kaliningrad is an integral part of russia, it will always be so, the kremlin’s harsh response to the statement of the lithuanian politician. a certain linas lenkavicius invited to neutralize kaliningrad if russia quits. well, what will really happen? answer from the president's press secretary. protect transnistria from the economic blockade of chisinau. this is an appeal, or rather a cry for help, from teraspol to moscow. transnistria is disappearing and what has

the current moldovan government brought the republic to? look, what's your name? cool! a story full of pain, but filled with light, four-year-old dima, originally from avdeevka , wanted to take away the child by force and take him to ukraine, why? shall we tell you? in the meantime, the russian military is developing success in the ovdeevsky direction from the photo of the ministry of defense, the army is advancing, as vysu successfully leaves their positions. and vladimir putin is working on a message to the federal assembly. the president will announce it tomorrow, february 29. the broadcast, of course, will be on our channel, but for now the main thing is what the head of state will talk about and what priorities he will set for the next 6 years. this is russia 24, right now main. facts of this day in the studio georgy

podgorny and natalya litovka. within 24 hours, the russian military destroyed an ammunition depot in a storage facility for burning lubricants, as well as a warehouse for storing and manufacturing drones of the ukrainian armed forces. this was reported to the ministry of defense. the department also announced new successes in the avdeevka direction. during the day , our fighters repelled 11 counterattacks of ukrainian assault groups there. our correspondent denis alekseev, who is already live, has details. in the facts. denis, welcome, what is especially important to talk about. after the liberation of avdievka , the russian military essentially opened up space for further offensive actions. how does our military use it? here, of course, i just want to cross my fingers for luck. yes, now petrovskaya is also officially freed from the presence of nationalists in the populated area. every day there is good news from the avdievsky direction. there, our troops are rapidly developing an offensive to the west, and the militants are fleeing. and here are the shots of the armed forces of ukraine. they leave their dugouts and trenches

and run away at the sight of the russian military. we dispersed across the field and it didn’t matter that our drones would carry their legs away in full view. in the avdeevsky direction, units of the center group of troops liberated the village of petrovskoye, occupied more advantageous positions and repelled 11 counterattacks of the ukrainian armed forces assault groups in the areas of the settlements of leninskaya, novgorodskaya, novabakhmutovka, and tonenkaya. usa and five cars. but kiev sent almost its best fighters to this direction, provided them with western equipment, but in the end they abandoned everything. this is footage from a swallow that was cleaned up the other day, it is clear that the village is strong. destroyed,

vseushniki used multiple launch rocket systems , mortars, artillery, and used illegal phosphorus shells, which is why many houses burned to the ground. defense minister sergei shaigu thanked the motorized riflemen who knocked out the militants from lastochkin in a telegram. four servicemen of the unit were awarded the title of hero of russia, more than 3,500 people were awarded state awards. the minister also emphasized resilience in the telegram.

and now about the work of our other departments in neighboring directions of the special operation in the zaporozhye region in rabotino, both we and the enemy are conducting maneuver operations, heavy artillery is operating on the streets of the village. in the donetsk direction , the situation along the front line was improved, thanks to the formation of the armed forces of ukraine on the flanks of artyomovsk. the militants' tricks work against them. our military repels all counterattacks, reducing the number of personnel of the armed forces of ukraine. per day the enemy lost at least 230 people, from equipment, only in this area, two tanks, several guns cannon artillery, and the bka field warehouse was also destroyed. and russian paratroopers in the kherson direction detect the movement of ukrainian equipment on the right bank of the dnieper

and promptly destroy it. the hall's multifunctional drone crews are on combat duty. with their help , terrain reconnaissance is carried out at a tactical depth, and then they work on targets. there are more than enough stories like in this video, with this tank, every day , in ovdeevka itself sappers continue to work, the city has to be cleared of mines, first of all, restored communications, volunteers and evacuation teams are already arriving there, now there are hundreds of residents of avdeevka who survived the severe famine of the military conflict, the most difficult period of the military conflict.

