robert fitz, a criminal waylaid the prime minister in the city of gandlovo, after a government retreat, eyewitnesses counted up to six shots, three bullets reached the target. doctors assess robert fitz's condition as serious. the attacker was detained, the motives are still unclear, but the bold position of the slovak prime minister himself is well known, who is not afraid to criticize the west for supplying weapons to kiev and supporting ukrainian nationalists, because of whose actions, according to fitz, the conflict broke out. valentin is following the news from slovakia. this the first seconds after the assassination attempt on robert fitz, the wounded prime minister of slovakia is brought into the car, he is conscious, it is reported that fitz received several wounds in the chest and abdomen, his condition is assessed as serious, after the assassination attempt, fitz was transported by helicopter to a hospital in the city of banska bystrica for treatment urgent surgery. these images show the moment the attacker was apprehended, as the words say. this man

was hiding in the crowd near the building where fitz was speaking and opened fire when the prime minister of the republic came out to the people. eyewitnesses heard several shots were fired, the attacker tried to escape, but was pinned down. i heard three shots, it was quick, one after the other, as if you threw a firecracker on the ground. everything happened after a visiting meeting of the country’s government in the city of gandlovo, in the western part of the republic. shortly before the assassination attempt, fitz spoke at a press conference. here are the shots. there is little information yet about the identity of the attacker. local publications. it is reported that he is a citizen of slovakia, a native of the city of levitsa. law enforcement officials are investigating the motive for the attack. who did robert interfere with? fitz, whose rhetoric was so strikingly different from the western stream. fitz is known for criticizing nato's western policy on ukraine. this is what he said about the reasons for the special operation. this war began back in 2014 with rampant ukrainian neo-nazis. they tried to mislead russia that nato would not continue its expansion to the east. and today it is already coming to statements that members...

and ukrainians will kill each other. the question is who wants what. it seems to me that the west is extremely supportive of this war. this the message arose in 2022, when some western countries dissuaded ukraine from signing a peace agreement with russia. they say we are using the war in ukraine to weaken russia. we will provide military and economic assistance to ukraine. we will introduce sanctions against russia and weaken russia. this does not work. he opposed arms supplies to kiev. we will

supply ukraine with no weapons, and i will not vote for any sanctions against russia until an analysis of their impact on slovakia is on the table. please treat seriously to what i am saying here, i simply cannot imagine that there will be soldiers from nato member countries on the territory of ukraine. a message appeared on fitz's page that he was, quote, in a life-threatening condition, the next few hours would be decisive. it was previously reported that there was no threat to his life. leaders of several countries condemned the assassination attempt. hungarian prime minister viktor orban said he was shocked by the horrific attack. quote for a friend. serbian president aleksandar vucic said he was praying for health great friend of serbia. valentina slavyova, alina abdyukhanova, evgeny leonov, channel one. vladimir putin today met with the commanders of the russian military districts. the president introduced them to the new

minister of defense, emphasizing that andrei belousov perfectly understands how the economy of the security bloc can be integrated into the overall economy of the country, and this is extremely important in the context of growing costs for defense and security. at the same time , no changes are planned in the general staff itself, especially since combat work is going according to plan, all set tasks are being accomplished, as the president noted, our vsks are constantly improving their position in all areas. kirill brainin listened attentively. a meeting with the participation of the commanders of all military districts at once for the president, an opportunity to assess the situation with those details that the daily reports of the general staff lack, and for the generals also a personal acquaintance with the new minister of defense andrei. his predecessor sergei shaigu, who was appointed secretary of the security council, also takes part in the meeting. i would like to thank sergei kuzhgevichaiga for what he has done over the previous years to build the armed forces, to give it a new look, i think that no one

has any doubts that this look is being consistently created, including in relation to the requirements of today, to the requirements. modern methods of warfare. yes, we all understand that much still needs to be done, many things were not clear before the outbreak of hostilities, neither to us nor to all those who in one way or another in the world deal with the construction of their armed forces, this obvious, but how quickly we respond to the demands of the time gives us confidence that we will certainly solve all problems of this kind. this, according to the president, requires serious expenses, and although the country now spends 8.7% of its income on defense compared to 13 in the mid -eighties, this is still a very sensitive budget item.

the president is confident that andrei belousov has enough experience to effectively manage resources, from working in the ministry of economic development to leading the economic bloc. government. and of course, yes. he understands perfectly well what needs to be done in order for the economy of the entire power bloc and the ministry of defense, as a key link in this bloc, to fit into the overall economy of the country; this is an extremely important thing, bearing in mind that this is associated with the innovative development of industry and accounting opportunities of the economy, the budget, while we are increasing spending, we still proceed from the fact that by increasing spending on defense and security, we proceed from the fact that all social obligations must be fulfilled to citizens, there must be our national development goals have been achieved and must be achieved in all areas,

including social ones, while the increased load on defense enterprises is directly related to the civilian industry, a powerful impetus in the development of a variety of industries and, of course, a record low unemployment rate. it is important, according to the president, to maintain the right balance. this is the relationship between guns, the so -called guns and butter, it should be organically integrated into the overall development strategy of the russian state. hope, that andrei ramevich will cope with this task in the best possible way. among other things, andrei aranovich has recently been working on some things on my instructions.

