because you are people of character, you act purposefully, and you are moving towards your goal. what event in 2023 was the most memorable for you? you know, my life consists of an endless number of different events and activities, as i... i’m nearby, i try not to pretend, and even when i and my loved ones pretend like everything’s fine, we’re resting, but i know that in 5 minutes i’ll so and so should call, in 10 minutes i should call there and then, and in half an hour such and such an event will happen, i must understand what... and if i need to somehow

react to this or adjust something, so this such a series of events, but, but , of course, just like for the country as a whole, and for me, and for you, i think everything, the brightest, the most significant happened on the battlefield in the zone of a special military operation, so, then, of course, there are a lot of issues related to the economy. with its maintenance, with development, ensuring the growth rate economy, this is the base on which everything is built, our whole life, social life, and our military successes are based on basic indicators in the economy, in the real sector of industry, so everything is basically there, but most of all... such bright events are of course

, meetings with our guys or with women, with our girls who serve in their zone or with members of their family. frankly speaking, i try not to show emotions, but still these events, these meetings bear the most vivid emotional overtones. v last year, the second group of female cadets graduated, it is impossible to call them weak at the sight of girls in uniform, they asked the president about airplanes, what did he fly on?

i didn’t pilot, of course, we recently flew on the strategic missile carrier tu-160m, please tell us what impressions this flight left you with? the last flight, it was not planned, because... what the minister says: you can’t fly because we haven’t accepted this machine yet, but - the industry says: we haven’t delivered it yet, that’s it, but when we came to they inspected the enterprise, the ship’s commander told me: vladimir vladimirovich, we are ready, in 2 hours we can be in the air, i suggest you try, i say, okay, but in 2 hours i can’t, there is a work schedule. protocol meeting “let’s go tomorrow,” he says, we’ll be ready, so he and i sat down and flew, it was interesting to compare what happened to the car since the time when i didn’t fly it in 2005, and really,

a lot has changed, it’s practically new car, avionics everything is new, this modernization was carried out on the initiative of the minister of defense; there is no such machine in the world. at the flight school, it was decided to train girls, they took them exclusively into aviation

, thanks, when in 2017 in the krasnodar transport, after all, fighters and the speed are much higher than the loads of transport workers, but that was not the case, already in 2019 during direct line with vladimir putin, the cadets made a request to the supreme commander- in-chief. will we have the opportunity to master any other types of aviation besides military transport, for example, fighter aircraft? or assault. i think your wonderful , beautiful braid will fit in a headset, and i don’t see any other restrictions that could become an obstacle to your serving in aviation, and in different units, including fighter aviation. after this, there are no obstacles to the girls’ flights. fighters were no longer seen in the krasnodar school itself, however, alla samkova, who asked putin the question, is now the commander of the an-2 transport aircraft , carrying paratroopers who continue training after returning from the zone of a special military operation, i understand that we are now performing very important tasks, besides, i understand

that of course there are no irreplaceable people, but still i took my place and i feel here - as if i were absolutely in on your plate. the krasnodar school is the forge of our flight personnel. over the years , 18,000 pilots have been trained here. almost 200 of them were awarded the title of hero of the soviet union. nine graduates of the heroes of russia school who received awards, including for work in the special military zone operations. what wishes would you like to convey on the eve of international women's day to women and girls who perform their duties and tasks assigned to them in the special zone. operations - to return home as quickly as possible, but we wish you happiness, personal happiness, success - both military success and in your personal life, i say this

completely sincerely, i said, we wish you to return home quickly, but i know something else, this also applies ...

do not serve their homeland, this is their calling, and this is such an inner life impulse, but nevertheless less uh... i want them to return home to their families, to their responsibilities, in this area, as quickly as possible, well , of course, i am very grateful to all of them for what they do, for the way they treat their service, to his work, to serving the fatherland, and we wish you happiness, well, at the end of the meeting, the president gave all the girls festive bouquets, anton vernitsky, valery sebastianov, ekaterina yarovenko, channel one. we have just received a new report from the ministry of defense on the avdeevsky, donetsk and
