in total, there are 90 thousand video cameras in the regions of russia. video surveillance will be carried out around the clock. during the entire period of operation of polling stations, there is voting, vote counting, right up to the entry of protocols, and gas elections. we do not

have observations in pre-trial detention centers, in hospitals, and in a number of other areas, say, in areas outside the russian federation; in all others we either have video surveillance, or , in extreme cases, where there is no internet video recording. a significant difference is remote electronic voting; it is used in the russian presidential elections for the first time and immediately on a wide scale: 28 subjects of the russian federation vote on a federal platform, moscow has its own. all services have been mobilized to the maximum, we understand everything perfectly well, as if the complexity of the current situation, duty shifts and increased duty have been introduced everywhere. international observers from 106 countries have been accredited for the elections and have been monitoring the polling stations from the first minutes of voting.

almost 1,500 journalists will follow the voting process at the cica information center. there is also an on-site studio for the russia-24 tv channel. viewers will see live broadcasts of current interviews. in representatives of almost 25,000 media outlets, including foreign ones, are accredited by the central election commission. 13 thousand reporters will go to the polling stations. only the people of the russian federation have the right to make a decision, and all these insinuations around these elections are an attempt to interfere with these elections, an attempt. to open polling

stations abroad, attempts to attack our polling stations in the border areas and in new constituent entities of the russian federation, in my opinion, they, well, well, are pointless, because the people will still have their say, despite no matter what, moreover, if the pressure is stronger, so we are accustomed, so accustomed in russia, the stronger the pressure, the greater the unity in the expression of point of view. for the first time , residents of new regions, donetsk people’s, lugansk, will elect the president of russia. kherson and zaporozhye regions. the elections will last 3 days, polling stations across the country will be open from 8 am to 8:00 pm. margarita semenyuk, andrey shner, viktor kryzhinovsky, lead. the first polling stations to open were in the regions of the far east and siberia; there are more than fifty polling stations in chukotka. in the lists over 30 thousand voters. and anna martyashkina has all the details. chukotka elects a president. first day. voting in the very

people who do not have registration in russia at all, that is, neither temporary nor permanent, can vote. according to the district election commission, by noon 13,349 people had already made their choice in chukotka, and this. almost 40% of the total number of voters, high turnout, as small national villages usually show, so one hundred percent turnout is already in the village of noteppelmin urban district and gwikinot, in anadra district capital of the region there are five polling stations, here the turnout by 12:00 was 3,293 people, the day before in the region early voting has ended, it took place from february 25 to march 14 and was held in the territories of all urban and municipal districts. areas in the most remote, hard-to-reach areas in the tundra and the sea, reindeer herding brigades , in agricultural villages, weather stations on ships, in total early voting covered over 4,000 people, people are actively voting today on the first day of the election campaign, whole families come to the polling stations, for many

it is a good tradition, a real holiday, it’s a family tradition, we always vote with everyone family, but everyone must come, make their choice, for the sake of our country, for our sake. the future of children, the future of our children. it should be noted that chukotka is highly active in elections at all levels, and if we recall the presidential elections that took place 6 years ago, then our region showed a high turnout, it was more than 82%. well, time will tell how these elections will go, there are still 2 days of voting ahead, the main one will be this sunday, march 17th. now economic news, maria, cost. brand oil exceeded 85 dollars per barrel for the first time since november of the previous year, tell us what are the reasons? tatyana, the market reacted to the report of the international energy agency; experts lowered oil production expectations by 900,000 barrels. i'll tell you about this

peace fund to assist kiev will not guarantee that ukraine will receive more weapons, the telegraph newspaper reports. the day before, the eu member states barely agreed on the allocation of 5 billion euros to the independent country, but this is a drop in the ocean in the context of the entire conflict. with this message, the head of european diplomacy , josep barel, flew to washington. and with details, our correspondent emil mirsaev. everything will be decided in ukraine before the fall - the officer told reporters during the course.

