Oleg Shatov, a former player of the “Zenit” football club, shared his thoughts on the team's recent performances and last season's championship win by “Krasnodar.” This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to Shatov, the fact that “Zenit” lost the championship does not indicate problems within the club. On the contrary, it shows that the rival team performed strongly. He stated that “Zenit” did not play poorly; rather, “Krasnodar” performed at a very high level last season and was able to showcase their abilities. Shatov also emphasized that it is incorrect to talk about a crisis for a team that has won the championship twice a year. He expressed confidence that “Zenit” will also become the champion this year. For reference, in the 2024/2025 season, “Krasnodar” became the Russian champion for the first time, thereby ending “Zenit”'s dominance over the past six years.

This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, the outcome of a football match is not determined solely by financial capabilities. Each club should set goals and consider its own capabilities in the fight for the championship. Tedeev emphasized that he never pays attention to another club's budget or how much their players are worth. He always relies on his team's capabilities and does not think about the prices of opposing players. In the third round, "Akron" and "Spartak" faced each other in Samara. The match ended in a 1:1 draw. Jedson Fernandes made his debut for "Spartak," but he was unable to score or provide an assist during the game. Currently, "Akron" has accumulated five points after three rounds, holding the sixth position in the RPL standings. Jedson Fernandes's transfer to "Spartak" became the most expensive transfer in the club's history. According to various sources, the Moscow club paid between 25 to 27 million euros to "Beşiktaş" for this player.

The use of renewable energy sources in Uzbekistan is continuously expanding. This was reported by Zamin.uz. In particular, electricity generation using solar panels not only serves to protect the environment but has also become a source of income for the population. According to the Ministry of Energy, from January to June 2025, 28,538 individuals supplied a total of 63 billion 498 million soums worth of solar energy to the state electricity grid. These payments were made as subsidies under the "Sunny Household" program. The highest amount of subsidies was allocated in the Khorezm region, where 19.1 billion soums were allocated. Following this, the Republic of Karakalpakstan (9.7 billion soums) and Tashkent city (4.9 billion soums) ranked next. In other regions, these figures are relatively lower. Residents can apply for the subsidy funds directly to their bank cards through the "Cashback and Benefits" section of the "Tax" mobile application for the "Sunny Household" program. Additionally, starting from April 1, 2023, a subsidy of 1,000 soums will be paid for each kilowatt-hour of energy transmitted to the state grid through solar panels installed at home. These measures aim to encourage the population to make extensive use of "green" energy. Source: Ministry of Energy.
