the share of such payments in the country's budget remains high and amounts to 66%. income tax took the leading position for the first time, its share exceeding a quarter. belarusians have become more active in paying fees voluntarily, now almost 99%. fiscal pressure on business was significantly reduced, and the number of on-site inspections was reduced. in the coming year , the department sets the task of paying great attention to attention to digitalization of the tax sphere. the past year, in my opinion, turned out quite well, the numbers speak for themselves, we fulfilled 101.4x the plan, if we talk in money, then this is more than 600 million rubles. additionally put into the state treasury, on the one hand, this is a result of high-quality, good economic performance, on the other hand, there is a significant component of improvement. improving the

conditions that we create for business, looping artesian drinking water flows around the capital, water will flow to specialized stations, where they undergo additional cleaning and then get into consumers’ taps. the facilities employ more than 300 workers and 150 pieces of equipment; in particular, specialists use rotors to create underground tunnels. it is planned to drill wells in deep water, this will raise water.

germany has cooperation in certain areas.

that we have clarified, but so far there is no significant help from them, the most effective, most fruitful, most valuable cooperation we have, of course, is with the relevant authorities russian federation. from ethnography to the present, a large museum complex was created by teachers and students of the magilev state economic vocational college. the exhibition is dedicated to the history of belarus, as well as to the educational institution itself, where specialists are trained for many industries. in total, the new museum has 26. a special place of tragedy and genocide of the belarusian people during the great patriotic war. this is a joint project of the college and the prosecutor's office, among documents, photographs, memories of witnesses and personal stories collected by young patriots. soon another hall dedicated to mogilev will be opened at the college.

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 what happened. escalation of the already tense situation in the middle east. the drones were launched from iraq. responsibility for the attack on the americans lies with the iraqi islamic resistance group, kataib hezbollah. 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 cloud. terziu said that bucharest could lay claim to a number of territories in western 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 to and continues to belong to the romanian nation must return to the borders of the state. having made such a loud statement, the politician heads the alliance for unification. ukraine will be defeated and will finally lose 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 chairs at the beginning of last week , information appeared in the ukrainian media that president zelensky fired the commander of the armed forces, valery zaluzhny, by decree. a few hours later , the president's office verified these messages. but, as journalists managed to find out, zelensky really tried to get rid of the commander-in-chief, who was popular in society, but

the hostage refused to do this in his favorite way, forcing him to write a statement of his own free will. moreover, he leaked the details of the incident to the media. for subsequent days, information about the conflict between two key 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 continue to cover him up. without abandoning the course of confrontation with russia. in general , 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 at the front and the need for extremely unpopular mass mobilization, she returned to ukraine. internal squabble. not a trace remained 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". according to the torment of alexei tolstoy. maslenitsa is a holiday of catching the sun. they

conjured him with round dances, then ate his image and pancakes. as you can see, the slavs have always aimed very high in their worldviews. and the topic of our program today will be the union state of belarus and russia. his story was full of suffering, but and of course, the desire for high goals. like from a project in which there is little at the first stage. who believed, considered it to be a round dance on the island of the ussr, but what came out was integration that actually worked in the interests of the two peoples, we will discuss today. participating in today’s program is vadim franzovich gigin, general director of the national library of belarus, chairman of the board of the belarusian society of knowledge, hello, hello, dmitry aleksandrovich egorchenkov, political scientist, director of the institute of strategic research and forecasts ruden. hello, hello, and also to us.

held a meeting of the supreme state council of the union state of belarus and russia, the agenda

included issues of integration interaction not only, and minsk and moscow closely cooperate in a variety of areas. the results are impressive about the achievements and 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. the presidents of belarus and russia arrived together at the konstantinovsky palace, vladimir putin for...

and this is in the context of sanctions pressure on belarus and russia. special attention was paid to discussing the assessment of the implementation of 28 union programs. within the framework of the union state , the legal and organizational foundations of a common economic space have been created and conditions have been created for the implementation of a unified macroeconomic and monetary credit policy. thanks to the successful completion of twenty. eight sectoral union programs , russian and belarusian legislation were unified, the legal and organizational foundations of the general economic space, conditions have been created for the implementation of a unified macroeconomic and monetary policy, for joint work to minimize damage from illegal western

restrictions. at the meeting of the supreme state council , the heads of state also sat shoulder to shoulder, which once again ... emphasizes the country’s friendly relations 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 television channel. i think if we will create a normal media holding, taking into account trial and error early on, especially experienced russian specialists who have gone through this. 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 - to 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, quite clear prospects.

main directions of activity of the union state for 2024.

prime ministers roman golovchenko and mikhail mishustin, deputy prime ministers alexei averchuk and nikolai snapkov reported at a meeting of the supreme state council last monday. and therefore why do experts, good ones, not very deep, large-scale ones, or people who are just entering

this expert meeting, try to ask us questions, linking operational ones.

