hello, on the air of the program sas is authorized to announce, i and the presenter nadezhda sas, i greet you, i remind you that this is a program for those who want. it is better to understand what is happening and understand how these processes, events, people will affect the life of the country of each of us. we will tell you about the main events of world politics this week right now. on the night of january 28, an unmanned aerial vehicle struck a us military base in northeast jordan. dozens of people were injured as a result of the incident. three servicemen could not be saved. the american channel cnn called the incident a serious escalation. tense situation in

the middle east. the drones were launched from iraq. responsibility for the attack on the americans lies with the kataib hezbollah group, which is part of the islamic resistance movement in iraq. earlier , us president joe biden said that washington would respond to an attack carried out on an american military base on the border of jordan and syria. speaking in the city of iasi, romanian politician claudio tarzio said. that bucharest can lay claim to a number of western territories ukraine. moreover, romania is even ready to leave nato if this is necessary for their accession. bessarabia must return home. northern bukovina cannot be forgotten. southern bessarabia, hertsa county, transcarpathia, everything that belonged and continues to belong to the romanian nation must return to the borders of the state. the politician who made such a loud statement heads the alliance for the unification of romanians. party. which took

fourth place in the last parliamentary elections. similar statements were made in hungary on the same day by the leader of one of the parties lasla torodskaya believes that if ukraine is defeated and finally loses its statehood, budapest may begin to lay claim to transcarpathia. in addition, claims to the still ukrainian lands are heard in poland, where they are called eastern lands. at the beginning of last week in the ukrainian media. information appeared that president zelensky dismissed by his decree the commander of the armed forces valery zaluzhny, a few hours later the president’s office verified these reports, but as journalists managed to find out, zelensky really tried to get rid of the popular commander-in-chief, but to do this in his own favorite way, forcing him to write a statement of his own free will, the hostage refused, moreover, he leaked the details of the incident to the media. over the following days, information about the conflict between two... top

figures in ukraine hit the front pages of leading western publications, which indicates that the elites of the united states and europe are tired of zelensky’s methods of rule and are not going to further cover him up, without abandoning the course to confrontation with russia. generally it is clear that the conflict between the president of ukraine and the commander of the armed forces of ukraine has not been resolved; on the contrary, it is only beginning to grow. against the backdrop of failures in the front and the need for extremely unpopular mass mobilization, internal forces returned to ukraine. there was no trace left of the former ostentatious unity in the face of an external enemy. i would like to start today’s discussion with an extraordinary quote from the novel walking through the torments of alexei tolstoy. maslenitsa is a holiday of eating the sun. they conjured him with round dances, then ate his image of pancakes. as you can see, the slavs in have always aimed very high in their worldviews. and the theme of our program today will be union.

the state council of the union state of belarus and russia on the agenda included issues of integration interaction, not only minsk and moscow are closely cooperating in a variety of areas, the results are impressive about the achievements of the plans, we will tell you in more detail in our story.

a meeting of the supreme state council of the union state was held in st. petersburg, and the presidents of belarus and russia arrived at the konstantinovsky palace together. vladimir putin is driving. problems and work on the asian continent, especially in africa, where we are called, a whole range of issues from south to north. according to the results of 11 months of last year, trade turnover between the two countries increased by almost 9.5%. and this is under conditions of sanctions pressure on belarus and russia.

special attention was paid to discussing the assessment of the implementation of twenty-eight union programs. within the framework of the union state , legal and organizational foundations have been formed. at the meeting of the supreme state council, the heads of state also sat shoulder to shoulder, which once again emphasizes the friendly relations between countries and close cooperation. the belarusian and russian media pay a lot of attention to it, and soon a union

media holding will appear, a unified coordinated policy will be ensured by two weekly newspapers, a weekly magazine and a television channel. i think if we... create a normal media holding , taking into account the trial of mistakes before, especially the russian specialists who have gone through this, it will be a good holding. in fact, a meeting of the supreme state council of the union state, a meeting of the political establishment of belarus and russia. even if the mission is not easy, resist sanctions and other attacks from the west and, at the same time, move integration forward to new records. but there are forces, ideas, resources, and along with them there are quite clear prospects; the main directions of activity of the union state for 2024-2026 are aimed at further intensifying interaction in various fields.

