Additionally, during the inspections, individuals who did not participate in the educational process but were included in the student lists were identified. Regarding these cases, a criminal case has been opened under the article "Forgery of official documents" of the Criminal Code of Kyrgyzstan. Investigations are ongoing against professors, teaching staff, and administrative employees of educational institutions.

Starting from January 1, 2026, exams on the Russian language, Russian history, and legislation for foreign citizens and stateless persons arriving in Russia will be conducted exclusively via computer. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation issued an official statement through Rosobrnadzor regarding this. This change aims to promote automation and the introduction of modern technologies in the field of higher education. The exam process will be fully automated using the "EkzaM" program developed by the Russian Federal Testing Center. The program covers all stages from participant registration to result calculation. The "EkzaM" program allows exam takers to be video recorded, take the exam, have their results evaluated, and receive certificates. Certificates for those who pass the exam successfully will be issued on the same day. This program can operate on any computer and helps systematically monitor exam sessions. This not only creates convenience for students but also enables quick solutions to problems arising in migrants' learning of the Russian language.

On August 24, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced Denmark's position on recognizing Palestine during protests held in Copenhagen. This was reported by Zamin.uz. She emphasized that if Palestine becomes a democratic state, Denmark is ready to officially recognize it as a state. According to Frederiksen, Denmark is not against recognizing Palestine as a state, but it is necessary to ensure that this state operates based on democratic principles. At the protests held in Copenhagen, over 10,000 people called for an end to the war in the Gaza Strip. These demonstrations were an important event aimed not only at enhancing Palestine's international reputation but also at drawing attention to peace and democratic processes. Other countries are also actively working on recognizing the state of Palestine. G7 countries such as France, the United Kingdom, and Canada have announced their recognition of Palestine as a state. This issue will be discussed at the UN General Assembly in September. So far, 147 countries, including Uzbekistan, have recognized Palestine as a state. However, in 2024, the United States vetoed Palestine's full membership in the UN. In recent years, countries such as Ireland, Norway, Spain, and Armenia have also recognized Palestine as an official state. Cooperation and balance among states based on democracy, peace, and human rights are of great importance to strengthen Palestine's position on the international stage. Thus, the international community strives to support Palestine's development as an independent and democratic state.

Said Muhammad Sadr, a member of Iran's Council for Determining the Expediency of the State, provided information about the strategic cooperation between Russia and Iran as well as the intelligence data Moscow has provided to Israel. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to him, the alliance established with Russia does not fully align with strategic interests, and some of Russia's actions have created a complex situation. Sadr stated that Moscow has not directly intervened in Iran's attacks against Israel, but Russia has supplied Israel with strategic information regarding Iran's air strikes. This situation indicates that the alliance between the countries is not fully harmonious. He also drew attention to relations with Moscow and other countries. For example, Turkey's membership in NATO and its purchase of the S-400 missile defense system from Russia clearly demonstrate Russia's policy against NATO. Sadr emphasized the importance of maintaining relations between Russia and Iran but noted the need for caution in trusting Moscow. Alliances and political relations on the international stage, along with complex issues related to other countries and their policies, define the changing and complex nature of international relations. Thus, strategic cooperation between countries always requires caution and analysis.

In response to a warning issued by India, Pakistan evacuated more than 150,000 people due to the risk of rising river levels caused by monsoon rains. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The evacuation was mainly carried out in the Punjab province, as this area has a high population density. According to Reuters agency, this marks the first bilateral communication following border issues between Pakistan and India. Additionally, there are some disputes and representation issues in the political relations between the two countries. Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized India's flood risk warning and emphasized that it was not issued through diplomatic channels. According to Ministry spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan, this information was conveyed through unofficial channels rather than the India-related Water Resources Commission, which may violate international agreements. This situation serves to further clarify water resource-related problems between Pakistan and India. This incident increases the necessity to strengthen agreements on water distribution and management between the two countries. Pakistan and India need to enhance cooperation on water issues to ensure regional stability and security.

