and and yes, yes. russia continues to hold the world leadership in sanctions. at the moment, look, the west has imposed 18,772 sanctions against our country. this is twice as much as iran, syria and north korea. in total, these three countries have accumulated only 8,316 sanctions. but if the united states only benefits from restriction, then europe, dancing to the american tune, primarily harms its citizens. within six months, a decline in the eurozone economy is predicted, which means an inevitable recession. for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic. about the influence of western the president was also asked today about sanctions on the russian economy. as putin noted, the sanctions showed that the west’s dependence on russia is greater than russia’s on the west. and on this occasion, putin said: we didn’t joke, but the fact is a fact, we are growing, they are falling. as a result, the economy of, for example, germany is...

receives from the eu, but the farmers' strike, which representatives of other professions have already joined, can greatly influence the policy of scholz and his party, including in relation to zze, but so far the chancellor is not bowed, despite the fact that the farmers have their demands, and this, i remind you, is the resignation of the entire government , demands 69% of the inhabitants of germany, the money is 8 billion euros, as you know, scholz... has already transferred 480 million euros to zelensky, that is, to his farmers, 480 million euros, for the war with russia, for the maintenance of ukrainian trousers, no, he gave it, these are the priorities, so that we wish good luck to german farmers, innkeepers and machinists, they went on strike today, which means that along with the autobahns, the railways will also be blocked.

such a tractor consumes 20 liters of diesel per hour, however, german farmers are not going to save on fuel these days; with long convoys blockading highway entrances, they make it clear what their opinion is. about the scholz government, which wants to cut subsidies for diesel fuel, and this is not just a protest, this is an open confrontation, in response to the demand of farmers , the scholz government must resign, not only farmers want to vent their anger, but also artisans, logisticians and...

the berlin-brandenburg trade association is sounding the alarm. for example, today the shelves of 200 berlin supermarkets may be lowered. the general director of the association, nils bush peterson, warns. the reason is the tractor blockade in grosberren. the state of brandenburg, due to which the work of a major freight transport center stopped. the industrial and warehouse area is completely blocked by farmers' tractors. as a result, employees of none of the sixty companies using the services of the center were unable to enter the complex, including representatives of such large german supermarket chains as peni, lidl and aldi. other farmers complain that money is being sent to ukraine instead of being spent wisely by farmers here helping their own government.

denis exhibition about the successes of the revival of liberated mariupol. in kiev, of course, there is hysteria; bandera’s followers are afraid of the truth, like the devils of ladan. god forbid, the europeans show that they are not ukrainian predators and war criminals, and the russian occupiers are restoring donbass and returning people to a normal peaceful life. as a result, the ukrainians managed to push through the mayor's office of modena. and she revoked permission for the exhibition. the speaker of the ministry of foreign affairs happily reported on this.

its supporters, despite attempts to verbally distance themselves from fascism, support such demonstrations, and before everyone openly praised musalini. we conclude: europe is returning to its roots before our eyes. all the imaginary post-war education, which according to the idea that was supposed to forever cut off europeans from the nazi legacy went to waste.

italy was shocked and outraged on tuesday after hundreds of people surrendered. greeting at a rally in rome, it sparked widespread condemnation and calls for the country's far-right leader to take action. hundreds of people give the forbidden salute at an event on sunday commemorating the murder of three young men and neo-fascists in the italian capital in 1978. the ak-calorentie killings, as they are called, are commemorated annually, but the public display in this year, the apparent lack of police intervention drew criticism from opposition lawmakers. this is an unacceptable shame for european democracy. the people in the video stand in at least a dozen rows, led by a voice shouting off-camera, raising their right hands in a salute that dates back to the regime of benito musalini, italy's fascist dictator. according to italian law adopted after world war ii, the use of fascist symbols , including straight-arm salutes, is prohibited.

rome january 7, 2024, but it feels like this is 1924. tomorrow we will ask the minister of internal affairs a question about what happened is unacceptable. the rally took place in front of the former headquarters of the post-war neo-fascist party called the italian social movement, which gave rise to the brothers of italy party, which... is now headed by prime minister giorgia miloni. miloni took power in 2022, giving the country its most right-wing government since world war ii. in her youth she praised musalini, but has since changed her position and said that there is no place for nostalgia in her party on fascism, racism and anti-semitism. the video drew condemnation from a major group of national jewish communities in europe. absolutely disgusting, hundreds of fascists in black shirts gathered for a rally in rome, where they saluted alduce. a fascist salute, this gesture belongs to the darkest chapter of our history, and should be

left there. a new hot spot has appeared on the world map. a criminal riot on a national scale has broken out in hot ecuador; local criminal gangs are trying to seize power in the country. they so numerous that they can support their own army. armed bandits take over police stations, prisons, shootouts with the police and the regular army. tried to take student teachers hostage, about 50 people were killed, another 150 were captured underground at metro stations, the metro was stopped, tct television was attacked, an armed crowd broke into the studio live, masked people threatened journalists with weapons, then handed out... the broadcast is interrupted. in these frames the host of the analysis show, jorque estevis

