of the eurasian economic union in st. petersburg, how the difficult 2023 will end for unification, what are the plans for the future and what lukashenko said to his colleagues, reporting from the city of nanev in a minute. the bethlehem vigil was on fire, christ was missing in the manger. belarusian catholics and pratestants are the sustrels of the holy god. from the holy night, the whole day is full of joy at the temples.

the day before, a new year's gift was presented to his fans by a volleyball miner, who won the belarusian cup in an emotional final in his home hall. in the sports section, we will also discuss the preparation of the belarusian beach soccer team for the upcoming world cup. the pre-holiday week starts with integration meetings in st. petersburg. today there is a summit of leaders of the countries of the eurasian economic union, which , let us remind you, includes belarus, russia, kazakhstan, kyrgyzstan and armenia. in the first half of the day

, our president arrived in russia on a working visit. on the agenda of the meeting of the supreme eurasian economic council, more two dozen questions, among them the question of the further development of the association. an important point: a free trade agreement was signed between ias and iran in st. petersburg. tomorrow there will still be an informal meeting of the cis leaders, natalia breus will have moments from the past negotiating day. post-soviet leaders have such a tradition.

union, journalists, taking this opportunity, will ask alexander lukashenko about the economic efficiency of the eac, but even more questions about pressing problems, from the situation on the western borders, the settlement in ukraine, and to fears that we won’t lose armenia, what will we do in ukraine next year, like yours? i think that the very chance, we will somehow work more closely with them so that they understand that this is the only chance, if they don’t take advantage of it, there will be a total collapse, military or? and the military or political, now they have reached the politicians, the military is putting pressure on, as i always said, the military see what is happening, the pressure is very strong, you probably already noticed from zelensky’s press conference that he is beginning to understand, and

the western borders safety, do not run over they don’t press us, well, they run into us, we drive away, nothing, we are the ones, what do you mean, i’m an old border guard. any person would think so, we are fighting , here you are russians, let’s say i’m there on the front line, what’s new to us before the war today, we need to deal with this, especially now, when the situation is developing favorably, and not only for us, but and for

them, so as not to lose ukraine, so as i understand it, it’s obvious that pashinyan flew in, didn’t fly to you, what do you mean, what’s the difference? now what’s the insult, let’s not lose armenia from number of friends, well, if armenia wants to die economically, then we can lose it, but i don’t think that armenians are stupid people, they are smart people, so no, no, i don’t even

think about it and don’t worry, i’m sure that armenia will not go anywhere, that it did not see how people fell in afghanistan, clinging to each other. remember, when the americans left, well, that’s exactly how they will use armenia , they will overthrow you, you think this won’t happen, it will be like this, this is their policy, and the armenians are smart people, smart people, they understand that this is exactly how it will be, who wants what it will help, europe is there, france is trying to do something, you see what is happening in france, they would have to sort it out with the french, and then...

the entire cis is a colossal reserve of this economic union of ours. therefore, we just need to move in this direction, and not bother ourselves with some little things: we didn’t do enough work there, we didn’t do enough work here, this military operation in ukraine, it taught us a lot and pushes us to just move on. but we are frozen, we need to move, the base is solid, not a single organization has such a base. question. were not accidental, because if takaev and japarov did not intrigue about their arrival, they said in advance that we would wait, then

it was not clear whether to wait for pashinyan: yerevan has recently allowed itself to skip integration meetings, but everyone was so actively and publicly pinning their hopes on his arrival from putin’s assistant to the russian foreign ministry, it seems that the armenian prime minister decided to live up to expectations, the eurasian five are gathering in the yeltsin library. the meeting in a narrow format will be held practically without the press, they will discuss behind closed doors whether it is worth it?

dollars , the union maintains a high level of self-sufficiency in raw materials and key types of food, that is , we can feed not only our own people, despite the fact that at the start of the union the food balance was in the minus, now it has turned into a plus, the eac countries hold second place in world in oil and gas production, production of mineral fertilizers, third in the production of wheat, potatoes, livestock products, fourth in coal mining. let me remind you that such results were achieved in very unfavorable external conditions. conditions when our geopolitical

competitors openly set out to divide us, tear us apart, disunite us, but we have collectively overcome this challenge and are steadily moving forward. our integration association is open to mutually beneficial, equal cooperation with leading economies. we do not isolate ourselves from the outside world, no matter how much someone might want to. we build dialogue on terms of equality and respect for interests. and here's an example: an agreement was signed to create a free trade zone with iran, the largest economy in the middle east is a key element southern trade route with the middle east and south asia. the agreement will increase exports to this country and save on customs duties; according to forecasts, the total trade turnover will at least double. we believe that the preferences that

