good afternoon the analytical project “current microphone” is on the air of the belarusian radio and tv channel belarus24. journalist evgenia meleshka welcomes you and introduces our guest today. this is ruslan shkodin, colonel. member of the house of representatives of the national assembly, member of the standing committee on national security. good afternoon. good afternoon, evgeniy. good afternoon, dear radio listeners. let's start with the fact that on july 10 , 1994, this is a very significant day, the first president of belarus was elected in a brutal struggle. at that time there were five candidates for this post, alexander lukashenko won.

it was the head of state who supported the russian people. i also remembered that the president was directly from the people, that is, he, as he himself said, from sokha, this was also such a key moment, probably why the belarusian people supported alexander then grigorievich lukashenko. well, by the way, i will say that it is unique now, yes now, and the latest results.

installation of additional cameras is provided, lighting lamps and others, and also the united states, just yesterday allocated a loan of 2 billion to poland to assist in the launches of american weapons, well, ukraine, our southern neighbor, the uk supplies it with 90 high-precision missiles, 10 self-propelled artillery units, a quarter of a million ammunition, but not not to mention the fact that...

but in the west they believe that, after all, belarus is not a very strong adversary, as it seems to me, they believe, well, the army is not so numerous, and our troops do not have combat, real combat experience, so here is ruslan nikolaevich, do we have enough strength and skill? resources in order

to prevent aggression against our country, well , i would like to start with the fact that... over the many years, over the thirty years of this existence, and peaceful, calm, yes, there were tense moments, but they usually concerned us we remember that at first we started a program that 30 years ago a president was elected, but times were not calm, but we first began to restore the economy, then we fought organized crime, then we actively fought against corruption. that is, we were always in such tension and while we were busy with our internal affairs, without even thinking about some uh, let’s say, foreign policy also developed with a lot of effort, because only belarus was created, it’s a very young state, here in this is the time that - let's say,

such an organization as nato did, yes, after the warsaw pact ceased to exist and promises were made that nato would not ... expand to the east, we quietly, let's say, maybe not paid attention or we didn’t pay enough attention to this, but we will only talk about our closest natural neighbors, in 1999 poland joined nato, which means that in 2004 lithuania gradually joined nato, then latvia, and in 2008, accordingly, the first active steps begin... to accept our brotherly people of ukraine, well, naturally, the government of ukraine, not the people, also to join nato, we are dealing with purely peaceful issues, defining, that is , we initially identified an army, about 65 thousand, and

first began to form it, improvement, development then improvement, that is, we are engaged and we, let’s say, abandoned... weapons, removed tactical nuclear weapons from the territory of the republic of belarus, so we assumed that we would engage in peaceful work, interact with neighbors, with countries, with everyone in trade, in the economy, that is , in principle , there was never any talk of any, let’s say, military attempts on our part, we never strived for this, and literally until almost this year we complied with everything, let’s say .. .

migrants, well, of course, we understood that this was a pretext, and then, accordingly, we saw

the build-up of various, various groupings of troops in the territory assigned to us, which means that the armed forces of the republic of belarus, of course, left us with a fragment from the soviet army, from the belarusian military district, it was necessary to remove the military units that we did not need, to assemble the military units in that composition, of course , divisions and armies were no longer needed, yes, that is, it was necessary to work with the organizational structure that was done, it was necessary to work on the direct deployments, where it is beneficial for us to have military units, and where they are not needed, where to transfer...

period, here are all the innovations that were, let’s say, the manifestation of innovations in the course of combat operations, they were analyzed, and what was acceptable to us, of course, was implemented. into training, into combat training, the formation of military units and units of the armed forces of the republic of belarus, that is, we did not isolate ourselves, and despite the fact that this is a classic, and without classics you can’t go anywhere, we did not, not only studied soviet textbooks on the soviet school, although this is a very serious and good school, i say again, you can’t go anywhere without the classics, but we introduced new methods of conduct, let’s say, we trained personnel, using the experience of armed conflicts,

