Russia has officially authorized the sale of lower-grade Euro-3 gasoline through the end of 2026, citing the need to "improve fuel supply reliability." Euro-3 fuel had largely been phased out in favor of cleaner standards. The decision comes amid worsening fuel shortages, rationing, and supply disruptions across multiple Russian regions.

A study from the University of Essex in the UK suggests that daughters raised by mothers who set high expectations, often described as “nagging”, tend to achieve greater success in life.Researchers tracked more than 15,000 girls aged 13 to 14 over six years and found that those whose mothers consistently pushed them to study harder, aim higher, and avoid risky behaviors were more likely to excel academically, secure better-paying jobs, and avoid teenage pregnancy.Lead researcher Dr. Ericka Rascon-Ramirez noted that this kind of persistent parental influence often works subtly. Even when daughters appeared to resist or rebel, they were still absorbing their mothers’ values and standards.While the constant reminders may feel irritating in the moment, they help build discipline, ambition, and self-worth. Experts emphasize that effective “nagging” is not harsh criticism or micromanaging, but rather consistent, constructive guidance focused on clear goals and positive expectations.[Rascon-Ramirez, E.