our company will receive as a result of this agreement will allow us, at least in the coming years , to double the volume of mutual trade. this is a very important significant day, this is the beginning of a new civilization between our countries. of course, trade creates preconditions for development our civilizations. union budget, a good new product, that is, we will build a new enterprise together and

thereby develop our economy, the decision has been made, the criteria for selecting such projects already exist, they have been developed and approved. also important is the work on the joint development of transport, logistics, digital infrastructure of the member states, and increasing transport connectivity. union with actively developing markets of third countries, the example was given not only of iran, but also of egypt, the coexistence of our infrastructure opportunities.

transport corridor, north-south, which is being implemented on the initiative of president putin, with the participation of azerbaijan and iran. this will be a breakthrough in transport and logistics. it is important to give this project dynamics, and under no circumstances should it be left on paper. maximum disclosure of the promises of the directions reflected in the declaration. a task for ours. government commission, that is, a road map and a plan for further actions - this is already the concern of our future commission. in the context of the formation of a new highly competitive geopolitical environment, the results of the implementation of all plans, i would like to see the eurasian economic union, if not by the thirtieth, then by the forty-fifth year, definitely one of the main

global poles of economic attraction. the president’s speech once again conveys a thought that can be formulated simply: one man in the field is not a warrior, we are talking about the eurasian community itself, about connecting the sco and brix, with those structures where countries are determined to cooperate and not to conflict. take shos brix, they haven’t advanced as much in the economy as we have, they don’t have this dynamics, they have not yet reached the level of integration that we have achieved, and the main thing now is not to lose momentum. we need to move in this direction so that we are the leading, not only regional, but also global economic organization, but there will be an economy, politics will come to this, and military-political cooperation, everything will have something to protect, it will also not go anywhere,

we have chance, the most important thing is not to stop, the chairmanship is moving from moscow to... but the proposal to hold the next summit dedicated to the anniversary date of unification in leaders supported moscow, a personnel decision was made, the ex-prime minister of kazakhstan will replace mikhail mesnikovich as chairman of the eec board. summing up the results of the russian presidency, vladimir putin will talk about the economic effect. interaction within the union continues to develop dynamically and successfully in all key areas of integration construction. even despite...

the further development of the eurasian economic union until 2030 and for the period until 1945, the focus is essentially on the image of the future of integration. how difficult 2023 would not be another week and it would be left behind, the new year 2024 is ahead,

everyone always enters the new year with great hopes. the eu is no exception here. well, on this new year's eve. the negotiation marathon is not ending, it is known that the leaders of the ias will be joined at an informal dinner by the heads of tajikistan and uzbekistan, that is, the summit of the eurasian five smoothly flows into a conversation about the commonwealth, and informal communication between the cis leaders is planned for tomorrow. in this difficult situation, the president always has something to say to each other. natalia brios, alexey volkov, alexander oleshko, telenews agency, st. petersburg, russia. catholics and protestants around the world are celebrating the nativity of christ today, the president warmly congratulated his compatriots. belarus alexander lukashenko. christmas is a time for sincere prayer in church and sincere family evenings, long-awaited children's gifts and conscious charity, summing up results and

the beltelerady campaign in the spiritual tandem from the catalan confession broadcasts the holy night and that sacred moment, as well as the canal chants, mute the name of jesus is placed at the manger. let's remember the holiday blessings and remember the bad things.

the saint here collects amal two hundred chalaveks, months, like chickens and vagi grabs everything. god comes as a pamper to the chalavechaya sertsa, a pamper to people, a pamper to the gods and chalavekam. may we adopt these words and live these words so that we may glorify god on high, and may we be happy with each other on earth. minsk passage maci bozaj buslauska.

having visited churches, they traditionally gathered today at the festive family table, and no matter what faith, the holiday unites everyone. this is how it is in belarus, all faiths live in harmony, their own...

candles, garlands, patterns on the windows, in the new house of edgars and beruta, there is a feeling of a holiday with the union, when we visited each other, this has been preserved for you, yes, it has been preserved , the threshold, they believe here, miracles happen, and separated by a fence and barbed wire , latvia and belarus will definitely live in friendship, but for now every thinking person has to make a choice, for the lidums family it is not in favor of their native state