a strategic partner of the russian federation, but we we are very actively studying the experience of conducting combat operations , including the armed forces of ukraine, because we need to learn, if there is something good, we need to take it from everyone. of course, it was a sensational case, but, let’s say, it had a very positive effect when vag group instructors were brought in to train personnel. who directly shared their combat experience, because at one time we

had people who went through afghanistan, they passed on this combat experience, but of course , over time - almost all of them went into the reserves, so this was also, say , the unique experience that we could gain and disseminate - respectively, throughout our armed forces, and the armed forces of the republic of belarus - systematically conduct... exercises, training, exercises in various scales, combat readiness checks, including surprise combat readiness checks, participate in combat readiness checks in anti-terrorist exercises, and the personnel of the armed forces are trained precisely enough to ensure the security of our state, we can often hear the opinion that what is your army in relation to belarus, well...

there will be a very serious mobilization reserve, these are those military personnel who have completed compulsory service, they are undergoing compulsory service, that is, they

are serving, but this service is in reserve, they assigned to military units, they are assigned to units literally by name, if necessary , mobilization is provided, and the armed forces will grow exponentially, then it developed with us, and we were the first in the post-soviet space to take experience from us. namely the territorial defense system, which is actively used now and, as we see, by both the russian side and the ukrainian side during a special military operation, we were the first, i want to draw your attention, who began to develop the territorial defense system defense, this is also, let’s say, one component that strengthens, literally last year we got seriously involved in the people’s militia, these are those people who, for some reason, cannot join the armed forces due to their condition. precisely to protect the country in the people's

militia, and many laugh, but i compare, i say, don't smile, that the republic of belarus, it will be like a hedgehog-bristle, if we deploy the armed forces, deploy the territorial defense of the people's militia, and just ride here like at forty first year. it won’t be possible in 3 days, because we have learned lessons from the great patriotic war, of course, what specifically affected us hit us very hard, and as i already said, we are learning. lessons from those armed conflicts that are currently taking place, and all armed conflicts, and of course we have a joint group with the russian federation, but if the belarusians themselves cannot cope, because we know that nato is not needed, the enemy cannot be underestimated, this is very serious an organization with a serious potential

for weapons and personnel, then of course , that’s why there are military blocs as well. then we have a union state, within the framework of which we are developing a joint group with the russian federation, joint exercises are also conducted, that is , various issues are being worked out, regarding, i draw your attention, the defense of our state, there have been no offensive actions even once, as long as i served, the group has never practiced during exercises, but god forbid that we didn’t have to bristle, as you said, hedgehogs,

how realistic is it that, at the direction of the west, ukrainians, ukrainian troops, ukrainian special forces can take some active, provocative actions? well, if we talk about the border with ukraine, here we probably need to link it up, let’s say, together with ukraine,

we need to link poland too, because... according to our general staff, along the perimeter of the two states, on our border, there are 10 battalion tactical groups, nato - this is 20,000 people, combat vehicles, bradleys, howitzers, m777, which means installations, cheetah, haiermars, which means that about 15,000 people are now concentrated on the border of ukraine, these are mechanized formations, and what, let’s say, is especially concerning is a special purpose unit, we all know that for what are the special purpose units intended for, taking into account the fact that, let’s say, the military leadership of ukraine has enough problems in the immediate combat zone, a mystery remains, taking into account, again,

the special purpose units, well maybe. always go from the worst scenario, which we can assume that the enemy will act towards us, in relation to us, there could be, let’s say, provocative actions, taking into account special forces units, with access to the territory of the republic of belarus, this is impossible rule out, given the fact that reconnaissance is actively underway,

people transporting explosives are detained almost every week. cartridges, explosive elements, as the president voiced, somewhere this could be for transit to russia, there are caches on our territory, in the border area, border guards when they work, and that is, if we link it all together and watch the actions of, let’s say, certain units of the so -called russian volunteer corps from the territory of ukraine to the russian territory.

