has been consistently expanded since 2013. this work will continue. what tasks need to be solved first were discussed on wednesday at a meeting chaired by vladimir putin. the eastern range is a railway network that includes the baikal and trans-siberian railways. the routes are working to the limit, they are being modernized first of all to remove bottlenecks in transbaikalia and the far east to increase freight traffic. eastern railway directions. we understand all this perfectly well, it is extremely in demand , traffic volumes have grown noticeably in recent years and continue to increase, which means that the load on highways is guaranteed for years to come. taking these prospects into account, we need to clearly define the parameters of the third stage of development of bama and transiv, in what time frame, in what direction and in what exact volume will their carrying capacity increase. during the first stage of the project

, more than 5,000 km of tracks were laid and updated, bridges, tunnels were built and reconstructed, substations and other facilities. as a result, by the twenty-first year , throughput increased one and a half times to 144 million tons per year, but the goal was slightly higher, and some work of the first stage is still ongoing, while the second stage has started, it should bring the figure to 180 million tons in 24 year, in addition to achieving the planned values...

so that, if necessary, in a short time frame at low cost, expand the capabilities of the railways. when constructing new facilities, they will not forget about the existing ones infrastructure, it must be maintained in standard condition. the president also outlined the main guideline for the development of the railway network. there should be one priority: the effective development of the railway network of the eastern range, the timely increase in its carrying capacity...

especially in the context of a reversal of supplies to the east. vladimir putin approved a list of instructions on conscription of citizens for military service. so until january 15th. defense must report on the work to register russian citizens and remove them from it without personal appearance at the commissariat. in addition, the president instructed to organize work on the formation of electronic subpoenas and provision of access to the personal account in the relevant register. the head of state also instructed to ensure the possibility of providing employers with information for military registration using the state information system. and now about the precise work of the artillerymen of the 300. forty-eighth regiment in the kremensky direction of the special operation, the vssu soldiers, knocked out from their homes, built a new dugout in serebryansky forestry hoped to gain a foothold there. our fighters thwarted these plans; using drones, they first smoked the enemy out of cover and then hit the

target with mortars. and in the krasnolimansk direction, the most fortified points of the armed forces of ukraine are being hit by crews of the heavy flamethrower systems of santsepiok of the central district. after being hit by a thermobaric projectile, assault units with the support of armored groups enter the battle. from the line of combat contact, report by alexey baranov. cloudy weather for the heavy flamethrower system sunpig, of course, it will help. low clouds make all movements of the vehicle less noticeable to reconnaissance strike drones of the ukrainian armed forces, despite this, both the march from cover to the firing line, and the deployment before combat work. the calculation is performed as quickly as possible. today , solntsepeg operates in the krasno-liman direction near the tor ledge. the heavy flamethrower system of the central military district strikes the most

fortified strongholds of the ukrainian forces, often hidden several meters underground military in the kremensk forest. the reconnaissance drone , with the help of which they discovered this enemy fortified area, records the accuracy of the hit with thermobaric shells. the next salvo hit the area where infantry and armored vehicles of the ukrainian armed forces were preparing for a possible breakthrough attempt. the work was carried out at night; it was an accumulation of enemy manpower. for the minimum amount of resources spent, more than 20 units of equipment were hit, the fire support noticed that a drone was flying after us, they began to hide the vehicle, they successfully completed the task, the vehicle safe, all people are alive, safe. after strikes inflicted on enemy positions by heavy

flamethrower systems from the sun, motorized rifle units of the central military district are sent to the front line at full speed. assault units that will have to operate on the front line, inside vehicles, on armor. during the landing of assault groups on the line of combat contact, fire cover is vital. bmp-2 suppress enemy positions while the infantry is fighting on the first line.

ukraine needs to learn to live without us money, washington has already invested enough in kiev, this is how the white house responded to journalists’ questions

about further support of the armed forces of ukraine. it is pointless to count on help in the same volume, antony blinken emphasized. for ukraine is cutting out, we have almost run out of the money we need, there is almost no time left , i can’t name the exact date, but the direction in which everything is moving emphasizes the urgency of the request for an additional budget. now the footage is from the government press service. artyom, moscow, 10 years old, dreams of meeting with a hockey club cska. i also dream of meeting with the cska hockey club. so, apparently, artyom and i will meet together from moscow.

of issues of bilateral relations, trade relations with moscow and tunisia. are strengthening, countries expect to reach $1 billion in trade turnover, traditionally russia supplies the country with cereals, ammonia, soybean oil, and from tunisia textiles, shoes, cars, electrical equipment, kuchuk, dates, fish in general, seafood are supplied to russia, but in general, the basis, of course , of trade and economic cooperation between moscow and tunisia is traditionally tourism, but it is clear that after the coronavirus pandemic this show... fell very much, now the country still expects to return to pre-pandemic indicators, and the russians are one of the most frequent guests here are on the mediterranean coast, they are of course counting on the restoration of the tourist flow, but in general tunisia pursues a very multifaceted international policy, is actively developing relations, including with the european union, with whom since 2012 it has been developing relations

on the basis of a privileged partnership, but in this partnership recently a lot of problems have arisen, so official brussels actually does not hide its intention to create here, in this part of north africa, such a hub for those refugees , who are immigrants who are going to head to europe from all over the continent, and here it’s literally a stone’s throw from italy, so boats often leave from here, but in return now western countries do not provide the assistance that they used to they promised, and while in moscow, nabil amar said: that the international monetary fund should serve other countries, and not vice versa, well, in general, a very wide range of issues will need to be discussed today, of course, security issues here in the region of north africa and the middle east will be the center of attention. daria, thank you, we will follow the program of the russian minister elizaveta khramtsova was in direct contact with tunisia, where the head of midrosia will hold

