It is the most captivating site and the beauty of the mine leaves you dazzled. This is one of the most fascinating things to explore in Russia. It contains layers of carnallite, creating swirls of colors on the tunnel walls, making technicolor masterpieces throughout the rocks. The color spectrum varies from yellow, white, and reddish to blue and even completely colorless. 
• Go ice skating at Gorky Park: This activity that most young generations enjoy is Moscow’s premier green space, Gorky Park, which is meant for ice skating. It is one of the most fun activities in Russia, and many tourists watch or experience it. In winter, half of it gets converted into one of the city's biggest skating rinks, where over 4000 visitors can enjoy a lifetime skating experience. You can glide over the ice with your skates, and it is one of the milkiest smooth ices among beautiful surroundings, illuminated paths, lovely crowds, and melodic music.

Russia is the largest nation globally; thus, there are different climate zones across the country. However, the climate in Russia can be described in general as having a grim climate, and there areextremes.

Russia's winter climate ranges from mild in the west to extremely cold in Siberia. Unfortunately, it's not just cold; it's also dark during this time of year. Only one hour of sunlight per day can be expected in the winter months of December, January, and February. As a result, the country experiences a lack of rainfall in the winter months.

Over 90% of Russia's winter rainfall is less than 30 millimeters per month. Low precipitation and frigid temperatures keep most of Russia covered in a thick layer of snow.

Winters in the eastern United States are harsh, with long periods of freezing weather. Permafrost and constant snowfall characterize the country's northern regions. On the other hand, the South experiences mild to hot summers with heavy rains and bitterly cold winters covered with snow.

During summer, which starts from May to September, the climate in Russia is hot inland parts and chilly in the arctic. Generally, the climate is favorable for tourists in all parts of Russia.

When is the best time to visit Russia?

The best time to visit Russia is in the summer season, from May toSeptember. The weather is sunny in the whole country thus ideal for visiting various places. However, there are some parts where the heat is on the high end, making it not ideal for touring those parts during summer.

It is also the best time to visit Russian from March to May and fall from September to November. There are no crowds during these seasons; thus the best time to explore different places in Russia.

During winter, the weather is favorable in Russia. However, if you are okay with cold weather and snow, you can tour Russia. The temperatures can get as low as 2°F in some parts of the country.

How to get around in Russia

Trains also connect the country's less-explored regions, with new connections to far-flung locations sprouting up every year. In addition, train travel to more remote areas is much less expensive than flying, and tickets may be purchased online with ease.

Local Russian shared vans, or marshrutka, can be found in most urban areas around the country. With the help of the vans, it is easy to get to local towns and attractions.

Even though they might be congested at times, residents are pleasant, and it's a good chance to meet people and pick up a few useful Russian phrases.

Take a boat excursion or a river cruise to get a new perspective on Russia's Golden Ring cities, including St. Petersburg, Moscow, and more.

As long as the Russian government authorizes the tour operator you've chosen, cruise ship passengers visiting Russia can enter the country for 72 hours without needing a visa.

From a single ride to a 90-minute public transportation bundle to a daily pass, metros in Moscow and St. Petersburg provide a number of ticket options to suit your travel needs.

Public transport

It is necessary to understand some Cyrillic characters to use the public transportation systems in most Russian cities. Even though it's inexpensive and widely available, public transport can be packed, especially during rush hour.

Driving in Russia will necessitate familiarizing yourself with the Cyrillic alphabet; however, be sure to weigh the benefits and drawbacks of doing so.

Russians are so desperate to see Western pop stars, they are paying to go on 'concert vacations' abroad

• A Russian tour operator is offering concert-themed package vacations.
• Russian fans can pay to see pop stars like Ed Sheeran and James Blunt in Europe.
• The company has sold 150 concert vacations since last year, according to The Telegraph.

Western pop stars have largely boycotted Russia amid its invasion of Ukraine.

Russian music fans, however, appear to be so desperate to see their favorite artists that they are paying thousands to go on "concert vacations" abroad.

Tour operator Russian Express has seen large demand for its concert-themed vacation packages, according to The Telegraph. The packages include the chance to see Ed Sheeran in Zagreb , Croatia, and James Blunt in Dubai.

A spokesperson for the operator told The Telegraph that it had sold 150 concert vacations since it launched its packages in the fall of last year. The spokesperson said these kinds of vacations are "consistently popular" and that it selects artists that appear to both "young people and the older generations."

"Imagine Dragons and Snoop Dog are the choice of young people. Scorpions and Rammstein are the choice of older people," the spokesperson told The Telegraph.

One of the packages — a five-day trip to see Ed Sheeran perform in Belgrade, Serbia, in August — costs around $1,123.

Related stories

Sheeran, who last performed in Moscow in 2019, has publicly expressed his support for Ukraine and performed at the Concert for Ukraine fundraiser in 2022.