In recent years, the summer period in the USA has been very hot. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Heat waves pose a serious threat to people's health. Doctors receive cases related to heat strokes every summer, especially among children and the elderly. Air conditioning has become an essential tool for saving lives. However, millions of Americans cannot use air conditioning. In 2020, approximately 34 million households were unable to pay for electricity. Many had to reduce expenses on food and medicine to pay their electricity bills. Low-income families are particularly in a difficult situation. They spend more than ten percent of their income on energy, which is significantly higher than the average. For this reason, many are forced to turn on air conditioning only when absolutely necessary. The “Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program” (Liheap), established by the US Congress in 1981, allocated $4.1 billion annually to assist millions of low-income families. However, in 2025, the staff of this program was reduced, and the administration announced plans to terminate it completely. Experts emphasize that such a decision poses a serious threat to the lives of hundreds of thousands of families. Due to climate change, heat waves are expected to intensify further. Therefore, access to energy is becoming increasingly important for people's lives.

The Deveron River, located in the Aberdeenshire region of Scotland, has fallen to its lowest level in the last fifty years. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Experts have assessed this situation as a serious threat and have imposed restrictions on water usage. From now on, agricultural and industrial enterprises will be required to reduce their water intake from nature. This decision was made to protect the river, the environment, and the life dependent on it. According to specialists, this situation is a result of climate change. If heavy rain does not fall in the coming days, other rivers in Eastern Scotland may also remain at risk. According to official data, reservoirs in the eastern part of Scotland are at a significantly lower level than usual, at 56 percent. This could cause difficulties for the population, farmers, and the natural environment. Authorities have stated that the restrictions are temporary and will be lifted once conditions improve. For now, people are being urged to use water as sparingly as possible.

Race-detecting cameras designed to identify people's racial and ethnic affiliation have been launched in Saint Petersburg. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Igor Nikonov, Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Informatization and Communications, announced this. According to him, these cameras help identify groups located in certain areas and serve as a basis for law enforcement agencies to make appropriate decisions. Nikonov emphasized that the system is specifically aimed at identifying ethnic affiliation, allowing the police to monitor areas with migrant populations and "rubber" apartments. Currently, about 50,000 cameras have this function, but the results are not yet clear. Crime statistics will be determined by the end of the year. The system can identify six races and ethnic groups: Caucasian, East Asian, Central Asian, Europeans, Asians, and individuals belonging to the Negroid race. These cameras are considered an important tool for monitoring and analyzing ethnic relations among the city's population. It is worth noting that the installation of such cameras in Saint Petersburg began in February 2025. Oleg Kapitanov, head of the city's Interethnic Relations Committee, stated that eight thousand street cameras are planned to be equipped with the "identification of a person's ethnic affiliation" function. The introduction of this new technology is expected to play an important role in making significant decisions against the backdrop of increasing migration and the complexity of ethnic relations in recent years.

The birth rates in Scotland have fallen to a historic low. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to official data, in 2024, only 45,763 babies were born in the country. This figure is the lowest recorded since 1855. Thus, the birth rate has significantly decreased. Experts believe that this decline is related to long-term demographic changes. For the population to naturally replenish itself, each woman needs to have an average of 2.1 children. However, in Scotland, this figure is only 1.25. This leads to a decrease in the population size. The report also notes that infant mortality and stillbirth rates are at historic lows. Additionally, it was reported that in 2023, more than 16,000 people died in Scotland than were born. Population growth is observed only due to migration. Changes in birth rates are also clearly seen in maternal age. While in the 1960s most women gave birth around the age of 20, today the highest number of births occur between the ages of 30 and 34. Last year, over 35 percent of births were to women in this age group. Experts emphasize that this trend is also observed globally. According to UN data, birth rates are declining in many countries around the world. The main reasons cited are rising living costs and difficulties in family life. Thus, there are warnings that the decline in birth rates may lead to social and economic problems.

