training conducted jointly with our tactical nuclear weapons countries. colleagues, showed the high readiness of our military personnel, their highly trained ability to perform these tasks. therefore , we need to state the fact that today we are ready to use these weapons when necessary, but it is better, of course, not to come to that. nato expansion is not an isolated case of deception. the united states, as a key country in the alliance, has this position. historical experience only says that they have always been partners for us, but friends have questions, but this is probably different, i was ksenia lebezeva with you, see you in the next program.

in money terms this is an increase of one and a half times; in physical volumes this is an increase of 140%. and it would seem how to grow to such a high plank, well, the first months of this year show that this is possible, in fact there is still a huge amount of reserves, in the first 5 months we have plus 7%, plus 1 billion, even to those high figures of last year, if we look at commodity positions , well, why did we add it? that is also a very interesting, one might say, motley picture, different industries in our standings, competing somewhere even with each other, show good results among the leaders, right among the current leaders, these are bg cars, our mas trucks, mas very actively began to sell its trailers, a very serious addition, our

car builders, taking into account the huge need of the russian market for new cars. the car manufacturer is now in third place in terms of doubling the volume of deliveries of belarusian cars to the russian market, and last year i told them that taking into account russia’s large-scale plans for the development of north-south corridors for the development of the eastern training ground, the need will only grow, grow, but at the first stage of sanctions there was a problem with trolleys with some components, even at the presidential level this problem was discussed, now it is...

understands the moment, so well, the task is to look partners virtually on a daily basis. yes, you said that today we need to take advantage of the moment, yes, time has probably set us the task of minsk and moscow to carry out , under the conditions of sanctions, a coordinated policy on import substitution, we are building a unified industrial policy, these are the projects in which we have succeeded together and allied machine tools, our famous minins, developments in the space industry, maybe they can already be...

to the capital, you are absolutely right, in general the task has been set so that in this integration growth, which i spoke about at the beginning of the medium-term, medium-term horizon, the share of tourism, the contribution of tourism is serious, we carefully call 5-8%, but here at one of the last meetings with maxim stanislavovich oreshkin, he generally sees that tourism should provide the main supplement for russia; it has its own big program, recently.

now we are developing a pool of proposals, there will be flights and suburban connections, for example, we were in smolensk recently, this is our vitebsk-smolensk train, for example, orsha, we are also restoring its service, for russian tourists, in addition to sanatoriums, this is in addition to medicine, this is a good, well-known, branded topic for belarus, of course, a huge request. now for event tourism, a huge number of such unique, one might say, targeted offers for different tourists, different categories of tourists have now appeared and many companies, by the way, new ones have appeared, young girls, young guys , well done that they are doing this, it’s really a niche, the niche is simply fantastic now, and it often happens in russian regions, russian cities,
