additional efforts need to be directed so that the tasks set by the president are completed, and i ask the workers’ leaders groups to report on the current situation, this was footage from a meeting of the coordination council to meet the needs of the armed forces, which was held by mikhail mishustin. vladimir putin held. working meeting with the governor of sevastopol, mikhail razvazhaev told the russian president about the socio-economic development of the city based on the results of last year. when you visited the exhibition at the russian sevastopol stand, you would also have paid attention to the dynamics of population growth. today, 56,100 people are registered in the city, that is, it is constantly growing, despite even today's events there, relatively speaking, although sometimes in the press there.

are presented as very scary, dangerous , nevertheless people do not leave sevastopol, and here , well, sevastopol residents in general are people who have little fear of anything, yes, accordingly no one leaves, in terms of sports infrastructure, in terms of involvement, in terms of security, we are all indicators of national we are completing the project ahead of schedule, 51.3%, the level of involvement in those who systematically engage in sports is still not enough, well, not enough. well that's higher than the plan we have for the national project, but how much is there? there we have about 47, absolutely nowhere , it started there generally with 22 , we need to increase this, we will do this, well, now that so many objects have been introduced, accessibility will certainly increase, the law that i reported to you, which we adopted to support ip participants and their members families, it works, these are the main parameters that today there are 784 people, these are, of course, those who volunteer for a contract, we make an additional payment, like everyone else...

the rest are heads of regions - this is compensation payment for housing and communal services, production, and so on, and plots for sevastopol residents, who are also in the northwestern district zone, so far 443 have been transferred into ownership, well, now we are forming a fund, we are demarcating, we will provide, but we have already put 7,259 in the queue for free plots of four hundred square meters of housing construction. such territory is a good help. yes, but it seems to be rare, of course, for people on earth. it’s difficult to purchase it there, to find it; those who have fulfilled their duty, of course, are obliged to do so. the russian ministry of defense accused the ukrainian armed forces of using chemical weapons on the battlefield and poisonous substances for carrying out terrorist attacks, in particular attempts to poison the leader of the lugansk people's republic and the kherson region. this was stated today at a briefing by the head of the traditional chemical and biological defense troops, igor kirillov. according to him , some were used. final compound,

i would like to draw attention to the statement of representatives of the ukrainian armed forces about the presence at their disposal of similar compounds, including analogues of the chemical warfare agent tabun, which is included in list one of the convention and was used by the fascist invaders in years of the great patriotic war. cases of the use of substances have been recorded in relation to russian military personnel. here are some examples: on august 19, 2022, a toxic chemical was used. which is an analogue of the anesthetic substance bezet, included in list two of the convention. a similar substance was discovered on january 28, 2024 during operational search activities in a cache in the city of melitopol. the poisonous substance was in bottles labeled biosporin in ukrainian. on february 8 and 16 , 2023, cases of use were recorded seminal acid using drones. the apu uses a toxic compound. not only during military

operations, but also for carrying out terrorist acts. so, on august 9, 2022 , the head of the administration of the kherson region was hospitalized with symptoms.

retreat from the city, leaving behind a large amount of equipment, the retreating ukrainian troops mined the city, however, according to russian sappers, they did it in a hurry, demining is now underway, over 200 booby traps have been neutralized in avdeevka in 24 hours and... part of the civilian population still remains in avdeevka. now the russian military is taking local residents to temporary accommodation centers and providing all the necessary assistance. they are also being interviewed to comment on the crimes

of the ukrainian military. let me remind you that russian troops occupied avdeevka on february 17. our war correspondent, grigory, was one of the first to visit there. early in the morning we leave kievsky prospekt in donetsk towards avdeevka. we have been here many times, but this has never been the purpose of the trip. we turn onto the street airfield in the village of spartak and we are already driving parallel to the takeoff of donetsk airport. the roadsides have so far been cleared just enough to go around the ditch. actually, this is the former line of military contact. bmp drivers demonstrate the exquisite art of driving a vehicle. you can't move one centimeter to the side. on the left we have the former ukrainian position of the air defense unit, right under the bridge, the so-called cheburashka position, it is at this point that we make a short stop. behind me is the donetsk ring road, in fact, all these 10

years, when ukrainian troops were stationed here, it’s not that it was impossible to get here, it’s already deep behind the line of military contact, even just to look from some point. even that was dangerous in this direction, now, as we see, the infantry is approaching , it is loaded onto our infantry fighting vehicles, and we, apparently, are moving on, here is the avdeevskaya stella, this is grushevsky street, named after the inspirer of the idea of ​​​​the modern ukrainian state , and now right along it lie the bodies of ukrainian soldiers, citizens of what came out of it, by the way, the former name of chipaeva street, on the corner there are russian flags on a high-rise building.

