the elements of such work with youth is certainly the first forum of young voters, i am sure that we should do such a practice constant. especially for the voter, the choice we will make is a choice for the future, and the future is not only us, these are our children, these are our children's children, i feel great pride that i have the right to vote, also in the future, perhaps i plan to be elected . working with

young people is a priority of state policy; according to the central election commission , almost 178,000 people will take part in voting in elections for the first time in our country. 4 years ago at the national assembly of belarus they created. youth council, today it consists of 138 boys and girls. riots in europe are flaring up more and more. as a sign of protest against the agricultural policy of brussels, farmers in poland and hungary will again begin blockade of the border with ukraine on february 9. the border between belgium and the netherlands was also paralyzed by peasant rallies. the dutch have adopted the tactics of their french colleagues and are watering government institutions with slurry and setting up barricades on highways. the activity of farmers in italy, spain,

and now portugal is becoming more and more noticeable; there the protest has not yet acquired the same scale as in neighboring france, but columns of agricultural machines in each country is already moving towards its capitals. and in france, the prime minister's promise to fulfill most of the farmers' demands did not inspire confidence. farmers continue to block highways and city squares. it is noteworthy that in all protests the emphasis is on two demands: to reduce taxes and to introduce restrictions on ukrainian exports. in addition to cheap and low-quality grain, kiev supplies the eu with, for example, meat and poultry. now every third chicken in european union stores is ukrainian. european farmers have been with this for a long time they made peace for a while, but now it has become known that several ukrainians are making money from the export of chicken. at the same time, french poultry farming is on its last legs. while europeans are suffering from the sanctions of their own elites, who tried to strangle the economies of belarus and russia, we are creating new supply chains, and a unified transport system will accelerate the growth of the well-being of the citizens of our

countries. this was discussed the day before at the last meeting of the supreme state council of the union state about logistics as an instrument of economic confrontation. author's a comment. hello everyone, i'm maria petrashka, telenews agency. while our western borders are seriously in the throes of protest waves, due to rising electricity prices, losses, including from disruption of supply chains, thanks to sanctions. inside the union state, the picture is completely opposite, but it is the envy of western propagandists. in addition to the purchase of the bronka terminal in the large port of st. petersburg, now, by the way, the terminal’s capacity is more than... 3 million tons per year, by 2025 it will be 25 million tons. so that's the plan minsk will also build its own port in the murmansk region in order to fully take advantage of the advantages of the northern sea route. the northern direction will significantly complement our cooperation in

the field of logistics, taking into account st. petersburg. well, i still believe that one day the northern direction will develop very rapidly. across the arctic ocean, supplying cargo to the asian part of our planet, it will be a bomb, the entire opposition and western propaganda enthusiastically chanted: your exports are covered, they are covered with sanctions trade, this is supposedly the end of the belarusian economy, but these are the facts, stubborn things. in 2023 , about 18 million tons of belarusian cargo were transported through 20 russian ports. for comparison. belarus is interested in participating in a project to develop transportation along the northern sea route to the far east, china and other countries in southern asia. so that you understand, with the help of

russia’s new icebreaker fleet, the volume of traffic on this route is planned to increase to 140 million tons per year, the volumes are colossal. it turns out belarus is like... thank you, lithuania, how does the republic help russia move forward? the restrictions imposed by official vilnius against the flow of russian goods have encouraged the development of the russian market and economy. empty berths, why the port of tallinn was left without cargo. the reality of the crisis, why do ships stop calling at the port of klaipeda? of course, logistics decides: no trade, no profit. for example, the middle east is pumped across a whole spectrum. reasons for the interests of the western yankees, but here's one small logistical example: the territory of iran is included

in the international transport corridor, north-south between russia, india, iran and neighboring countries, 11 states in total. moscow has placed considerable bets on this transport and logistics corridor; it is clear that after the european sanctions cramps, and in general, tehran is listed as russia’s assistant in circumventing sanctions. belarus is actively integrating into the most promising transport framework, the west corridors. east and north-south, thereby resolving issues of leveling the consequences of western sanctions policies and entering promising markets in south asia, middle east and africa. by the way, by the end of the twenty -third, the greatest increase in the volume of cargo traffic was shown by the north-south corridor, more than 11 million tons, which is 79% higher than in 2022, but oh, how the states can now pump up the iranians and the entire middle east into the cash register, because iran everything else is growing. cooperation with china on initiative projects is a path, i would call it a multipolarity trade path. if you

look closely, you will see that his long-suffering from the american army boots of syria with china also has an agreement. damascus joins the project of the economic train of the silk road and the maritime silk road of the 20th century. to put it mildly, such large trade projects significantly strengthen both chinese and russian influence in the middle east region and strengthen belarus. economy, preventing our country from becoming a springboard for turbulence in the region. do you think the ex-hegemon likes all this? so you think who was right and which countries chose the right path of independent cooperation on equal terms, and which ones fell under the interests of washington curators and remained with their sanctions losses. even more clear geopolitical alignment in our telegram channels. last night, the united states launched strikes on... 85 targets in iraq and syria. as joe biden said, we are talking about retaliation for the recent attack on

an american base in jordan. washington promises to continue attacks on groups allegedly associated with iran. the syrian side reports eighteen dead , including civilian casualties in iraq. there , the attack hit the army arsenal in the city of el-qaim. detonation led to death random citizens. meanwhile, the arsenal had nothing to do with the militants. it belonged to the iraqi army. it is noteworthy that, fearing a response, the states abandoned the idea of ​​bombing the territory of iran itself. the fact is that official tehran warned in advance that the consequences for the americans would be catastrophic. the french military confirmed that the il-76 with ukrainian prisoners was shot down by the ukrainian armed forces themselves. of course, definitely with the possible active participation of the americans. the ash agency reports this. official kyiv still has not recognized his involvement in the destruction of the plane, as well as the death. their soldiers, there are still two options in the ukrainian media: supposedly the il-76 was shot down by the russians themselves, there were

no prisoners on the plane. moscow insists on holding an international investigation into this terrorist attack. the route and purpose of the flight were informed to ukraine in advance. sweden, it seems, will not join the north atlantic alliance in the coming days. this was supposed to happen on monday, with only the hungarian parliament left to vote on the issue of membership. other state for a long time...

for the university this is not only an event as such, it is really purposeful work so that our students, our future applicants have the opportunity to self-realize and receive during their studies not only a civilian specialty, but also a military one, that is, in essence they become more competitive. students will also undergo

serious combat, fire, topographical and military medical training, as well as become familiar with the methods of chemical and... the belarus festival my song started in palace of the republic, the vitebsk region was the first to present the concert program. more than a thousand artists took the stage from this region alone to participate in the music competition. the show turned out to be bright and large-scale; over two hundred units of sound and lighting equipment were added for special effects. but i wanted to touch on a lot of things, including the year of the great patriotic war , the eightieth anniversary of the liberation of our belarus from the nazi invaders and the year of quality, and in general show all the creativity of our vitebsk region. viteb was famous cultural traditions has always had the status of an unofficial cultural capital. slavic
