the material by anton potkovenko. they were preparing to poison several thousand people and filmed their every step for a report to ukrainian curators. a laboratory in a garage , a chemical protection suit, a respirator, in his hand a certain container, as for effervescent tablets, the terrorists of the rdk of the russian volunteer corps, banned in russia, were supposed to add poison to the package with humanitarian aid, which the volunteers send to the north military district zone. the tasks were set by a representative of the main intelligence directorate of the ministry of defense of ukraine. here i understand that it will be suitable for military personnel, right? well, not only pregnant women, afghans too. ah, i understand. that is, like, well, civilians, civilians, like , but in general our target audience is those comrades who, accordingly, are there, oatmeal, sugar, semolina, four right-wing radicals from the st. petersburg cell of the terrorist rdk opened the packages and added heavy

metal salt there, and then they closed them so that nothing was noticeable, they prepared deadly packages that tend to accumulate in the body, affecting almost all systems, there is an acute toxic effect. in case of acute poisoning and progressive doses of this metal, it can cause death. the would-be poisoners had tens of kilograms of a highly toxic substance. gur built the whole logistics. i was traveling on instructions from the russian volunteer corps to pick up a gps tracker, as well as chemical agents (20 kg), which were intended for military personnel and civilians, the russian federation came to my home with a parcel, as it turned out later, filled with poison to poison russian citizens, the murderous humanitarian aid had to disperse among. the servicemen of the russian army and residents of the liberated territories

did not make it through the volunteer center of the volunteer unit of batalna espanola: all members of the terrorist group were detained by fsb officers. a large-scale sabotage of the gur was prevented even at the preparation stage. kiev is increasingly using poisons as a tool for terrorist attacks. at the beginning of the month it became known about the attempt of the ukrainian special services to poison russian military in melitopol and the governor of zaporozhye evgeniy. revealed enemy agents have a chemical warfare agent documented for the first time by our scientists, manufactured in the usa, an analogue of the toxic chemical bz, which is controlled by the chemical weapons convention, code ea-3167, edgewood arsenal. it is not surprising, given the close connection of the sbu and gur with western intelligence services. the agents were discovered, the terrorist attack was prevented, the failed saboteurs will receive sentences like the erdek fighters detained in st. petersburg. excited. criminal cases under article participation in the activities of a terrorist organization - this is from 10 to 20 years in prison, so they

poisoned their lives for a long time. anton potkovenko, news! kamchatka does not accept planes due to a powerful cyclone, all flights were scheduled to depart and arrive tomorrow, some of the planes went to alternate airfields in magadan and vladivostok. on the peninsula there is snowfall and hurricane winds that knock down trees and demolish advertising accounts. there is a snow drift on the roads. sections are blocked; in the morning , nine cars collided on one of the highways due to poor visibility. school classes were canceled today, and visits to universities were declared free. in kamchatka, the first real snowstorm of this year, the peninsula is covered with a rather serious supercyclone, during the period from the 14th, 15th, 16th , extremely favorable weather is expected on the roads, very poor visibility. due to the fact that it is constantly snowing, the roads are icy, we have already

registered several massive accidents, rescuers, kamchatka rescuers are involved, so to speak, in localizing the consequences of this accident, so i appeal to the residents of the city at home, don’t go anywhere unless absolutely necessary, be extremely careful on the roads, inter-district routes for public transport are closed until they improve. weather conditions and a special team for this matter. finland is introducing new restrictions for cars with russian license plates. owners are required to remove cars from the country by march 16, but checkpoints on the border with russia are closed, and the same ban applies in neighboring countries. what to do in this situation? dmitry akimov was looking for the answer. the ultimatum expires in 3 days. that's exactly how it's possible interpret the latest statement from the finnish authorities. director of the finnish customs enforcement department samia rakshit said that now every

car owner of a car with a russian license plate is required to confirm his right to drive on the roads of the country of suomi. if a car registered in russia and not entitled to be in finland is found in traffic, customs will seize the car and make a possible tax assessment on this issue. consequences may include customs duties and taxes. as well as exporting a car from the eu. cars with russian the numbers can still be used by students, as well as those who officially work in finland. at the same time, an important clarification is that the car had to enter the country before the ban was introduced, that is, before september 16 last year. what does this mean for these russian cars, which are actually on the territory of finland legally, yes, and this is of course, the finns will attack them, yes, the finns will actually attack.

the country’s authorities are not interested in how exactly drivers should leave the territory of finland; let me remind you that the borders on the eastern side have been closed since november last year and at least until april 14 of this year, well, let the people out, let them take these cars of theirs, there is no finnish border to drive here. the ban was introduced there even earlier. violators, for example, in lithuania face fines of up to 6,000 euros and confiscation of the car. the authorities of this country do not know how many cars with russian license plates are currently on the territory of finland, but they warn that their right to drive on our roads will need to be constantly confirmed, so now a student card

or a fixed-term employment contract has the right require any road. igor pikhanov, he is in direct contact, igor, greetings, what is the situation at these moments? hello daria, belgorod was subjected to a maximum attack from ukrainian militants, at approximately 8:30 in the morning, the attack occurred on the outskirts of the city, this is a busy highway that connects the regional center and suburban villages, there is always lively traffic here, at that moment it was

the morning hour peak, we see that here is where one of the explosions occurred... here we see that cars are broken, the body was cut, a huge, huge number of fragments , the driver of the car also died during this shelling, one of the shells exploded right next to him, it was not possible to save the man, let's give the floor to the local residents,

a shell flew down the street in front of me a little earlier and fell on the road , stopped, got out after...