division of the basics, we are now finishing clearing out these small groups , this does not affect the main offensive in any way, our forward position is already located to the west behind the western part of avdievka, we are moving towards the northern village of lastochkina, our city, sure, yes, 100% city ours, how our victory is forged, how it is made and thanks to what it moves, it’s like this, look at them, what weeks in a row these guys made their way in such unbearable conditions. through the water through the mud, through shelling, through difficult life situations, they continue to push through here, make progress, we go inside the destroyed cultural center, in the basement from the previous guests there are only inscriptions on the walls, irrelevant, we ask about the civilians, have they communicated, live in small groups in the same way

in the basements, as we are now at the moment , we walked around, what was the difficulty, the difficulty was in the air, as in any situation with dill, it was the air, where we reach, where we... they hated us, we hated them everything, and so, turned sideways, everything sideways

, you are more than happy, explain, no one did this , but i can’t, i see you and it’s like in a dream, and i thought this would never happen, i said, we’re at home, this is it while the brains don’t realize , we were already hugging them, but didn’t have time, i ’m just videoing you, well, at least hug a person on... yes, the elk avenue opens up to the full depth of its perspective , it seems deserted, in the distance it turns into that same industrial avenue , the former so -called road of life for ukrainians troops, but it seems deserted only at first glance, gradually our soldiers begin to appear here in large numbers everywhere in the district, the central avenue is avdeevka, it goes deep into the city, this is the area, the so-called nine, now sappers will work here, naturally the work will be done... there are a lot of them, because everything is mined, only small passages have been made so that

advanced groups can get here, now the city will be saturated with equipment and personnel, ours will consolidate, dig in, strengthen the defense, well, please, it’s clear that the city is really ours, there is a huge amount of explosive stuff under our feet, for example, an unexploded ammunition from an fpv drone fell right in the middle of the road, and yet everything about... those who came by is difficult to overestimate, the houses will be restored, we saw that using the example of mariupol, and the residents will return, no matter how it was, it is difficult to do through europe now, but as soon as the enemy is pushed back even further from the city. death is a hero, peace will be adequate, glory to russia, guys, you probably all know how you are leaving, how they’re abandoning you here, well, my advice to you is, it’s better not to come here, the command abandoned them, that’s it. when they seemed to have no communication, the guys were even, i would say, new

units here, not knowing the area, the guys were confused, they seemed to be panicking, people were panicking, that’s why the advance, our advances went very quickly and effectively, they surrender with pleasure, that’s for sure, and donetsk, for the first time since the beginning of the conflict, can finally be at least a little calmer. sigh, our peaceful avdeevka, over time, restored and flourishing, and not avdievka in the ukrainian way, which it never was, will no longer constantly threaten the capital of donbass. grigory vdoin, oleg makarov, gennady korniev and andrey rudenko. news from avdeevka, donetsk people's republic. the liberation of avdeevka will reduce the intensity of shelling of donetsk and other settlements of the dpr. the head stated this in an interview with our channel.

generally clear, plus, we now understand that from the outskirts of avdeevka, from where shelling from artillery, this action will be impossible from the enemy’s side, yes, unfortunately, there are still opportunities, taking into account the supply of long-range missiles and weapons by western countries to ukraine, that is , to shell our populated areas, but... this is something else, this is all already not artillery, this is all no longer just extended missile defense systems, from

which literally every day the enemy launched attacks on our cities and regions, so this is very serious and very significant in terms of air security. the current team of polemetal jsc will continue their work after completion of the transaction for the sale of russian assets. new owner. gold mining business will become the structure of the mangazeya group of companies. details of the transaction are from maria slobodyanskaya. the russian gold mining business of polymetal jsc will be transferred to a new one. the owner and the company mangazia+ can become. the structure was created specifically for the implementation of the transaction. it will be implemented through the sale of 100% of the polymetal shares. according to official information, the company is valued at $3.690 million. this amount includes the group's external internal debt. also russian business will pay dividends to the parent company. cash receipts after paying

all taxes are estimated at $300 million. all calculations will be made in rubles. the price, as experts note, is market price, but takes into account. associated with the urgency and complexity of the sale. a fast, transparent and sanction-compliant transaction on the proposed terms meets the interests of all interested parties. completion of the transaction will allow the company to significantly reduce risks and concentrate on generating a stable cash flow on new investment projects. polymetal is a leading producer of gold and silver in russia, the company has several production assets for large development projects. trihub company located. russia, he owns deposits in the khabarovsk territory, serdlovsk region, chukotka, as well as enterprises in the magadan region, and essentially sells the entire russian business.