a number of bilateral meetings today. eu countries will join the us operation against the houthis in the red sea, a. this was announced by the head of european diplomacy, josep barel. meanwhile , the threat of the yemeni rebels makes itself felt. ikea global said it expects product shortages due to disruptions in deliveries by carriers. the shipping company also doubts the early success of the american initiative. more than a hundred container ships have already been redirected along a longer route around africa. insurance premiums and prices for oil and final products are ultimately rising. the ministry of finance has submitted a proposal to the government regarding large companies in which state share more than 50%. its essence is to reduce the share of state participation without losing a controlling stake. the head of the department, anton siluanov, spoke about this in an interview with our tv channel. what steps can russia take if the european commission begins to use profits from the frozen assets of the bank of russia and what ruble exchange rate does the ministry of finance expect? about this

everything is changing, everything is online, before, papers were carried to the property register, registration took 3 months, well then if you’re lucky, and even longer, it’s clear that now no one carries papers, and of course. find out information about where to rent premises to develop a business, maybe buy a plot to open an agricultural production, that’s all is now contained on the website of the federal property management agency, and for this you just need to register, open your personal account, about 50 thousand such personal accounts already exist, and the number of participants is increasing every year, because after all

, business is for those normal owners, who will do this, what is the advantage for a business to buy objects on the marketplace, speed, now in 20 days

you can arrange everything, open a personal account, this is from and to 20 days, but the main thing is that you can see what will be put up for auction is not something that is left in the bag, everything is published here in advance, what other sections can be added to the marketplace, what is currently missing, well, we see a large amount of property is under management. such an inventory, and if this property is not properly used or is used for other purposes, i think that such property should be included in our

database, for this we carry out the necessary inventory of such property, and we, together with the russian property management agency, are preparing a corresponding proposal to the government and will review them when? we will make these proposals, and i think that next year we will begin such work. when they started talking about creating a marketplace, there was talk that this was the beginning of a big privatization, is that true? we’re not talking about big money yet, we’re just talking about treasury property, which is not worth large billions, and stands idle, as a rule, yes, big money is the shares of large companies, the time will definitely come, we can sell some of this property to the market, at we have many companies that are 100% secure. is owned by the state, if a private owner comes, then the work of these companies, as a rule, improves, if a strategic company, of course, the state will own a controlling stake, and if

there is a private shareholder, this always stimulates the company to manage property more efficiently, reduce costs, earn more profit for their shareholders, and private owners are interested, of course, in profits and dividends, and what kind of companies these could be, what are you looking at now, the ministry of finance... made a proposal to the government regarding large companies where the state share is more than 50%, and proposed to reduce the share of participation without losing a controlling stake, and this could be tens, hundreds of billions, before it is in the government, we still have to discuss it , and how many companies are there , at least approximately, about thirty large companies, for which one could think about reducing the state’s share and replacing it. countries that are leaving our market,

losing the market is easy, and then entering and it is always more difficult to regain positions, so foreigners who leave, of course, they do not leave of their own free will, under political pressure from the countries where their parent companies are located, but nevertheless this process is still going on, companies leave, although many leave the business to management , many will re-register in other friendly jurisdictions, since business in russia... is very good, and you can earn good money, and by the way, we are facilitating this, we are creating conditions for people to work here the same way as they did several years ago, and i give the opportunity to withdraw dividends, even to unfriendly countries, if the company operates, continues to increase its work, activities, investments, saves jobs, but returning to your question, the mechanism for selling shares of such companies or...

a company with foreign participation that are leaving, determined, uh, which means that these companies first apply to the relevant industry department, and then come to the commission on foreign investments under a commission, and we consider, that is, a mechanism slightly different than the sale of ordinary property it seems that the european commission has approved a proposal to use the proceeds from the frozen funds of the russian central bank, what steps could be taken by russia, what scenarios? if such a decision is made, an absolutely symmetrical response will follow from the russian federation. that is, what is russia doing? we also have enough assets that are frozen here, located in the so-called accounts, these are our obligations on securities, on dividends, those that constitute our obligations to foreign counterparties from unfriendly

countries, they are all located behind... the numbers are not small, the income from the use of these funds is significant and can also be used if a decision is made by our unfriendly partners. what are your expectations for the dynamics of the ruble exchange rate by the end of the year? our forecast for next year is 90. and we, i have said this many times, as a government, we do not interfere in exchange rate formation. this largely depends on how much our exporters returned. revenues, for this we made an appropriate decision, a presidential decree, a resolution the government was about ensuring control over returnable foreign exchange earnings, all this depends on what volumes of import purchases we carry out, our participants in foreign economic activity, all this depends on how much capital flows abroad, all this affects the exchange rate , therefore, in our forecasts we take into account the rate of 90, but in no case do we interfere with the course

of education, so that the rate... relaxes more income for the treasury, receives or strengthens, creates better conditions for importers, the government is not doing this, and the central bank, by the way, also does not sell or buy currency, but monitors and coordinates purchases and sales, so that this change, exchange rate variability is minimal, of course, we do not need these swings, neither we, nor businesses, nor people , thank you very much for taking the time. for our interview.
