the task for the next 6 years is to enter the four largest economies in the world, while ensuring financial and technological sovereignty, although according to some indicators, for example, purchasing power parity, our economy is already the fourth in the world, has surpassed japan, and this is data from the world bank, sanctions helped improve economic indicators, why did this happen so quickly, it seems to me that sanctions are to blame for everything, they impose sanctions with pleasure, i like it. whoever comes up with any more restrictions is shooting themselves in the foot, you know, their economy is stagnating, ours is growing, yes, so this process just accelerated, understandable, thank you, so you see, how to say, it seems to me that all these points are connected among ourselves, thank you it’s still good that at 9:00 in the morning the minister of finance has such optimism, but at 9:00 this usually doesn’t happen, the fact that we have overcome and shown such growth rates shows that in conditions of... external pressure, this in

continuation of anton germanvich’s thought, we can really develop, our internal resources, our internal reserves, they are significantly larger than we expected, we managed to do all this while maintaining the market nature of the economy, this discussion traditionally involved the head of the central bank and the deputy head of the administration president, the key task for the next 6 years is the modernization of our armed forces , taking into account the experience of a special military operation with... new technological solutions, taking into account changes in the management system, we have a new minister of defense, he has been given this task, no economic sovereignty without there will be no state sovereignty, this is obvious, and there can be no successful economy without a successful army either. today , within the framework of the forum , several important transactions were announced at once, so the russian a private equity fund has entered into an agreement with pharmaceutical manufacturers in india and cuba. according to them , a new plant for injectable drugs will be built in one of the regions, and joint development will also be carried out. china, the middle

east and other countries of the global south. our investments not only go into the most strategically important sectors for russia, and this includes infrastructure, this technology, these are many other key sectors, but the fact that they are extremely profitable and profitable for the state, for the first time we are saying that rdif is for account of dividends received and exit from series portfolio companies have already earned more for the state...

international news agencies, among whom vladimir putin met with leaders were representatives of unfriendly countries. a large, detailed conversation continued almost until midnight, the relationship between russia and the west, the situation around ukraine, regional problems. the most important statement of the president in the report by oleg shishkin. communication between vladimir putin and representatives of major foreign news agencies is one of the traditions of the st. petersburg forum. during all this time seven such meetings took place, the last one in person before the coronavirus pandemic. the international situation changed dramatically, so this time most of the issues related to global security and ukraine. the president recalled that the tragedy began with the 2014 coup d'état , which was backed by western countries. russia made every effort to resolve the situation peacefully, but as a result, it was necessary to defend the residents of donbass with arms in hand.

an american journalist asks a question about the conflict in ukraine. what do you think? moscow has managed to achieve over the past 2 years and how to put an end to hostilities ? the first thing we did was fulfill our duty to the people who suffered from the coup d'etat and the subsequent hostilities in the territories of south-eastern ukraine. we recognized the rights of these people who live in these territories to protect their interests, their lives and the lives of their children. and this, in my opinion, is the main thing. we also showed. to the whole world that we not only talk about protecting our interests, but we do it and will do it to do without any doubt, everyone will have to reckon with this, i can tell you, as a representative of the united states, what

i once told mr. biden, if you want to stop the fighting in ukraine, stop supplying weapons, and these actions will stop within. it is unclear with whom to conduct a dialogue now, legally zelensky occupies the presidential chair illegally, with whom should he sign an agreement?

well, nevertheless, everything can be solved, everything can be agreed upon, there is complete power, if it goes to the speaker of parliament, that means it was if we would like to sign an agreement, who can we find it with? that's another question. zelensky’s fate looks unenviable. most likely, as vladimir putin said, the united states will blame him for unpopular decisions, in particular about conscription to the front at the age of 18, and then within a year they will exchange him for someone else. the collective west has made it its goal to inflict a strategic defeat on russia and, one after another, is crossing the red lines it has designated. now the vampire of the american hymers is hitting belgorod with czech mlrs. nato is discussing the so-called resolution to ukraine strike at... and with long-range missiles, the response may be sensitive, vladimir putin made it clear, if someone considers it possible to supply such weapons to a combat zone to strike at our territory and create problems for us, then why don’t we the right to supply our

weapons of the same class to those regions of the world where attacks will be carried out on sensitive targets of those countries that do this in relation to... russia, that is, the answer may be asymmetrical, we will think about it, and of course, it could not be done without nuclear issue weapons in the western press is like a mandatory program, you write about russia, don’t forget to mention the nuclear threat, returning to ukraine, what would serve as a trigger for nuclear war, how close are we to this risk? you know, they always try to accuse us of waving some kind of nuclear baton.

it would be nonsense, yes, if there were no idea in order to fool our own population, and the guard, soon russia will attack us, and we must urgently arm ourselves, urgently, that means, send weapons, that means, to ukraine, in fact , what this is being done for is to maintain one’s own imperial position and greatness, that’s what this is being done for. western countries failed to turn our strategic partners and allies against russia. no international isolation. out of the question, for example, interaction between moscow and beijing is now more fruitful than ever,

there are points of contact in almost all areas, including military-technical cooperation, we are conducting and will conduct exercises, we will do this in the future, including including military exercises, we are working in the field of military-technical cooperation, here we have something to offer our chinese friends and our chinese friends have an interest in working together in this area after the start of a special military operation. sanctions had the opposite effect. what we used to buy in large quantities, when we are faced with the fact that we cannot buy, we have to use our brains, we have to turn to our, not only manufacturers, but to our developers. they don't just take up space western

manufacturers leaving or leaving our market, they pick them up and quickly develop them, so i think that not only our ill-wishers did not expect such an effect, we ourselves partly did not expect, that is, nothing critical of what happens to overcome these.. . sanctions don’t arise in our country, thank god, i hope they don’t arise. but europe, by refusing cheap russian energy resources, has, as they say, shot itself in the foot. left without our gas after sabotage on the nord stream, germany switched to expensive american lng, costs are rising, the economy is falling, but if common sense prevails in europe, russia, according to putin, is always open to dialogue, i want to thank you all for coming here, or on assignment, just without assignment, but were not afraid to come, in any case, for you, for your interest in what

is happening in russia, in what is happening in our relations with other countries, in conditions of, of course, a very difficult situation, i hope that you will present everything as objectively as possible, fulfilling, of course, your mission and your tasks, you will still try to do it as correctly as possible. then the journalists took advantage of the invitation of the host party and went to... and after talking with journalists at night , vladimir putin visited the tsarskoe selo reserve museum, where alexander sergeevich pushkin studied at the famous lyceum. today is the 225th anniversary of the birth of the great poet. the head of state became the first visitor to the new exhibition, original furniture.

throughout the country today there are large-scale celebrations dedicated to the great classic, to whose the monument will not be overgrown with a folk trail; everyone knows at least a couple of lines from his poems. on this day they sound in museums, libraries and just on the streets, but the first to celebrate the 225th anniversary of the birth of alexander sergeevich were in the far east, so in the capital of primorye a lecture was given to schoolchildren by a scientist, in st. petersburg in the courtyard of the museum of pushkin’s apartment flowers the chairman of the council laid a monument to him.

collective access to use equipment and updated more than half of the instrument base of leading scientific organizations, this applies to our new regions, where there is also great scientific potential, i am absolutely sure that scientists and specialists could work effectively, how the foundation interacts with scientists and developers, the russian science foundation organized a regional competition with the leadership of the regions.