, asks president daniel nabo to contact the police and save him along with his colleagues, crying and on his knees. the tv channel building was eventually unhooked by special forces, an assault ensued and the bandits could not resist. chaos in the country began after two of ecuador's most dangerous bandits escaped from prison within a few days of each other. the president of ecuador announced. a state of emergency for a period of 60 days, a temporary ban on public meetings and a curfew in the country, members of armed groups were equated to terrorists. the regular army was ordered to neutralize all the bandits who started the riots and took people hostage. in response, in several captured prisons, prisoners began to demonstratively execute guards. there are photographs of a hanged man in uniform and a video in which... guards are shot at the los chchoneros group, the president of ecuador is threatened that the reprisals

will continue if he does not abolish the regime of internal armed conflict. tanks have been deployed to the capital, argentina has declared its readiness send security forces to ecuador.

panic also began at the university of guayaquil, following reports of armed men on campus. meanwhile , the president of ecuador led a regime of internal armed conflict and mobilized the military for the purpose. quote:

a series of explosions occurred in cities throughout ecuador. walked into a police car as a wave of violence swept the country just hours after the president declared a state of emergency amid the escape of los choneros gang leader adolf massias. the government is fighting at least twenty-two different criminal groups that have been angered by the state of emergency. adolfa massias is one of the most famous gang leaders

in ecuador. his group is believed to be behind deadly prison riots in recent months. it's truly chaos. the president declared a state of emergency lasting 2 months, as well as a night- time curfew. this happened after inmates staged riots in six prisons across the country. riot. the riot led to the escape of crime leader hase adolfo massias villamar, also known as fita. the signing of this decree allows authorities to conduct search and

rescue operations in an attempt to track down this most dangerous ecuadorian criminal. he is the leader of... chanaros, a very large and powerful criminal community, he has power not only in the country, but inside the prisons. many people ask whether a group was involved in the escape? according to authorities, the group is involved in extortion, murder, trafficking drugs and a variety of other crimes. authorities say the group controls ecuador's main prisons. this is a very serious security crisis and fit's escape is a shame for a president who only took office in november promising to put an end to the crime." between rival factions, and this often led to truly bloody massacres in prisons, according to authorities, 400 prisoners have died in such clashes since 2021, similar violence occurs not only in prisons, but throughout the country, all this due to the cartels fighting for

drug trade routes to the usa and europe. sweden suddenly began to prepare for war with russia, this conclusion can be drawn from the statement of the minister of civil defense karl oskar bulin. he is confident that a war could break out in the country and we need to start preparing right now, both at the municipal level and at the individual level, that is, enroll in the military defense and begin to study the experience of ukraine. that is, putin, according to the swedish minister, will try to attack sweden, with which we do not even have common borders, until it becomes nato member. at the same time, the head of government , christerson, said that sweden’s natural place is in nato. therefore, the country will not wait for the final ratification of its membership in the alliance. right now he will send troops to latvia, where he will join the deterrence forces that should repel a possible russian attack. nato recruit finland is also strengthening its positions. the government of the country will not open

checkpoints on the border with russia after january 14. about it. there are not enough experienced sailors, two military the ship had to be decommissioned; british defense minister sheps proposes mothballing two more. moreover, there are no commanders , and of the highest rank, it has reached the point that the rear admiral who will lead his majesty’s nuclear fleet in battle is being searched on the internet, and this is not a joke, the london times calls such recruiting absolutely shameful.

here's some news for you, and this is not british humor at all, but reality. the british royal navy is looking for a rear admiral ready to lead a fleet of nuclear submarines. on the site linkedin, a social network for recruiting employees. fleet representatives posted a vacancy with a detailed description. the applicant will become one of the main architects of the british deterrent force. among the proposed tasks are classified secret and elite ones. this has its reasons, in the late

nineties, after the collapse of the soviet union, all european armies reduced military budgets and the size of their armed forces, which is why, after the campaign in afghanistan and the iraq war in 2003, british troops faced an extremely strong decline its combat effectiveness, it was an absolutely incredible political and military mistake. defense costs were so enormous that the government of that time decided to radically reduce the size of the army, its weapons and the military budget. since 2010, for a dozen years now, the british army has been in a state of constant decline. let me remind you that a few months before the start of the war in ukraine, the british decided to mothball their tracked vehicles. in fact, they sent her to the reserve and it became impossible use. against the backdrop of the loss of combat effectiveness of other armies, the british army, unfortunately, lost. most. on the other hand, this is extremely surprising. we, of course, understand that the british have problems with personnel and recruitment capabilities, but here we are talking about a key figure, because

the position of commander-in-chief of the troops, at least in france, requires a four- five-star general. this is the highest position. that is, we see that in their army they do not have a problem with hiring personnel, but a problem with finding a commander-in-chief, problem with personnel selection. and then we understand that they could not even foresee this. this is simply amazing. the main reason for the transfer of sailors to other ships is the shortage of these same sailors, they simply do not have enough people for these ships.