"Western superstars don't perform in Moscow anymore," Jonny Tickle, a British man living in Moscow, wrote on X. "As a result, some companies have set up travel packages including flights, accommodation, and concert tickets for Russians who want to watch their favourite singers like Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa and Adele.'"

Tickle also posted ads by Moscow-based radio station Europa Plus, which is running a competition called " Live Tour 2024 ." Prizes include packages to see Adele in Munich, Coldplay in Budapest, and Taylor Swift in Vienna.

In 2021, Coldplay's bassist Guy Berryman wrote on X that the band would "for sure" want to perform in Russia after a fan asked if there was anywhere he would like to play that he hadn't visited.

However, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Coldplay didn't include Russia dates on its tour.

In 2022, Coldplay invited Svyatoslav Vakarchuk , lead singer of the Ukrainian rock band Okean Elzy, onstage at their show in Brussels.

"We are at war. I want you to know we are fighting not only for Ukraine, we are fighting for world peace, freedom, and democracy," Vakarchuk said in a video of the concert posted to X.

Russian Express and Europa Plus did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Ukraine war latest: Ukraine 'destroys Russian Black Sea minesweeper'

Ukraine's navy says it has destroyed a Russian Black Sea fleet minesweeper. Meanwhile, an attack on a residential area in Kharkiv left six civilians injured - with Ukraine saying it is investigating the bombing as a potential war crime.

• Six killed - including pregnant woman - in strikes on Kharkiv recreation area
• Ukraine investigating 'potential war crime' after civilians wounded
• Ukrainian soldiers reveal how they were secretly moved ahead of Russian invasion
• Russia takes control of village in Kharkiv - defence ministry

We're pausing our coverage of the Ukraine war for the moment.

Scroll through the blog below to catch up on today's developments.

Russian forces likely intend to launch the second phase of their offensive following their anticipated seizure of Vovchansk, three miles from the Russian border, according to the latest analysis from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said yesterday that Russian forces advanced between five and 10 kilometres in the northern Kharkiv region before Ukrainian forces stopped Russian advances.

The ISW says Russian forces are currently prioritising the seizure of Vovchansk because it is likely one of the remaining tactical objectives of the first phase, noting it is the largest settlement immediately on the border that would provide Russian forces with a staging ground to prepare for and launch the second phase.

The Russian objectives of the second phase are not yet clear, the ISW says. It could be to expand the "buffer zone" further in width along the border, or to advance closer to Kharkiv city.

Russian forces have also recently intensified efforts to seize the operationally significant town of Chasiv Yar, the ISW says, seeking to exploit the pressure on stretched Ukrainian forces. 

The number of people killed in Russian strikes on a Kharkiv recreation area has risen from five to six, with an employee of the resort still unaccounted for. 

At least 27 people were injured in the two airstrikes, which came about 20 minutes apart, according to an update from the Kharkiv regional prosecutor's office on Telegram. 

The missing employee was fishing by a reservoir when the attack happened, the update said. 

Two police officers are among the injured, it added. 

The UK's defence secretary has confirmed the military aid that has been "rushed" to Ukraine. 

Grant Shapps said the "world cannot wait" as he urged nations to "step up" and support Kyiv's fight against Russia. 

Among the items sent by the UK are 80 defence missiles, one million rounds of ammunition and 20 Viking amphibious protected vehicles. 

Mr Shapps' tweet comes after he urged allies to give permission to Ukraine to use the weapons they have supplied against targets in Russian-annexed Crimea.

"We have been very, very clear with the world and helpful to Ukraine - for example, providing permissions for our weapons to be used throughout the whole of Ukraine ... that includes Crimea, which was taken by Putin in 2014," he told the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg: 

"Now, we do not get into how we would allow targeting with our weapons to be used outside of that. But we do provide our weapons to Ukraine in order for them to defend their country."

Pressed on Volodymyr Zelensky's calls for weapons to be available for strikes inside Russia, Mr Shapps said: "I can't go into the specifics of those private conversations about how the weapons are precisely used."

Finland will propose a law that would see it turn back migrants to Russia without processing their asylum applications - despite this potentially breaching its international human rights commitments.

Finland shut its border with Russia last year to stop a growing number of arrivals from countries including Syria and Somalia.

It accused Moscow of weaponising migration against Finland and the European Union, an assertion the Kremlin denies. 

"As this phenomenon is in Russia's hands - who comes, where from and when, to Finland's border - we cannot permit it," Prime Minister Petteri Orpo told reporters.  

"Therefore we have to augment our legislation." 

The bill would allow border authorities to turn back asylum seekers who cross from Russia, with or without using force. But it would not apply to children and disabled people.

The proposal will go to parliament next week, where it will be submitted to the constitutional committee for review. It will need five-sixths of votes cast in parliament to pass - the high bar required for constitutional matters - and success is not certain. 

