has fired more than fifty rockets into northern israel and is announcing new attacks. the number of victims of a gas explosion in nizhny tagil has increased to 20 people. and in today is russia's airborne forces day. and we begin the release with footage from the kremlin. vladimir putin held today. meetings with permanent members of the russian security council, the event was held in a videoconference format and at first the president indicated the topic of conversation was international, today we have several issues on the international agenda concerning our country, our interests, the speakers are, respectively, the minister of foreign affairs and the director of the foreign intelligence service, but i i would ask you, in addition to the planned issues, to discuss stop at the most current events. everyone

of late, let's start working, please, lavrov, sergei viktorovich, i ask you. russia will present state awards to everyone who returned to their homeland as a result of the exchange. vladimir putin announced this the night before at vnukovo 2 airport, where he personally met the now former prisoners of nato prisons right after the loss of the plane. the president assured that the country did not forget about them for a minute and thanked those directly involved for their loyalty to duty and oath. russia tu-204 from ankara lands at 22.

a few hours before ankara airport, on board a special russian detachment in complexity and scale, the exchange is unprecedented, this did not happen even during the cold war, 26 people were agreed upon, at least seven countries participate in the exchange: russia, the usa, germany, slovenia, belarus, poland and norway, and turkey acted as a mediator. a large bus is visible through the sultry haze.

having waylaid the bandit, he fired a clip from a glock at him, and then fled on a bicycle. all these years, the russian was kept in solitary confinement in the berlin tegel prison. as he was told lawyer, the prisoner spent 23 hours a day in his cell, no outside contact, no communication with other prisoners. at 15 o'clock, a walk in the yard surrounded by barbed wire was considered especially dangerous, here is the one whom the german authorities did not consider dangerous, the peaceful and friendly zelimkhan. riot policemen, in june 2004 with basayev, attacked the city of nazran. according to russian

intelligence services, he was involved in the murder of more than 200 people. vladimir putin also told the american journalist tucker that khangashvili was a cruel executioner. and then cars drove over their heads, what kind of person is this and is it a person? well, there was a patriot who liquidated one of his european capitals, but he did it on his own initiative or not, that’s another

question. utrap putin shook his hand and hugged him. everyone goes together to the terminal, the delegation reception hall, here... addresses everyone who, having gone through difficult trials, returned home with dignity, the country, of course, did not abandon them. first of all, i want to congratulate you all on your return to your homeland. now i want to address those of you who is directly related to military service, i want to thank you for your loyalty to the oath, your duty and reason. a spanish journalist with russian roots, pavel rubtsov, was detained in poland and accused of

espionage, roman seleznev was kidnapped in the maldives and transported to the usa, he was charged with cybercrimes, then seleznev was just over 30, but he was already serious. he was allegedly involved in illegal purchases of electronics for the russian military-industrial complex. the us claimed that he was a russian intelligence officer. the americans brought vladislav klyushin to them from switzerland, they wanted to accuse in the notorious election interference. the accusation fell apart and was charged with illegal enrichment on the stock exchange.

mikhail mikushin returned to russia after being detained in norway in 2023. the authorities of a nato country considered him an illegal intelligence officer. colossal complexity. the exchange, of course, also lies in the fact that such an operation requires multi-stage coordination with all countries and the consent of all governments and departments. the german prosecutor's office, for example, was against changing vadim krasikov, but the ministry of justice made a different decision. in the end, they are home and that's the main thing. the president, after publicly congratulating them on their return, spoke with them separately, without television cameras. evgeny rashitnev, vitaly kormazin, ivan malyshev, konstantin veselov and nikolai zakharov. news. a large-scale exchange of prisoners between russia, belarus and western countries is the main news in the world press today. american publications unanimously call the exchange historical. cnn emphasizes that it was preceded by many months of difficult negotiations. the zeit publication claims that

representatives of the intelligence services of russia, germany and the united states began discussing the exchange last spring, their first meeting took place in iriad. sky news calls it a prisoner exchange. that russia and the united states, in spite of everything, are capable of conducting a dialogue, and a fruitful one at that. at the same time , the journalist from the reitor agency emphasizes that most likely it was a one-time deal, it does not mean anything. that tensions between the united states and russia will subside. the independent newspaper writes that the release of wall street journal reporter gershkovich, who was convicted in russia of espionage directly or indirectly, is connected with election race in the united states. journalists call this a victory for the democrats in their confrontation with the republicans. as the guardian recalls, donald trump said that he would release gershkovich as soon as he won the election, but the biden administration fulfilled his election promises. however, everything is far from what is now being presented in washington with a refutation of

the white house version of biden’s diplomatic successes, alexander lukashenko spoke a little over an hour ago. the president of belarus said that biden is on this story, quote, gaining his authority, in reality he had nothing to do with organizing the exchange. lukashenko also confirmed that minsk pardoned a german terrorist as part of this operation. to help moscow negotiate the release of the russians. and as the kremlin just reported, vladimir putin called alexander lukashenko and personally thanked him for his assistance in organizing the exchange. the recent history of russia and the west is the largest agreement between the intelligence services, and those whom our country handed over to the west. in report by dmitry melnikov. in violation of his own daily routine, which does not involve such late events, president biden still. arrived at the andrews military base to meet this plane from ankara. kamala haris is here, and she, as

