The team, represented by six students from various Russian regions, ranked second after China in the unofficial standings, sharing the spot with the US.

Gold medals were awarded to Dmitry Grishko from Moscow, Ivan Chasovskikh from Khimki (a northwestern suburb of the capital), Ilya Zamotorin from Saint Petersburg, Vasily Patrushev from Vladivostok, and Artyom Sadykov from Chelyabinsk, each scoring between 35 and 42 points. A silver medal was awarded to Ivan Kokarev, also from Chelyabinsk. For the Russian national team, the competition was held remotely at a venue provided by Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov congratulated the winners. Chernyshenko emphasized that the students had continued Russia's rich mathematical traditions, noting the country's legacy of producing many renowned figures in the field. Kravtsov added that the students' success highlights the high quality of Russia's education system and the strength of its mathematics. The officials also thanked the educators who contributed to the students' preparation. The Russian team was led by Kirill Sukhov, head of the resource center for supplementary education at the Presidential Physics and Mathematics Lyceum 239 in Saint Petersburg. The IMO is ranked among the seven most prestigious subject-specific competitions in the world, collectively known as the International Science Olympiads.

North Korea to start drone production in collaboration with Russia, media reports
North Korea is expected to begin drone production this year with Russian technical assistance, Japanese public broadcaster NHK reported on Feb. 8, citing undisclosed sources. The agreement will allow North Korea to develop and mass-produce several types of drones in coordination with Russia. According to the sources, the drone production initiative is likely a reciprocated gesture to North Korea after the country has sent soldiers to support Russia's full-scale war in Ukraine. This cooperation follows last year's strategic partnership treaty between the two countries. Artyom Lukin of Russia's Far Eastern Federal University, previously told Reuters that the agreement is "for all intents and purposes... a pact of military alliance," Moscow's "first defense alliance outside the post-Soviet space." The agreement also covers trade, investment, political and security cooperation. As of early February, about 8,000 North Korean soldiers were fighting against Ukraine in Kursk Oblast, according to Budanov. Up to 12,000 North Korean troops were deployed in the Russian region last fall to support Russian forces in countering a Ukrainian incursion launched six months ago, on Aug. 6 on 2024.