dmitry fedorovich mezintsev, secretary of state of the union state of belarus russia, is in touch with us right now. dmitry fedorovich, hello. dmitry fedorovich, you know better than anyone. internal kitchen functioning of the institutions of the union state, observed their evolution, overcoming emerging difficulties, there is an opinion that the geopolitical situation, and specifically the start of a special military operation , brought belarus and russia closer together and forced minor contradictions to be pushed into the background to focus on truly important unifying points, here do you agree with these assessments? it would probably be strange to count? that the pressure we are experiencing, we are belarus, russia, with side of the collective west , this is the only factor that determines our rapprochement, as if there was no union treaty, which turns 25 this year,

as if there was no decision of november 4, 2021, long before any attempts to speculate, including on special military operations by the west. when 28 union programs were presented as an interconnected, large-scale, meaningful integration document, the implementation of which was reported to the prime minister.

but strategically no one is ever under i simply did not question the system of relations between belarus and russia, as fraternal countries and as fraternal peoples, but today the pressure that we are experiencing forces us to more quickly, more accurately and clearly look for practical answers in real sectors of the economy, and, probably, increasing cooperation , yes, identifying new logistics routes for the supply of belarusian goods through the baltic ports and through... yes, today there is more successful work on import substitution, on the formation

of production chains, excluding more and more and more elements of unnecessary competition. yes, the supreme state council has just made a decision confirming the new practice of industrial policy. avoiding the formation of barriers and transition to a barrier-free environment for the supply of components from russia to belarus and from belarus to russia. made. and the relations between russia and belarus have stood the test of time for centuries, the most important

exam that the peoples of belarus, russia, the peoples of the soviet union passed is the victory in the great patriotic war, which they are trying take away from us, break monuments, erase memories, tear out hearts, it won’t work, it won’t work, it won’t happen, as alexander lukashenko likes to remind, it is the basis of all government processes.

will be included, will the personnel be formed in a 50/50 ratio from russian and belarusian media workers, and most importantly, when we see the first broadcasts of the new tv channel, i will be extremely grateful to you for exclusive information, the decision has been made to create a media company of the union state, tv channel print media

information and, of course, a resource center for the formation of internet... content: the russian and belarusian sides will interact with each other, form personnel, a model, prepare the charter of an autonomous non-profit organization, they will form a creative concept, they will discuss it, this is under supervision , control, interaction of the ministry of digital development of russian media, ministry of information of the republic of belarus, open work, work. creative means not without controversy, work to achieve results, of course, the most optimal and reasonable use of the budget that will be determined within the budget of the union state. don’t worry, if the media holding is for the people, then no one will hide anything and no one wants to hide anything.

good luck to everyone, we will work in partnership with media campaigns from belarus and russia.

this means that on april 18, 2023, the departed head of the republic visited the republic of belarus , met with alexander grigoryevich lukashenko, and also visited several industrial enterprises, met with the government of the republic of belarus; in fact, as a continuation of this visit, we also had a meeting with the chairman of our government. and delegations from the donetsk people's republic to the republic of belarus and also met and discussed specific areas of interaction, so this is what they are already expressed in, an agreement has already been signed with amkador, there is already interaction with the first belarusian industrial company, they we they will supply us with silos for

construction of elevators was also discussed quarry equipment, belarusian tractor buses, under the sunflower, we are also preparing to supply fourth-class grain, that is , we are already cooperating in many areas and belarusian companies are already present on the territory of the donetsk people's republic, many of them are interested in localizing production, including on the territory of the donetsk people's republic republic, because let me remind you that it works for us.

in the cities of the donetsk people's republic of mark it is written: washing powder from belarus, i don’t know such washing powder, but this speaks of demand, this is a brand , this is a brand, yes, this speaks of the demand for our goods, not to mention that i saw , for example, belarusian in crimea , it says belarusian canteen, it says cheap, tasty, fair, that is, this is a certain brand , but we are interested in, as natalya yuryevna said, goods coming to us both from the republic of crimea and from the dpr. lpr, in general, there is no need to exclude zaporozhye region and kherson region from this list; relations with them are also very good, at least at least, we have a cultural exchange going on, and

we must move from the level of, you know, providing humanitarian assistance to full-fledged economic cooperation, as for the numbers, yes, growth, uh, our enemies helped us very seriously, and i must say, these numbers are - a major defeat for the west, one of their goals was to break the close relations between russia and belarus. they strengthened our union so much with their sanctions, threats of military pressure, and interference in domestic political life that we increased this trade turnover. critics will immediately say: well, of course, russia has now taken a predominant position, you depend on it, but this is mutual dependence, this is mutual, this is independence, this is cooperation, because belarus, imagine, here is our 9.5 million republic, huge russia, we go among the four largest trading partners. russia to the top four. this suggests that the presence of belarusian goods on the russian market is very serious. well, as for those who are very worried about addiction,