organizing the work of the federal service for cooperation with foreign countries, i think that more than anyone else understands the need to ensure. our obligations to our partners in the field of supplying military equipment to the foreign market, taking into account the fact that first of all we must meet the needs of our armed forces. actually, those from whom, as i have said more than once the head of state ultimately depends on everything else. the entire country works for the needs of the army, which this army defends every day on the front line. as for the general staff itself, the entire structure that provides. combat work, there are no changes here, and there are no plans, i want

this to be clear to everyone, so this block of combat work, it has settled down, it functions rhythmically, it operates successfully, and no changes are expected here. reports on the progress of our troops in the special operation zone, supreme commander receive daily, as well as a message about the actions of the enemy, long ago... but the more effectively you work on the line of combat contact, the more

chances we have to resolve this issue peacefully, we have always strived for this, i have always said this, as well and that any negotiations must take into account the situation on the battlefield, which, despite all attempts by ukraine’s western friends to improve its negotiating position, is turning in exactly the opposite direction. first channel. and a little later, today vladimir putin held meeting on the development of the defense industry, the first after the renewal of the government, the president emphasized that it is now important to concentrate all resources and experience to solve the problems of the special operation. but this must be done wisely, so that the increase in military production does not affect the pace of economic development in the civilian sphere. and we all need to meet our needs together. the russian armed forces

have done a lot to effectively work in the zone of combat contact as part of a special military operation, even more needs to be done to develop the defense industries, despite the fact that these enterprises continue to work on diversification, without any involvement we must be ready at any time for these enterprises to be ready to switch to even greater volumes of civilian production . production, we have many tasks, including in the social sphere, now i will say a very important thing: we must do all this while unconditionally observing the principles of a healthy economy and adhering to macroeconomic principles. this is an extremely important thing. we must under no circumstances allow any distortions in the economy and industry. to solve these problems , well-known... personnel changes have been made, the president has set the defense complex the task of intensifying efforts

to acquire the most advanced technologies, it is necessary to produce even more of the latest weapons, since they provide an advantage to our army, to organize such systematic work to introduce innovations for the military needs, vladimir putin instructed the new head of the ministry of defense. we need to open a ministry defense, as far as possible, bearing in mind the specifics of the ministry of defense, in order to... absorb all the best, all the most modern, all that can and should be used for successful work on the battlefield by our guys, our fighters, we know that the more effective the weapons, the more accurate they are, the more powerful they are, the fewer losses we have, and this is a key issue when conducting armed struggle, we must be one step ahead, we have everything for this, i'm very...

it happens every day, but we have to to do everything that depends on us to ensure that they have everything they need to further solve the problems they face. the russian army liberated rabotin in the zaporozhye region. the name of this very small settlement became known to the whole world last year when it was captured by ukrainian militants during their... a highly publicized and completely failed counter-offensive. now this result of the armed forces of ukraine has been completely reset by our fighters. in addition, russian units liberated the settlements of glubokoye and lukyans in the kharkov region. ours are gradually moving deeper into the enemy’s defense. in this direction alone , 125 militants were killed, and the total losses in the ssu along the entire front line were 1,165 people, and this was in

have reached. highest level in history. the dialogue between our countries is not subject to political conditions; cooperation is developing successfully, despite the difficult situation in the world. vladimir putin stated this in an interview with a chinese agency xinhua. tomorrow the russian leader is expected in beijing on a state visit, his first since taking office as president. and the choice of country is not accidental. in addition to common views on external challenges, we are connected with china by ambitious plans, and new multi-billion dollar contracts are ready to be signed. report from beijing. the chinese press today writes about the upcoming state visit of vladimir putin, the first foreign trip after re-election to the prc, just like sidinpin to russia a year ago, and then exactly 10 days after taking office. the day before state visit to our country, the president of the people's republic of china wrote an article for readers of the russian newspaper, but now a year later, the president of russia gave an interview to china's largest news agency xinhua and already in answer to the first question, the warmest memories of the moscow negotiations with chairman xi. we

spent almost five years together. hours, talking one-on-one, the next day we took part in a rich and meaningful official program; it was the unprecedentedly high level of strategic partnership between our countries that determined my choice china as the first state that i will visit after officially taking office as president of the russian federation. in many ways, it was putin’s personal friendship with russia that brought relations between russia and the people’s republic of china to the highest level of all time. over the past 5 years, the countries have managed to double mutual trade turnover to almost 230 miles. dollars, while more than 90% of settlements between our companies are in national currencies, so it would be more correct to say that bilateral trade is now about 20 trillion rubles, or almost 1.600 billion yuan. china has been our main business partner for 13 years, and russia in 2023 immediately rose to fourth place in the ranking.