Starting from September 1, 2025, the procedure for registering the addresses of foreign citizens in Moscow and its surrounding areas will be updated. This was reported by Zamin.uz. From now on, this process will be carried out using mobile technologies. An experimental mobile application called “Amina” will be introduced. Through this app, the addresses of citizens from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Moldova, and Ukraine will be automatically monitored. According to the new format, migrants living in Moscow are required to register their addresses using the “Amina” app. The app allows users to report their location either via geolocation or by entering address information. If the data is not updated for several days, migrants will be required to confirm or update their address. One of the main functions of the app is to directly receive the user's geolocation. If the information is inaccurate or not updated for a long time, the app sends a notification. After that, confirming or re-entering the address becomes mandatory; otherwise, the user may be deregistered. Migrants need to log into the “Amina” app using their passport details to update their address information and complete authorization. If documents are lost, authorization is also possible using other information. Additionally, the app will provide access to other services such as patent payment and appointments with migration services. In the future, many new services are planned to be introduced through the “Amina” app. Overall, the “Amina” mobile app creates convenience for migrants through modern technologies and allows them to update their addresses quickly and easily. This new system will serve to make migration control more effective.

East Anglia is experiencing one of the driest seasons in recent years. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to Anglian Water company data, only 165 millimeters of rain fell from February to July. This is the third lowest rainfall since 1899. Experts emphasize that the problem of water scarcity is worsening. The company advises residents to use water sparingly. So far, there are no restrictions on using water for garden irrigation in East Anglia. However, experts have stated that considering the water shortage, such restrictions need to be introduced. According to specialists, only prolonged rainfall can help nature recover. Due to climate change, water reserves are gradually decreasing and remain at risk. In the first twenty days of August, only 10 millimeters of rain fell in East Anglia. Under normal conditions, an average of 60 millimeters of rainfall would be expected during this period. Meteorologists reported that only 53 percent of the expected rain fell during this part of the summer. Anglian Water company recommends residents temporarily stop washing cars and be cautious when watering yards and gardens. The company stresses that wise use of water is important for the future and reminds that it is necessary to leave as much water as possible in nature.

Tajikistan President Emomali Rahmon organized grand events on the eve of Independence Day. This was reported by Zamin.uz. On August 25, at the official ceremony held at the “Millat” Palace in Dushanbe, the head of state awarded nearly 200 individuals who contributed to the country's development with high state honors. These awards were given for achievements in science, medicine, education, culture, and the arts, as well as for dedicated work in entrepreneurship.

Her experience greatly contributes to political stability and the implementation of reforms in Tajikistan. President Emomali Rahmon's values hold significant importance on the path to independence and development in the country.

A very severe and legally unacceptable incident occurred in Greater Noida city, Uttar Pradesh state of India. This was reported by Zamin.uz. A 28-year-old woman named Nikki Payla was burned alive by her husband. This tragedy took place on August 21, and her 6-year-old son, who witnessed the event, was also present. The main reason cited is the husband's constant demand for expensive gifts. Nikki Payla and her family had been subjected to violence since 2016. According to family members, Payla and her sister Bhati had been given various expensive gifts by the family, including a "Scorpio" car, a Royal Enfield motorcycle, and gold jewelry. Unfortunately, thousands of women in India face violence from their husbands and their families every year, many of whom lose their lives. Many cases do not even reach official authorities. During the court investigation, the husband Vipin Bhati did not admit guilt and claimed to be innocent. The police accused his mother of physical and mental abuse against Nikki and arrested her. During the investigation, Vipin's father Satya Vir and brother Rohit Bhati were also detained. According to police information, the woman was set on fire with a highly flammable substance. She was admitted to Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi with severe burn injuries but died after prolonged treatment. The deceased's sister Kanchan shared details of the incident on social media and assisted the investigation. Police officer Dharmendra Shukla stated that the sister filed a complaint and a case was opened to hold the husband and his family criminally responsible. This tragedy is significant not only locally but also for society as a whole. Society calls on the youth to respect moral values, stand against violence, and emphasizes the need to enhance social support and culture to prevent such incidents.

On August 26, 2025, the Russian army launched heavy attacks on the city of Dobropole in Donetsk region and the surrounding areas. This was reported by Zamin.uz. As a result of artillery and aviation strikes, 148 workers in the mine were trapped underground because the power supply was cut off, preventing them from exiting. According to the RBK-Ukraine news agency, the attacks caused serious problems with the mines' electricity supply. Consequently, workers operating in the coal mines became trapped underground. According to local residents and sources on social media, attacks also occurred in the cities of Dobropole, Belozerskoye, Annovka, Iverskoye, and Svyatogorovka. In particular, there are reports that at least four aerial bombs were dropped on the city of Dobropole. Rescue workers are currently taking emergency measures to prevent miners from being left underground. Working against time, efforts continue to reduce the number of casualties. Despite the difficult external conditions, rescuers continue to carry out their duties.