polymetal's largest shareholder is a consortium of omani investors, and the main reason for the sale is the announcement. companies eliminating risks reducing the debt burden of the group's assets. in the twenty-third year, russian polymetal came under american sanctions. the second part of the company's assets is located in kazakhstan. it is their development that he plans to focus on after the deal is completed. the proceeds will be used to finance the construction of the irtysh hydrometallurgical plant and improve the group's liquidity. at the same time, the russian part of the business is much more profitable. last year, polymetal's revenue was $3 billion. of which more than 2 billion accounts for enterprises in russia, and 890 million for assets in kazakhstan. about 70% of the assets of the company, the entire polymetal company were or are now in russia, the most important technical condition is that the companies must agree there with the new owner, an agreement will be signed that the gold mined at kazyl is

a deposit, a large deposit in kazakhstan, it will continue to be processed. at the amur plant, which is located in russia, and until the construction of a new processing plant already on the kazakh side. as for the buyer, it will be russian mangasia mining through a specially created structure. the company has been mining precious metals since 2011 and owns a portfolio of development projects with a resource base of more than 400 tons of gold. the company currently operates at four fields in the trans-baikal territory. the company is part of the mangazeya group owned by sergei yanchukov. in addition to gold, it owns gas assets, agribusiness and businesses related to real estate and it. lately the most it was gold mining that became profitable. after purchasing the polymetal, experts are confident that this direction will become even more promising. for growth and expansion of the mangazeya business , a purchase and geographic expansion is precisely what is needed,

because mongazeya’s assets are mainly in the trans-baikal territory and. and accordingly, the base , if we talk about the gold equivalent, then somewhere the russian polymetal business has approximately more than a million - namely ounces of gold equivalent - in its portfolio, so such a purchase is, in principle, quite profitable for the transaction took place , several conditions must be met at once: firstly, the buyer must not be the subject of any sanctions, in addition... assurance must be obtained that there is no risk of secondary us sanctions against the polymetal group in connection with the tolinga agreement. this is due to the fact that the processing of concentrate from the kazakh deposit will for now be carried out at the amur plant. the current team is expected to continue managing the assets following the sale. the decision to pay dividends for last year to politicians in the future has been postponed for now. the deal is expected to be completed by the end of march.

at the same time, polymetal is not considering the possibility of repurchasing russian assets. more than a thousand representatives from other countries and international organizations will observe the voting process in the presidential elections in russia. the head of panfilova spoke about this at a meeting on the readiness of the electoral system for the upcoming vote. it is very important for us, among other things, to be widely represented. everything was international observation, we were really testing we work with you, it will be, it will be, but nevertheless, we all understand what is still most important for us. as i say all the time , i’ll just repeat, the most important thing for us is still our voters, that’s how they will appreciate it, that’s how they will perceive it, that is, this level of trust, they are the most important

judge for us, for them we do everything, so that no one has a shadow of doubt, this is our strength, the more trust there is, this is our strength, an all-russian volunteer event to donate blood was held in moscow today, it was carried out by the transneft company and they donated blood and its components for military personnel of a special military operation. before the start of the action, a cooperation agreement was signed between transneft and the federal medical and biological agency. the companies and the department will jointly implement the state healthcare development program. a project to organize assistance to military personnel who took part in a special military operation, well, it was the most varied assistance, but first of all, of course,

these are the necessary drugs, equipment and assistance to the teams that the medical teams that provided this support, we will work together, actively jointly solve the tasks that are assigned to us. last year we reached a historical maximum in the number of donors and donations. in our country, this is actually already one and a half million donors, and accordingly, almost 2 million donations, and we were able to increase 10 times in relation to the twenty-first year, even more, and the number of plasma volumes for production purposes, in addition, we are developing a register of bone marrow donors, hematopoietic cells, and must also provide for our patients. primarily with oncological and hematological diseases, entirely with our russian donors. we are very pleased that among our strategic

partners are such powerful partners as pau transneft. in the building of the military investigation department in moscow , a memorial bas-relief to lieutenant general of justice, oleg borisov, was solemnly opened. at the time of his passing in 2018, he... was deputy head of department. and in this building from 1985 to 2015 he served, starting with lieutenant shoulder straps. oleg borisov was awarded many state awards and titles. honorary employee of the investigative committee, holder of the order of honor, medal of the order for services to the fatherland, second degree. in the memory of his colleagues, oleg borisov remained as an objective leader who did not tolerate neglect.

risks to the banking system. deutsche also announced significant losses earlier. bank, american new york community bencorb reported losses of 250 million dollars instead of the expected profit of 206 million. this was economic news, in short: we’ll skate clean on points , do you remember everything? you know, let’s calm down, get together and win , kiss, dad, kiss, kiss already, well, it’s beautiful to go out on the ice, this is a skill, come on, sank , all the hope is in you, well, old age is not a joy, yes, it’s beautiful to leave, whole art, well, we can’t lose you either, because irkutsk loves you, it doesn’t like you,