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. a lot has been done, but it is not at all this means that this is a response to western pressure, an accounting, yes, a forecast of the situation, yes, but strategically, everything is fundamental.

over the centuries, russia and belarus have passed the test of time, the most important exam that the peoples of belarus and russia, the peoples of the soviet union, passed.

the so-called assembly shop, because the level of education of people who worked primarily in the production sector was very high; the conscientious, hardworking belarusian people did a lot to ensure that the potential of the soviet union grew and multiplied. today is being formed the practice of economic integration of belarus and russia on new principles, the results are obvious today, and this cannot be heard or seen even in...

and russia is trying to take the best experience and share its own. thank you. dmitry fedorovich, thank you very much for taking the time to join our broadcast. well, we continue our discussion. natalya yuryevna, for ordinary people, videos from high- level meetings and dry statistical data say little, but few people see the success of union integration recently in precisely that assistance provided by the republic of belarus. provides to the civilian population of donbass, tell me, how do you think this support for the fraternal country is assessed by ordinary donetsk and lugansk residents, and what do you see the role

of the enterprise, the organization of belarus? lukashenko also visited several industrial enterprises, met with the government of the republic of belarus, in fact, in continuation of this visit, we also had a meeting with the chairman of our government and the delegation from the donetsk people’s republic to the republic of belarus and also met and already discussed specific directions for 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, they will supply us with silos for the construction of elevators, quarry equipment, belarusian tractor buses, interesting for us, construction tiles, products, furniture, wallpaper, were also discussed today the donetsk people's republic supplies sunflower seeds, and is also preparing to supply grain, class, that is, we are already cooperating on in many areas and belarusian companies are already present on the territory of the donetsk people's republic, many of them are interested in the localization of production, including on the territory of the donetsk people's republic, because let me remind you that we have a free economic zone in accordance with federal law, and today of course this interesting for enterprises of the republic of belarus

, including, that is, this... taking into account the services, plus or minus a couple of billions, this seems to be really not much, but these are quite significant figures, but i would i also said about cooperation with new regions, i personally had to see belarusian goods on the shelves of donetsk and lugansk stores, and the price, now the new year holidays have died down, here in lugansk the famous soviet champagne, which is produced, in minsk, the price was about the same just like in belarusian stores, on the streets of the restored

mariupol, we have already seen a new one. lubricants that are involved in construction and removal of construction materials there, well, in clearing the rubble that is there, that is, quite a lot present, even to me, women in the lugansk people’s republic, government employees expressed, they say, that’s why in donetsk there is a whole store of belarusian goods, but we don’t have enough of them, even moreover, i’ll say, some are already of their own production, how fashionable it is, we are not very happy with this, they pass it off as belarusian, for example, advertising...

russia's trading partners are in the top four, this suggests that the presence of belarusian goods on the russian market is very serious, but as for who is very worried depending, let him look at... the percentage of trade turnover between canada, 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 by his own will, he does not want to see our goods on his market, although we have trade turnover and in recent months it has even been growing, he does not want to see our goods, does not want to see russian ones, naturally we are strengthening this mutual connection, but what else?

especially these are cooperative ties, that is , joint production, exchange of parts , related ties, we come to the point of producing, for example, some kind of product, not necessarily of the military-industrial complex, although now this is important, the same mas, mtz, some russian goods in modern electronics, up to 70 regions of the union state are involved in production, up to 70, this shows how strong a connection we have now established in our trade cooperation.

yes, dmitry alexandrovich, indeed the scale is impressive, but you know what i would like to discuss with you: when the project began , many talked about the asymmetry of integration, this is how, in your opinion, it is possible to smooth out the difference that objectively exists in the scale, territorial, scale and size of the population of the same, well, first of all , i would certainly argue with the phrase that in the beginning no one believed in the project of a union state, faith was enough, in russia and belarus from the very beginning there was faith in a union state, it was already there at the time of the formation of the union state quite obviously, another question is that there was no understanding, but how