you can consider the issue of such provocations, you can consider the issue of diverting the forces of the russian federation from the immediate zone of the north by doing this, that is, this option also exists, but of course, what is the intention of these actions, well, they know, probably a limited circle, a circle of people who are in the united states of america, first of all, and then, well, then in the general staff of ukraine, because everyone. it has long been known that western analysts and military experts, not even russian, not ours, recognized that ukraine is a project of the united states of america to, let’s say,

counter the russian federation, it is just a tool, well, testing some scenarios, testing its weapons, so i think it’s clear that this will not be advertised, but i think all those, let’s say, innovations. which weapons are being developed by nato countries, the united states of america, you can be sure that all of them are used, let’s say, for testing in ukraine, this is clear, ukraine is a very good testing ground now for testing various weapons, but we remember , like yeah, ambra tanks. abrams, what kind of advertising there was, how much pathos there was in it, well, but now the same western gunsmiths and the military have admitted that it

needs serious improvement, well, at least, in order to use it on ours theater of military operations, so i think abrams is not the only weapon, maybe these are isolated types of weapons, but i am sure that they are used there and, let’s say, they are being tested. ruslan nikolaevich, we just talked about... intelligence, you are a famous blogger, tiktoker, you have a huge number of subscribers, it would probably be appropriate in this

regard to ask you, who and how create fakes, why? well, now you correctly said that it is impossible, let’s say, to separate the information war. accordingly from direct conduct of hostilities, but thank god, in which we are not yet participating, literally in recent years there have been a lot of definitions such as proxy war, hybrid war, hybrid aggression, and of course, all this will be worked out in a complex, well, let's do it again let's go back to ukraine, because this is a very good example for analysis, because not everything happened not in the year 14, even, as many say, it all started in the year 14 with an attempted coup, but no, it all started after the collapse of ukraine,

if we don’t even take that soviet period , these rotten bits of banderaism, which, unfortunately, the soviet government did not, let’s say, destroy then, they sprouted there, even quietly in soviet times, they sprouted very much... and blossomed in magnificent colors after the ninetieth year, when universal democracy, universal brotherhood, equality and so on began, but let's remember a little earlier, we found the time when we were directly taught that everything soviet is bad, everything western is good, even to the point that even it was a shame for young people to listen to soviet music, because it was an information war, it started against us a long time ago. accordingly, ukraine was prepared for this precisely morally, psychologically, pressured, educated, through the same fakes

that...

the level of fakes is embedded in their consciousness, so let’s just say what harm can be done to turn the whole worldview of an entire nation upside down in historical terms a short period of only 30 years, you can say yes, to such an extent, and this is a big threat, these are fakes and they are beneficial, answering your question , of course, to those who oppose to use their own selfish goals, the fakes poured into

ukraine played with... ukraine now has its role, that is, the united states of america is at war with russia through the hands of ukrainians, the usa seems to be on the sidelines, that's all . thank you very much, ruslan nikolaevich, for this conversation, for our conversation, we talked today about national security, about how the state provides for him, her, and i think that we belarusians can be sure that...

peter kupriyan fought in the war since 1943 partisan detachment, home of the brigade rout. in the first battle with the nazis, he got himself a weapon. the young partisan collected important intelligence

data by penetrating garrisons. the occupiers took an active part in the rail war. for his courage shown in the fight against the fascist occupiers, he was awarded a medal to a partisan of the patriotic war, second degree. in july of forty-four, when the red army expelled the nazis from belarusian soil, peter volunteered to go to the front as a private in the third battalion of the 53rd motorized rifle brigade. twenty of the ninth tank corps, a young soldier died on november 2, 1944, covering the embrasure of an enemy bunker with his chest. this sacrificial feat helped his comrades capture an unnamed height in the distant kruna region of latvia and move on victoriously, expelling the fascists from soviet soil. eighteen-year-old pyotr kupriyanov. was

awarded the title of hero of the soviet union. posthumously. they were born in different parts of the world, my name is pavel morozov, i came to belarus from russia and act as the consulate general of the russian federation in the city grodno. i came from venezuela 8 years ago because i fell in love, my husband, andrey, is from belarus and everyone found something for themselves here. i like to be on camera, of course, because i like to show my emotions, i

like to talk, i can talk to you endlessly now, but it won’t work. each hero has his own unique story and his own view of belarus. belarus is more about the soul. it was belarus that gave me. inner happiness, spiritual harmony, belarus definitely helped me reveal my body, now i’m so comfortable, it’s like i i’m exactly where i need to be, watch on the belarus 24 tv channel, the hot harvest is still ahead, the harvest is already in my head, it’s not bad this year, it will be our gold and foreign exchange one.