the royal navy is recruiting leadership, the royal navy, without whom we would not be the dominant world power we once were. when elected politicians rule a country, they don't think long term, they think until the end of their term and think about the next election. they treated the navy like it was just another job, but i will tell you that a skilled and capable sailor gets paid the same as someone who flips burger patties at mcdonald's, but is expected

to represent his country at a high international level in a difficult global environment. another piece of news from ecuador that we can’t help but mention is laughter and sin, but banana supplies are carried out as planned from ecuador. this was confirmed by all trade associations. let's move to the front. alexander peskunov is in direct contact with us, war correspondent arte. alexander, hello, listen, well, we are already tired of reading, probably you too, the headlines of western newspapers that just about, almost on the fifteenth, the russian army will march on kharkov. where do legs come from? are there any prerequisites at the front for such actions of ours? evgeny , hello, hello, studio, well , as i understand it, they have intelligence

work there in the west, i don’t know there, our chief of the general staff reports directly there, he gives out all the dates, since they are right on the 15th mean that we will take kharkov, well , kharkov, firstly, is quite a complex operation to conduct battles. for such a big city, and in order to move to kharkov you still have to walk many, many kilometers, that’s why all this hysteria about the fact that the russians are about to march on kharkov, i think this is part of the series, help the hooligans are depriving them of their sight, this is another attempt by the ukrainian regime to beg for money, which they have recently stopped giving, to beg for weapons, that’s why i’m so far. i'm in control of the situation, i don't see there are no prerequisites for the fact that here we are preparing for some kind of offensive operation in the kharkov direction, yes , combat work is going on in the kupyansk area there, and

the guys are moving. they take positions, they carry out the assigned tasks, but there is some kind of big global offensive, well , i don’t see the prerequisites, as for other directions, let’s say, well, the same marina, if you take it, there is movement on the flanks, combat work is underway now after the new year holidays and after the weather more or less settled down, we of course had a lot of snow here. it fell and there was freezing rain, that is, the weather made some adjustments to the fighting , but now there are serious battles in the marinsky direction, ours, we are trying to improve our position on the flanks, that is, we have advanced along the marinka, in the direction of kurakhov, and in order to protect the units that are moving there along marinka need to align

the flanks, now work is underway to... threaten the groups in ugledar, so accordingly we are making the task of liberating ugledar easier for our troops who are operating directly in ugledar direction, that is, we enter from the north, cutting off the supply routes. if we advance there, the enemy begins to feel sad in ugledar, in principle they are not very happy there anyway, but this will complicate the situation even more for them, so far this is the information on these directions, this is what concerns the kherson region, here i literally arrived from there the day before yesterday, in this rain, this wind, and snow. and i was driving

and a car arrived there, like a big caramel, all covered with ice, i must say the guys i drove with were black sea soldiers, marines, no matter what the weather, they are carrying out a combat mission, here in the area of ​​the krynoks, and the fact that the enemy there is saying that we don’t have the strength to fight there for these krynoks, well guys, well, we actually gave them the opportunity to land, krynoks, well, in my opinion look, it’s like...

that the ice will rise, because now is just such a period, frosts have arrived, and the dnieper usually freezes when the minus temperature remains stable - for 10-15 days, now the frosts have just arrived, and the enemy is counting on the fact that now we have the dnieper will freeze and as soon as we run, we will run , as soon as we defeat the russians, so, but we must understand that the frozen dnieper is not thick ice,

there is 30 centimeters there, which... will allow us to transfer heavy equipment, yes, but let the infantry pass, well, maybe some cars, but no more, again, our command, understanding this, is naturally preparing, and even if the enemy there tries to make some kind of attempt to move there to the crimea, then well, our defensive positions will be pleasant for the enemy, an unpleasant surprise, that's why that it’s enough... we have competent military men in that direction, i said , just the day before yesterday he said with the marines, yes he says, they say, yes we say we control their every step, he says, birds fly here, artillery fires, well, let them try , which says, as they say, hunting is worse than bondage.
