MASTER-Tavrida robotic telescope  [1]  located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, SAI Crimea astronomical station) was pointed to the SVOM GRB260604.85 (trigger No 1780604437,14h 57m 12.77s , +28d 36m 26.6s, R=0.1738) errorbox  43 sec after notice time and 713 sec after trigger time at 2026-06-04 20:32:30 UT, with upper limit up to  19.4 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 18 deg. The sun  altitude  is -21.0 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = 62 deg., longitude l = 43 deg.