Special cameras capable of identifying people's ethnic origin have been launched in Saint Petersburg, Russia. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to Igor Nikonov, Deputy Chairman of the Information Committee, this technology identifies people's national affiliation and helps monitor their gatherings in various parts of the city. This new system provides law enforcement agencies with additional opportunities to maintain public order. Igor Nikonov emphasized that the system can identify six different ethnic groups, and appropriate measures will be taken based on the analysis of their gatherings. Oleg Kapitanov, head of the Interethnic Relations Committee, described this system as a statistical analysis tool and evaluated it as effective in ensuring security at various events. By 2025, it is planned to equip 8,000 cameras in Saint Petersburg with the ethnic identification function. Additionally, a new project is being considered that will allow comparison of foreign citizens' personal data, photographs, and residence permits. It has been reported that more than 700 crimes have been solved in the city with the help of this system. The technology is expected to play an important role in maintaining public order and preventing crimes. However, debates continue regarding its impact on individuals' privacy and how it will affect interethnic relations. Time will be needed to observe how the new system influences the integration process in society.

According to Guo Jiakun, spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, China has expressed serious dissatisfaction with Japan and issued an official statement. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This situation arose as the military parade planned to be held in Beijing in September 2025 approached. Japan, in turn, called on the international community not to participate in this event. As Guo Jiakun emphasized during the briefing, China expressed its dissatisfaction with Japan's call and demanded an explanation. He stated that any country that respects history, has learned lessons, and has chosen the path of peace and development would not accept such an approach. This event is a reminder for China of its historical victory. On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the victory over Japan in World War II in 1945, China plans to hold a large military parade in Beijing on September 3. According to sources, on August 24, the Japanese government called on European and Asian countries not to participate in the parade in Beijing. Japan explained this decision by China's excessive emphasis on history and the display of a negative attitude towards Japan. Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as leaders from Southeast Asian countries including Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar, are expected to participate in the Chinese parade. At the same time, European Union leaders, especially considering Vladimir Putin's participation, decided to boycott the event. This situation poses a risk of further increasing tensions in political relations between China and Japan. It may lead to a deterioration of ties between the two countries.

Chinese scientists have successfully transplanted genetically modified pig lungs into a patient in clinical death for the first time in the world. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This research is significant as it opens new opportunities in the field of xenotransplantation. The patient was a 39-year-old man who had entered clinical death due to a stroke. According to the research results, the transplanted lung was not immediately rejected by the human immune system. With the help of new technology, the adaptation of pig lungs to the human body and the reduction of rejection issues were observed. This is an important step in overcoming the immune rejection response, which is one of the biggest obstacles in the xenotransplantation process. Since the lungs are constantly exposed to air and microbes, their rejection by the immune system is common, making this success a major achievement. Genetic modifications, particularly using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, have made it possible to weaken the body's immune response against foreign tissues. This method helps reduce antibodies and inflammatory reactions, preventing harmful effects of the immune system. Thus, the compatibility of pig tissues with the human body has improved. Xenotransplantation has long been a difficult field to implement in practice because the human immune system would reject foreign organs. However, recent advancements in CRISPR/Cas9 technology have helped solve this problem. For example, in 2022, a pig heart was transplanted into a critically ill patient in the USA, although the patient died within two months. This experience encouraged scientists to search for new methods and further develop the field of xenotransplantation. These new studies are initiating major changes in medicine, as they provide the possibility to treat many fatal conditions and offer new hope to people. In the future, such methods are expected to play an important role in advancing medical technologies and extending human life.

