  The paper reports on the recent progress in implementing the program of accelerating light ions in the Accelerator Complex U70 of IHEP-Protvino. The list of milestones achieved since RuPAC-2010 includes: (1) Proof-of-principle acceleration of Carbon-12 to the top available 34.1 GeV per nucleon (specific kinetic energy). (2) Circulation and slow extraction from U70 of the carbon beam at flat-bottom 455 MeV per nucleon. (3) The first ever successful extraction of Carbon nuclei at 24.1 GeV per nucleon to the existing beam transfer line #22 followed by feeding the FODS experimental facility with carbon beam for fixed-target high-energy nuclear physics start-up.
