is very special, preservation of historical continuity, respect for the traditions of the domestic chambers of the russian federal assembly, which vladimir putin focused on in his speech at the council of legislators. the head of state traditionally takes part in them, however, the current wide format is special: 30 years ago, following the results of the december elections of 1993, the federation council and the state duma. which took place on december 19, the entry into force of the new fundamental law, as well as its enormous significance, became the basis for strengthening statehood and the system of power as a whole, for restoring social stability, it was very important for a meaningful dialogue between different political forces on the main issues of the country’s development agenda, to solve the real problems that were of concern.

people have been worried about this for a while, of course, i know, there are people here in the hall who experienced all this themselves, made the appropriate decisions and can say, well, they passed these laws, so what are they? were not fulfilled, well, in some ways they were not fulfilled, in some respects they were fulfilled, however, a lot of things were not fulfilled, that’s true, gennady andreevich is smiling, i see he agrees with this, but you know what the point is, what the value of the adopted decisions, legal, constitutional amendments in 2020 were created, including expanding the powers of the federal assembly, significantly strengthening its influence and status, but... today in the hall, including the leaders elected already according to russian laws, parliaments of four new regions, which are now not easy and unsafe, and yet none of them have any doubts for whom they are working. today,

as far as i know, here with us are our comrades, the leaders of the parliaments of our four historical regions, the donetsk and lugansk people’s republics, already elected according to russian laws. based on constitutional principles, russia has managed to build a balanced system of relations between the branches of government, without - quoting the speaker of the federation council, pulling the blanket, many other countries, and the tasks that the state faces today, valentina matvienko called

tasks of historical proportions, and they can only be solved by a strong leader at the head, who is respected and trusted by citizens. a system which, by the way, unlike many western ones, presupposes direct popular expression, without intermediaries, without various electoral surrogates, the task of all authorities, our colleagues with you,

is to ensure the absolute internal legitimacy of the elections, to prevent the slightest violations. 30 years in the context of history is a very short period. but for him, russia managed to go from a weak state to the strongest european economy, which is among the top five world leaders, which, as the chairman of the state duma emphasized, is impossible, and the president’s decision to run for a new term, he called necessary, first of all for the citizens of the country, the president’s decision to run for a new term candidate for a new term, it is necessary, first of all, for our citizens, our country, and the world community that wants to live in peace, countries that want to develop and solve their own issues, not under the dictation of washington, brussels, who want to be strong, sovereign and plan their

future. our candidate, vladimir vladimirovich putin, with his service to his country and the world community, has proven that much. can be changed, but our elections were competitive, open, legitimate, i think there is no doubt about this, because the entire legal framework has been prepared. we have many tasks ahead of us, they require constant attention and effective legislative support, speaking about this at today’s council legislators, the president again reminded and emphasized that the vector should, as before, be set by understanding. common goals and fundamental interests of the russian people. only at alfabank. order a free alpha debit card, spin the reel in the app and

the stated goal, is to protect international shipping and prevent yemen's houthi rebels from attacking merchant ships. according to the pentagon, there have been more than 100 such attacks in recent weeks. and so the americans put together a coalition. it also includes great britain, france, the netherlands, canada and other countries, and is preparing to send ships to the red sea. they say this right away. does not mean that to every tanker or the cargo ship will be assigned an destroyer or a cruiser, but nato wants to provide, rather , so-called umbrella protection, that is , to prevent missile attacks by the houthis, who openly declare that they will attack ships belonging to countries that support israel’s operation in the gas strip. by the way, the united states has also already intercepted several missiles fired directly from yemen at israel, and now they want to expand the scale of action. this morning we launched

operation prosperity guardian, which involves international maritime forces. this the operation brought together more than a dozen countries from around the world. they will conduct joint patrols in the red sea and the gulf of adon. i know that you all remember the motto of our forces and are ready to act together. and it is in this spirit that all our countries, including mine, are working to protect peace in the red sea. for global trade, this also means that shipping in the red sea will become more problematic; several of the world's largest carriers have already... abandoned this route as soon as the houthi attacks began retribution in october. ships take the circuitous route through south africa, which is much longer and more expensive for 10 to 15% of global trade, including 30% of global container shipping, which is a trillion dollars in monetary terms. economists

have not even begun to calculate how much world trade has already lost, but there is a message about a serious increase in costs from the countries of the european union. are already arriving. it's important to put this into perspective, about 6 countries account for 15% of total world trade, 8% of world grain trade and 12% of world maritime trade oil trading. of the total trade volume on the red sea, ships belonging to greece, china, japan and germany account for 40 to 50% of transit. all this highlights the strategic dependence of these economies around the world.