in the public domain, we have no secrets from our people. on behalf of the president of the supreme council and the council of ministers of the belarusian ussr,

to fulfill the honorable duty of lighting the torch, from which the eternal flame will ignite in khatyn. no no. there is nothing more terrible than human life, the fate of the residents of the village of khatyn, 149 people were burned alive in a collective farm barn, from all people came to the edges of belarus, they brought pain and ashes with them,

i pray that if the getag were no longer executed, if we lived for a century, if there was no more getag, well, the collapse of the fascists and the one who fought. in our show, cheat sheets will not help the participants, here you can only rely on your own strength, is it true that korolevich and...

are black, an option, yes, i remember that in the middle there was really a black horse, but what other heroes do you know, alyosha popovich, ilya murovits and, good, i forgot the last one, it’s okay, he remembers about you, yes, he really was black, and it was the horse of ilya muromtsev, watch the intellectual and entertainment project, i know, on the belarus 24 tv channel

. festival vitebsk continues the marathon of events under the general motto through art to peace of mutual understanding. the opening ceremony took place the day before with the participation of the president of belarus. alexander lukashenko presented awards from the union state, and russian artist grigory. special award from the president of belarus. today , the day of the union state was held at the slavic bazaar site sco cultural summit. belarus became a full member of the organization on july 4 this year and has already hosted the first sco event. the introductory campaign in belarus is at the finish line. the acceptance of documents for universities begins today. applications for most specialties will be due july 17. we are talking about places on a budget form. then from july 18 to july 25 , domestic. exams, as for accepting documents from applicants for a paid form,

it will last until august 1, the number of budget places in universities has increased this year by more than 3.00, this applies to pedagogical, medical, engineering specialties; the entire country’s higher education institutions will accept almost 51.00 applicants. winners of international and republican olympiads, our medalists, holders of honors college diplomas, graduates of the national children's technology park , if they have... recommendations, have the opportunity to enroll without entrance examinations, one of the innovations of this year is that there are more opportunities for admission to regional universities , today there are such guys gifted and motivated, can enter almost all specialties without entrance examinations, minsk universities are the most popular specialties, the list of which includes 69 specialties, it has also expanded somewhat, the opening hours of the admissions committees are from 9:00 to 18:00 this sunday, that is... we won't have a day off. now in belarus the harvesting campaign is in

full swing. over 700 thousand tons of grain have already been threshed. more than 200 thousand hectares of early grain and legume crops have been harvested, this over 10% of the total plan. the main factor for a successful harvest is comfortable and safe working conditions. thus, every year the federation of trade unions of belarus provides assistance to agricultural workers. this includes providing hot meals, mineral water, a first aid kit, personal protective equipment and protective clothing. during the harvest period, the federation of trade unions of belarus operates a republican headquarters uniting trade unions of all sectors. this year a new practice has been introduced. now, during lunch, a health worker comes to the fields for timely delivery. examination of patients. the issue of partially reducing the cost of food is being considered, or the organization is completely or the employer is agreeing to such conditions in which he pays for food to his employees within the framework of the cleaning company. based on the analysis of the work carried out, i can clearly say that in a number of organizations

the reduction in the cost of food reaches up to 70%. a new line for the production of unique competitive products. launched at the fourth section of the sss mogilev, such stainless steel pipes in belarus are not yet produced by any enterprise, and wide range of uses from household use to industrial and food industries. the new line is capable of producing 1,200 tons of metal structures per year. it is more marginal and has good export potential. now the products are undergoing examination so that the company receives a certificate of its own production. the speed is low, but... i think that we will improve this, something will work out, we will do better, of course we will monitor and look at the quality, but in principle, we are now looking for sales markets to compete with producers of some other countries, regions and the like, well, do you think they will be able to compete, well, i think yes,