will finally be able to see the world. dima was born in avdeevka and spent exactly half of his life in the basement. the whole family, dad, grandmothers, grandfather, aunt, convinced the neighbors that polina and her son had long since left for the ukrainian rear. the boy was hidden from forced evacuation. ukrainian authorities even opened the apartment in an even attempt to take the child away. nasilisya otven, yes, they were taken out, a week later mine went to see what was wrong with our apartment, the apartment was hidden, that is, he was there. they tried to look, well, they didn’t find it, thank god, but how were they evacuated separately from the parents, or how, well, if, well, if the parents didn’t want to leave, then they forcibly took them away, yeah, they deprived them of parental rights, now the family is settling into yasenovataya, local residents brought cake gifts , now dima needs a separate suitcase for toys, but while

the boy sleeps, overwhelmed with impressions, his family, like hundreds of other residents of avdeevka preparing to apply for russian citizenship, when they say in donbass: there is donbass, lugan, they say, a new territory, we say, no, we are returning territories, who remembers history, taught at school, remembers the poster of the nineteenth year donbass is the heart of russia, they were waiting liberation for almost 10 years, this is how the residents of avdiivka protested in the summer of 1915 against the garrison of ukrainian militants, from city high-rise buildings the nazis adjusted fire on donetsk, the fate of civilians worried them least of all, they they picked us up and killed us.

every day volunteers go to the city to take care of local residents who did not leave. olga is helping to evacuate residents. a mother of many children, she has been at the front since 2014, explains where everyone lives, now you can’t tell, following the sappers, they are slowly moving street after street. there are no children, we saw old people, women, many very dead people, i was struck today by the fact that there in avdeevka they have no private sector at all.

here for the 17th year of rsu, tanks stopped by here , correspondents just arrived at the chemist the chemist shot back and left. they say it’s the dpr, russia keeps shooting, although, yes, they shoot at themselves, although everyone saw and everyone knows that it was ukraine that shot. now our military , even in avdeevka, has a lot of work to do, not only demining, but helping residents who sat in basements for weeks while the fighting was going on, at the same time the issuance of russian passports continues, the city itself plans to restore, the chelyabinsk region has taken patronage over it, but there is no doubt about that , all of russia will help. natalya soloveva and valeria sapegina, news. the kremlin responded to

the threat of the lithuanian ambassador to shvedts ilin with alinkavicius to neutralize kaliningrad. presidential spokesman dmitry peskov said that this region will forever be russian. the expansion of nato, the advancement of nato's military infrastructure towards our borders, hostile rhetoric on the part of member states of the north atlantic alliance, this is all, of course, a reason for deep concern. and the basis for taking additional measures to ensure our safety. kaliningrad is a russian region, it is located on the baltic, and it will always be so. the words of the lithuanian ambassador were also commented on by the representative of the russian foreign ministry, maria zakharova. everyone understands that neither this particular person you mentioned, nor anyone else, i don’t know , who occupies a similar position,

is competent and does not have the appropriate powers, and, by the way, he is perfectly aware of this in order to make such statements, but again an element of information war, an element of some kind of i don’t know pr, hype, but threat. lithuanians responded in the state duma, state duma deputy dmitry belik said that these statements are based on the hope of help. however, judging by the statements of the nato countries, no one is eager to send their troops to fight russia. as belik also noted, the words that the baltic sea is an internal sea of ​​nato are simply laughable. and in kaliningrad, the governor’s press secretary, dmitry lyskov, said in turn that kaliningrad is reliably protected and is not afraid of threats. the russian federation has at least three major ports in the baltic sea: kaliningrad, the port of st. petersburg and ust

luga. also, the baltic sea is the home sea of ​​our twice red banner baltic fleet. kaliningrad does not threaten anyone, we live on our own land and are developing our region. our neighbors are rattling their weapons, who for some reason suddenly forgot about 20 years of good neighborliness. so what is the essence of the situation? the day before from the lithuanian ambassador to sweden and the former head of the mid-country, linas linke. he threatened, quote, to neutralize kaliningrad first if russia challenged nato. the ambassador posted the corresponding statement on his page on the social network x. well, among other things, linkevicius also stated that the baltic sea, after sweden joined the north atlantic alliance, allegedly became an internal nato sea. self-hypnosis exercises. well, what does neutralization mean? yes, if it happens. the third world war will probably be a neutralized kaliningrad and much more, in other