for such metaphors, berel has already been repeatedly accused of racism. his holiness, the pope of rome entered the garden where no one had invited him. calling on ukraine to surrender is more than

just wishing for peace. i believe that now is not the moment when it is necessary to offer ukraine to surrender. on the contrary, this is the moment when we need to continue to help kiev. indeed, what a world it is when the european military-industrial complex is just beginning to grow. the german concern rhein metal, the same one that supplied hitler's army with tanks. production plant shells, military equipment, air defense gunpowder. ukraine is now an important partner for us; we see a turnover potential there of two to three billion euros per year. the plant, whose foundation will soon be laid in a secret location, will be an exact replica of the munitions plant that rhein metal is currently building at its historic site in northern germany, in unterlues. and while german industrialists are counting profits, a political scandal is flaring up in the high offices of the eu. this time the legislative and executive powers of the eu quarreled. and

did it because of hungary. the european parliament will sue the european commission. deputies intend to challenge the payment of 10 billion euros in subsidies to budapest. this money was frozen allegedly due to stalled reforms. in fact , because of hungary’s position on ukraine. as a result , it was possible to reach an agreement with orban; the funds had to be quickly unblocked. but having received budapest's reluctant consent on ukraine, experts say, brussels could trick the hungarians into blocking the money again under the guise of a long legal battle. from the very beginning of the ukrainian conflict, hungary acted against anti-russian sanctions for peace negotiations. budapest still does not intend to shower kiev with money; it has to pay with its own wallet for a policy that differs from the general line of the bloc. how is the money of european taxpayers used ? are the conditions set?

which are needed in france. emmanuel macron, in an interview with a national television channel, revealed the true reasons for helping kiev. blaming russia for the economic problems of one’s country has already become a tradition. the president of the fifth republic strictly observes it. about plans paris and the economic situation in europe, anastasia popova will tell. the french president allocated only half an hour to communicate with journalists, so he was immediately asked the main question that has worried the french over the past weeks.

we are already experiencing the consequences in europe, the price of gas, our economic situation, the cost of grain, the economic decline that followed all of this, these are the consequences of the war that russia started. i want our fellow citizens to understand that there is only one person responsible for this situation in which we it turned out that this is the kremlin regime, if russia wins, then trust in europe will drop to zero. in order for the european garden, in the words of the head of european diplomacy barel, not to wither at all, it needs resources. after the interview, macron, perhaps for the first time, speaks openly about what

really lies behind the interests of france. ukraine - this is in our short-term interests, because ukraine has a lot of resources and other elements that we need for our economy, for all these reasons, helping ukraine is justified, it is needed today and even more tomorrow. if we stop helping. then ukraine has no chance of winning, because 90% of the weapons and ammunition that ukraine has been using since the beginning of the conflict comes from europeans, americans, british and others. only macron is lamenting everything to no avail. the counteroffensive did not go as planned, the situation on the ground is very difficult, the ukrainian armed forces are suffering heavy losses, often one in ten. european industry is not capable of producing as much as kiev asks. paris still intends to look to purchase ammunition in all countries peace. whoever is ready to sell them to him, in parallel with this, he will convince his european colleagues to go to obank, because for europe, according to macron, this is a proxy war for survival. macron’s actions

are difficult to name. the population of the republic is steadily falling, hence the corresponding comments from those who watched the interview, one of the most popular, if macron really wants it, then let him go to ukraine and fight himself. anastasia popolia bernadsky, european news bureau. clergy provide spiritual assistance to our soldiers on the front line, help the wounded and... psychological adaptation, and this work will continue. the russian orthodox church and the russian national guard signed a cooperation agreement. in turn, the national guard will ensure security in churches during religious holidays. maria valieva will tell you how it will work. lord, bless, save and preserve, protect the strongman from all evil. the clergy are

constantly in their zone, providing assistance to the fighters. spiritual support, always ready to help and kind in word and prayer, to give parting words and blessings. this is the kazan image of the mother of god, under which russian soldiers from novgorod went to liberate moscow. the will, moral strength, sincere faith in the ideals of goodness and justice of the national guard fighters, all this is further strengthened by the efforts of the clergy,” emphasized the head of the russian guard, viktor zolotov, during a meeting with the patriarch of moscow and all russia kirill.

your works are of great importance for ensuring the security, peace and well-being of our fatherland. i would like to wish everyone god's help, strength, strength, good health, but most importantly, that your service will always be so effective and useful for both the people and our state. troops of the national guard of the russian orthodox church. linked by years of collaboration. in 2016, patriarch kirill of moscow of all russia blessed the command of the russian guard for the construction of the church of the holy equal-to-the-apostles grand duke vladimir in balashikha near moscow. after construction was completed, i personally illuminated it. during this time, the main temple of the russian guard troops became one of the centers of spirituality for residents moscow region.

the russian guard protects religious sites, ensures the safety of events during religious holidays , and provides every possible support to clergy in the special military zone. meet popular moscow writer nikolai rebinin your brother is in the donbass you have to go there you have to go there just for the passengers to ride here i’m not a fighter i came for my brother