if we do well with this type of product, then we will go to the next ones and expand production, that is, the range , well, we will continue to somehow protect our market for our products. affordable medical care. belarus provides citizens with 100% access to medical services and has built a unique healthcare system that allows them to maintain health belarusians. and this is one of the priority areas for the development of social policy of our state. thus, a new clinic with innovative modern infrastructure is being built in the pervomaisky district of the capital. the healthcare facility will be designed for almost a thousand visits per shift. another clinic, only for children, continues to be built in the leninsky district of minsk, for almost half a thousand visits. it will house a swimming pool for preventive and therapeutic procedures. the new healthcare facility will be the second children's facility in the area. are being carried out our main masonry work is external masonry and internal masonry. now

we are completing the monolith and will practically begin to close the full contour. and the task next spring is to start improving the territory. around, a seven-story building is planned, 850 visits per shift, we don’t have enough clinics for this district, and just this facility will allow us to relieve the burden on the establishment of the twenty-eighth clinic and the eighth clinic. the honey harvest season is in full swing. only in the minsk region they plan collect about 50 tons. the next pumping will begin in september, and the end of the season will depend on the weather. for the most part, beekeeping in the region is carried out using the nomadic method. during the season, the hives are transported to areas with flowering honey plants. each forestry enterprise has two to five platforms, each of which can accommodate from 10 to 25 hives. in early july , bees are transported to the place where linden trees grow to obtain linden honey; in august, bees are transported to buckwheat fields, of which there are

also many in belarus. 33. happy summer, the favorite holiday gathers friends again, from july 9 to 15 , the international arts festival slavic bazaar in vitebsk will be held for the thirty-third time with popular songs, fiery dances, a bright show and the smiles of thousands of spectators, welcome to the infinity of art, look for details on the website in the official communities festival, just one chance to show your strength, i remember there that minsk was mentioned for the first time in the chronicles in 1067, maybe you in... remember in which chronicle was this very first mention? i don’t remember the chronicle. demonstrate your intellectual potential to the whole country. what does the abbreviation zms stand for? vitaly, honored master of sports. honored master of sports. the smartest and bravest gather here. do you want

to become either a physical education teacher or a dentist? don't you think there's a colossal gap between? first second, how did this happen, why is this? you get into someone else’s mouth, you drill something there, insert it, put it back, well, drill it, put it in and they give you money for it, what’s wrong with the work? i just somehow, well, don’t like them, i i prefer to think rather than do. nikita, it seems that we have increased the pace, but again there is still the same five points of lag, how will we try to reduce them, by what? this is not the time to relax and rest on your laurels, it’s time to work proactively, it’s time to understand and feel your information

enemy, and these are, first of all, the centers of information and psychological operations, which are grouped under the roof of nato, ukraine, poland, lithuania, latvia, estonia and half the world, but our main weapon is not staging and lies, our favorite methods enemy, but the truth. not defendants, alexander lukashenko very correctly said that the word is a weapon. ksenia lebedeva’s author’s view on the policy of double standards in the project is different.

watch on the belarus 24 tv channel. a native menchan goes to the village to find out why it is better than the city. this is a house that was built in parallel with the first house with which it all began here, and here i want to tell you, a corner of india, here people lie mutaska. yes, there was an idea that, as it were, so that the children did not scatter everything in the rooms and as much as possible spent time outdoors in the open

air, in general, ask them from home to go to your territory, i think that if i work, that means i’m alive, when they work, that means i’m already like that, so i’ll work and work, what- then we’ll come up with something, watch on the tv channel belarus 24. in the braslav region, the blue of the sky in the early days,

which is in the right of the racing forest, begins to grow evil, creatures and light, and the fall is known, nowadays the azers are woven with charms, they smile at the suns, look i myself am not from the pestilence, the bottom, which... is golden, pіў i pіў would be from their end, the accumulated azers, as if not bachysh.