let them look at the percentage of canada's trade turnover ratio, which for a second is part of the big seven and the united states, i may be wrong in the details, but their trade turnover is more than 70 percent, that is, it is quite natural if the european union itself, by its own will, does not want to see our goods on its market? although we have trade turnover and in recent months it has even been growing, they don’t want to see our goods, they don’t want to see russian ones, naturally, we are strengthening this mutual connection, but what’s also important is that our partners from third countries see this, and in the republic of belarus it is now firmly established in second place in terms of commodity turnover the people's republic of china came out, until recently it was ukraine, and it consistently held second place, now china, why again are we redistributing. our market , we are redistributing our commodity flows, and this is not just the supply of raw materials and products there, but this is very important at the level of interregional cooperation with russia, especially

cooperation ties, that is, joint production, exchange of parts, related ties, we get before producing, for example, some kind of product, it is not necessary military industrial complexes, although this is important now, the same mass, mtz, some russian goods in modern electronics. up to 70 regions of the union state are involved in production, up to 70, this indicates how strong a connection we have now established in our trade cooperation. alexander lukashenko expressed his point of view about successful economic integration, we will hear a direct speech right now. at the end of the twenty-third year, we will update the historical maximum of trade in goods and services. in 10 months the figure was higher

40 billion is the answer, and how is it possible to maintain this balance, a very careful , very step-by-step process of taking into account the interests of coordinating positions, and not declaratively, and then it is all done normatively, yes, but it is very carefully verified so as not to harm anyone one side, nor the other side, so that this is fully consistent with what today is commonly called the sovereignty of the parties, yes, well

, everything there is according to... technology, this was spelled out from the very beginning in nato doctrinal documents, including, by the way, regarding confrontation with the eastern flank , as they describe it, and today we see that yes, including, not only and not in many ways, including thanks to such an idealistic position of the west, and russia and belarus are not forced to such an approach...

but they are taking advantage of the opportunity, yes, western companies are leaving, well, space is being freed up for belarusian companies, for russian companies, including production facilities of the lugansk people's republic, donetsk people's republic, zaporozhye and so on, i am absolutely convinced, by the way, that the interaction between belarus and the new russian regions will also not be built in the format of assistance, as you correctly said, in the format of mutually beneficial...

look at the criticism the russian central bank is exposed to in connection with refinancing rates there and so on. there is a process of de-dollarization, there is a process of building our relations with partners with the people's republic of china, we are moving to the rupee and with india, now in these circumstances we must organize a financial revolution, i assure you, this will have extremely negative consequences, when we mature to this, then yes and... still, we should not lose an important point here related to the financial and credit sphere, we have completed one stage of two-year integration, the stage of harmonization of legislation , primarily in the customs, tax sphere, industrial policy, 28 programs from 21 to 23, the results have been summed up, documents have now been signed for the new stage of 24-26, this is a stage in a certain area, there is no need to be afraid

of these words, unification, but unification. on a parity basis, again, here critics say that belarus supposedly accepts the conditions of the russian federation, this is not true, if we introduce a single tax base. taxation, then the belarusian taxman sees the entire tax base from kaliningrad to kamchatka, the kuril islands, and the russian one sees, this actually creates a very serious basis for the development of business, entrepreneurship for the future, this makes our entire tax system transparent, why should we in this regard not to adopt the best practices that were introduced into the tax sphere by mikhailo vladimirovich mishusin, when he headed this direction or the russian federation, we see how... industrial policy is going down, for example, issues related to state support for certain areas of import substitution, we started this work earlier, 10-15 years than in the russian federation, we see how they accept these practices, that is, this is a mutual

process, a fundamental issue of our integration, parity grounds, regardless of the size of the territories, population and other things, and this benefits both the russian federation, and the republic of belarus, and that... closely resonates with politics, but based on the results of the supreme state council and the implemented programs, we do not see at any point an infringement of the sovereignty of each of the participants, we are not even talking about delegation at this stage sovereignty, for example, if we compare with european integration, there a priori a state, especially at this stage, that declares accession to the european union, even at the application stage, it is deprived of a significant part of its sovereignty. it gives away entire industries, the direction of our policies, especially economic, social, agricultural policies under external control, we have nothing close to that. vladimir frantsivich, and for the sake of clarity, dear viewers, let us show you a schedule of imports, sports,

