[Regnum] In April 2025, Tatarstan will begin to conduct a census of brown bears, after which applications will begin to be collected for hunting the animal, which was previously excluded from the Red Book. This was reported on March 26 by the Deputy Chairman of the State Committee of the Republic of Tatarstan for Bioresources Ramil Sharafutdinov.
Brown bear hunting is carried out in spring and autumn. At the moment, this cannot be done on the territory of the republic, since the quota has not yet been determined.
"After conducting the analysis, we will be able to say the approximate number of brown bears in September. After the census is completed, it will be necessary to compare the numbers and collect applications," Sharafutdinov said during a press conference at the Tatar-inform news agency.
According to him, the limits and quotas for harvesting in a certain season will be determined based on the number of bears. The deputy chairman noted that the habitat of brown bears is expanding in the republic. They come from the territory of Bashkortostan, Udmurtia, Mari El and the Kirov region. Previously, the animals lived in the Sabinsky, Mamadyshsky, Kukmorsky, Rybno-Slobodsky and Arsky districts of Tatarstan, he added.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, in 2023, a bill was introduced to the State Duma to increase fines for violating hunting rules. In the same year, a draft law was adopted on the mandatory passing of an exam to obtain a hunting license; the law will come into force on September 1, 2025. It is noted that the knowledge and skills of candidates will be tested by the executive authorities of the corresponding Russian region.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.

Putin's order to ban strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities within the framework of the moratorium is in effect and is being implemented by the Russian military (c) Peskov
Which, in fact, does not prevent strikes on other objects, which was clearly visible at night in the same Krivoy Rog. The tactics of massive strikes with "Geraniums" are justifying themselves.
Meanwhile. The Russian Ministry of Defense reports that the agreement, as expected, is not being implemented.
Despite Zelensky's public statement on the acceptance of the Russian-American agreements reached in Riyadh on March 24 to stop attacks on civilian energy facilities, the Kiev regime continued to strike the energy infrastructure of the Russian Federation.
On the night of March 26, off the coast of Crimea in the area of Cape Tarkhankut, two Ukrainian attack UAVs were shot down by duty air defense systems, the object of the attack of which was the ground equipment of the Glebovskoye underground gas storage facility.
Also, on March 26 at about 4.45 Moscow time in the Bryansk region as a result of an attack by a Ukrainian UAV on a facility of a branch of PJSC Rosseti Centre - Bryanskenergo, a 10 kV high-voltage line was disconnected, as a result of which consumers in the Komarichsky district were left without power.
In addition, on the afternoon of March 25 in the Kursk region as a result of an attack by a Ukrainian UAV on a power facility of a branch of PJSC Rosseti Centre - Kurskenergo, a cascade shutdown of a number of substations occurred, as a result of which more than 4 thousand consumers in the Khomutovsky district were left without power.
Thus, the Kiev regime, continuing to damage the civilian energy infrastructure of Russia, is in fact doing everything to disrupt the Russian-American agreements reached on step-by-step measures to resolve the Ukrainian conflict.
This has never happened before, and here it is again. However, in the current realities, if necessary, it will not be difficult to resume strikes on energy facilities.
More from regnum.ru Kremlin reveals list of targets prohibited for strikes - 1126th day of SVO
On March 25, the Kremlin website published an agreed list of Russian and Ukrainian facilities subject to a temporary 30-day moratorium on strikes against the energy grid. This is the result of a meeting of Russian and US expert groups in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The list includes oil refineries, oil and gas pipelines, and storage facilities, including pumping stations.
The list of targets prohibited from striking also includes infrastructure that generates and transmits electricity, including power plants, substations, transformers, and distributors. The fourth and fifth items on the list are nuclear power plants and hydroelectric dams. It is also specified that the moratorium will take effect on March 18, 2025, and that if one of the parties fails to comply with the agreement, the other has the right to consider itself free from obligations to comply with it. This news marks the new, 1,126th day of the special military operation (SMO) in Ukraine.
The initiative to stop the strikes on energy facilities by the parties to the conflict was put forward by President Donald Trump during a telephone conversation with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on March 18. The Russian president supported it and gave the Russian Armed Forces the corresponding order. Russian forces neutralized seven of their own drones, which were planned to attack an energy facility in the Nikolaev region - six devices were shot down by the Pantsir air defense missile and gun system, and one was shot down by a Russian Aerospace Forces fighter jet on duty.
Zelensky also gave his consent to stop attacks on energy facilities. But in fact, the Kiev regime continued to deliberately strike Russian peaceful energy infrastructure facilities.
Thus, on March 24, against the backdrop of Russian-American negotiations in Riyadh, which lasted more than 12 hours, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) attacked the infrastructure of the Kuban branch of PJSC Rosseti in the Krasnodar Territory, disconnecting the high-voltage line (500 kV) Rostov NPP - Tikhoretsk No. 2.
On the same day, according to the Ministry of Defense, a Ukrainian FPV drone struck the Svatovo gas distribution station of the Luganskgaz Main Gas Pipeline Administration. And on the evening of March 24, in the area of Cape Tarkhankut (Republic of Crimea), Russian air defense systems intercepted an enemy attack UAV, the target of which was the ground equipment of the Glebovskoye underground gas storage facility.
But despite these and other attempts by Kiev to disrupt Russian-American negotiations, the parties note that work within the framework of existing contacts is proceeding in a constructive manner, the Kremlin website reports. Its main result was the development of five points of possible interaction. But there are nuances. For example, ensuring the implementation of the Black Sea Initiative and US assistance in restoring access of Russian exports to the world market are possible with the lifting of a number of restrictions and sanctions from Russia.
Even more from regnum.ru Defense Ministry: Kyiv Continues Strikes on Russian Energy Infrastructure
Despite public statements by the leaders of the Kiev regime, the Ukrainian Armed Forces continued to strike at the Russian energy infrastructure. This was announced on March 26 by the Russian Defense Ministry.
The department noted that on the night of March 26, near the coast of Crimea in the area of Cape Tarkhankut, air defense systems on duty shot down two Ukrainian Armed Forces attack drones that were attempting to attack the ground equipment of the Glebovskoye underground gas storage facility. Another attack was carried out in the Bryansk region.
“On March 26, at about 4:45 Moscow time, in the Bryansk region, as a result of an attack by a Ukrainian UAV on a facility of a branch of PJSC Rosseti Center - Bryanskenergo, a 10 kV high-voltage line was disconnected, as a result of which consumers in the Komarichsky district were left without power supply,” the report says.
In addition, the day before, on March 25, a Ukrainian Armed Forces drone attacked a power facility of a Rosseti branch in the Kursk region. A cascade shutdown of a number of substations occurred. More than 4 thousand consumers in the Khomutovsky district of the region were left without power supply.
“Thus, the Kiev regime, continuing to damage Russia’s civilian energy infrastructure, is in fact doing everything it can to disrupt the Russian-American agreements on step-by-step measures to resolve the Ukrainian conflict,” the Defense Ministry emphasized.