In March 2020, Shizuo Aishima, who was accused, arrested, and died during the investigation process, was honored by the Japanese police who placed flowers on his grave and apologized to his family. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This event took place on August 25, on the eve of a special ceremony. Although the deceased's family members accepted the apology from the officials, his wife emphasized that she could not forgive such an act. Shizuo Aishima and his three colleagues were accused in 2019 of illegally exporting dryers from Japan to foreign markets that could be used for military purposes. The deceased's company denied these charges, stating that they complied with export restrictions. In July 2021, the Japanese prosecution dropped the charges. Shizuo Aishima died during the investigation due to stomach cancer. He applied for bail eight times, but all were rejected. In September 2021, the court found the charges unlawful and ordered the state to pay 166 million yen in compensation. The verdict was not appealed and came into effect in June 2024. Prosecutor Hiroshi Ichikawa emphasized that this case brought new changes to Japan's law enforcement system and judicial proceedings. The outcome of the Aishima case holds not only legal but also social and moral significance, paving the way for fair decisions in the judicial system in the future. This event and the apology given are expected to serve as a basis for reforms in the country.

During his visit to Kyiv, Germany's Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil discussed the planned financial aid and support to be provided to Ukraine. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Germany is ready to allocate at least 9 billion euros. These funds will be spent on strengthening Ukraine's air defense and supplying new military weapons. On August 25, during a meeting between the Ukrainian president and the German vice-chancellor, the issue of enhancing defense against the large-scale aggression initiated by Russia was discussed. Ukraine expects to receive new military equipment from Germany, including Patriot and IRIS-T surface-to-air missile systems. Zelensky emphasized that Germany's financial assistance will play a crucial role in strengthening Ukraine's air defense against attacks. Additionally, matters concerning the PURL program for purchasing US weapons and acquiring two Patriot systems were also considered. Germany's aid serves to strengthen Ukraine's security. During the meeting, agreements were reached to intensify sanctions against Russia and to provide security guarantees to Ukraine. Germany plays a leading role in developing and implementing these guarantees. These intergovernmental agreements are of strategic importance for Ukraine and help increase public confidence. Germany's assistance will be a key factor in further strengthening Ukraine's defense.

A 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, Irina Zarutska, was stabbed to death on a train in North Carolina. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The police arrested 34-year-old Decarlos Brown, who attacked the woman, and charged him with murder. The incident was recorded on video and widely shared on social media, causing significant public outrage. The city mayor called the incident a failure of the judicial system and promised measures to enhance safety on public transport.

She was interested in art, loved animals, and lived happily with her family. The incident also sparked political debates. Some criticized that Brown, despite having been previously convicted of serious crimes, had been released. The state leader called for more effective measures against crime. This event once again prompted discussions in society about safety and justice issues.

A new direction has emerged in trade between Russia and the United States. This was reported by Zamin.uz. In July 2025, Russia exported chicken eggs to the USA for the first time. This was reported by “RIA Novosti” based on data from the American statistical service. According to the data, in July, the United States purchased eggs worth a total of 455 thousand dollars from Russia. During that month, the USA imported eggs worth a total of 16.5 million dollars, with Russia entering the list as a new supplier. Among the egg supplying countries, Brazil leads with products worth 8.8 million dollars. Mexico exported eggs worth 3.9 million dollars, and India exported eggs worth 933 thousand dollars. Additionally, in July, the USA imported eggs worth 518 thousand dollars from Saudi Arabia for the first time. Officials noted that the recent widespread avian influenza in the USA has caused a shortage of eggs in the local market. As a result, egg prices have doubled compared to last year. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, if tests from birds infected with avian influenza come back positive, they are culled en masse. This measure is applied to prevent the spread of the disease. Analysts believe that Russia’s export of eggs to the USA may create new market opportunities for the country. At the same time, it indicates an expansion of trade relations between the two countries. It once again demonstrated the importance of daily consumer products like eggs in the global market. This also emphasizes how crucial food security is.

French traveler Sofian Sehili, who traveled by bicycle from Portugal to Vladivostok, was detained in Russia. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the French publication Le Monde, citing its sources, he was attempting to break the world record for the fastest crossing of Eurasia by bicycle but is accused of crossing the border illegally. 44-year-old Sofian Sehili is a documentary filmmaker. He has focused his career on cycling since 2012 and has participated in nearly twenty grueling races during this time. He has won eleven of them. Among these, he also took part in the Tour Divide race, which spans 4,500 kilometers from Canada to Mexico. This year, Sehili announced his goal on social media. He planned to break the record for the fastest crossing of Eurasia, set in 2017 by German cyclist Jonas Deichmann. The journey began on July 1, 2025, from Cabo da Roca in Portugal and reached Vladivostok in 64 days, two hours, and twenty-six minutes. However, his route encountered various difficulties. At the end of July, Sehili entered Chechnya through Georgia and crossed the Russian border. Later, he left Russia via the Astrakhan region, passing through Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Mongolia. His next destination was China, where he temporarily halted his journey. According to the traveler, he was stopped by Russian customs officers at the China-Russia border. He announced this on September 2 in an Instagram story. However, there is no clear information about his subsequent fate. According to Le Monde, Sehili is deeply regretful that he could not complete his journey's final stage. He wrote that facing failure near the finish line breaks the heart. He has now been given ten months to consider either making another attempt to break the record or stopping. At the same time, he emphasized that this attempt could also end in lifelong failure.