cases, a person with either a fevered imagination or, let’s say , politically correct, too enthusiastic can talk about the neutralization of part of russian territory. the baltic sea periodically becomes the main topic of various speeches. let us remind you about its possible closure to all russian courts. at the end of october last year , latvian president edgards rinkevics said. there was, of course, a reaction to his words. deputy foreign minister alexander grushko noted that the country members of the alliance are voicing their dreams and, quote, unreasonable wishes. well , the minister also added that such statements from european politicians are nothing more than just a figure of speech used by lightweight politicians. also charge d'affaires of russia in latvia oleg zykov stressed that... baltika will not be able to implement plans to close the baltic sea to russian shipping. the diplomat

admitted that european capitals are aware of the results of such a decision. another bank lost its license; the regulator appointed a temporary administration to giftos bank. the organization is registered in the tver region. our colleague, christina kuruma, is following this topic. christina, hello, will investors be able to get their money, chief? question: hello, yes, hephaestus is a participant in the deposit insurance system, can you return up to 100% of the amount, including interest, but not more than 1,400 thousand. for the second time in a week, the regulator revoked the license of hephaestus bank, which ranked 336th in the country in terms of assets. defest was unprofitable for a long time; for 9 months of last year, the loss amounted to almost 32 million rubles. at the same time , more than 60% of the loan portfolio consisted of low-quality loans. the central bank indicates that

it gave him several instructions during the year. and his business largely boiled down to the fact that he lent, strictly speaking, their owners, and due to this, the quality of the court was quite low. the insurance agency estimated payments to hephaestus bank depositors at approximately 182 million rubles. amounts up to 1,400 thousand will be returned in full, payments will begin no later than march 13. a similar story happened with qiwibank. on february 21, the regulator revoked the license, the dia estimated payments to depositors at more than 4 billion rubles, about 300 individuals and 20,000 individual entrepreneurs and legal entities will receive them, but there is a nuance: the money in 9 million kevi wallets was not insured, that’s 4 billion 400 million rubles. and they still intend

to compensate for this money; in particular, tochka bank announced the redemption of its own clients’ funds stuck in kiev for 8 billion rubles. well, then, instead of them, he will send an application to the register of creditors’ claims in order to return this amount. the dia confirmed that qiwi has enough assets to pay off everyone. the potential volume of claims could reach up to 35 billion rubles. both kiev and gifest violated banking laws and requirements in the field of legalization of criminal proceeds. both received regulatory orders within a year. however since 2022, the bank of russia has revoked licenses only four times. that's it. since 2013 , more than 450 unscrupulous banks have been withdrawn from the market , i think this is clearly related to the fact that the stability of the russian banking system is not subjected to any additional stress, it has enough sanctions pressure from western countries, i think that the central bank is doing quite well i have been working

in this direction since 2015, when there were... significant measures to improve the banking system, i hope that there are not many banks left unscrupulous ones, to whom the central bank has claims and this phenomenon will not become widespread again and there will not be some kind of mass purge of the banking sector. at the beginning of this year, there were 324 banks operating in the country, 2/3 of them had a universal license; it is issued to organizations with a capital of 1 billion or more, while a basic license is issued with a capital of 300 million or more. last year was very successful. for the banking sector, experts attribute this to activity in the mortgage and car lending sectors. this year, the key rate is quite high, and a whole series of measures to cool the mortgage market, therefore , most likely, the financial results of the banking sector this year will be noticeably more modest. it can be stated that

the russian banking sector has quite successfully adapted to working in the new conditions. and there are no systemic problems in it, at least for now. no additional funding is required to support the sector. according to elvira nabeulina, the improvement of the banking system has led to the fact that she herself is helping the economy. more than 3 million russians applied applications for participation in online voting in the presidential elections. this was stated by the chairman of the central election commission ella pomfilova. commission meetings and yet more than 80% of voters plan to vote at polling stations. firstly, of course , one of the best wonderful public observation centers will operate in moscow, precisely because all the usual voting stations for muscovites have been kept in smaller numbers,

their number in one school has been reduced, there is no need for one there, let’s say, well not five, but...