The General Staff of Ukraine's armed forces have published their daily operational update... 

It says "intense" fighting is ongoing along almost the entire frontline, with 78 "combat clashes" already today, compared to 110 for the entirety of yesterday. 

The Russian forces became increasingly active on the Kharkiv front, with seven clashes reported so far today.

The situation in Kharkiv is "dynamic", it says, with Russian troops trying to push back the Ukrainian units near Vovchansk, Starytsia and Lyptsi.

Russia said on Saturday its forces had captured the village of Starytsia, bringing the total number of villages it has taken in the Kharkiv region to 13.

Russia has been pushing ahead with a ground offensive in recent days that opened a new front in northeastern Ukraine's Kharkiv region and put further pressure on Kyiv's overstretched military. 

Russian forces have also increased their activity on the Siversk front and are attempting to break through Ukrainian defences in Bilohorivka, Verkhnokamianske and Rozdolivka, the update says. 

Oleksandr Usyk defeated British boxing star Tyson Fury to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world on Saturday night.

But Fury says the outcome was down to the Ukraine war. 

He disputed his loss after the match, saying: "I believe I won that fight. I think he won a few rounds but I won the majority of them.

"His country is at war, so people are siding with the country at war. Make no mistake, I won that fight in my opinion."

In response, Ukrainian Usyk said he was "ready for rematch," but later added: "I don't think about rematch now, I want to rest."

After today's attacks President Volodymyr Zelenskyy again called on Western allies to supply Kyiv with additional air defence systems to protect Kharkiv and other cities. 

He said there were reports "every hour" of fresh attacks. 

"Missiles, bombs, artillery are the only things that allow Russia to continue its aggression," he said on Telegram. 

"The world can stop Russian terror - and to do so, the lack of political will among leaders must be overcome."

"Two Patriots for Kharkiv will make a fundamental difference," he said, referring to Patriot missile defence systems. 

Air defence systems for other cities and sufficient support for soldiers on the front line would ensure Russia's defeat, the president added. 

This morning, Defence Secretary Grant Shapps said the delay in giving aid to Ukraine gave Russia a window of opportunity for its new offensive. 

Five people have died in strikes on two villages in the Kupiansk district in Kharkiv, local officials say. 

It brings the number of people killed in the Kharkiv region today to 10, after five people died in strikes on a recreation area in a northern suburb of the city of Kharkiv.

Local governor Oleh Syniehubov said Russian forces shelled two villages with a self-propelled multiple rocket launcher. 

At least nine people were injured in the attacks. 

We're getting photos of the aftermath of strikes on a recreation area just outside Kharkiv which killed five people and left at least 16 injured. 

The pictures show a lakeside resort, where shortly before the attacks local residents were "resting, enjoying a normal way of life", according to a local police inspector (see our 11.54 post).

Parademics and police tend to the wounded, but were also caught up in the second strike, which came about 20 minutes after the first. 

These are known as "double tap" strikes, which kill or injure emergency workers at the scene of strike impacts. 

Here are the latest photos from the scene...

Dubai: From doing odd jobs as cleaner, waitress, helper to becoming a business owner in Dubai, Malou Prado’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable.

During our interview, Prado got so emotional while reminiscing about her life's story when she first set foot in Dubai in 2005, tears started running down her face. Her life has been full of challenges, she endured odd jobs, and financial hardships, fell into depression during the lowest point of her life.

Escape from poverty

At a very young age, Prado lives in poverty in the Philippines. She recalls: “Growing up in the town of Cavite in the Philippines, my parents would always tell me that education was the only ticket to escape from poverty. In an effort to surpass financial constraints, I assisted my mother in selling ‘tinapa’ (smoked fish) in the local market. With my determination and gusto to end the cycle of poverty, I was able to finish a Baccalaureate course in Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the Lyceum University Manila.”

After graduation, she became a factory worker in Taiwan, in 1999, where she met her husband, Robert Prado. After the employment contract was over, they went back to the Philippines in 2004. As she could not find a job in the country, she decided to work abroad, this time in the UAE.

Opportunity in Dubai

Prado said: “After Taiwan, I set my sights on the UAE, my dream destination for a better life. In 2005, I arrived in Dubai on a visit visa. During the first three months of my stay in Dubai, I was struggling to find a stable job. I flew to Kish island in Iran, many a times, back and forth, for visa change, extension purposes and continuously worked odd jobs, such as cleaner, helper, food server, and saleslady, among others. I remember doing part-time jobs at some events, doing catering services for wedding parties, where I carry tables and chairs, serve food to the guests and wash the dishes and earn Dh80 to 100 per day. Sometimes the organisers would just offer food, and not pay me any amount for my services.