such an armada cannot be defeated by the rebels, who are armed with some kind of drones in sandals, but the point of the operation is that so far, well, it cannot be said that they, the united states, have been able to ensure unhindered passage and completely neutralize the houthis of the country. west konstantin churikov knows what amounts are being discussed and how our country will respond. not just steal, but spend russia’s money. western countries are looking for an opportunity to justify the seizure of the assets of our central bank and put them into use. according to the financial times, the united states is privately and privately proposing to transfer

russia's frozen funds to ukraine using tranches from the world bank and the european bank. bank of compensation, which russia supposedly should have paid, but no matter how the wording was softened in washington, according to experts, such actions can only lead to a loss of trust, theft will not cease to be theft, russia will definitely respond in a mirror way, as has happened more than once, globally this can lead to a decrease in trust in those international institutions that provide such transfer, this violates. international law, in general, trust in these international institutions, as well as in those countries that initiate this, namely the usa and germany, it will be undermined, and accordingly, investors will leave these countries, respectively, less invest in government bonds, and this could potentially lead to a global crisis altogether, the american authorities

are not yet ready to clearly position themselves as... a robber, they still want to save face, at least for a while longer, they can be understood here, since internal american disputes are taking place, yes, related to the fact that, after all , the volumes of funds that were planned to be allocated for ukraine from purely american sources, yes, they are now under big question. russia will not become like the west and seize funds from unfriendly countries, there is no seizure. said presidential press secretary dmitry peskov. he noted that companies leaving the russian market are selling or transferring their assets. but let's return to our former partners. according to the financial times, the countries of the collective west have seized 260 billion euros of russian funds. most of them are stored in europe. it is noteworthy that the united states itself, according to the newspaper, froze only

4.6 billion. and germany allegedly accounts for only some 210 million, writes financial times, citing people familiar with the figures, this is the wording, yes, despite the fact that germany itself is preparing to confiscate three times more, at least 720 million euros, precisely from the frozen assets of our country, as spiegel writes, the federal the prosecutor has already submitted an application to the higher regional court of frankfurt, i will have to completely review my legislative framework, and firstly, in terms of time, this will take a lot of time. uh, months and even years, if someone takes some illegal steps, but you need to understand that then... these people are at risk our own reputation, in the future of freedom, because we understand that sooner or later they will come to power, they will raise this issue and will find out. experts

suggest that, given the budget crisis in germany, these 720 million will most likely end up not in kiev, but in berlin. the hole in germany’s budget amounts to 17 billion euros, which coincidentally is exactly how much it spent on supporting ukraine in a year and a half, which, however, does not interfere. german chancellor, olaf scholz, to promise kiev more and more, now 8 billion. well, if the usa, as the leader said state department press service matthew miller, there is no magic pot from which money could be drawn for ukraine, but germany apparently has it. in germany , the economic situation is now quite difficult, and this is due to the fact that most countries, in fact, the entire eurozone, are in decline.

according to experts, it’s unlikely that even half of this amount will reach the ukrainian front, but as they say, the war will write off everything, and the assets that are in bad shape will always be useful to the west. republican presidential candidate, entrepreneur vyevak ramaswame announced his refusal to participate in the primary elections in colorado. so he expressed support for his. rival donald trump. the state supreme court removed the former president from the colorado primary. the judges referred to the constitutional amendment adopted back in the 19th century. with details

anton dadykin. the colorado supreme court has banned donald trump from being included in the list of presidential candidates in local primary elections. the majority of the court ruled that the president section 3.4 amendments to the united states constitution. this section of the constitution prohibits a citizen from being elected to congress, from holding office in the federal service , or from being an elector if the said person has taken part in rebellion or insurrection against the united states. the colorado supreme court decided that trump's actions during the so-called storming of the capitol on january 6 , 2021 fit this definition, although the federal court for the district of columbia indicted the ex-president in august 2023 .

this is an absurd decision, we will do everything as much as possible, to protect the rights of colorado voters, if necessary, we will abolish the state's primary and use a national party system to allow voters to choose their candidate. the fourteenth amendment was ratified in 1996 and covered the confederate supporters of the south in the civil war. it has never been used against a former president in history, so even the colorado supreme court, all of whose members were appointed by democratic governors, ruled. verdict by minimal majority, four votes against three. the colorado supreme court made a completely flawed decision, and we will quickly appeal to

the united states supreme court to overturn this deeply anti-democratic verdict. we have every confidence that the us supreme court will quickly rule in our favor and thus put an end to similar anti-american lawsuits. voter groups have tried to get trump removed from the race in the courts. his competitors in the election race within the republican party came out in unison against an unexpected legal incident. we 're going to win fair. we'll do what we have to do, but the last thing we need is judges making decisions like this.