please, natalya yuryevna, one of the important aspects of union integration was interaction in the field of port activities due to the unfair restrictions imposed by the european union. a hub for the creation in the future of the belarusian transport sea of ​​azov in the dpr. yes. well first of all we are talking here about the port of mariupol, as i understand it, and if we are talking about the reunited regions in general, then this is also melitopol, and i think that here we can not only talk about this hypothetically, because a certain

interest in this interaction was expressed back at those meetings that i spoke about above, with the head of the republic, with the chairman of the government, certain work is already underway in this direction, that is, the presence of belarusian... companies on the territory of the donetsk people's republic, in including, of course, the interest in using our port, and i think that in the near future we will see concrete manifestations of the results of this activity in this direction as well. thank you very much, dmitry alexandrovich, if you have anything, please add it, and not just like that, alexander grigorevich lukashenko said that we were in dialogue with my colleague vladimir vladimirovich putin. from south to north, he practically said with a refrain that this north-south corridor is russia’s participation in it, belarus, as important parts of this corridor, is one of the megaprojects of the 21st century, which

is being implemented economically, and of course within the framework of this huge logistics river, as they say, yes, the formation of a belarusian hub of someone like that looks completely natural. the logic of modern geopolitical logic dictates that nothing happens on its own, that this also needs to be dealt with, therefore documents were signed to create a joint media holding, and one of the important, one of the important signed

documents, a strategy for scientific and educational cooperation , which is extremely important in the conditions that we are talking about today, the refrain sounds everywhere, and the geopolitical situation is pushing us to ensure that more and more actively this and older than the union state can exist, this

television and radio association, newspapers , but here it is important not to destroy existing strong positions, well , to increase, especially on the internet, in audience coverage, but the media holding is very closely connected with what dmitry spoke about with the ideological component, so we often do not we say, let’s say right here why union building has been slowed down for a long time, because in the government offices, unfortunately, first of all in russia, but also in belarus, now we’ll clarify, he certainly didn’t say the word corrupt, but we understand what he was talking about speech, these

oligarchic structures, this will be the basis of integration, complete nonsense, but he promoted it, how many years he headed the government, mikhail kasyanov, four, in my opinion, yes, misha 2%, where is kasyanov now , what do you think, he was then was big a supporter of integration, and for how many years andrei larionov was an adviser on economic issues, 5 years, he was also a big supporter of integration, where are there more selarions, i can continue this list, we didn’t have those. it was enough, like this sucker , yes, he held a ministerial post, in our diplomatic circles there were enough such people, skeptics, as you said, all these centers of influence, in fact, pro-western agents for almost 20 years prevented the normal development of integration, implementation of the main provisions of the treaty of union state, and the twentieth year in belarus, the twenty-second year of the start of the special operation in russia, they allowed...

they are not needed, they rather need obedient

executors of their will, despite the fact that this will is broadcast, but maybe not always with the united states , for example , by britain, and mr. cameron recently announced that we will determine what the structure of the new state in palestine will look like, unexpectedly, he said, yes, it seems that almost a century has not passed since britain.. allies, yes, allied relations are always built on mutual consideration of interests, sometimes even to some extent at the expense of part of their own interests, sometimes this is also required in allied relations, this consideration leads to the fact that between allies,

real allies, firstly , there is always an open dialogue, and secondly, no one imposes anything on anyone, this is a matter of principle. position has always been, probably, dominant within the union state, it is very important that the union state creates, you know, already now in at the current level of integration, not a barrier-free environment, as they say, but a seamless environment, this is also very important, because this is very clearly visible in the media, and our russian experts are actively, more and more actively participating in the functioning. belarusian media space, belarusian experts regularly work in russia, in my opinion, we meet regularly on russian channels, here, that is, the geography is changing, but we are still the same, getting bigger, here it is also important to note that the nomenclature, let's call it that, is also

expanding, i remember how four years ago i came to the broadcasts, but there were few people from russia, but today i am like that. let me remind you that sas is authorized to make a statement on the air of the program. the topic of today's program is the union state, achieving the future. natalya yuryevna, with your permission, let’s talk in our final third block about the new union, not so long ago the president of the republic of belarus alexander lukashenko at a meeting with vladimir.