A person died as a result of a large shark attack in Sydney. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The victim was attacked by a shark while swimming with friends at Long Reef beach. Rescuers brought him to shore, but they were unable to save his life. It is known that the victim had been in the water for only half an hour, and the attack occurred about 100 meters from the shore. Several popular beaches in the Northern Beaches area were temporarily closed following the incident. Experts have stated that these beaches may remain closed for 24 to 72 hours. The police are conducting an investigation to determine the exact species of shark involved in the attack. The last fatal shark attack in Sydney was recorded in 2022. On average, about 20 such incidents occur annually in Australia. This event once again reminded the country of the danger posed by sharks. People need to exercise increased caution along the coast. Rescue services are also strengthening safety measures at the beaches.

The Finnish government has initiated a deportation process for Russians who arrived in the country after Russia's war against Ukraine began. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the Finnish police, from January to September 2025, 104 Russian citizens whose political asylum applications were rejected have been expelled from the country. This was reported by the publication "Vot Tak" on September 5. Official data indicates that the number of deportations has increased significantly this year. The main reason for this is the prolonged delay in processing asylum applications. Over the past two years, interviews with applicants were not conducted, with only some cases undergoing investigations. Activists have appealed to the Finnish ombudsman and filed complaints. Only at the end of 2024 did the interview process begin, says Maksim Aliyev, an activist of the "Kemi Against War" movement. According to him, about 90 percent of Russian applicants received rejection letters after the initial interviews. Many have appealed to the Supreme Court of Finland and expressed their readiness to reapply for asylum. The majority of rejections relate to citizens avoiding conscription. According to the Finnish Migration Service, in May 2023, at least 1,109 Russians sought asylum to avoid military conscription. However, officials rejected their applications and stated that mobilization in Russia had ended. Documents cited statements from then Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu and President Vladimir Putin as justification. However, critics emphasize that there is no official decree to halt mobilization. Thus, the fate of Russian refugees in Finland remains uncertain. Authorities say that many applications will continue to be reviewed in the coming months, and the number of rejections may increase.

An unusual incident occurred in Russia. This was reported by Zamin.uz. French tourist and cyclist Sofian Sexili was detained in Vladivostok on charges of illegal border crossing. This was reported by the prestigious French publication “Le Monde”. According to information, the athlete aimed to travel by bicycle across Eurasia and set a world record. His route started from Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, with Vladivostok as the destination. However, the travel plan encountered an unexpected problem. On September 2, customs officers at the China-Russia border stopped him and accused him of violating the law. Sexili attempted to enter Russian territory twice. Each time he tried to cross at different points located about 200 kilometers from the border. But both attempts ended unsuccessfully. Sofian Sexili was born in 1981. He previously worked on filming documentaries, then stopped directing to focus on sports. At the age of 44, he began undertaking long bicycle journeys to challenge himself. So far, he has participated in about 20 major competitions, winning 11 of them. Experts believe that Sexili’s journey was aimed not only at setting a personal record but also at developing sports tourism in Eurasia. However, the incident in Russia became a major obstacle to his plans. Currently, an official investigation is underway regarding the French athlete. His fate and the outcome of his future trips remain unknown for now.

On September 5, a major road traffic accident occurred in the Zayinsk district of Tatarstan. This was reported by Zamin.uz. As a result of this incident, three citizens of Uzbekistan died. According to the Tatarstan prosecutor's office, the accident took place at the 38th kilometer of the Naberezhnye Chelny–Olmetyevsk road.