, beruki was confronted with the fact: i’m leaving, i won’t stay, uh, the thought matured, let’s say, gradually, as if step by step, yes, with every event that is absolutely unacceptable for me, i’m a person who thinks with his own head and sees what what i see, yes, that at one moment there is just a feeling that some kind of sect is around you, thoughtful, very competent psychological treatment at a very high level, the family moved to belarus less than... a year ago they bought a house in the verkhnedvinsk region. the couple chose the agricultural town of borkoviche, a picturesque corner of the belarusian land on the banks of the drissa river, as a place to live. i liked the village way of life ; they are finishing the renovation of the house and are already planning to plant it on thirty acres in the spring. they say young people are leaving latvia, barely reaching adulthood. personnel shortage. there is no one to teach children in schools, and maybe there is no need, edgars argues.

in general, they need to stay away from all this, they are taught this, but i would call it nazism. latvia gained independence 30 years ago. 30 years ago, desecration of the graves of people who died in the war was a crime, they could have been detained for it, but now it is not. and in belarus they cherish traditions, the value of family, support each other, and go to visit. good neighborliness, why those born in the ussr were bored, the lidums spouses.

lots of topics.

good news, but if you think that things are bad for you, go and live for a month, i would like to say to such people, yes, who are doubtful, even think, i understand, it seems to them that it will be better somewhere else, it’s very simple , i would like it for a month, here you go, a visa for a month, go, live in latvia, i think that after this he will happily return back and will not finish traveling anymore, christmas is the time to make a wish, here in borkovichi, in a new cozy one. .. in the house of the lidums family they are already coming true. olga moslovskaya, mikhail khristoforov, tv news agency. millions of pounds per second and billions of desires. what was the economy of the year like, who and why is its most expensive brand. traditions, world records and a miracle without a schedule, brave deeds in the history of the salvation of belarusians, and also what the world press promises us in 2024. watch the festive

issue of understandable politics today.

serbia against violence stormed the administration building in belgrade. they, they beat glass, burned fires and blocked traffic, clashes with the police were reported near electoral commission president aleksandar vucic addressed the nation with an urgent address. he stated that there was no talk of revolution. the police are in full control of the situation. under control, more than 35 protesters were detained, two police officers were injured, president vucic promised to prevent violence and escalation of tension. the serbian leader emphasized that the opposition's protests and provocative statements

will have no result, since in the country power changes only through elections. and a little more new year's truth, but from european parliament. frau-genocide, this is the nickname given to ursula vonderla.

meanwhile, israel is expanding its military operations in gaza and will continue it until the bitter end, prime minister netanyahu said. an israeli airstrike on the palestinian refugee camp in magazi killed more than 60 people. tsahal also reported that it had discovered a network of tunnels in jibaliya.

saying yes to the prince of peace means saying no to war, every war. the very logic of war, war is always a journey without a destination, defeat without victors, madness, no excuses, but to say no to war, you need to say no to weapons. in bethlehem

, this year the festive events were canceled due to the palestinian-israeli conflict, only a solemn service took place, instead of the traditional decorated fir tree and nativity scene with figurines of the saint... families on the street installed an installation of the nativity of christ under the rubble. new year's eve is a time of unexpected miracles. the diplomats of belarus and russia gave a very nice gift. the premiere of the song merry christmas took place in moscow good morning. author of the words: “the iron lady of russian diplomacy, maria zakharova. the music was written by the famous belarusian composer leonid shirin, and our young star ksenia goletskaya became the voice of the union state. how one day the idea became beautiful.”

and the voice of the union project was a young, but already very professional singer, ksenia goletskaya, by the way, also a belarusian, winner of the grand prix of the slavic bazaar children's competition, even out-sang the italians, and became the winner. i start listening to this song, i understand that tears are flowing, and i can’t stop,

because her voice simply pierces my heart, everything that i put in these words, in this text, it comes to life, it becomes a living present. after i recorded it, we met personally with the author of the text, maria zakharova, she said that she never writes songs to order, that is , this is her emotional response, everything, all the words that she pours out on paper, it goes from the heart, and like me... most creative people are very pleased to work when this work comes straight from the heart. ksenia goletskaya was unable to come to the premiere of the song in moscow, but distance is not an obstacle to christmas miracles. the performer appeared before the first audience in the image of a snow maiden and wished everyone to believe in love, goodness and magic. now i’m talking about belarusians, about belarus, i immediately have a smile on my face, you know, we should be friends with each other.