nowhere to go, yes, as you interpret for these words, can we say that upon completion of the special military operation, ukraine, part of ukraine, will be integrated into the union state. let ’s first of all distinguish between two concepts, our president vladimir vladimirovich has repeatedly said this, that we are not conducting a special military operation. against ukrainians as such, we are conducting a special military operation against that neo-nazi kiev regime, which today has essentially captured normal ukrainians. yes, what they do, of course, they do perfectly cynical, crazy in scale things, they literally reflash from

infancy to the youngest years, schoolchildren are presented with an absolutely perverted history, taking into account the amount of time this takes, that is, we can already talk about a whole generation of these young people who today have absolutely no idea neither their roots , they do not understand what brotherhood consists of, they do not understand what the slavs are in general, they feel some kind of threat from a hostile aggressive mood on the part of russia, which, which is absolutely not there, about this to them they tell exclusively from all tv channels, by the way on... i remember, yes, that the so-called democratic regime, in quotes , as i say now, destroyed absolutely all opposition parties, absolutely any other point of view on what was happening in the form of the absence of any tv channels, mass media information that could

take some unfavorable position for the kiev regime, so these people are deceived, of course, they will return, they will return in the sense that in any case. b: reliable facts from the reality that actually occurs now, because there is an impression, let ’s take at least one fact, here is a very clearly demonstrating, illustrating the perversion of logic, since the fourteenth year, the ukrainian authorities, the kiev regime, said that they were fighting in the donbass with... russian troops, with the russian regular army, yes, not with the civilians of donbass, not with the militia, but with the russian army, suddenly in february of twenty-two they began a new report.

as soon as they were elected, look, every president of ukraine came with a huge chance to the world, moreover, he came from this program. poroshenko, in 1914 , was on what program? he said, i am the president of the world, what did he do? he unleashed an even bloodier war. zelensky was elected only because he is russian-speaking, worked with russia, a representative of the south, and who promised peace , promised to come to an agreement with putin, what he did, this nit, which our president aptly called, deceived his voters, deceived.

within the boundaries it had in 1991, i say again, this is recognized in the west, now we are talking about, if there is a peaceful settlement, what territorial concessions could there be from ukraine, just feel the difference, what happened, that’s the question, what kind of future will ukraine be ? ukraine is not a member of nato, this is our position, at least neutral, but secondly, but we must not forget, yes, these people are crushed by repressions, threats, but we are well aware that in the territory that is...

ukraine, post-soviet, began in the fourteenth year with a coup d'etat, within which the people who came to power in kiev declared, and we have the right to freedom to freely choose towards the european union, and at the same time, with a second hand, they denied the right to freedom and democratic choice to approximately half of the country, yes, after which their completely meaningful crimea made the choice by holding a referendum. including after this , other regions of post-soviet ukraine made their completely meaningful choice and defended this choice with arms in hand for many years. it is now quite obvious that these the territory is already, according to the constitution of the russian federation, part of russia. in this sense, part of ukraine, oddly enough, has already become part of the union state. what

remains of ukraine is again from post-soviet ukraine. first year, probably after some time it may also become part of the union state, if this happens, we do not yet know what the general scheme of a peaceful settlement will look like, which will certainly take place, but whether they will go somewhere to romania, what -parts of this are already the remainder, yes, but please pay attention, i have come please note that the ukraine that will be new must, in principle, let’s be honest, deserve it. the right to join the union state, to show that she is ready for this, that she wants this, that she is ready to work for this, including through the efforts of those people, as was quite rightly noted, who, yes, are really under pressure there now zelensky's kiev regime, they think that they do not support this nazi regime, but they

will still have to make efforts to to become part of the union.

writes: fortunately, for ukraine and other union republics, gorbachev and his entourage remained hostages to the very end of marxist postulates about the supremacy of the economic class over the national, and one can say differently, the caretakers of platina underestimated the power of water. probably the former president of ukraine is right, but what are the consequences of the supremacy of nationalism over economic logic for the interests of ordinary people in ukraine. a destroyed country and poverty. fortunately for the belarusians, the local caretakers the platinums kept it in working order and did not allow the poems, emotions and illusions, to destroy what had been created over generations. thank you, this was the saz program authorized to declare. the union state is a factor in real politics and economics in eastern europe.

i am belarusian, i am on this cossack land, between the forests and the forests of hell, the centuries of yore lived, i am belarus, i am on this land, i am belarusian, because i am here.