it will be built, how it will work, what principles will be inside, as you quite rightly noted, how the system will be built, an impermissible system of checks and balances, let’s call it that, yes, in which may be there. not so as not to repeat, for example, the experience of the same european union, where today we see processes associated precisely with the fact that the centers of the european union, de facto, colonize the small states of the european union, and yes, this causes completely obvious social outbursts, that’s all, yes, when they say that the union state is developing slowly, such a thesis is quite common, that look how much time has passed, which means you are still moving towards the construction of a union... state , perhaps this is the answer, but 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’s all done normatively, yes, but very carefully verified so as not harm neither one side nor the other side, so that this is fully consistent with what today is commonly called the sovereignty of the parties, right? chains, cutting off trade, trade and economic cooperation and cutting off access 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 the idealistic position of the west and this approach of russia. including production facilities of the lugansk people's republic, donetsk people's republic, zaporozhye and so on. by the way, i am absolutely convinced that the interaction between belarus and the new russian regions will also be built not in the format of assistance, as you rightly said, in the format of mutually beneficial cooperation, because yes, indeed in the new regions there is a lot that can happen, for example , grapes and cherries don’t grow so well in belarus, but tell me if we compare example. with the european union, and the union state envisages

a single currency in the future? i think this is a natural development, another question, again, everything will be fine in time, when both sides understand that this is not, this is not in the application, it must be done, because it must be done, because this is a populist move and good, people this may be accepted, and what will be the consequences, are economic systems fully ready for this transition, why is this being done, is also important, yes, if today there is no bilateral interaction is not hampered by the lack of such a joint currency, otherwise it may not be worth it for now, we’ll see. here i completely agree with these assessments, there is no need to artificially designate any problems, so we think: yeah, here is a union state, what should be? well, here’s a united one, listen, we don’t have a united army, but the degree of interaction between the armed forces is such that we don’t need this united army, we have very serious mutual assistance here.

look at the criticism the russian central bank is subjected to in connection with refinancing rates and so on , the process of dedolarization is underway, the process of building is underway.

and here it closely resonates with politics, based on the results of the supreme state council and the implemented programs, we do not see any infringement of the sovereignty of each of the participants, we are not even talking about the delegation of sovereignty at this stage, for example, if we compare with european integration , there is a priori a state, especially at this stage, that declares accession to the european union, even at the application stage, it is being deprived...

i think that here we can not only talk about this hypothetically, because a certain interest in this interaction was expressed at those meetings that i spoke about above, with the head of the republic and with the chairman of the government, and work is already underway in this direction certain work, that is, the presence of belarusian companies on the territory of the donetsk people 's republic, including clearly manifested in the interest in using our port, and i think that we will... in the near future we will see a concrete manifestation the results of this activity in this direction as well. thanks a lot. dmitry alexandrovich, if you have anything , please add it. it’s not just that alexander grigorevich lukashenko said that in dialogue with my colleague vladimir vladimirovich putin we walked from south to north. he

practically said with a refrain that this north-south corridor involves the participation of russia and belarus as important parts of this corridor. this is one of the megaprojects of the 21st century, which is being implemented economically, including, and of course, within the framework of this huge logistics rivers, as they say, yes, the formation of a belarusian hub of someone like that and on the black and azov seas looks quite logical, i would like to answer one more point, to note economic integration.

joint, one of the important, one of the important documents signed, the strategy of scientific and educational cooperation, extremely important, in the conditions that we are talking about today, it sounds like a refrain everywhere, and the geopolitical situation pushes us to ensure that more and more to be more active in this, therefore for me personally, as for a person who has been involved in science and the humanities closely and for a long time , including with the participation of belarusian...

a quarter of a century, in my opinion, even older, maybe there is a union state, this is a television and radio association , newspapers, but here it is important not to destroy the already existing strong positions, well , to increase, especially on the internet, in audience coverage, but the media holding is very closely related to what dmitry spoke about, the sodiological component, we don’t talk about it often, let’s say it right here , why do for a long time, our union building was hampered because, unfortunately, in the government offices, first of all, russia, but also belarus. no longer the head of the presidential administration, but a very influential person in moscow circles, who directly torpedoed the idea

of ​​a union state, simply with his crazy concept of a liberal empire, where let’s build businesses here, create one... these are all centers of influence , actually pro-western agents, for almost 20 years prevented the normal development of integration,

implementation of the main provisions of the treaty on the union state. and the twentieth year in belarus, the 22nd year of the start of the special operation in russia, allowed us to actually carry out a revolution from above within the framework of our integration construction. this was the demand of the people , but it was slowed down by these agents.