that's it, we played capitalism and that's enough, for nikolai kharitonov, for the communist party of the russian federation, for socialism, my name is vladislav davankov. i came to politics from ordinary life, where people want simple things, to live in abundance, to be happy and confident in the future. i am running for the presidential election so that we all live

with dignity and freedom, in a modern and peaceful country, live with love and the future, live in a new way. vladislav davankov, russian presidential candidate, number one on the ballot. time for something new. remember, we voted for zhirinov. and ldpr, i will raise russia from its knees, i will defend the russians, the great people , great russia, don’t lie and don’t be afraid , shirinovsky, or it will be worse, get up, great russia, not a single unemployed, homeless, hungry person, all these years zhirinovsky, the ldpr fought for you, defended your interests, be true to yourself, vote for the ldpr, vote for slutsky, my name is vladislav davankov. i came to politics from ordinary life, where people want simple things, to live in abundance, to be happy and confident in the future. i 'm going to the presidential elections so that we can all live

with dignity and freedom, in a modern and peaceful country, they lived with love and the future, they lived in a new way. vladislav davankov, russian presidential candidate, number one on the ballot. time for something new. i’ll remove it, no, leave it, zhirinovsky’s case lives on, slutsky, a candidate for the presidency of russia. now we have a message marked urgently sergei shaigu held a meeting with

the heads of tula enterprises of the military-industrial complex with the participation of the governor of the tula region alexei dyumin, the ministry of defense reported this. what details are known about this meeting? so, the shaigu were shown the protection system developed in tula.

demanded that manufacturers of artillery reconnaissance systems for shells speed up the supply of equipment to the troops. well, shaigu sets the task of moving the majority of military supplies from

the second half of the year to... and the first is to adjust the schedule of deliveries to vska for all produced weapons and shift the timing of the transfer of equipment to the second and third quarters. these are the messages with reference to the ministry of defense of the russian federation. but for now, on to other topics. tomorrow vladimir putin will address the federal assembly with his annual message. as the head of state himself previously stated, his message, taking into account the internal political calendar, will be a statement of the task. at least for the next 6 years. presidential press secretary dmitry peskov told reporters that putin is personally working on the text of the message. during the days leading up to its announcement, the president makes dozens of telephone and personal contacts of a working nature with ministers, deputy prime ministers, and heads of departments. administrative assistants. the announcement of the message will begin tomorrow at 12:00 moscow time. it will traditionally be broadcast

on federal television channels. also this year. russia will be able to see a video broadcast of the president’s message on large outdoor screens in cinemas; they will be allowed into the theaters without a ticket, subject to availability, of course. the address of the president of the federal assembly is one of the key strategic planning documents. the practice of such appeals was carried out by boris yeltsin. by based on the results of the head of state's appeal to the chambers of the federal assembly, a special resolution is adopted. the implementation of messages is an important component of the work of the state duma and, as a rule, is subject to announcement. the president allocates an hour or a little more for his address to the federal assembly, but last year, for example, it lasted 45 minutes. this was vladimir putin’s longest appeal, and it was also the first message since the start of the special operation. so, there is less than a day until the president’s message. it is known that vladimir putin is already in full swing prepares, works with materials. well , the election of the head of state is a little more than two weeks away. tomorrow morning, after 10:00

moscow time on ours. channel, watch an exclusive interview with a person with vast political experience about how russia has changed over more than two decades and what still needs to be done in the very near future, our new project, in the frame, sergei ivanov. how russia has changed over the past two decades and more, let’s talk about this and more with a person with extensive political experience. we we are waiting for sergei ivanov.

we will take on this case, it will be an honest detective story.

yes, we went as a child, we also lay like that, silent, figure skater, but i don’t skate , just skate, focus on training, you dreamed of this cup, you can jump, but you don’t believe it yourself, i ’ll prepare myself, thirst victory is in her blood, don’t look, go ahead, why risk it?
