7:17 am
>> thank you. our armed forces have gained huge combat experience. units great together. we have seasoned who take carer soldiers, who know how to reach their objectives, how to reach their new types of equipment and how to carry out objectives given to them and it goes for all the levels from a platoon to the highest levels of leadersh. we understand there are still problems but at the same time
7:18 am
we understand what has to be done and we on resolving these issues both at home and on the front lines. we own to make our armies stronger, make it more efficient, more technologically capable. we have multiplied the capabilities of our armed forces. our armed forces t initiative. they are on the offensive in a number of directions liberating new territories. we weren't the ones who started donbas but as i've said on many occasions we will do everything to put a end to it, to eradicate ni-is through, resolve all the tasks to reach all the objectives of the special military operation, to defend the sovereignty and safety of our people. our strategic nuclear forces are ready to implement their capabilities.
7:19 am
what we have planned in the defense area, what i ske about, we've done everything, hypersonic missile encompasses, not been introduced to the armed forces already, it is been introduced to keep the strategic objectives during the special military operation. hypersonic missile complex has also been used. five years ago, we've not even heard about this complex but now we are to use this ap we have intercontinental long-range missiles aven guard and laser complex in our armed foes, we are finalizing the testing called the missile to be highly efficient.
7:20 am
they prove to be unique and it is not an exaggeration to say that. these missiles were delivered to the troops and soon we will demonstrate them. we continue to work on a number of other adv we will learn about the new accomplishments of our military, engineers, and scientists. i would like to emphasize the following, i would like everyone to understand me in the right way, we are dealing with a state where the ruling elites are openly hostile to us. to cast strategic steadily with us and ernest at the samtime, they want to deal russia strategic defeat on the battlefield.
7:21 am
i can give you one example of such democracy. recently we often hear we plan weapons in space, and these kind of fake news is just about trick to drag us into negotiations on their conditions that would be beneficial only to the united states. at the same time they are blocking our initiatives, the draft project to stop the deployment of weapons in outer space that we have drafted in 2008 and we received no reaction. what they are talking about. we have every reason to believe the words of today's american authorities about their interest about strategic stability is nothing more than
7:22 am
empty words before the presidential election in the united states, they want to show their citizens and everyone else that they are still the ones who rule the world and where it is beneficial for america to negotiate, they will speak to russians and where it's not beneficial to them, they do not want to discuss anything. selves, business as usual so, our position is clear. if you want to talk responsibly about the important issues about the stability of the entire planet, it must be done in congress including all those aspects that concern our nation and have direct impact on the security of our country, the we understand the west wants to drag us into an arms race, that
7:23 am
they used in the 1980s with the soviet uni. i would like to remind you, in 1981, 1988, the military expenses of the soviet union were 13% of gdp. our goalúc is to develop our military technical complex to develop scientific and industrial potential. we need to be rational and disturbing resources and we need to build an efficient economy of the armed forces. we would like to make every rebel stand as efficient as possible, to develop infrastructure in other facilities and reach new level of technological capacity, speaking about the organization, suppliers of the unmanned aerial vehicles to the
7:24 am
electric, electronic warfare complexes and other types of equipment. we need to strengthen, a strategic area for us to neutralize the threats caused by of the nato eastwards when they drag swede alliance. the west continues to live through their teeth without any shame, they say russia plans to attack europe and we all understand it makes absolutely no sense and at the same time they themselves are choosing targets to deal strikes in our territory and they are trying to choose the most efficient ways to deal us damage, they
7:25 am
are speaking about sending to ukraine nato contingents but we all remember what happened to those who send contingents to the territory of our country but the consequences for this potential invaders will be much more tragic. >> they should understand sooner or later that we also have weapons that can hit targets on their territory. and they are scaring the whole world, this really threatens a conflict using nuclear weapons and that means destruction of civilization. don't they realize that?
7:26 am
and these are people that didn't go through ordeals, we, even today's generation have come through such ordeals when fighting international terrorism in the caucuses and now during the conflicts in ukraine, the same is happening, they think it is all some cartoons or animated movies but what can we say? russian phobia like any racist ideology or ideology of national supremacy your exclusivity blinds. it makes one insane. the actions of the us and their satellites, european security spanning risks for everyone. we need to work in the foreseeable future to shape a new circuit of fair security
7:27 am
and we are ready for negotiations with all countries and blocks. let me emphasize once again, i think it is important for everyone, without a sovereign, strong russia, no firm world order is possible.d we aspire to the efforts of the world majority responding to global challenges including the transformation of the world economy in world markets, when as are stereotypes related to them. in 2028 considering the countries that recently joined the block will account for 37% of the world's gdp while the g7s figure will go below 28%
7:28 am
and these figures are very convincing, a dozen years ago the situation was quite the opposite. these are the trends, the global trends there's no getting away from, they are objectives the share of the world gdp, and the g7 in 1992 was 45.7% and even without its an organization back then but the countries responsible for 16.5% and now in transit to the g7 figure is 30.3%, is 31.5%.: by 2028 the situation is goi y towards 36.6%.■
7:29 am
for the g7 the forecast of 2,028 is 27. 8%. %. there is no getting away from that. it is objective reality. whatever may happen evening ukraine, this is how things are going to be. together with our friendly states will continue to create an efficient, safe transport build a new global financial ll agendas especially given the fact the west has discredited their own currencies and financial systems. we and our partners interact from the principles of equal gh equality, and fairness including other unions involving russia. , we see a great future in building great eurasian partnership, and
7:30 am
integration process in the eurasian economic union and the build one rounded initiative. g positively. the russia africa summit became a real breakthrough with africa's voice getting louder and louder. we sincerely support the long relationships with great civilizations in the middle east. we think it is important to find new points ofrparts and the same on the latin american side and ask the government to increase financing for international programs promoting russian language and the multinational culture especially in the world