"I was getting tired of eating ramen noodles and shawarma, because we could not afford a full meal. I also worried about paying the rent for my bed space in Dubai. My husband and I occupied the upper bunk bed, as it was cheaper than the lower deck. While struggling to survive, I was also concerned about sending money to support my family back home, but I was totally broke. It broke my heart, as I couldn’t provide anything for my three-months-old daughter in the Philippines, at that point."

Keep the faith

Prado, 46, never lost faith in the timing of life, believing that her moment of opportunity would come. She said: “I always trust that timing is everything in life. I believe that just because it was not happening right then, didn’t mean it never will. I prayed for guidance and asked the Lord for help. And it transpired. One day, my sister’s public relations officer in the company was looking for staff. Apparently, an UAE national was searching for a trusted person to run his newly opened travel agency. At first, he offered me a job as a freelance agent to arrange for travel accommodations for business visitors, selling UAE visas and tickets in 2006.

"Determined to rise above my dire financial situation, I accepted the offer to work in the company without a salary, but on a commission basis. He sent me to Emirates Aviation for training. I had done some research, attended seminars and more self-study to learn the ropes of the business. Embracing the challenge with enthusiasm, I unknowingly laid the foundation for my future success. I persevered and became a travel manager. I attracted so many clients, 90 per cent of our customers are Filipinos, and so the business was growing. As Dubai's tourism industry started to bloom, so did my entrepreneurial spirit. Taking this risk allowed me to prove myself as a true challenger and fighter, and it opened doors to new possibilities. I realised that being an entrepreneur was my calling. I founded MPQ Travel and Tourism, Dubai, in 2013 (MPQ stands for Malou Prado-Quinto).”

Travel restrictions

Running the travel agency comes with its fair share of challenges, including fierce competition in the industry, managing customer expectations and unexpected circumstances such as the COVID-19 pandemic. As CEO of the travel company, Prado found it hard to stay afloat, as the world went into lockdown during the pandemic.

Prado recalls: “During the travel lockdowns, our agency faced significant challenges. There were only few customers, flights were decreasing to nil at times, but overheads were there. I had to close down the office, and asked my staff to stay at home for a while. I didn’t know where to get the money to pay for my staff, office rents and everyday expenses. My cheque to pay rent bounced due to insufficient funds. I was so desperate, and broke down mentally during the COVID-19 pandemic. I was hopeless, I prayed very hard for help and guidance.

Through ups and downs, I weathered out the challenges and persevered through the difficult years with the support of my husband. Now, we own a house in the Philippines, and explore Europe, the Americas and the Middle East with my family. Today, the agency has grown with three branches in Dubai - Karama, Bur Dubai and Satwa, and we have a branch in Las Vegas, USA, and another in the Philippines. Currently, there are 20 employees in total. - Malou Prado

"I am fortunate to have my husband's unwavering support, both emotionally and practically, in the business. He actively assists with administrative tasks, financial management, and provides valuable insights that contribute to the agency's growth and success. His dedication and collaboration have been instrumental in overcoming these obstacles. We persevered and adapted to the situation.

"We were one of the first travel agencies to organise chartered flights to assist the repatriation of Filipinos from the UAE to the Philippines during the COVID-19 pandemic. It helped our organisation survive the pandemic. As the travel sector was severely affected by COVID-19 travel restrictions, this initiative provided a lifeline for both our business and our customers."

Saving tips

Prado is proud to have survived all the challenges in life. She has learnt valuable saving lessons on her journey to financial stability. Prado shares her saving habits:

• Set clear financial goals: I know first-hand the importance of having clear financial objectives. When I started my entrepreneurial journey, I set specific goals for business expansion and secure my family's future.

• Create a budget: Managing finances effectively is crucial. I diligently created a budget that allowed me to keep track of my income, business expenses, and personal spending, enabling me to allocate a portion of my earnings to savings.

• Prioritise savings: Before anything else, I made sure to set aside money for my future, treating it as a non-negotiable commitment.

• Maintain a debt-free approach: I understood the burden of debt, so I made it a priority to minimise it. By staying debt-free, I could focus more on saving and investing for the long term.

Future plans

Looking ahead, Prado plans to expand her travel agencies' presence internationally. She said: “I envision a highly motivated team that shares my values and a culture of excellence and customer-centricity. As a passionate entrepreneur, I remain open to exploring new opportunities and contributing positively to the Filipino community and the global travel industry."

Prado’s journey from humble beginnings to thriving entrepreneurship in Dubai is a testament to the power of perseverance, and faith in oneself. Prado said: “Embracing challenges as opportunities for growth, staying adaptable, and fostering a strong work ethic have been key factors in my achievements. I believe that success requires determination and resilience, and I urge fellow entrepreneurs to be driven by passion and purpose, embrace challenges, and never lose sight of their goals. Surround yourself with a dedicated team that shares your vision and values, as they will be crucial to your success."