this is the dominant position of the united states of america for a long time in the international arena; it was largely based on a system of alliances and partnerships with dozens of states. dmitry alexandrovich, these are what perhaps the lessons should be learned by the union state, and is there a goal to scale and develop? i think that in this case the united states can only give us anti-lessons. that’s because the whole entire system of unions , which are conditional, as the americans themselves call it, it’s of course a union, it’s conditional,

it’s a tributary relationship, yes, at best, yes, it’s not exactly a client structure rather than an alliance. the united states is openly almost declaring that it doesn’t need allies in general, they need rather, these are obedient executors of their will, and despite the fact that this will, it is broadcast, well , maybe not always with the united states, but... for example, britain, yes, mr. cameron recently announced that we will determine , what the structure of the new state in palestine will look like is unexpected, he said, yes, it seems that almost a century has not passed since britain lost the status of the holder of the mandate for these territories, yes, that’s why we need to study here as soon as possible what not to do in relations with one’s partners and allies, yes, allied relations are always built on mutual consideration of interests

, sometimes even to some extent at the expense of part of one’s own interests, sometimes this is also required in allied relations, this consideration leads to the fact that between real allies, allies, firstly, there is always an open dialogue, and secondly, no one imposes anything on anyone,

operations, ukraine, part of ukraine, will be integrated into the union state? let's first distinguish between two concepts here: our president has repeatedly spoken about this, vladimir vladimirovich, that we are not conducting a special military operation against ukrainians as such, we are conducting a special military operation against the neo-nazi kiev

regime, which today has essentially captured normal ukrainians. yes, what they do , of course, they do things that are completely cynical, crazy in their scale, they literally reflash from infancy, from a very young age, they teach schoolchildren an absolutely perverted history, given the how much time it takes, that is, we can already talk about a whole generation of these young people who today absolutely do not know their roots, do not understand. what brotherhood consists of, they don’t 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 completely absent, they are told about this exclusively from all tv channels, by the way, let me remind you, yes, that the so -called the democratic regime in quotes now i say, destroyed absolutely everything

opposition parties, absolutely any other point. view of what is happening in the form of the absence of any tv channels , media that could take some kind of objectionable position to the kiev regime, so these people are deceived, of course, they will return, they will return in the sense that in any case, when fulfilling our goals for demilitarization, denazification, of course they will know reliable history, b - reliable facts, from the reality that is actually happening now, because there is an impression, let’s at least one fact let's take this, which clearly demonstrates and illustrates the perversity of logic, since 1914, the ukrainian authorities, the kiev regime, have been telling us that they are fighting in donbass with russian troops, with the russian regular army, and not with the civilians of donbass, not with the militia, but with

the russian army , suddenly in february of the twenty-second year they began... in principle, and so in absolutely everything, therefore , that is, there is no logic as such; of course, we must return these ukrainians to reality first of all. thank you great, we will be glad to see you again in the program. vadim frantsivich, at some point, yes, ukraine.

but it is an axiom, if you look at the publications, expert assessments already in the west, that ukraine will probably remain, but not within those borders, this is what we must fix, we must return ukraine to its normal state, but it will no longer be within those borders , both vladimir putin and alexander lukashenko spoke about this, there was a chance as soon as they were elected, look, every president of ukraine came with a huge chance for peace, moreover, he came with this program, poroshenko in 1914 came with what program, he said, i am the president of the world, what did he do?

question, what will be the future of ukraine, feel no difference what happened, here is a member of nato, this is our position, at least neutral, and secondly, but we must not forget, yes, these people are crushed by repressions

, threats, but we we are well aware that in the territory that is under the control of the kiev regime, there live people who sympathize with our union, the same people there who believe that if ukraine joined, it had this chance during the time of kuchma. once included and were naturally given to ukraine. dmitry alexandrovich, in your opinion, when will this day x come? do you think the territory of ukraine will remain in the form in which we

know it at the moment, or, in addition to the ukrainian authorities, special negotiations and sharing will begin with their other allies . let's be realistic.

say, to earn the right to join the union state, to show that it 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, indeed now under the kiev zelensky regime think that they do not support this nazi regime , but they will still have to make efforts for... serious promotion of our union project, but our two leaders urge never to rest on our laurels, not to become complacent, we need to move on, there are still unresolved problems with the formation a single oil and gas market, energy resources , what we said here, financial and credit systems, every citizen of belarus and russia should know what the union state gives him, what these priorities are, the fundamental question, thanks to the union state, we should all become stronger, this is already happening, but...

class over national, and one can say differently, the caretakers of platinum underestimated the power of water. the former president of ukraine is probably right, but what are the consequences of the supremacy of nationalism over economic logic, interests of ordinary people in ukraine. a destroyed country and a poor population. and fortunately, for the belarusians, the local caretakers of platina kept it in working order and did not let emotions and illusions destroy what was created. 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.

live panorama, in the studio elena sacheva, hello, and the joint release of belazov before interaction in healthcare and the agro-industrial complex, the leaders of belarus and uzbekistan discussed ways.