a presidential candidate, needs the laurels of the savior of american citizens much more now. she deliberately interrupted her election campaign for these shots, but biden does not intend to share the glory yet. from the very beginning, he emphasized that the exchange deal with russia was his personal merit. three us citizens. at this moment, the white house is already convening the press for an emergency statement from the president, next to biden are relatives of us citizens released as part of the exchange deal. similar deals. nothing is more important to me

than protecting americans at home abroad, which is why we will continue to work for the release of all illegally detained americans around the world, this deal would not be possible without our allies germany, poland, slovenia, norway and turkey, all of whom have stepped up and were with us. however, the current big deal with russia, the biden administration itself has already made it a major factor in the election fight. presenting the exchange as the liberation of americans, germans and russians from captivity. the american press does not even mention the reasons why these people were detained and convicted in russia. for example, not a word about the fact that wall street journal reporters detained evan gershkovich in march 23 in yekaterinburg, when, on instructions from the cia, he was collecting information about the work of russian defense enterprises, in particular the ural carriage plant. gershkovich was interested information about the company's work schedule. paul

willan, a career american intelligence officer, in russia, which he regularly visited, willan tried to recruit employees of the ministry of defense and the fsb, while observers are wondering what is connected with such an unprecedented prisoner exchange, the white house is already answering: it’s all about personal merit leaders of the current administration. and president biden and vice president harris have made the return of wrongfully convicted americans an absolute priority. what exactly is the merit of kamela haris in the case of prisoner exchange is a big question. however, in the election race, everything goes into the piggy bank. she even turned her short comment immediately after the first messages from ankara into a pre-election speech. as vice president, it was an honor to work in boocock with our president joe biden to bring home. and we will never waver in our commitment to bring home every

american who has been unlawfully detained or detained. at the same time , washington does not hide the fact that in order for the exchange to take place, they had to put pressure on official berlin, 13 people were immediately sent to germany as part of this operation from russia. chancellor olaf scholz arrived to greet the plane at cologne airport. at the same time , germany of the russian vadim krasikov is officially. in close and trusting cooperation with the united states and european partners, after months of confidential negotiations with the russian side, it has now been possible to achieve the release of people who... were illegally imprisoned in russia as political prisoners. russian diplomats in the united states we remind you that there are still dozens of our compatriots in american prisons, and russia will continue to make every effort to release them as soon as possible. dmitry melnikov and pavel kostrikov, news from washington. negotiations on the exchange of prisoners

between the fsb and the cia required delicate chains of international interaction. about this today. told in the kremlin. as the press secretary of the russian president dmitry peskov said, it was possible to return our fellow citizens to their homeland largely thanks to a tough position vladimir putin. at one time, peker carlson asked during an interview to extradite the americans who were in prison at that time. but he spoke mainly about geshkovich, and he then said: “give, give me these americans of ours as a gesture of goodwill.” then putin answered him that there were gestures of goodwill here. it can’t be, when they give up our people, then we can talk about it, this is such a tough position, it still yielded results, our people returned to their homeland, the winged infantry of russia is celebrating a professional holiday today, ceremonial events in honor of airborne forces day are held throughout the country, so in the capital after

the service in the temple of the prophet elijah, the conqueror of the air force, there was a celebration. ability and safety. and, as airborne forces commander mikhail teplinsky noted in his congratulations, during the northern military district, seventy soldiers were awarded the title hero of russia, and more than 71,000 were awarded state awards. and in the caucasus, in other theaters of military operations of our time. and, of course, during

a special military operation, the paratroopers showed and show the beyond courage. readiness. to self-sacrifice and the highest professionalism. congratulations on airborne forces day are also accepted by the units that are currently performing tasks in the special operation zone, including the ulyanovsk paratroopers, who are now fighting militants as part of the dnepr group of troops. from the kherson region, report by our war correspondent mikhail andronik. the enemy is in every basement, enemy drones are overhead - exclusive footage that no one has seen until this moment. ulyanovsk paratroopers together with other units, they knock out ukrainian mercenary fighters from the krynki, one of the most significant operations of this year in the dnieper region. oh, got it, clearly, there is one. with a well-aimed shot from a machine gun, a paratrooper shoots down an enemy quadcopter. tankers from the ulyanovsk airborne brigade are working in those houses where the infantry has not yet reached, literally preventing the enemy from raising their heads. there's

loads the projectile, the other gunpowder, the third works with the bolt, the fourth monitors the sight, so the driver who delivers ammunition in the army urals... ammunition has a second, no less important task, the driver’s biggest danger is drones that can figure out your technique and also pursue, that is, if you are not so attentive, you can bring this drone to a position and thereby burn the position, which will be fraught not only for you, but also for the guys who are in the positions, every 152 mm the shell weighs 42 kg, it’s a man’s hard work, and despite such loads during battle, the paratroopers find time and energy to train. mostly young people do everything. in the mornings we even have a trainer, he is already a man. he also does it, he squeezes out the time for any young man. compound airborne troops, during a special military operation, always arrived on time in those sectors of the front where it was necessary to quickly turn the situation in our