no, well, now i had to, what’s your name? oksana, oksana, please show me this hole in your car, where is it? here, here, here, here, here, here, window, glass. in his telegram channel, the head of regions vyacheslav glotkov reported that operational services are working on site, after they have worked here, repair and restoration teams will begin work, in addition, employees of the investigative committee have opened criminal cases on all facts of war crimes, the identities of the ukrainian commanders armed forces will be installed, who shelled a populated area, and units

of the ministry of defense are destroying ukrainian militants who are trying to... igor, thank you, at the site of the shelling in belgorodskaya region, our special correspondent, igor pikhanov, is now working. by 2030 , the extraction of aquatic biological resources in russia may increase to 6 million tons. such estimates are given by the federal fisheries agency. at the same time, last year we managed to achieve the maximum results over the past 30 years. alexandra nazarova will talk about the prospects of the fishing industry. fishing indicators in russia are breaking records. last year, we managed to catch more than 5,300,000 tons of aquatic biological resources. this is the maximum result in 30 years. and the positive trend continues, in this year we have already received more than 1,140,000 tons, which is 7% more than in the same period in 2023. the main contribution to

the overall growth is made by fishermen of the far east. i think that the fishing records today are due to the fact that the fleet has been modernizing recently, and a new one is being built, and the modernization of the fleet has been going on for the last, probably 7-8 years, the coastal infrastructure has changed a lot, that’s why... vodka has grown here, that’s why we need more fish, so i think that, of course, personnel, the school that we have today prepares young people specialists, our industry, higher educational institutions, secondary ones, they also work very well, so the personnel, the modernization of the fleet, and the experience of our fishermen, herring production at the beginning of the year increased by more than one and a half times, by march 12 they received over 122 thousand tons, however the main fish for us remains mentai , 750,000 tons, plus... 9% in annual terms, thanks to this dynamics, prices in the wholesale segment are actively declining. russian fishermen continue to increase supplies of mentai products to the domestic market. last year

deliveries increased by 13%. if we compare it with 2019, the volume of mentai supplies to the russian market has increased by one and a half times. today , the domestic market’s demand for pollock is completely covered, in addition, we see additional potential for increasing consumption. domestic market. according to the federal fisheries agency, by 2030, the extraction of aquatic biological resources in russia may increase to approximately 6 million tons. the investment quota program helps to increase volumes. mining rights can be obtained in exchange for fleet or infrastructure upgrades. thanks to this, 105 ships are being built and 25 fish processing plants are operating. the second stage of the program so far focuses on 46 ships and 11 factories. it is also planned to create logistics facilities. complexes, due to these mechanisms , the industry pools both its own funds and attracts loans from domestic banks for the construction of new vessels for the construction of new factories,

now 22 fishing vessels have already been provided, this year about 16 vessels will be delivered to all plans, well in next year it will also be possible to produce aquaculture is also expanding, over 10 years , seafarers have more than doubled the volume to 402,000 tons, and not... they grow fish, which is in greatest demand among russians, this has made it possible to significantly reduce the import of trout and salmon. vladimir putin instructed to increase the consumption of our fish products on the domestic market. the federal fisheries agency has already developed a plan for its promotion; for this purpose, it was also decided to create an autonomous non-profit organization. our federal state budgetary institution will make contributions from extra-budgetary sources. well, let's be with all the timid ones talk about what it should be. the road is a joint one, so we will also involve the robaks so that they make the appropriate contributions, we will create a supervisory board so that this work of

promotion is truly supported by the fishing community, large companies, and we can carry out this work quite competently and correctly. russia not only meets its basic needs for fish, but also sends it to foreign markets. last year , exports increased by 12 and exceeded 2 million tons. helps develop the fishing industry digitalization, the monitoring system automates all processes from quota distribution to production activities. new technologies are used in commercial exploration. this year, for the first time, russia fully explores the waters of the sea of ​​azov, and new regions are already being actively integrated into the overall fishery complex. during the twenty-third year with fishing producers in new territories. 622 contracts for the use of aquatic biological resources were concluded, 374 production permits were issued, and this work continues. for sustainable development fish farming in the region, scientists are conducting

research to assess the state of fish stocks, well, taking into account the restrictions that exist, but for effective work we have already received a building, we will open a full-fledged branch of vniro in mariupol. opportunities for growth of the fishery complex. russia today is the focus of attention of experts, market participants and representatives of relevant departments at the russia forum exhibition. fishing industry day is taking place there. artillerymen of the group of russian troops center thwarted the attempt of the ukrainian armed forces carry out a rotation in the avdeevsky direction of the special operation. the accumulation of enemy personnel and equipment was hit by our hail. to hit an identified target, the russians.
