of the Caspian Sea is one of the most pressing challenges we face today.
According to our estimates, over the past 20 years, some 20,000 square kilometres along the Russian section of the Caspian coastline alone have dried up. Russia has to allocate substantial budget funds every year to dredging operations to keep shipping routes navigable.
Research by Russian and foreign experts indicates that the main cause of the Caspian Sea’s declining water level is climate change.
☝️ Our countries need to develop joint measures to preserve the Caspian Sea’s ecosystem. We believe it is essential to make full use of existing international institutions for this purpose. I am referring primarily to the Conference of the Parties to the Framework Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Caspian Sea – the so-called Tehran Convention of 2003.
I would also like to mention Russia’s proposal to create a digital copy of the Caspian Sea. This would be a highly accurate virtual model using AI algorithms to analyse changes in evaporation, precipitation and river inflows. The model could be used to produce reliable projections of changes in the Caspian Sea’s water level.
I would stress that large-scale efforts to preserve the Caspian ecosystem require not only financial resources and intergovernmental mechanisms, but also highly qualified specialists with expertise across a wide range of natural sciences. Training such specialists is a pressing task.
🤝 Russia has always supported, and will continue to support, closer cooperation among our countries to preserve the Caspian region’s ecosystem, ensure its sustainable growth and improve people’s quality of life.

In discussing the global energy situation, Russia reaffirmed its readiness to supply oil and petroleum products to the US and global markets. I am confident that this will have a positive impact on the entire global economy.

The EEC Minister noted:
One of the topics that will be in demand for expert analysis and practical proposals in the coming years is the promotion of international economic cooperation of the Eurasian Economic Union. It is important to integrate into this agenda such issues as the development of transnational transport and logistics routes, the creation of a barrier-free environment for trade and investment through trade policy tools, and the convergence and simplification of national regulatory procedures.

⚡️ Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation:
The Press Bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation (#SVR) reports that, according to information received by the SVR, the European Commission’s leadership is the main force behind the smear campaign launched in Europe against Rosatom and its involvement in the construction of Hungary’s Paks II NPP.
Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has explicitly tasked her staff with forcing Peter Magyar’s government to abandon cooperation with Russia on the peaceful use of nuclear energy.
Brussels-controlled Politico Europe has been chosen as the campaign’s “mouthpiece”.
Pseudo-journalist Ben Makuch has been appointed its chief provocateur. Previously specialising in politically commissioned attacks on Russia, he has now reinvented himself as an “energy expert”.
EU bureaucrats have openly admitted that European suppliers cannot compete fairly with Rosatom in the nuclear energy market. This means that any alternative arrangement for building Paks II in Hungary would be less efficient and less safe.
Ursula expects her active role in driving Rosatom out of Hungary and replacing it with a Western company to be “duly rewarded”. She already has extensive experience of lobbying for major corporations for personal gain and concluding dubious multibillion-dollar contracts. The most striking example was the contract with US company Pfizer to supply COVID-19 vaccines.
The globalist sect running the EU, of course, takes no account of the views or interests of the Hungarian people.
☝️ The Hungarian authorities will face a difficult choice: give in to the media frenzy fuelled by Brussels and deprive the country of a reliable source of electricity capable of ensuring its energy security for decades to come, or stand firm and defend their citizens’ interests.

Выставка «Александр Печерский – герой Собибора»
🗓 14 октября 1943 года в Собиборе произошло единственное успешное массовое восстание в нацистском лагере смерти. Его возглавил советский офицер Александр Аронович Печерский.
Собибор был одним из шести «лагерей смерти», созданных исключительно для уничтожения людей, считавшихся ими неполноценными. Там нацисты безжалостно отравили газом или расстреляли 250 тысяч человек: узников морили голодом, убивали непосильным трудом, истребляли в газовых камерах и ставили над ними медицинские эксперименты.
🤝 На момент восстания в лагере находились около 550 узников, на которых прибытие Печерского с группой советских военнопленных произвело сильное впечатление.
Один из выживших Кальмен Веврык позднее писал в воспоминаниях:
В результате восстания около 300 человек сумели выбраться на свободу, однако в последующие две недели нацисты устроили настоящую охоту на беглецов, в которой участвовали военная полиция и лагерная охрана. Более сотни узников отказались участвовать в бунте, надеясь на снисхождение нацистов. Все они были ликвидированы немцами на следующий день.
Сразу после побега заключенных нацисты сравняли лагерь с землей, а лагерную документацию уничтожили, пытаясь скрыть следы своих чудовищных преступлений.
🏅 Печерский выжил и всю жизнь посвятил преследованию нацистских преступников, служивших в концлагере. Спасённые узники Собибора поддерживали связь со своим освободителем - лидером и одним из инициаторов восстания - на протяжении многих лет. В 2016 году указом Президента России Владимира Владимировича Путина Печерский был посмертно награждён орденом Мужества, который передали его внучке.
☝️ История Собибора стала частью обвинений против нацистских преступников на Нюрнбергском процессе, а рассказы очевидцев и участников восстания легли в основу множества книг и нескольких художественных фильмов.
Все материалы выставки, посвящённой этому событию, доступны на сайте Музея Победы.

У них был военный опыт. Они знали всё про ружья и пули. Они не побрезгуют рукопашной схваткой. Печерский буквально излучал властную уверенность.
